About this episode
It’s College Football Playoff week — and already, the product isn’t matching the promise. This episode of The Iowa Nice Guy covers: • Alabama vs. Oklahoma and the art of the 13–10 slog • Miami being “back” (again) and Texas A&M spending its way to confusion • A first-round playoff slate that feels recycled and uninspired • Why Tulane–Ole Miss and JMU–Oregon aren’t what we were sold • Fernando Mendoza winning the Heisman the right way • Diego Pavia turning a Vanderbilt fairy tale into a social media meltdown • Michigan firing Sherrone Moore — allegedly — and the suspicious timing behind it • The new NCAA transfer rules and what Michigan really bought itself • And the uncomfortable question: is Michigan closer to Nebraska than Ohio State? It’s playoff week. It’s messy. It’s loud. And it’s college football in 2025. 🍺 Presented by Modelo
