Why Penn State fired James Franklin now | Candidates for the Nittany Lions' next coach Oct 12, 2025

Penn State has fired coach James Franklin after consecutive losses as a 20-point favorite. It’s a dramatic fall for a program that opened the season with national title aspirations. The Nittany Lions will eat a $48.6 million buyout, but that amount could be reduced if Franklin gets another job. And there is a good chance he will, because he will be a desirable candidate for multiple programs. Meanwhile, who does Penn State hire? Alum Matt Rhule? Matt Campbell? Do the Nittany Lions try to pry Curt Cignetti away from Indiana? Our show is presented by BetMGM!

Indiana PROVES itself at Oregon | FIRE EVERYBODY (Florida, Wisconsin, Penn State, Florida State) Oct 12, 2025

Andy and Ari break down an absolutely wild day in college football!

Indiana went to Oregon and put to rest any questions about the Hoosiers’ legitimacy. Now where does Indiana rank among the best in the country?

Elsewhere, fans — or at least Penn State, Wisconsin, Florida and Florida State fans — wants to fire their coach and Auburn fans want someone other than SEC officials to work their games. (And probably want to fire their coach.)

Andy and Ari break it all down.

Are the Missouri Tigers REAL CFP contenders in the SEC? Eli Drinkwitz joins the show | CFB Week 5's Best Bets: Bama-UGA, LSU-Ole Miss | Tennessee at Mississippi State, Indiana at Iowa Sep 25, 2025

Happy Thursday! It's a Dear Andy & Ari episode as we gear up for a HUGE week of college football ahead. We answer your questions on the show, but first we have Missouri head coach Eliah Drinkwitz on the show. While Missouri has jumped out to a hot 4-0 start with wins over Kansas and South Carolina, the Tigers look to be a real threat in the SEC this season. Watch here as Coach Drinkwitz joins the show to discuss Beau Pribula's transfer, Ahmad Hardy's emergence, and his rules for life.

After Coach Drinkwitz, it's time for your questions. First, we look at some road favorites in conference play this weekend in Indiana at Iowa and Tennessee at Mississippi State. Will both of these road favorites take care of business? Or will a home team win as an underdog?

Next, a listener asks about Curt Cignetti in the coaching carousel. Would the head coach entertain other jobs? Should schools give him a call? Andy explains why the Hoosier head coach might be happy in Bloomington.

To wrap up the mailbag, a Sooner fan asks about Oklahoma's outlook with the news of John Mateer's injury. Can OU make the CFP even if they finish 9-3? Andy & Ari seem to think so.

To close out today's show, Tyler Shoemaker from VSiN joins to give the best bets ahead of week 5 in college football. A jam-packed slate and Tyler gives us his best bets here.

INSTAGRAM OFFICIAL: Why LSU-Ole Miss is the BEST game of College Football’s Week 5 Schedule Sep 23, 2025

On Monday night, Lane Kiffin tweeted the 3 words "Take the over" with a football emoji at the end of it. What prompted this? A social media post with Lane Kiffin's daughter and LSU LB Whit Weeks ahead of the LSU-Ole Miss game this weekend. Now that the world knows that Landry Kiffin is dating LSU's linebacker, this game in Oxford just got a lot more interesting. Watch as Andy & Ari break this news down and then dive into the LSU-Ole Miss matchup from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

The megaboard is HERE, and Andy & Ari take you through the best of this week's posts, but first, there's a discussion to be had regarding the AP Poll. On Tuesday afternoon, the talk on social media was swirling around the AP Poll after a voter placed Florida 2 spots higher after its loss to USF. How should the AP Poll be regarded? Is it necessary in this era of college football? Does it even matter? The guys dive deep into this conversation.

To kickoff the megaboard, we take a look at LettermenRow, where the Buckeye fans are keeping a close watch on Michigan QB Bryce Underwood after his first 2 starts for the Wolverines.

Later, the fellas head to Columbia, South Carolina to discuss the matchup between the Gamecocks and Commodores in Williams-Brice Stadium. Kicking off at 7:45 on the SEC Network, this game has the elements to be very competitive. With two dynamic quarterbacks and a sense of optimism for both programs, there's no telling what will happen under the lights on Saturday night.

Afterwards, the guys discuss USC before its trip to Indiana to take on the Boilermakers of Purdue. While this is the CBS game of the week, Lincoln Riley and the Trojans have looked really good the first 2 weeks of the season. Are the Trojans for real this season? Will they be able to take care of business against Purdue on Saturday?

To close the megaboard episode, Andy & Ari discuss a post from Husker Online regarding Livvy Dunne.

Brian Kelly DEFENDS Billy Napier ahead of the Florida vs LSU showdown in Baton Rouge Sep 09, 2025

Week 3 of College Football is approaching quickly, and on Monday, Brian Kelly defended his opponent ahead of the pivotal SEC matchup between Florida and LSU in Baton Rouge. After Billy Napier lost to USF this past Saturday, a question was asked to Brian Kelly regarding the Florida Gators head coach. Andy & Ari break down his comments here.

Later, the fellas head over to Boulder, Colorado, to go in depth on the quarterback room for Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes. After a big win over Delaware in week 2, the Buffs may have a new signal caller in Boulder for the season. What do you think?

Also, some news out of the Big 12 regarding a game on Friday night: the officiating crew that worked the Missouri vs Kansas game this past weekend has been removed from its assignment on Friday night. Andy & Ari dive into this news.

Bill Belichick gets CLOBBERED by TCU in his college football debut at North Carolina Sep 02, 2025

Andy and Ari react to TCU's walloping of North Carolina in Bill Belichick's long-awaited college football debut. During the time of the recording, the game was still going on, so it's more of a fourth-quarter watch party. TCU would go on to win the game by a final of 48-14.

On Thursday, the SEC announced that starting in 2026, the conference will move to a nine game scheduling format. What does this mean for the rest of the sport? What will the Big Ten do next?

Why the SEC will NOT CROWN Alabama, Texas, or Georgia in the 2025 season | Oklahoma CFP? Clemson, Oregon repeat as Champs? Ohio State - Best WR Room? Aug 21, 2025

As Andy released his bold predictions for the upcoming college football season, it's Ari's turn to take a crack at it now, and he's got some good ones. Is Arch Manning really that much of a lock to be in New York for the Heisman Trophy? What will the College Football Playoff look like with the new protocols; and will any 9-3 teams make this year's 12-team field? Plenty of questions to be answered in today's jam packed show!

(1:11:35-1:14:49) Revisiting last year's bold predictions

(1:14:50-1:15:24) Conclusion: Dear Andy & Ari tomorrow

As Ari dives deeper into his bold predictions, he makes some bold claims regarding Oklahoma in the playoffs. Do the Sooners really have any shot to make the 12-team field? Ari seems to think so.

In Big Ten land, Ohio State boasts an electrifying wide receiver room. Is this the best wide receiver core in the country? And will Jeremiah Smith even be the top target in Columbus? Watch here as Ari pleads the case for Carnell Tate to have a big season.

Remaining in the Big Ten, Ari is big on the Oregon Ducks. After a stellar regular season a year ago, Ari believes Dan Lanning's squad is poised for another big time season. Do you agree? Can the Ducks get it done?

While Dabo Swinney continues to lead the Clemson Tigers his own way, Ari has bought in to the hype and has predicted that Clemson will repeat as ACC Champions. Do you agree with this take? Can Clemson really keep a perfect regular season record on the way to the ACC Championship?

On today's Andy & Ari On3, Andy provides his 10 boldest predictions before the season. How dominant will Penn State be this season? Is Alabama the frontrunner to win the SEC? What will Utah do in the Big 12? All these questions answered, but first, we head down to Auburn to evaluate Hugh Freeze and the Tigers on the plains.

(1:13:28-1:14:42) Conclusion

Will Notre Dame be a recipient of a top-4 seed and a bye in the CFP? Andy seems to think so. With CJ Carr beginning the year at QB in Miami Gardens, the Fighting Irish are in a prime position to continue its winning ways.

At Penn State, the expectations are sky high, and Andy boldly predicts that the Nittany Lions and James Franklin will meet those expectations this season. Do you think PSU is poised for a run?

It's never too early to discuss The Game. Watch as Andy explains why the Buckeyes will turn recent history around this season against Michigan.

Wednesday, Oklahoma’s Brent Venables and Florida’s Billy Napier take the stage. Venables is probably under the most pressure. Napier lived through it last season, but he still has to show more improvement.

Also, Arch Manning took media days by storm. OK, not really. He gave nice, polite answers and Andy is waiting for the more unfiltered stuff from Omaha productions.

Late Tuesday, CBS News reported that President Donald Trump intends to sign an executive order related to college sports “in the coming days.” What does that mean? And what might that look like?

(1:05:07-1:31:38) Random Ranking: Songs You're Embarrassed That You Love
(1:31:39-1:34:37) Conclusion: THANK YOU!

Gundy explains why he thinks college football needs a collective bargaining agreement. He also makes some recommendations for a commissioner of the sport.

He also offers a shocking — or maybe not-so-shocking — reason for Oklahoma State’s fall from 10 wins in 2023 to three wins in 2024. The Cowboys didn’t spend any money on transfer players before last season. Gundy said that has changed this season and Oklahoma State is operating more like the other teams in the Big 12.

It’s also a Dear Andy/Dear Ari day, and you’ve asked some excellent questions.

Which new starting QB are you most confident in?

Who are some sleeper Group of 5 playoff contenders?

(2:26-13:14) Deion Sanders and "bulljunk"

(51:26-1:00:45) Is Utah a Big 12 contender?
(1:00:46-1:02:10) Conclusion: Dear Andy & Ari tomorrow!

Cody Campbell, the former Texas Tech offensive linemen who made his fortune in oil and gas — and who probably inspired two characters in the hit show Landman — joins to discuss his efforts to help his alma mater become a national title contender and his effort to reform college sports.

These two things seem to be at odds with one another, and Cody explains that they are. He’d like to create a system that shuts down any potential super league and keeps all the current FBS schools supported, and he has an idea he thinks would make all of them more money. But in the meantime, he’s using the rules — or lack thereof — in the current system to help the Red Raiders fund a massive roster upgrade.

Also, the boys didn’t get Deion Sanders on the show, but Ari talked to Colorado freshman QB Julian Lewis. Sanders brought Lewis, a highly touted freshman, and senior Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter to media days. It’s an unusual move, but Ari explains why it fits the vibe of the program.

