Week 9 was one for the sickos, as action on the field was often lacking in crispness and pizzazz but there was certainly some entertainment to be found if you were watching through a certain lens - we also take a dive into LSU’s firing of Brian Kelly which broke ~30 minutes before recording.
The lads are back from a midseason golfing retreat to recap Week 8, look ahead to Week 9, and review the current status of the coaching carousel (most notably in Gainesville). Games picked = Virginia @ North Carolina, Ole Miss @ Oklahoma, South Florida @ Memphis, Missouri @ Vanderbilt, and Texas A&M @ LSU.
Week 7 brought us plenty to react to, most notably in the B1G where Indiana asserted themselves as a legitimate title contender and Penn State bought out James Franklin after a second consecutive bad loss.
Back on a quick turnaround to look towards a weekend of games that appear to be a marked improvement (on paper) over Week 6, as well as rumblings of turmoil in Chapel Hill. Games picked = Ohio State @ Illinois, Alabama @ Missouri, Indiana @ Oregon, Oklahoma v Texas, and Arizona State @ Utah.
Back to recap a fun (for us) Week 6 including tales from Gainesville, an absolute stinker from Big Game James Franklin & Penn State, UNC is still bad, JMU finds a way, UVA survives another overtime contest, and more. Bonus fast-food takes for those who stay to the end!
Join us in prayer that Week 6’s games will deliver plenty of juice despite their lack of pizzazz on paper. Games picked = Iowa State @ Cincinnati, Texas @ Florida, Vanderbilt @ Alabama, Miami @ Florida State, and Kansas @ UCF.
Not our best picks this go-around but a fun weekend of sport spectating - UVA takes down FSU in 2OT, Team Europe wins the Ryder Cup, Arkansas joins the coaching carousel, and more (including discourse on Buc-ee’s cuisine).
Conference matchups are in full swing, the Ryder Cup is here, SEC permanent matchups have been announced, and Oklahoma State hops on the coaching carousel. Games picked = Florida State @ Virginia, USC @ Illinois, LSU @ Ole Miss, Oregon @ Penn State, and Alabama @ Georgia.
We’re back to discuss an entertaining week of games that included some surprise results, a (slightly) better outcome for our picks, and of course update our thoughts on the current coaching carousel & schools that appear likely to ultimately join the firing/hiring fray
A two-man preview operation this week - more in-conference games are populating the schedule and we also have some hot-seat/carousel thoughts to enter into the record. Games picked = Texas Tech @ Utah, Auburn @ Oklahoma, Michigan @ Nebraska, Florida @ Miami, and Illinois @ Miami.
Week 3 brought us some ups and some downs with mixed results dear to our hearts, but perhaps most-notably the coaching carousel has already begun spinning with both UCLA and Virginia Tech releasing their respective big whistles.
After a brief hiatus induced by travel/life/injury, we’re back to provide a brief summation of our picking & viewing experiences from Weeks 1 & 2 as well as look forward to the Week 3 board. Games picked = Clemson @ Georgia Tech, Georgia @ Tennessee, South Florida @ Miami, Florida @ LSU, and Texas A&M @ Notre Dame.
We’re back in the saddle for a quick recap of our respective offseasons and to look forward to the first full schedule of the 2025 season. Games picked = Texas @ Ohio State, Alabama @ Florida State, LSU @ Clemson, Virginia Tech vs South Carolina, and Notre Dame @ Miami.
It’s time for our final episode of the season, in which we recap Ohio State’s national title victory over Notre Dame and take a brief look ahead at betting favorites for next year. We then delve into the ever-popular segment of reviewing our golf/personal goals from 2024 and setting new marks for 2025.
After ample time for our takes to marinate, we return to discuss what we remember about the 2 CFP semifinals games and pick the upcoming championship matchup between Ohio State and Notre Dame.
After some reflection, it’s time to review the CFP quarterfinals that saw all teams with a bye eliminated from the playoff; the seminfals are set and we pick those as well. Games picked = Penn State v Notre Dame and Ohio State v Texas.
We have returned from Christmas Break for our final episode of 2024; not much to report from the coaching carousel but we’ve had an above-average Bowl Season so far and the 2nd round of the College Football Playoff is near. Games picked = Penn State v Boise State, Texas v Arizona State, Oregon v Ohio State, and Notre Dame v Georgia.
The dust has settled on the first round of College Football Playoff action (and other bowl games!); join us to relive the highlights and discuss whether or not the margins of victory should be concerning in this new era of identifying a champion.
After a brief rest, we’ve returned to catch up on the developments on the coaching carousel, discuss some early bowl games and dive into the first round matchups of the College Football Playoff. Games picked = Indiana @ Notre Dame, SMU @ Penn State, Clemson @ Texas, and Tennessee @ Ohio State.
The conference championships have been settled on a banner weekend of picks for the gang - join us to recap those games, weigh in on the College Football Playogg bracket, and visit the status of the coaching carousel.
