Conference championship weekend is somehow upon us so we are prepared to dutifully provide our picks, but we’ve also got a ton of coaching moves/news to discuss including a last-minute shocker from Charlottesville that called for an emergency bonus session (1:09:35) to discuss the UVA situation.
Jam-packed episode as we recap Thanksgiving & rivalry weekend then dive into an absurd coaching carousel thus far; episode recorded as Brian Kelly texted Notre Dame players about their 7AM Tuesday morning meeting that ended up lasting 11 minutes.
Yes, there are picks and games to review but the big news of Sunday afternoon was the firing of Florida coach Dan Mullen, so join us for another deep dive into the Florida big board and how things around the country might be impacted by that opening.
Plenty of coaching carousel discussion to take on, including a new opening in Blacksburg. Games picked = Michigan State @ Ohio State, Arkansas @ Alabama, SMU @ Cincinnati, Virginia @ Pittsburgh, and Oregon @ Utah.
Washington has joined the coaching carousel fray, Florida escapes a potentially disastrous loss but might ultimately join them, Kansas doubles their win total on the season, and we dive into some gambling talk as well.
Join us to muse over the hirings at UCONN and Texas Tech, as well as look forward to this weekend’s games that could play a role in the playoff picture. Games picked = Oklahoma @ Baylor, Georgia @ Tennessee, Purdue @ Ohio State, Texas A&M @ Ole Miss, and NC State @ Wake Forest.
2-man crew to review Week 10, take some alternative looks at the coaching carousel, take the temperature of things in Gainesville, and much more. Better picks for at least one of us this past weekend as well!
Plenty to discuss this week leading up to Week 10 including happenings in JMU land, the coaching carousel continuing to evolve, and college football playoff rankings. Games picked = Wake Forest @ UNC, Liberty @ Ole Miss, Auburn @ Texas A&M, Boise State @ Fresno State, and Oregon @ Washington.
Tough week for the boys’ picks to discuss, but that doesn’t take away from the joy of having TCU join the coaching carousel and it doesn’t diminish some of the venting we allow ourselves regarding schools wearing orange and blue.
We’re back in a big way to own last week’s picks & make new ones for this week, but we also take the time to recap a golf-heavy weekend in Florida, invent a new gas station snack, and solve Texas Tech’s coaching vacancy. Games picked = Michigan @ Michigan State, Georgia v Florida, Ole Miss @ Auburn, Penn State @ Ohio State, and Virginia @ BYU.
Week 8, on paper, doesn’t look so hot in terms of matchups but we have still showed up to discuss coaching carousel developments and pick some winners. Games picked = Syracuse @ Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State @ Iowa State, LSU @ Ole Miss, Clemson @ Pittsburgh, and NC State @ Miami.
We return to once again own a lackluster week of picks but a somewhat exciting stretch of games amongst those we had highlighted. Plenty of coaching carousel discussion as well!
2-man crew this week to take a look at the coaching carousel and the Week 7 board; bonus alternate uniform talk! Games picked = Oklahoma State @ Texas, Florida @ LSU, Kentucky @ Georgia, Pittsburgh @ Virginia Tech, and TCU @ Oklahoma.
Week 6 brought its own special brand of chaos to the party with plenty of exciting finishes including Alabama falling to Texas A&M, Oklahoma surging back past Texas, and Notre Dame stealing one on the road in Blacksburg.
We’ve got some potentially feisty games on the board this weekend, especially in the SEC and B1G; bonus roasting of Texas A&M shenanigans! Games picked = Texas vs Oklahoma, Arkansas @ Ole Miss, Georgia @ Auburn, Penn State @ Iowa, and Michigan @ Nebraska.
Week 5 made things tough on our picks but there was plenty of fun to be had with all of the chaos that showed up for the party. Bonus targeting rule debate!
The board looks pretty intriguing for Week 5, with conference play rounding into full swing and several ranked-on-ranked matchups at stake. Games picked = Arkansas @ Georgia, Cincinnati @ Notre Dame, Ole Miss @ Alabama, Baylor @ Oklahoma State, and UCONN @ Vanderbilt.
Week 4 saw some more curious performances from several Top 25 teams and a dominant USA win in the Ryder Cup. No new job openings of note but that doesn’t mean we’re out of ideas for where guys should go next.
Out of respect for the Ryder Cup there aren’t too many prime matchups on the board this weekend, but we’ve still got predictions (and bonus hot seat discussion!). Games picked = Notre Dame v Wisconsin, Louisville @ Florida State, Texas A&M v Arkansas, UCLA @ Stanford, and West Virginia @ Oklahoma.
Week 3 is in the books - Alabama/Florida delivered, road Bo Nix was improved but still not enough for an Auburn win, Cincinnati overcame another slow start, and UVA has a defense problem.