Can the Big 12 create national title contenders? Jul 09, 2025

Andy and Ari are back at Big 12 media days, and they’re talking about how much has changed in two years.

(36:02-41:26) Colorado at Media Days
(41:27-43:42) Conclusion: Ari & Pop-Tarts

Two years ago, Texas and Oklahoma were leaving and Ari was asking Brett Yormark if this was about to become a Group of 5 league. Now the league feels strong and stable. But the next step is creating national title contenders. How does that happen, and which schools are the best candidates to become those kinds of programs?

Later, the guys talk to Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire about the Red Raiders’ roster upgrades and a new focus on elite recruits.

(51:03-53:48) Conclusion: Big 12 Group Photo

Join the boys from The Star in Frisco, Texas, as they preview the first major conference media days. That’s right. The long offseason is over.

Ari wonders if we’re underrating a good group of Big 12 quarterbacks. Big Ten and SEC schools tried to get players like Baylor’s Sawyer Robertson and TCU’s Josh Hoover to enter the transfer portal. They stuck with their teams, but they probably aren’t getting as much shine as they’d be getting in those leagues. But it’s possible the Big 12 is the deepest QB league in the country.

What questions should Andy and Ari ask coaches like Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham, Baylor’s Dave Aranda and Utah’s Kyle Whittingham?

The curious case of the new millionaire Texas Tech offensive lineman Jul 07, 2025

The boys are back live, and they’ve got a lot to discuss!
(0:00-0:36) Welcome Back!

(55:08-57:15) Charles Jagusah Injury
(57:16-1:00:55) Conclusion: Big 12 Media Days this week!

Five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo committed to Texas Tech last week. Ojo’s agent said Ojo agreed to a guaranteed three-year deal worth $5.1 million. Texas Tech sources quickly responded, claiming the guaranteed portion of the deal is actually worth closer to $2.3 million over three years.

The entire saga is fascinating. There was the usual hand-wringing about how this is ruining college sports, but would Ojo have agreed to go to Texas Tech any other way? Plus, the way the salary news leaked out has a very NFL-in-2005 feel to it. It shows that we who cover college football need to get more sophisticated.

Also, BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff is expected to enter the transfer portal. Retzlaff is leaving BYU rather than face a reported seven-game suspension for violating the school’s honor code.

Meanwhile, Alabama is on a recruiting hot streak that looks like the Nick Saban days. The Crimson Tide had four top-50 players commit in the past two weeks.

How many programs will win a national title in the next 10 years, and which teams will pull it off?

The NBA just crowned its seventh different champion in seven years. Is college football headed for a similar level of competitiveness, or will a few teams still dominate the landscape. In the 11 seasons of the College Football Playoff, there have been six different champions (Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, LSU, Georgia, Michigan).

Is it possible the curve is flattening enough to have eight or nine different champs in 10 years?

Did Ole Miss simply create a new window for playoff contention with another portal haul?

Everyone expects Oregon to be good, but can the Ducks contend for a national title with several key spots filled by players who transferred in this offseason?

Is Rich Rodriguez trying to do at West Virginia what Curt Cignetti did at Jacksonville State?

Has USC gotten its NIL operation in order in a way that allows the Trojans to regularly beat out national title contenders for players? It certainly seems that way.

It’s also a Dear Andy/Dear Ari show, and you have some incredible questions…

Which college football program would get the highest valuation?

If you had no rooting interest and got to choose a college football team to back, which team would be the most fun to root for over the next 20 years?

Could the College Football Playoff simply require teams play a minimum number of power conference games?

Could Vanderbilt REALLY run the state of Tennessee? Diego Pavia thinks so Jun 18, 2025

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia continues to liven up the college football world, this time with a pledge on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast that after this season Vanderbilt will “run” the state of Tennessee. This was a shot at Tennessee, which has a fanbase that certainly won’t take that statement lightly.
(0:00-2:53) Intro: Diego Pavia
(2:54-15:19) Could Vanderbilt run the state of Tennessee?
(15:20-24:13) How much money is too much money?
(24:14-31:40) Generational wealth, Pavia on Big Ten
(31:41-48:49) CFP Format: 9 Conference games for SEC?

(1:10:01-1:15:07) Producer River's stakes on Tennessee-Vandy
(1:15:08-1:16:16) Conclusion: "Brick by Brick"

Meanwhile, Illinois coach Bret Bielema told a group of reporters that he doesn’t believe the College Football Playoff should expand to 16 if the SEC doesn’t play nine conference game. This came as conference commissioners were meeting in Asheville, N.C., to discuss the CFP format for 2026 and beyond.

General manager Ron Rivera has the keys at Cal; will other schools follow suit? Jun 17, 2025

In the new age of college football, the title “general manager” means something different on every campus. Several schools have hired GMs and given them something similar to the power of an NFL GM.
(0:00-0:22) Intro
(0:23-19:44) Ron Rivera's Role at Cal, House Settlement
(19:45-20:06) Watch our show on YouTube!

(39:31-43:38) Putting a bow on the GM discussion
(43:39-52:06) Jake Garcia signs with Michigan
(52:07-53:59) Conclusion

We thought that might create a power struggle with coaches, but what happened Monday suggests it also may create a power struggle with athletic directors.

Cal athletic director Jim Knowlton retired with four years left on his contract, and it’s clear that newly installed GM Ron Rivera — the former Panthers and Commanders head coach — has assumed the role Knowlton had when it comes to football.

Meanwhile, well-traveled quarterback Jake Garcia committed to Michigan. The former four-star recruit has been at Miami, Missouri and East Carolina. Why are the Wolverines dipping into the portal for a QB now?

New Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski was a star at South Dakota State, and he might bring the one thing the Hawkeyes have been missing — competent QB play — to Iowa City.

We’ve talked a lot about John Mateer at Oklahoma, but he could make a massive difference in the Sooners’ fortunes.

Meanwhile, new Nebraska receiver Dane Key came from Kentucky and might help Dylan Raiola take the next big step.

(40:56-44:03) Dylan Raiola at Nebraska
(44:04-45:43) Who do we talk about the most?
(45:44-46:11) Conclusion: Happy Memorial Day!

Ari believes Auburn receiver Cam Coleman could be a breakout star. He also thinks Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain could be a force now that he’s fully healthy.

Andy thinks Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed has been lost in the shuffle with all the talk about new starting QBs in the SEC. Reed will be the leader of Team Chaos, so he could play a very important role this season.

Andy and Ari agree that Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman is a huge key to the Ducks’ portal reload.

Ari talked to Matt Rhule after Ari's column enraged the entire state of Nebraska May 22, 2025

Ari once again has enraged the state of Nebraska, this time with a column criticizing Nebraska coach Matt Rhule’s stance on the College Football Playoff.

(0:00-0:43) Intro
(0:44-22:30) Ari and the Nebraska Cornhuskers
(22:31-24:48) Watch us on YouTube, Wrapping up Nebraska

(1:09:01-1:12:42) Wisconsin to play Notre Dame in Lambeau Field in 2026
(1:12:43-1:13:49) Conclusion

After a joke Rhule made about a 40-team playoff in an interview with HuskerOnline began circulating Wednesday, Ari wrote a column critical of Rhule’s previously stated stance that it wasn’t worth playing difficult non-conference games in the current system. To put it more bluntly, Ari called that attitude “soft.”

Rhule and pretty much everyone else in Nebraska took offense, and it culminated in a conversation between Rhule and Ari that hopefully cleared the air.

In other news, Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! reports that conference commissioners are expected to approve straight seeding for the 2025 playoff in a conference call Thursday.

BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff has been accused of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit.

It’s also a Dear Andy/Dear Ari show, and you sent some great questions…

Is Georgia coach Kirby Smart’s philosophy of ensuring the proven players on his team make more than unproven freshmen a sound one?

Texas and Ohio State both lost a lot of drafted players. Is the confidence in Texas reloading based on confidence in Arch Manning?

(52:22-1:00:46) Conclusion: Cotton Bowl Food

Tennessee (the state) passed a law that appears to be insurance in case the House v. NCAA settlement blows up. The SEC and the other power conferences are demanding that their schools abide by the rules created by the settlement. Tennessee (the university) fears those rules may violate federal law and doesn’t want to get sued.

It’s a standoff!

Plus, is USC about to cancel its football series with Notre Dame? If the series dies, would it be one of the softest moves in college football history?

Miami LOADS UP in the spring transfer portal — should that excite or concern? May 07, 2025

Miami has been very active in the spring transfer portal, grabbing multiple players who likely will wind up either starting or playing major roles for the Hurricanes this season.

The latest is former Auburn DB Keionte Scott, who spent the spring at Houston but reunites with former Auburn and Houston secondary coach Zac Etheridge in Miami. The Hurricanes also have added former Texas kicker Bert Auburn, former North Dakota State tailback CharMar Brown, former N.C. State linebacker Kamal Bonner, former Cincinnati receiver Tony Johnson and former BYU receiver/kick returner Keelon Marion.

Can the Hurricanes get to the College Football Playoff with this roster?

Also, ESPN’s Heather Dinich said Tuesday that the seeding still might change for the 2025 College Football Playoff. Everyone agrees the seeding should change, but for everyone outside the Big Ten and SEC there is little incentive to make that change for this year.

Later, Andy and Ari pick their favorite On3 graphics…

Michigan has self-imposed a two-game suspension for head coach Sherrone Moore ahead of its Committee on Infractions hearing with the NCAA, ESPN reports.

Moore will miss the Central Michigan and Nebraska games — along with some recruiting restrictions — in a move that Michigan hopes will satisfy the NCAA with regard to Moore’s part in the Connor Stalions’ scandal.

The top-rated quarterback in the class of 2026 makes his college decision today! Jared Curtis, a 6-4, 225-pounder from Nashville, is choosing between Georgia and Oregon.

Steve Wiltfong, On3’s vice president of recruiting and transfer portal, joins Andy and Ari to handicap his pick and explain what it means for the rest of the recruiting cycle.

Michigan State needs a new AD. Could Sparty hire North Carolina's Bubba Cunningham? Kentucky Derby Preview May 02, 2025

(0:00-2:38) Intro: Kentucky Derby Weekend
(2:39-13:19) Michigan State fires AD Alan Haller

(34:46-43:20) Preview of Kentucky's 2025
(43:21-47:51) Wrapping up with Nick
(47:52-51:11) Conclusion
Michigan State is looking for a new athletic director who is equipped to lead the Spartans in the NIL era. Could that AD be North Carolina’s Bubba Cunningham, who didn’t lead the charge to hire Bill Belichick and who probably isn’t keen on dealing with the Belichick situation now?

