Plenty to talk about post-Thanksgiving including fun rivalry results (Egg Bowl, Commonwealth Cup, Iron Bowl, etc.) and the coaching carousel getting into full swing. Where will Curt Cignetti be coaching next season?
Thanksgiving is here and with it, rivalry week & all of the rational, emotion-free takes. Coach E joins the pod this week and we have plenty of opinions on Thanksgiving sides/deserts to go along with our normal shenanigans. Games picked = vpi @ UVA, Cincinnati @ Memphis, Ohio State @ Michigan, Alabama @ Auburn, Wisconsin @ Minnesota, and Oklahoma @ Oklahoma State.
A bit of a lackluster board for Week 13 but we do have a big one in the B1G to enjoy as well as major ACC Coastal implications in Blacksburg. Games picked = Penn State @ Ohio State, Pittsburgh @ Virginia Tech, SMU @ Navy, Texas @ Baylor, and Temple @ Cincinnati.
Week 12 happened - Baylor & Minnesota sadly exit the group of undefeated squads and of course thoughts and prayers go out to Tua after his injury. Bonus off-the-rails discussion on Star Wars movies, Chip & Joanna Gaines, and many other important lifestyle topics.
Full-squad show for our Week 12 appetizer, before we get into Serious Football Talk we cover everything from public school lunches to Family Life classes in high school. Games picked = Indiana @ Penn State, Navy @ Notre Dame, Georgia @ Auburn, Minnesota @ Iowa, and Oklahoma @ Baylor.
We’re back to recap a Week 11 that included the LSU-Alabama blockbuster and James Franklin failing on another big stage against still-undefeated Minnesota. Plenty of coaching speculation as well with Arkansas putting an end to the Chad Morris era.
Week 11 brings us two matchups between unbeaten squads, important ACC Coastal implications , and more opportunities for hot seats to get warmer or cool off for certain coaches. Games picked = Baylor @ TCU, Penn State @ Minnesota, LSU @ Alabama, Kansas State @ Texas, and Iowa @ Wisconsin.
We had a lot of top teams on byes this past weekend so not much to discuss in terms of upsets but Florida State secured their spot on the coaching carousel and we of course have plenty of lifestyle content to cover as well.
Week 10 is upon us but before we talk CFB we also dabble in some World Series action and NBA fight analysis. Games picked = Miami @ Florida State, Florida vs. Georgia, Utah @ Washington, SMU @ Memphis, and UVA @ UNC.
Are the Big 12’s Playoff chances dead after Oklahoma loses to K-State? Did any coaches improve their hot-seat situation? What adulting concerns are we most upset about this weekend? How do we keep giving our picks away for free?
Week 9 - good matchups to get excited about as conference races continue to take shape. Games picked = Wisconsin @ Ohio State, Auburn @ LSU, Oklahoma State @ Iowa State, Notre Dame @ Michigan, and California @ Utah.
Week 8 - clarity for some conferences/divisions, chaos for others. The ACC Coastal remains the weirdest roller coaster ride in the game, Wisconsin gives Illinois quite a homecoming gift, and Alabama will be without Tua for the immediate future. Good week of picks for the gang!
Week 8 - not quite the same top-heavy schedule we had last week but still plenty of potential fun to be had. Games picked = Florida @ South Carolina, Oregon @ Washington, Temple @ SMU, Arizona State @ Utah, and Michigan @ Penn State.
Week 7 was an awesome week across the board and Florida-LSU somehow lived up to the hype. Join us as we flame various offensive coordinators and get off the rails to stay true to our brand.
Week 7 brings us some of the most important games to date this season with big games across several conferences. Games picked = Oklahoma vs Texas, Alabama @ Texas A&M, USC @ Notre Dame, Penn State @ Iowa, and Florida @ LSU.
Week 6 is in the books and with that roughly half of this college football regular season - the Auburn/Florida game largely lived up to the hype and there were some not-so-predictable results that have left us puzzled (looking at you, Washington and Miami).
Week 6 brings plenty of conference match-ups along with it and we also spend some time discussing California’s recently-signed Fair Pay to Play Act & its potential impacts on the landscape of collegiate athletics. Games picked = Iowa @ Michigan, Auburn @ Florida, Michigan State @ Ohio State, California @ Auburn, and Washington @ Stanford.
A fairly vanilla set of results came out of Week 5’s matchups but they still provided plenty to talk about, and we have officially entered Coaching Search SZN as Rutgers is the first to eject a coach from his hot seat. Our Mack Brown impersonations also return as UNC comes painfully close to upsetting #1 Clemson in Chapel Hill.
We’re back to preview week 5 and also discuss such topics as D’Eriq King’s interesting red-shirt decision as well as who will replace Jeremy Pruitt at Tennessee. Games picked = UVA @ Notre Dame, USC @ Washington, Kansas State @ Oklahoma State, Mississippi State @ Auburn, and Washington State @ Auburn.
We’re already a third of the way through this CFB season and our last major weekend of non-conference games is ready for review. UCLA-Washington State was the crown jewel in terms of chaos; bonus discussion of head coach sideline body language!