Andy and Ari discuss some of the wild details of why Alan Haller’s tenure fell apart in East Lansing.

Later, Nick Roush of Kentucky Sports Radio joins to talk Kentucky Derby. Nick offers tips on who to bet in the Derby and in the undercard races on Saturday.

Nick also breaks down Kentucky football in 2025. Will the Wildcats get back to the style of play that made them consistent winners under Mark Stoops?

Also, Nick is waiting for the apologies from Tennessee fans who got mad when he called Nico Iamaleava an “$8 million volleyball player” last fall.

Is Bill Belichick at North Carolina going to work, or is it going to BLOW UP? May 01, 2025

We hosted Andy & Ari On3 LIVE from the Draft in Green Bay last week, and it was a blast. Thanks to Culver’s for bringing us to the Great Wisconsin Tailgate.

Born in Wisconsin, Culver’s is the home of the legendary ButterBurger, Fresh Frozen Custard and Wisconsin Cheese Curds—there’s no better representation of America’s Dairyland than that.

But Culver’s isn’t just in Wisconsin. There’s one near you now. So grab a ButterBurger and a Cement Mixer and let’s talk some football.

Also, who will play Belichick in the inevitable Lifetime movie about his relationship with Jordon Hudson?

If the SEC goes to nine conference games, what currently scheduled non-conference games might get canceled?

What is USC’s ceiling?

Was Quinn Ewers mis-evaluated?

The Arch Manning Paradox Apr 30, 2025

We hosted Andy & Ari On3 LIVE from the Draft in Green Bay last week, and it was a blast. Thanks to Culver’s for bringing us to the Great Wisconsin Tailgate.

Born in Wisconsin, Culver’s is the home of the legendary ButterBurger, Fresh Frozen Custard and Wisconsin Cheese Curds—there’s no better representation of America’s Dairyland than that.

(1:01:28-1:02:45) Conclusion: Dear Andy & Ari Tomorrow! Andystapleson3@gmail.com

We’re still discussing Andy’s post-spring top 25, and it’s time to have an extended discussion about the team at No. 1. Texas is transitioning to Arch Manning as its starting quarterback, and the expectations are sky-high.

But the discussion around where Quinn Ewers went in the draft has become a broader discussion about Texas and Manning, and Ari is fired up about the Manning bashing that has seeped into the conversation. Andy, meanwhile, is fascinated by the Arch Manning Paradox.

Andy wrote about the SEC and the continuing debate over whether to add a ninth conference game. Now it seems the decision hinges on what the new College Football Playoff format looks like.

North Carolina coach Bill Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson continues to make news following a weird appearance on CBS Sunday Morning. Who knew the greatest coach in NFL history coming to college football was going to provide so much fodder for TMZ?

Shedeur Sanders gets PRANKED by a dummy and gets PICKED by the Browns Apr 28, 2025

We hosted Andy & Ari On3 LIVE from the Draft in Green Bay last week, and it was a blast. Thanks to Culver’s for bringing us to the Great Wisconsin Tailgate.

(1:03:06-1:13:51) WR Trebor Pena to Penn State
(1:13:52-1:15:33) Conclusion

The NFL draft is in the books, and the Shedeur Sanders story continues to dominate. He finally got picked Saturday by Cleveland in the fifth round, but the weirdest story in the draft took a bizarre turn Sunday when one of the people who prank-called Sanders on Friday night was revealed to be the son of the Falcons’ defensive coordinator.

The draft story that will become a more interesting college football story in December and January is what happened to Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers. He was taken in the seventh round by the Miami Dolphins, meaning he probably would have made far more in NIL money by transferring and playing another season of college football.

Trebor Pena has decided he will be going to Penn State from Syracuse. Is this James Franklin's missing piece for the Nittany Lions?

(55:38-1:02:26) Conclusion

It’s Draft day, and Andy and Ari are live in Green Bay!

We know who is going first (Miami QB Cam Ward) and we’re pretty sure who is going second (Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter), but what happens after that is anyone’s guess.

How many QBs will go in the first round? The sports books have set the total at 2.5. Does that mean Ward, Shedeur Sanders and someone else? Could Louisville’s Tyler Shough sneak in?

Plus, Andy has some advice for the teams considering receivers: Don’t overthink it. Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan was the only weapon on a bad team and still put up huge numbers.

We also have quite a bit of college football news to discuss. The collective at Arkansas wants to collect a reported $200,000 from Madden Iamaleava after the freshman quarterback left last week to join his older brother Nico at UCLA.

Meanwhile, the federal judge overseeing the House v. NCAA case issued an order Wednesday saying she’d blow up the proposed settlement if the NCAA doesn’t phase in roster caps to keep athletes from getting cut from their teams because of the settlement.

Continuing, we dive deep into the position groups that will take over this year's draft and discuss Quinn Ewers out of Texas.

To close, we look at the best QB & WR duos in the game with a few years of eligibility left.

Finally, a fan asked about Indiana's 2025 outlook. Will the Hoosiers make it back to the CFP?

Andy and Ari unpack the quarterback swap — which included a brother to be named later — that ends the player acquisition portion of the Nico Iamaleava saga. Joey Aguilar left UCLA on Monday and committed to Tennessee by Monday evening. He’ll compete to replace Iamaleava, who left Tennessee for UCLA and took the job Aguilar had hoped to have. Meanwhile, Nico Iamaleava’s younger brother Madden left Arkansas and will transfer to UCLA, the school he flipped away from on National Signing Day.

Elsewhere in the transfer portal, former Syracuse receiver Trebor Pena is considering Penn State. This would be a huge pickup for the Nittany Lions, but they’ll have to fight off Miami to get him.

With QB Joey Aguilar headed from UCLA to Tennessee, it appears we have the first (unofficial) transfer portal trade in college football history. Former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava announced his transfer to UCLA on Sunday. Aguilar, who had come to UCLA this offseason after two years as Appalachian State’s starter, suddenly found himself without a job.

On Monday evening, Aguilar committed to Tennessee.

The 30 for 30 just writes itself.

The most sought-after recruit in the class of 2025 made his longest public appearance so far, and it appears Bryce Underwood is probably going to start at Michigan as a freshman. Is he ready? Do we know anything based on what we’ve seen?

Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton voiced his frustration last week with the transfer portal after the Buffaloes lost their starting center. Ari thinks someone playing for Colorado doesn’t need to complain about the portal. Andy thinks Seaton has every right.

Plus, Nico Iamaleava officially transfers to UCLA.

When will Nico and UCLA become OFFICIAL? Revisiting QB Rankings Apr 18, 2025

We’re excited to announce we’ll be hosting Andy & Ari On3 LIVE from the Draft in Green Bay on Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25! We’ll be set up right outside the famous Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field at the Culver’s Great Wisconsin Tailgate.

(1:13:17-1:13:58) Conclusion

It's Friday, and yes, Nico Watch still continues. While all signs point towards UCLA for the former Tennessee quarterback, there has yet to be anything official announced.

Meanwhile, the quarterback room for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish got a little smaller on Thursday, as veteran Steve Angeli enters the portal. Is this a potential option for Tennessee in 2025, or will Angeli look to go to the group of 5?

It's also a Dear Andy & Ari show, and we have some excellent questions from our listeners. First off we take a look at the 2023 QB class which contains Arch Manning, Nico Iamaleava, Sam Leavitt, and Lanorris Sellers. Were the qb rankings of these guys accurate so far? What about the class of 2021 and 2022?

More questions revolve around Nico, but one from an Oklahoma fan comes in on Jim Nagy: Is he worth the hype?

Later, the guys do a deep dive into North Carolina's situation on the field while discussing the news regarding Bill Belichick and his girlfriend.

To wrap up, we receive a gift from Producer River's high school coach: his hudl tape. We close out the show by breaking down some of River's best plays, and others that are definitely illegal these days.

The spring transfer portal has been open a day, and quarterback Nico Iamaleava remains the biggest conversation. He’s reportedly in talks with UCLA, but it doesn’t seem like the deal is done yet. Meanwhile, UCLA QB — and former Appalachian State QB — Joey Aguilar is waiting to find out what happens with Nico.

Pete Nakos of On3 joins Andy and Ari to break down that story as well as several other intriguing players hitting the portal.

North Carolina lost edge rusher Beau Atkinson, who was the Tar Heels’ most productive returning player.

Wisconsin lost tight end Tanner Koziol, who had transferred earlier this offseason from Ball State.

Boise State lost linebacker Andrew Simpson

Syracuse lost leading returning receiver Trebor Pena.

Syracuse coach Fran Brown broke down what happened with Pena on the Cuse Sports Talk show, leading to a hilarious rant about NIL deals.

The transfer portal is OPEN FOR BUSINESS and Nico is IN Apr 16, 2025

We’re excited to announce we’ll be hosting Andy & Ari On3 LIVE from the Draft in Green Bay on Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25! We’ll be set up right outside the famous Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field at the Culver’s Great Wisconsin Tailgate.

The transfer portal is OPEN FOR BUSINESS. Will we see any starting QBs jump in as a Nico Iamaleava domino effect, or will this portal cycle be relatively calm?

Oklahoma has been busy, signing Cal transfer RB Jaydn Ott and Stanford grad transfer offensive lineman Jake Maikkula on Tuesday.

Later, Andy and Ari debate their boss’s suggestion that Tennessee take Nico back (with many conditions, of course).

Plus, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman visited the Hard Count. Andy and Ari discuss what he said about his quarterback competition.

(1:04:17-1:07:22) Conclusion: Spring Portal opens tomorrow

The spring transfer portal opens Wednesday, but the names are already starting to trickle in.

The biggest name, of course, is former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava. It’s still unclear where he will land, but it’s becoming increasingly likely that he won’t be making a parallel move.

On Monday night, Cal tailback Jaydn Ott entered the portal. Meanwhile, a trio of Division II offensive linemen from the same team are picking up interest.

On3’s Pete Nakos joins Andy and Ari to break it all down.

(1:02:34-1:07:45) Conclusion: Nico and Belichick?

Now that quarterback Nico Iamaleava has left Tennessee, where might the former five-star recruit land? Some big-name schools got tossed around last week, but are any of them realistic? Is it possible Team Nico is still demanding too much money?

The flip side of that is Tennessee’s next move. Volunteers coach Josh Heupel said during the spring game he was excited to see the two scholarship QBs on Tennessee’s roster. But will the Vols reach into the portal to take another?

Meanwhile, there were spring games Saturday at major programs across the country. Ohio State, Notre Dame, Georgia, Alabama and Florida all wrapped spring practice.

Perhaps the biggest news came from Gainesville, where Florida coach Billy Napier said QB D.J. Lagway will be throwing again in a few weeks.

Closing out, T-Bob closes the show out with us to randomly rank his top 5 John Williams scores.

Whataburger fans, it’s time to celebrate — the Mushroom Swiss Burger is BACK!

And, honestly, it deserves a welcome party. Two juicy, all-beef patties, melty cheese and two

How Bruce Pearl's success coach SINKS Jeremy Pruitt's $100 million lawsuit Mar 28, 2025

Bring home the W with the ultimate tailgate package. The Burger Box from Whataburger is perfect for every occasion.

(58:31-1:07:22) Speculation in May?
(1:07:23-1:08:12) Conclusion

On Thursday, former Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt sued the NCAA for $100 million. One particular coach working Friday in the NCAA Tournament is probably the NCAA's best defense in the lawsuit. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl faced a similar situation and re-emerged and got a new job even before his NCAA penalties expired.

One coach was good at Tennessee and one coach wasn't. That's the difference.

Half the Elite Eight is set, and we’ve got four incredible games on Friday. On Thursday, Duke survived a scare from Arizona with an all-timer from freshman Cooper Flagg. The Blue Devils move on to face Alabama, which set an NCAA Tournament record for three-pointers made.

Florida wore out Maryland, and the top-seeded Gators will face Texas Tech, which stormed back from a huge deficit to force overtime and then beat Arkansas in the extra period.

Friday, we’ve got Kentucky-Tennessee, Ole Miss-Michigan State, Michigan-Auburn and Purdue-Houston.

We’re also on Kevin Willard watch. Will he take the Villanova job or stay at Maryland?

Meanwhile, college football news keeps coming.

Kent State coach Kenni Burns was placed on administrative leave.

Next, Andy and Ari answer your questions, including…

How good is the Stanford job?

Is it possible the College Football Playoff quarterfinals could move to campus?

Seth Davis of CBS Sports and HoopsHQ joins Andy and Ari to preview a loaded Sweet 16. The chalk of the early rounds created some huge matchups.

Can Arizona’s Caleb Love shock Duke the way he did as a North Carolina player in the Final Four in 2022, or are the Blue Devils just going to roll into the Elite Eight?

Is Michigan-Auburn the sneaky most exciting game of the round?

Kentucky has beaten Tennessee twice as an underdog. Can the Wildcats do it a third time, or will the Volunteers get a chance to keep chasing that elusive first Final Four appearance?

Plus, Stanford general manager Andrew Luck fired football coach Troy Taylor on Tuesday.

Also, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy thinks Bedlam should be revived as a spring game.

We’re buzzing about buzzer beaters after the first final shot to decide a game in this NCAA Tournament. Maryland’s Derik Queen called bank and called game to beat Colorado State and move on to the Sweet 16. But that wasn’t the only buzzer-beater Sunday that mattered. UConn nailed a shot as the buzzer sounded that didn’t help the Huskies at all, but it crushed Ari.

The Terrapins advancing also makes the situation involving coach Kevin Willard more interesting. Villanova wants a coach, and Willard might be a candidate. Maryland wants to keep Willard, and the price keeps going up as he keeps winning.

This leads to a discussion of football coaches who exercised similar leverage when they did their deals. Now these coaches are under pressure. Who is under the most pressure this season?

The first day of the NCAA Tournament was light on upsets but high on intrigue.

McNeese coach Will Wade led one of the upsets — against his alma mater Clemson — and then wasn’t shy about taking questions about his pursuit of the N.C. State job. Wade’s players didn’t seem to mind, either. Is this how coaches should handle job questions in the new era?

John Calipari’s Arkansas team beat Bill Self’s Kansas to set up a round two matchup against Rick Pitino and St. John’s.

Meanwhile, Ari spent Thursday in Las Vegas sweating free throws and late-game drama. Did he survive? Will he make the show?

Friday brings 16 more games. Where will the upsets come? Colorado State is a No. 12 seed but is a 1.5-point favorite against Memphis. No. 11 seed North Carolina is a 1.5-point favorite against No. 6 seed Ole Miss.

When Andy and Ari made their list of the toughest schedules in the country, one team kept popping up on those schedules: Texas A&M.

And because there are so many teams on the Aggies’ schedule facing pivotal seasons, it means that if Texas A&M is good, then the Aggies can wreak havoc across the SEC.

Texas A&M fans are still starved for a College Football Playoff run. Can Marcel Reed and a revamped group of skill position players get the Aggies there? And what happens everywhere else if they do?

Plus, Ari has made his predictions for the biggest quarterback battles of the offseason. How accurate will he be?

Spring practice has either begun or is about to begin at schools across the country, and Andy and Ari have questions.

Are any of the early enrollee true freshman quarterbacks (Michigan’s Bryce Underwood, Auburn’s Deuce Knight, USC’s Human Longstreet, Alabama’s Keelon Russell, Ohio State’s Tavien St. Clair) in a position to compete for the starting job at their new schools?

Can a transfer or freshman wide receiver at Penn State finally make that position group productive again?

Will we see Carson Beck throwing at Miami this spring?

LSU killed it in the portal, but can the Tigers develop a run game?

Fisch discusses why he’s still having a spring game, why the college general manager job still isn’t the same as the NFL general manager job and why we should get excited about Huskies sophomore quarterback Demond Williams Jr. playing behind a beefed-up offensive line.

Andy also asks Fisch if he realized former boss Bill Belichick was taking notes with a plan to move into college football.

It’s a great discussion with a coach who can speak authoritatively on the recent flow of NFL people and NFL ideas into college football because. Fisch has worked extensively at both levels.

It’s also a Dear Andy/Dear Ari show, and as always you’ve asked some tremendous questions…

Should Arizona State be offended by the level of uncertainty from the national media following Cam Skattebo’s departure?

What is the potential of Maryland football?

Could Iowa or Nebraska be the teams that surprise everyone next year?

Dabo Swinney said on Tuesday that Clemson will not go with the crowd and cancel its spring game. The Tigers will play one, even if a lot of other schools are cancelling or modifying theirs.

Swinney said a spring game won't increase tampering with his players (it'll happen anyway). So why are so many other coaches so worried? Andy has some thoughts.

Earlier this week, Ari unveiled what he believes will be the biggest storylines of the 2025 season.

But what will be the BIGGEST story of the year?

Arch Manning taking over as QB1 at Texas?

Will Oklahoma be back?

Can Ohio State overcome its Michigan problem?

Andy has a few suggestions as well…

The ACC plans to settle lawsuits with Clemson and Florida State, and the various boards are expected to approve the settlement on Tuesday.

Who came out on top? It sure seems like Clemson and Florida State (and North Carolina and Miami). The ACC has a set a sliding scale of buyout costs should a school want to leave the league, and the number gets very manageable just as the Big Ten’s current TV deal expires.

Does this mean there is an expiration date on this version of the ACC?

Lastly, Andy & Ari discuss Duke phenom Cooper Flagg and if he should consider staying another year in Durham.

Georgia football coach Kirby Smart helped keep the school from getting fined by asking students to wait to storm the floor after the Bulldogs beat Florida in basketball.

Ari covered the College Football Playoff meeting Tuesday, and he came away frustrated that no one will just say what they’re doing or what they’d prefer.

The ACC and Big 12 commissioners said they needed to run the numbers to determine how they might vote on the seeding rules for the 2025 season. Andy ran the numbers Tuesday night, and the answer seems pretty clear as to what those two leagues in particular should do.

As the NFL combine ramps up, news emerged that former Texas QB Quinn Ewers is prepared to throw for scouts. Ewers was dealing with an oblique injury for most of the season.

2) What result would everyone most like to see from the meeting?

Andy and Ari break down some of the possible questions and answers…

Plus, Andy and Ari discuss Wisconsin’s decision late last week to extend football coach Luke Fickell even though Fickell hasn’t been particularly successful in Madison so far. This is apparently standard procedure for Wisconsin across multiple sports, but the question is why? Why bid against yourself for a coach no one else is trying to hire when your money would be better spent buying better players?

Would fans rather have a tournament field that isn’t picked by a committee or one completely picked by a committee? Also, are conferences too big for the automatic bids to be fair?

Later, former Tennessee fullback Will Bartholomew joins to explain to the youngsters what a fullback does and to explain how he built a massive company using what he learned as a football player.

Next, Florida Atlantic basketball coach John Jakus joins Andy to talk Seinfeld Night in Del Boca Vista Phase Two, er, Boca Raton.

Big Ten and SEC athletic directors will meet this week to discuss a variety of issues, but at the forefront is how the College Football Playoff will look in 2026 and beyond.

That’s when the new CFP contract starts, and the Big Ten and SEC have more power than the other leagues combined. So what’s on their wish lists? Expansion of the tournament to 14 or 16? More automatic bids for each league? What about game sites? Will they keep later rounds in bowls or push to move them to campus?

Andy and Ari break it all down.

ESPN’s Cole Cubelic joins Andy and Ari to rip a few theoretical packs and determine which players’ cards we want to pull in the 2025 season.

Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith is a no-brainer, but what will Texas get out of Arch Manning? Is Andy being too optimistic about how much better D.J. Lagway can make Florida?

But first, the preliminary NCAA basketball tournament seeds are what the SEC wishes the football playoff bracket looked like.

(1:09:45-1:11:11) Conclusion, JD Pickell's tweet

Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne has proposed giving an automatic loss to teams whose fans rush the court or the field after a win. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, who has tried for years to stop court/field storming, isn’t ready to go that far, but he said the idea has support.

Does anything need to be done about court and field storming? And if penalties do get more severe, is reversing the result a viable solution?

Plus, Ari reveals his potential breakout teams for 2025. Florida, Illinois, Iowa State, Louisville and LSU fans will want to tune in.

Finally, our Friday Grabass segment features Ari taking a very basic high school government test. Will he pass? Judging by the conversation earlier this week when Jim Tressel was named lieutenant governor of Ohio, he might not.

Ohio State has hired its defensive coordinator, and it’s former Patriots DC and Lions head coach Matt Patricia. Patricia, a longtime Bill Belichick consigliere, must replace former DC Jim Knowles and nine starters. Can he keep the Silver Bullets dominant, or will they take a step back?

Next, Andy and Ari break down Ari’s clash with Brad from Macon on Wednesday’s edition of the Paul Finebaum Show. Brad thinks Ari is a Big Ten-loving homer who doesn’t respect the challenge of an SEC schedule. It was a battle for the ages.

Later, Andy and Ari answer viewer questions…

— What is the saucier take (Using Wendy’s sauce flavors): The Big Ten gets five teams in the playoff next year or the SEC only get three teams in again?

— Any less confidence in the Florida over 6.5 wins with Billy Napier as playcaller?

— Take one 2024 transfer player and put them back to their original team. Who would have the most impactful or be the most fun?

Tuesday’s conversation about what success looks like for LSU sparked a similar question about another program. Oregon has been on an upward trajectory since coach Dan Lanning arrived. The Ducks were the best team in the country in the regular season in 2024, but they got buzzsawed by Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.

So what does Oregon need to do to keep the momentum? Is it as simple as winning in the College Football Playoff? What is the next big step?

Later, Ari and Andy break down Ari’s list of potential 2025 breakout players. It includes Michigan QB Bryce Underwood, Texas RB C.J. Baxter and Ohio State QB Julian Sayin.

(1:09:16-1:18:08) Conclusion

A talk about LSU’s 2025 win total (8.5 at Fanduel) turns into a broader discussion about one of college football’s most interesting programs.

The Tigers have won nine, nine and eight regular-season games in Brian Kelly’s tenure. A return to nine would cash a ticket, but it probably wouldn’t satisfy most LSU fans. That group craves a return to the College Football Playoff, and Kelly came to Baton Rouge from Notre Dame with the expectation that he’d have the team competing for national titles.

Is this the year he does that? And what happens if it isn’t? The Tigers were aggressive in the transfer portal, and they return one of the nation’s best quarterbacks in Garrett Nussmeier. This feels like a pivotal season.

Later, Andy and Ari break down Andy’s list of the most impactful coordinator moves. A slow head-coaching market meant a more robust group of coordinator openings, and how some of these hires fare likely will determine how the head coach carousel looks in 10 months.

(1:17:41-1:19:50) Conclusion

The Philadelphia Eagles crushed the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, and there may not have been a better advertisement for Georgia’s football program than the Eagles’ defensive performance. We joked when Philly picked a bunch of former Georgia defenders that GM Howie Roseman was trying to create North Athens, and he got results similar to the 2021 and 2022 Georgia national championship teams that he took those players from.

Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl champ. It’s a well deserved achievement for a quarterback who had a wild college career and has been doubted pretty much every step of the way.

Later, Andy and Ari break down more 2025 preseason win totals. That 9.5 for Texas looks pretty juicy. The 9.5 for Tennessee probably requires a deeper dive. Also, 8.5 for Indiana is a nod of respect to Curt Cignetti.

Next, Andy and Ari break down Rob Ryan’s spectacular debut press conference as USC’s linebackers coach.

(1:10:41-1:11:31) Conclusion, BIG show Friday

Ohio State is now looking for coordinators on both sides of the ball after offensive coordinator Chip Kelly took a monster deal to become the Las Vegas Raiders’ OC. Can Ryan Day keep things rolling with a revamped staff?

Meanwhile, Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said he isn’t going to have a spring game because showing off the roster only allows other teams to decide who they want to poach. Is it time to scrap spring practice and implement Andy’s OTA idea?

Our first Wendy’s Dynamic Duo segment highlights the reunion of Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer and his longtime offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, who spent last season as the OC of the Seattle Seahawks but got fired last month. With DeBoer and Grubb back together, does it change the expectations for Alabama’s offense?

— The debate among fans this week has been whether Cal should be booed or cheered on Saturday night. Which should it be?

Next, Ari chimes in on the Jim Harbaugh/Connor Stalions/Bret Bielema discussion from Wednesday. He disagrees with Andy on how people feel about vacated titles.

Later, former Nebraska defensive tackle Ty Robinson joins the show to discuss his time in Lincoln and where the Cornhuskers are now under Matt Rhule.

Andy is at the Senior Bowl, but a favorite show topic has blown up again. After Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger revealed details of Michigan’s defense in the NCAA case involving the Connor Stalions-led advanced scouting operation, Illinois coach Bret Bielema hopped on X to troll former Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh. We won’t see them playing on the field anytime soon, but Bielema isn’t shy about sharing his feelings.
Next, Andy & Ari take a look at coaches on the hot seat early entering the 2025 season. Is your coach on it, or is your coach too expensive to fire? Find out here as Andy & Ari break it all down from Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl.

Penn State has swiped Ohio State’s defensive coordinator. Jim Knowles decided on Sunday to leave the Buckeyes for the Big Ten rival Nittany Lions, adding spice to a game that likely will continue to help determine who wins the Big Ten title.

What does this mean for Penn State? Where does Ohio State coach Ryan Day turn to find his next DC? And who does Oklahoma hire now that Knowles is off the board?

Andy and Ari are in Mobile, Ala., for Senior Bowl practices. They caught up with former Ole Miss and Texas A&M defensive tackle Walter Nolan to talk about a potentially huge week for the former five-star recruit. He noted how Aaron Donald boosted his draft stock in Mobile, and he plans to do the same thing.

(1:16:32-1:19:26) Conclusion; Toledo Kicker announcement

The Cowboys fired Mike McCarthy and of course Deion Sanders’ name has been thrown around for the opening. Should Colorado be worried? If Coach Prime got an NFL job, would it even be possible for him to wind up with the team that lands his son Shedeur? Or is this all a plot to drive YouTube numbers (for shows like ours; Coach Prime’s numbers are great as-is) and give the morning debate shows something to talk about?

Miami coach Mario Cristobal finally explained the second half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Monday. Had he said in his postgame press conference what he said Monday, it probably would have kept Cam Ward’s name from getting dragged for two weeks by people who don’t understand how football works.

Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are returning to Penn State, which is going to run for a lot of yards next season.

Finally, we revisit Andy’s 2024 season predictions from July to see just how badly he missed. Ari wasn’t working at On3 yet, so he’ll be spared this time. But all his 2025 predictions will be catalogued.

Can Notre Dame slow down Ohio State’s offense? Will the Fighting Irish be healthy enough on the offensive line? Can Ohio State find its scoring groove again? Will Jack Sawyer continue his epic run through the College Football Playoff?

Plus, Carson Beck has decided to transfer to Miami. Are the Hurricanes a CFP contender again? Will Beck be better or worse than his last season at Georgia? Should an experienced college quarterback who isn’t a lock to be a first-round pick ever go pro if he has eligibility remaining?

Andy and Ari finally will defend their Way, Way, Way Too Early 2025 Top 10, but first we’ve got some news to discuss.

Bill Belichick is making the rounds on the recruiting trail, as evidenced by the photos coming from various prospects around the state of North Carolina. He’s also tweeting, which might be a sign of the apocalypse.

Georgia has revamped its receiver room through the transfer portal, and one of the best quarterbacks in the FCS is headed to the Big Ten.

Next, Andy and Ari break down the Penn State-Notre Dame Orange Bowl matchup one more time with kickoff less than 48 hours away.

Now it’s time to defend the indefensible, a ranking for next season while this season is still going.

Here’s the top 10. Try to guess which team Andy regrets leaving out and which team Ari regrets leaving out.

1. Texas

2. Oregon

3. Ohio State

4. Penn State

5. Notre Dame

6. Georgia

7. South Carolina

8. Clemson

9. Florida

10. Auburn

Ari was in Pasadena, and he’ll explain.

In New Orleans, Georgia and Notre Dame will play in the Sugar Bowl. The game was postponed to 4 p.m. ET today because of a terrorist attack on Bourbon Street early Wednesday morning.

Andy and Ari will break down the game. How will Georgia’s Gunner Stockton perform in his first college start? Can Notre Dame’s defense absorb the loss of defensive tackle Rylie Mills?

Andy and Ari break down those games and get you ready for all the action.

Plus, Alabama lost to a depleted Michigan team in the Reliaquest Bowl. What’s next for the Crimson Tide? Is QB Jalen Milroe going pro or hitting the transfer portal? And what does it mean for Michigan that Sherrone Moore keeps figuring out how to win in spite of long odds?

Also, Shane Beamer versus Bret Bielema is the budding rivalry we didn’t know we needed.

It’s time for round two of the College Football Playoff. Will it be more interesting than round one? We certainly hope so.

Andy and Ari break down Tuesday’s Fiesta Bowl matchup between Penn State and Boise State. Can Nittany Lions quarterback Drew Allar power his team to the semifinals? Or will Ashton Jeanty have a huge game for the Broncos and inspire an upset?

Ari spent Monday at Rose Bowl media day talking to Oregon and Ohio State players and coaches. Oregon receiver Tez Johnson explained how the Ducks pick their uniforms, and Ohio State receivers coach Brian Hartline showed proof that he’s keeping the receipts on Andy and Ari’s playoff picks. (Which is bad news for Andy.)

Which game will surprise us? Which game will be close?

Plus, Alabama plays Michigan in the Reliaquest Bowl, Louisville plays Washington in the Sun Bowl, South Carolina plays Illinois in the Citrus Bowl and Baylor plays LSU in the Texas Bowl.

Who says the non-College Football Playoff bowls mean nothing? The Pop-Tarts Bowl captivated the entire country, and we’re still arguing about what happened in the second half?

Why did Cam Ward sit? What does it mean for Miami going forward?

Also, do you need a receiver in the transfer portal? Texas A&M doesn’t, because the Aggies grabbed Kevin Concepcion. But two Tennessee receivers hit the portal just before it closed. What does that mean for the Vols?

Plus, Andy takes Ari to task for a WILD Kalen Deboer take.

It’s time to pick the College Football quarterfinal games, but first Andy and Ari are talking non-CFP bowls.

Dylan Raiola makes his bowl debut in Saturday's Pinstripe Bowl. In fact, most of the Cornhuskers are making their bowl debuts. But Boston College has won three of four. Michael Hawkins Jr. is back at QB for Oklahoma. Can he lead the Sooners to a win against Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl?

Now it’s time to pick the next round of the CFP. Hopefully, it won’t be four blowouts like last week. But the spreads suggest we might see some.

Penn State vs. Boise State (+10.5) in the Fiesta Bowl (Total: 52.5)

Texas vs. Arizona State (+13.5) in the Peach Bowl (Total: 51.5)

Ohio State vs. Oregon (+2.5) in the Rose Bowl (Total: 55.5)

Notre Dame vs. Georgia (-1.5) in the Sugar Bowl (Total: 44.5)

On the broadcast of the Tennessee-Ohio State game, something ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit said highlighted the chasm that sometimes exists between fans and the highest profile people who talk about the games.

Herbstreit discussed the “lunatic fringe” of the Ohio State fanbase and its desire to fire coach Ryan Day. He made it sound as if a fairly small minority of fans held that sentiment. Ari doesn’t think that’s true, and it got Andy thinking about all the examples of the times the people who bring us the games on TV didn’t quite understand the feelings of the common fan.

Plus, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! We’re going to have bowl games every day, and we’ll have a full weekend of college football on Friday and Saturday. NIL deals seem to have swung bowl opt-outs back in the other direction with seemingly more stars playing this year. So which games seem the most exciting?

Friday

Oklahoma-Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl (Michael Hawkins at QB for Oklahoma)

Georgia Tech-Vanderbilt in the Birmingham Bowl

Texas Tech-Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl

Syracuse-Washington State in the Holiday Bowl

USC-Texas A&M in the Las Vegas Bowl

Saturday

UCon-North Carolina in the Fenway Bowl

Boston College-Nebraska in the Pinstripe Bowl

Louisiana-TCU in the New Mexico Bowl

Iowa State-Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl

Miami (OH)-Colorado State in the Arizona Bowl

It’s a Dear Andy and Ari show, but before we answer your questions, we’ve got to talk about some news and some College Football Playoff games.

Washington State transfer quarterback John Mateer, the No. 1 player in the portal, committed to Oklahoma. He’ll follow former Cougars offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, who just took the same job in Norman.

Next, Andy and Ari preview Saturday’s Clemson-Texas showdown in Austin.

Later, Mike Golic Jr. (Gojo and Golic) joins to talk College Football Playoffs. Golic, a former Notre Dame offensive lineman, explains what it means for the playoff to come to South Bend. Golic also will be co-hosting Bleacher Report’s pre-game show for the SMU-Penn State game, and he breaks down how Penn State’s playcalling may have to change without an experienced backup QB on the roster.

Now it’s time for your questions…

A viewer suggests a better way to set the CFP matchups…

Which non-bowl team from 2024 could be in the College Football Playoff in 2025?

Ari is tired of hearing about the weather.

Producer River, meanwhile, thinks his fellow Volunteers are preparing to invade Columbus and turn the Horseshoe (at least partially) orange.

Plus, the Branch brothers hitting the transfer portal is yet another piece of bad news for USC. Andy thinks it’s time to panic. Meanwhile, Ari has grown completely apathetic when it comes to Lincoln Riley.

The college football world was glued to Bill Belichick’s appearance on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday, and Belichick confirmed his discussions with North Carolina about the Tar Heels’ head coach vacancy. But Belichick still hasn’t been hired. So what’s happening? Will we see Bill Belichick in college football, or is this dance being done to help him land another NFL job?

Georgia confirmed on Monday that quarterback Carson Beck has an elbow injury, and no one seems optimistic that he’ll be ready to play in the Sugar Bowl against the Indiana-Notre Dame winner. Is Gunner Stockton ready to step in full-time?

Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold plans to enter the portal. So does Purdue safety Dillon Thieneman, who was the 2022 Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

Andy and Ari visit with six coaches whose programs are trending up on signing day.

Michigan’s Sherrone Moore signed the No. 1 player in America, QB Bryce Underwood.

SMU’s Rhett Lashlee’s team will play for the ACC title Saturday.

Indiana’s Curt Cignetti has his team in the College Football Playoff in year one and is trying to build on that.

South Carolina’s Shane Beamer is stacking talent atop an already loaded roster.

Florida’s Billy Napier flipped multiple blue-chippers thanks to a late-season surge.

Texas A&M’s Mike Elko is adding those extra pieces the Aggies need.

We’ll do some dramatic Warde Manuel quote reading. Plus, Andy, Ari and River will deliver their sauciest takes, because even though it’s National Signing Day, it’s still Wendy’s Sauciest Take Wednesday.

Next, Andy and Ari discuss the potential of the job openings at North Carolina, Purdue, West Virginia and UCF. These are very different jobs than they were when the last people who held them took them.

It’s a Wednesday’s saucy take Wednesday, and you’ll have to decide whether Andy, Ari or River has the sauciest take.

But first, there is news…

Ohio State center Seth McLaughlin injured his achilles tendon Tuesday at practice. This is devastating news, because McLaughlin had been the anchor of the Buckeyes’ line after transferring this offseason from Alabama. How will the injury affect Ohio State against Indiana on Saturday?

Also, Oregon is heading to the Big Ten title game. The league announced that on Tuesday afternoon because apparently no one bothered to check after Saturday’s games whether the Ducks had clinched.

Speaking of Indiana, Ari wants to know if fans without a team on the bubble really want Indiana in the College Football Playoff. Or would they rather have Tennessee, Texas A&M or another SEC school?

Plus, the CFP selection committee released its ranking Tuesday night, and Boise State is in a position to get a bye while the Big 12 champ is potentially headed for the No. 12 seed.

Now it’s time for saucy takes…

Ari thinks conference expansion has messed up everyone’s schedule…

Producer River thinks Arizona State is winning the Big 12…

Andy says Nebraska IS getting bowl eligible on Saturday.

Happy Monday! Andy and Ari are picking the games of week 13 against the spread, but first there’s some news.

Wisconsin fired offensive coordinator Phil Longo a day after the Badgers took Oregon to the wire. Does this mean Luke Fickell wants to go back to Wisconsin’s offensive roots? Or does he just want a different version of what he envisioned when he hired Longo?

Now it’s time to pick some games. Indiana-Ohio State is the headliner, which still sounds strange to say out loud. Meanwhile, Kansas-Colorado and BYU-Arizona State will shape the Big 12 title race. And that Texas A&M-Auburn line looks very, very interesting.

Indiana at Ohio State (-11.5) Total: 52.5

Ole Miss at Florida (-9.5) Total: 55.5

Colorado at Kansas (+2.5) Total: 59.5

BYU at Arizona State (-3.5) Total: 48.5

Kentucky at Texas (-20.5) Total: 46.5

Wisconsin at Nebraska (-2.5) Total: 42.5

Penn State at Minnesota (+12.5) Total: 45.5

Army vs. Notre Dame (-15.5) Total: 44.5

(1:34:06-1:34:35) Conclusion
Georgia played its best offensive game of the season, and QB Carson Beck played his best game of the season as the Bulldogs staved off College Football Playoff elimination by beating Tennessee.

That win makes the CFP bubble even more interesting. There are now six SEC teams (Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M) that could finish the season at 10-2 or better. They probably won’t all make the CFP.

Meanwhile, Oregon survived a scare at Wisconsin. The Badgers led for much of the night, but the Ducks took the lead late and hung on to win.

In other Big Ten news, Indiana signed coach Curt Cignetti to a new contract.

In the Big 12, Colorado pulled away from Utah to move to 8-2 overall and 6-1 in Big 12 play. Meanwhile, Arizona State won at Kansas State to set up a huge matchup with BYU next week.

In the ACC, SMU stayed undefeated in conference play by beating Boston College. Clemson kept its slim conference title hopes alive with a narrow win at Pittsburgh.

It’s a Dear Andy/Dear Ari episode, but first we’ve got to discuss some news.

Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava was listed as questionable on the Volunteers first availability report for the Georgia game. How much does it change the outlook for the game if Iamaleava is limited or can’t play?

Also, Florida QB D.J. Lagway was listed as questionable for the LSU game, and Missouri QB Brady Cook was listed as doubtful for the South Carolina game.

Boston College QB Thomas Castellanos said he intends to enter the transfer portal. Castellanos was benched in favor of Grayson James during last week’s win against Syracuse, and coach Bill O’Brien named James the starter for Saturday’s game against SMU.

Now it’s time to answer your questions…

How does the Big Ten TV contract actually work?

Could the race to make the SEC title game still come down to a random draw?

Could 11-1 Indiana be left out of the College Football Playoff?

Will sought-after QB recruit Julian Lewis flip to Colorado from USC? That's what On3's Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons predicted Monday night. If it happens, does it change Andy and Ari's view of Deion Sanders' recruiting philosophy?

What time is the perfect time for a good college football game? Ohio State and Penn State fans have complained for the past few years about their best games being played at noon because of Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff broadcast. Monday, Fox’s Joel Klatt took to X to defend the practice. Andy and Ari will debate the perfect time for a major game.

Dana Holgorsen isn’t just consulting at Nebraska. The former West Virginia and Houston head coach is coordinating. He’ll call the offensive plays for the Cornhuskers the rest of season, and Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said he hopes Holgorsen sticks around for next season.

A reporter asked Kentucky coach Mark Stoops if he planned to step down after the season. Stoops was not amused.

With the College Football Playoff ranking reveal coming Tuesday night, producer River asks a great CFP question: What if Notre Dame’s loss to Northern Illinois had come in week 12 instead of week two?

Happy Monday! It’s time to pick the games of week 12, and there’s a monster in Athens between Tennessee and Georgia. But first, there’s news.

Florida State fired both coordinators on Sunday, a move that likely will become familiar over the next few weeks. The Seminoles weren’t paying the $70 million or so it would cost to fire Mike Norvell, so they fired OC Alex Atkins and DC Adam Fuller. Expect this to happen a lot, because there are some prohibitive head coach buyouts and fans still want something to change.

Next, it’s time to pick these games…

UCLA at Washington (-3.5) Total: 45.5

Texas at Arkansas (+16.5) Total: 56.5

Clemson at Pittsburgh (+9.5) Total: 55.5

Utah at Colorado (-10.5) Total: 47.5

LSU at Florida (+4.5) Total: 55.5

Missouri at South Carolina (-13.5) Total: 43.5

Virginia at Notre Dame (-22.5) Total: 50.5

Tennessee at Georgia (-8.5) Total: 48.5

Nebraska at USC (-8.5) Total: 50.5

Here’s the full list…

Iowa at UCLA (+5.5) Total 44.5

Iowa State at Kansas (+3.5) Total 50.5

Miami at Georgia Tech (+11.5) Total 63.5

Florida at Texas (-21.5) Total 48.5

Coaches have been talking, and we have been listening. Ari and Andy break down several very interesting press conference nuggets on today’s show.

— Miami’s Mario Cristobal said recruits should pay attention to the trajectory the Hurricanes are on relative to the rest of the programs in the state of Florida.

— Penn State’s James Franklin said injured QB Drew Allar likely will be a game-time decision for Saturday’s matchup with Ohio State. Franklin also dropped some hints about the offense with backup QB Beau Pribula.

— Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin complained that the SEC isn’t giving the Rebels any night games at home.

Also…

— Stephen A. Smith thinks Deion Sanders needs to be hired at a higher profile program than Colorado.

— Michigan is having conversations with LSU QB commit Bryce Underwood. Is this the QB Big Cat was hinting at when he appeared on the show last week?

— Oklahoma State tailback Ollie Gordon II explained why he hasn’t shut it down even though the Cowboys are having a terrible season.

Texas A&M switched quarterbacks and changed its fortunes Saturday against LSU, and now the Aggies look like a College Football Playoff team.

Meanwhile, Penn State wasn’t looking like a CFP team at Wisconsin until quarterback Beau Primula replaced an injured Drew Allar. The Nittany Lions then rolled to a win, and now they prepare to face Ohio State.

Speaking of the Buckeyes, Andy and Ari need to have a talk about them. Are we sure they’re a national title contender? They certainly didn’t look like one while barely surviving Nebraska at home on Saturday.

First, Andy reveals his three sauciest takes of the week:

Colorado will get bowl eligible this week.

Auburn will get its first SEC win this week.

At least two undefeated teams will lose this week.

Ari will rank those takes from garlic parmesan to spicy ghost pepper.

Next, the guys talk Heisman Trophy candidate Ashton Jeanty as the Boise State tailback prepares for a huge game Friday at UNLV.

We stay incredibly saucy with a visit from Doug Lesmerises, one of the hosts of the Kings Of The North podcast. Doug thinks the SEC stinks, and he’s convinced that this is the year northern teams prove NIL and the transfer portal have shifted the balance of power away from southern teams.

Andy tries to claim BYU for the south, but Doug shuts him down.

We’ve got a major guest today: Pardon My Take’s Dan “Big Cat” Katz joins the show to give Andy and Ari some advice.

Big Cat, one half of the biggest sports podcast in the world, has been listening and is not thrilled with Ari’s take that the 12-team College Football Playoff devalues the regular season.

So he lays out in painstaking detail why Ari is wrong. He also explains to Andy that even though Andy and Ari has climbed the podcast charts, it still has a long way to go before it can challenge the king.

Big Cat also helps Andy determine the Reverse Harbaugh. What’s that? It’s the program that can say “Who’s got it worse than us? Noooooo-body.”

Meanwhile, Texas minister of culture Matthew McConaughey sent a message to Longhorns fans to stop throwing bottles — even if it does make the officials reconsider their blown call.

Elsewhere, Brent Venables named Jackson Arnold the starting QB for Saturday’s visit to Ole Miss.

Also, UConn’s Jim Mora blasted the refs in a way only a coach whose team isn’t in a conference can.

Andy and Ari break down an incredible Saturday of college football.

Georgia made sure there will be no undefeated SEC teams by beating Texas in Austin. Did Steve Sarkisian panic by pulling Quinn Ewers in the second quarter (only to bring him back in the third)?

Indiana crushed Nebraska by 49 points. Are we sure the Hoosiers aren’t a legitimate Big Ten title contender?

Tennessee beat Alabama after its offense woke up in the second half? Can this Tennessee beat anyone, or is Alabama just that down?

Plus…

Illinois whips Michigan.

USC collapses at Maryland.

Oklahoma is helpless against South Carolina.

LSU dominates Arkansas.

Miami escapes Louisville.

Army and Navy continue their march toward an epic clash.

Notre Dame started slow and then played a great second half to beat Georgia Tech.

BYU stayed undefeated Friday with an incredible comeback against Oklahoma State.

Iowa State stayed undefeated Saturday with an incredible comeback against UCF.

Colorado stayed in the Big 12 race by creaming Arizona.

Kansas State crushed West Virginia in Morgantown.

Clemson handled Virginia.

D.J. Lagway was spectacular as Florida beat Kentucky.

It’s a Wendy’s Saucy Take Wednesday, but first, we have some news and a very special guest.

The rules loophole Oregon coach Dan Lanning used to drain time off the clock against Ohio State is getting closed. The NCAA’s coordinator of officials said Tuesday that officials will get the latitude to put time back on the clock if a defense intentionally uses too many players in order to draw a flag.

Next, Indiana coach Curt Cignetti joins the show to discuss how he turned the Hoosiers into a 6-0 team that has yet to even trail in a game this season. Indiana plays Nebraska on Saturday in its toughest game yet. Cignetti explains what kind of players he looked for in the transfer portal when he took the job (because Indiana’s best remaining players hit the portal immediately). He also warns against putting artificial limitations on a program.

Next, it’s time for saucy takes.

Ari is in the kitchen this week, and Andy will judge which take is the sauciest from takes on the following three topics:

Oregon coach Dan Lanning

The Big Ten and the SEC in the CFP

What we learned in the fallout from the Oregon-Ohio State game

(1:13:54-1:14:30) Conclusion; See you tomorrow!

We’ve got to talk about the genius of Oregon’s Dan Lanning and the split personalities of Kentucky, but first we’ll hit some news.

Utah quarterback Cam Rising is out for the season after suffering a leg injury against Arizona State. Utes coach Kyle Whittingham was noncommittal about an eighth season for Rising.

Also, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy got head-butted by a cow.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said officials should have flagged Georgia coach Kirby Smart for bumping Mississippi State’s quarterback on the sideline.

Next, Nick Roush of On3’s Kentucky Sports Radio joins to discuss one of the weirdest teams in college football. Kentucky has won at Ole Miss and pushed Georgia to the brink. Kentucky also has gotten smashed by South Carolina and lost to Vanderbilt at home. Mark Stoops says he’s fed up. So which team shows up when the Wildcats play at Florida this weekend?

Later, Andy and Ari discuss Oregon coach Lanning’s admission that he purposely put 12 players on the field late in the game against Ohio State in order to drain seconds off the clock. Former Philadelphia Eagles coach Buddy Ryan also exploited this loophole in the 90s.

Finally, Andy and Ari review the fried food they ate at the State Fair of Texas.

Andy and Ari watched Texas destroy Oklahoma on Saturday, but the better games were elsewhere. The big one was in Eugene, where Dan Lanning notched his biggest win as Oregon's head coach as the Ducks beat Ohio State 32-31 to take command in the Big Ten race. But Penn State also remained undefeated after beating USC in overtime.

Andy and Ari also break down...

Ole Miss at LSU

Florida losing to Tennessee in overtime after blowing multiple opportunities to score.

Iowa State remaining undefeated by winning at West Virginia

BYU hammering Arizona to stay undefeated

Alabama barely surviving South Carolina

Vanderbilt winning again -- this time at Kentucky

And much more!

Multiple players left their teams Monday to take redshirts this year — including Alabama defensive tackle Jeheim Oatis and Iowa tailback Leshon Williams — and it’s time to have a talk about why that’s not always the best business decision. Andy and Ari break down Andy’s column on when to make that decision and when to keep playing.

A federal judge has preliminarily approved the House v. NCAA settlement. If it goes through, it will allow schools to pay players directly starting next year.

Ari has angered the entire Oklahoma fanbase. What did he say to make the Sooners so mad?

Speaking of the Red River Shootout, Steve Sarkisian has handled his quarterback situation about as well as possible. Does he understand something other coaches don’t, or is he blessed with a unique set of circumstances? Meanwhile, on the other side of the rivalry, Brent Venables has handled a different kind of QB situation just as decisively.

It’s a Dear Andy and Ari episode, but first, we’ve got some big recruiting news to talk about.

Class of 2025 QB Deuce Knight flipped on Wednesday from Notre Dame to Auburn. This wasn’t a huge surprise, but it produces some interesting discussions.

Does Hugh Freeze have to get a QB out of the portal now that he has the No. 7 QB recruit in the country in the class? Would 2024 freshman Walker White or Knight be able to be QB1 next year?

Does this mean the C.J. Carr era begins at Notre Dame in 2025? Or will the Fighting Irish get a starting QB out of the portal for the third consecutive season?

Now it’s time for your questions…

Will the Big Ten and SEC be shut out of the Heisman Trophy ceremony?

What happens if Army and Navy finish atop the American Athletic Conference standings?

Is South Carolina’s schedule so hard that the Gamecocks could go 9-3 and be considered for the College Football Playoff?

Andy and Ari have questions for coaches across the country, but first, they’ve got to break down some news.

ESPN reported Monday that the Big Ten and SEC will be seeking more automatic bids in the next version of the College Football Playoff, which begins after the 2026 season.

Also, Florida State QB DJ Uiagalelei was listed as a co-starter with Brock Glenn on the depth chart for this week’s Clemson game, but reports emerged Monday night that Uiagalelei has a broken finger on his throwing hand is expected to miss several weeks.

Now it’s time for questions. Andy and Ari heard some strange questions asked of Hugh Freeze and Kirby Smart after their games on Saturday, so they decided to ask better questions of…

Freeze

Smart

Sherrone Moore

Lincoln Riley

Dabo Swinney

Mike Elko

Later, East Tennessee State coach Tre Lamb joins the show to discuss his team’s harrowing journey through a flood to reach Charleston for Saturday’s game against The Citadel. At one point Friday, the Buccaneers were stranded on their buses in North Carolina and were warned they might not get to leave until Tuesday.

(1:14:48-1:15:45) Conclusion; See you Saturday night!

It’s a Dear Andy and Ari episode, but first we’ve got to talk about another player taking a redshirt rather than finishing the season with his current team. This time it's USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander, who decided to leave the team after playing only 21 snaps in last week's loss at Michigan.

Plus, Andy and Ari examine the fallout from UNLV QB Matthew Sluka leaving the team over an NIL dispute. We’ve now heard multiple sides of the story. Does that change Andy or Ari’s opinion on the matter?

Meanwhile, Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy is exploring the idea of funding Michigan’s quarterback signee each year. (He may be kidding, but this is the sort of thing Portnoy would actually do.) What school’s QB recruiting efforts could Andy and Ari On3 reasonably fund?

The guys also pick the Kentucky-Ole Miss game and the Minnesota-Michigan game against the spread.

Plus, it’s a Prizepicks Preview of the Virginia Tech-Miami game.

Next, it’s time for your questions…

Who was the last active coach to beat Georgia?

If only five of Tennessee, Georgia, Bama, Ole Miss, Texas, LSU and Notre Dame can make the College Football Playoff, which ones will it be?

How did Ari manage to formulate THAT food take?

(57:48-1:00:30) Ranking the Saucy Takes
(1:00:31-1:04:42) Conclusion

But first, we’ve got to talk about a crazy story.

UNLV QB Matthew Sluka announced late Tuesday night that he's leaving the Rebels. The Holy Cross transfer claims certain promises were unfulfilled, so he's going to redshirt and transfer somewhere else for next year. We don't yet know both sides of this story, but be sure this won't be the last time this happens.

The Pac-12 sued the Mountain West in federal court on Tuesday claiming the “poaching fee” included in the leagues’ scheduling agreement violates antitrust law. The fees would cost the league $55 million since it has already poached five Mountain West schools.

Next, Andy and Ari pick the Kentucky-Ole Miss (-17.5) and Minnesota-Michigan (-9.5).

Now it’s time for Andy’s blazing takes…

Installing Michael Hawkins Jr. as QB1 will be the defining moment of Brent Venables’ Oklahoma tenure…

Jalen Milroe will have his Heisman moment against Georgia

People will throw their remotes at their TVs and then sign up for Peacock as the Louisville-Notre Dame game goes down to the wire.

Speaking of The Money Game, Reggie Bush has sued the NCAA, USC and the Pac-12 in an attempt to recoup damages after being denied the right to make money off his name while in college.

Meanwhile, Auburn coach Hugh Freeze keeps saying the wrong things. This time, it’s his assertion that if Auburn and Arkansas played nine more times, Auburn would win nine times. Ari went off on Freeze throwing his quarterbacks under the bus after the Arkansas game. This new statement might set him off more.

There’s also a good, old-fashioned western standoff between two west coast conferences. The Pac-12 grabbed Utah State from the Mountain West, leaving both leagues at seven. Both need to be at eight to be eligible for NCAA basketball tournament shares, so the race is on. Memphis, USF, Tulane and UTSA all said Monday that they intend to stay in the American Athletic Conference.

Next, it’s your Georgia-Alabama preview presented by Prizepicks. Andy and Ari study the Prizepicks squares to decide which will best determine the outcome of the game.

Then it’s time to talk quarterback strategy. Andy wrote a column on Monday suggesting coaches may need to rethink how they handle their QB room management when they have a highly touted youngster and a proven veteran with only one more year of eligibility. Do they need to start paying up to keep the old guy?

(1:04:33-1:05:05) Conclusion; See you tomorrow!

Andy and Ari are in their first fight since Ari joined the company. After hearing Mark Stoops’ explanation for punting from the Georgia 48-yard line late in Kentucky’s 13-12 loss, Ari is even madder about the decision. Andy, however, has re-examined his initial thoughts through the lens of analytics and now finds himself on Team Stoops.

Meanwhile, Michigan coach Sherrone Moore is doing the thing Andy said on Monday’s show that he had to do. The Wolverines will start Alex Orji at quarterback, meaning Michigan will be run-heavy against USC. This is Michigan’s only chance to compete with the better opponents on its schedule. That doesn’t mean it’s going to work, though.

Later, the guys discuss Tennessee coach Josh Heupel’s return to Oklahoma. Andy has a question: Did getting fired at Oklahoma have to happen to make Heupel the coach he is today?

It’s a Dear Andy show, but first we’ve got to talk about more conference realignment.

The Pac-12 is adding Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State. What does that mean for the rest of the Mountain West? And does it mean other movement is coming on the other side of the country.

Also, the SEC availability reports dropped Wednesday night. The Texas A&M-Florida one had one interesting name and one name that did not appear.

Now it’s time to answer your questions…

Who is college football’s Darth Vader?

Who wins more national titles over the next five years? Kirby Smart, Ryan Day, Kalen DeBoer or the field?

It’s a Dear Andy and Ari show! But before we get to your questions, Andy and Ari preview the clash between Texas and Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Can Quinn Ewers and a deep corps of receivers score repeatedly on Will Johnson and Michigan’s talented defense? How will Michigan QB Davis Warren look in start No. 2?

Next, it’s time for your questions…

After Michigan’s win against Alabama in the Rose Bowl and USC’s win against LSU on Sunday, is the Big Ten on the verge of catching up to the SEC?

If former Duke QB Riley Leonard had followed former Duke coach Mike Elko to Texas A&M instead of going to Notre Dame, would it have changed the result of last Saturday’s Notre Dame-Texas A&M game?

Is Miller Moss an upgrade at QB for USC?

Has Florida State's transfer portal strategy BACKFIRED? | Live from a rural central Florida basement Sep 03, 2024

Andy and Ari still haven’t found @321Nole — who promised to eat a certain thing on the Internet if Florida State lost to Boston College — but that doesn’t mean they’ll stop trying.

In the meantime, they’ll break down what Seminoles coach Mike Norvell said after his team fell to 0-2 in ACC play after week one, which just seems impossible.

Ari explains why living in the transfer portal still doesn’t beat stocking a program with elite high school recruits.

Plus, Andy relocates to his rural central Florida basement to discuss the disastrous Billy Napier press conference he attended Monday. (Which didn’t seem so disastrous in person.)

Florida may have to start freshman QB D.J. Lagway on Saturday, and Lagway may be Napier’s last chance to save his job.

Colorado receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter was spectacular, catching seven passes for 132 yards and three touchdowns while also playing most of the defensive snaps.

Shedeur Sanders completed 24 of 26 passes for 445 yards with four TDs and one of the weirdest INTs you’ll ever see.

But he wound up in a duel with Cam Miller, who threw for 277 yards and a touchdown and ran for 81 yards and two touchdowns.

Colorado only averaged 2.6 yards per rush but 13.1 yards per pass.

They allowed 11.2 yards per attempt

We’re less than 36 hours away from week one games, and the pressure is starting to mount.

Andy explains why Saturday’s Miami-Florida matchup in Gainesville is a must-win for Billy Napier and Mario Cristobal — and that’s highly inconvenient since only one can win.

Later, On3’s Kaiden Smith joins for a thorough preview of the Group of 5 conferences, which will be fighting for at least one College Football Playoff berth.

Which is the deepest? Will Boise State, Appalachian State or Memphis make the bracket? Or could a more surprising team like USF or UTSA make a move? And what about Liberty, which made a New Year’s Six bowl last season.

Kaiden breaks them all down.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS BACK! Georgia Tech’s Aidan Birr hit a field goal as time expired to give Georgia Tech a 24-21 win in the first game of the college football season.

Georgia Tech’s offensive line handled Florida State’s defensive line, and QB Haynes King was cool under pressure.

Meanwhile, Florida State will have to figure out how to threaten teams deep if it hopes to have a chance to repeat as ACC champ.

A coach accuses Alabama of STEALING a kicker | Iowa's Kirk Ferentz explains his suspension Aug 23, 2024

This show is presented by Wendy’s!

You’ve had Wendy’s Nuggs dipped in sauce. But have you had them covered in sauce?

Wendy’s New Saucy Nuggs take the Crispy and Spicy Nuggs you love and turn them up to 11.

Choose between flavors like Buffalo. Honey BBQ. Garlic Parm. Or, if you’re a real heat seeker,

try Spicy Ghost Pepper, only on Wendy’s signature Spicy Nuggs. We dare you.

We’re one day away from actual football, and the news is flying like crazy.

Miami (Ohio) coach Chuck Martin accused Alabama of illegally recruiting Redhawks kicker, saying the Crimson Tide “stole” Graham Nicholson in the spring transfer portal window.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz explained why he’s suspended for the Hawkeyes’ season opener against Illinois State.

A former Colorado assistant detailed how he went to Saudi Arabia to seek money from the nation’s Public Investment Fund — the entity that funds the LIV Tour in golf — to seek NIL donations. It didn’t work, and the assistant resigned earlier this month.

Later, Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy joins Andy to discuss the sheer depth of talent in college football this season. Because of the COVID year and NIL, more players have stayed in school longer. That has created a surplus of NFL-quality players.

Nagy turns his scout’s eye on:

Penn State QB Drew Allar

Georgia WR Dillon Bell

Florida State DT Darrell Jackson Jr.

And more…

The SEC has finally released the tiebreakers for determining who gets into the conference title game in the new, 16-team, divisionless league. Yes, it could get very messy. It also could ultimately come down to a drawing of the tied teams. Andy breaks down everything between “head to head” and “rock, paper, scissors.”

Nebraska coach Matt Rhule has named freshman Dylan Raiola his starting quarterback. The hype train is going to be zooming down the track in Lincoln.

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin offered his thoughts on full-calorie soda at the expense of a sponsor, and LSU coach Brian Kelly showed how the selling-stuff game is played.

Now it’s time for Dear Andy, where your questions drive the show…

Has Tennessee coach Josh Heupel ascended to a new level of recruiter?

Which QB is under more pressure — Penn State’s Drew Allar or Clemson’s Cade Klubnik?

What constitutes success for Miami this season?

Next, Tyler Horka of On3’s BlueAndGold.com joins to discuss Notre Dame as the Fighting Irish prepare to open their season at Texas A&M. How will the Irish adjust to losing left tackle Charles Jagusah for the season? How much better can the receiving corps be? How deep is the defense?

Later, Ben Garrett of On3’s OM Spirit drops by to talk about who has made the best impression during Ole Miss preseason practice. We know all about Walter Nolen, but could a player who transferred before last season (but only played in the bowl game) have just as big an impact on the Rebels’ defense?

Will Howard CHOSEN as Ohio State's QB1 | Arkansas DC T-Will is the freshest MC in the coaching game Aug 16, 2024

The scarlet smoke you saw coming out of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center means Ohio State has a new starting quarterback. Coach Ryan Day officially — but not surprisingly — named Will Howard the Buckeyes’ starter on Thursday.

(1:06:36-1:13:33) Iowa TE Luke Lachey joins

(1:13:34-1:17:06) Conclusion, J.D. PicKell and JP Pickles?

Meanwhile, there’s a little more detail in the Jaden Rashada-Billy Napier lawsuit. And as if on cue, Thursday also brought bad news for the company run by the Miami booster who was bankrolling the deal Rashada was supposed to get at that school.

Auburn’s director of football equipment explained how the new in-helmet communication system will work.

Arkansas defensive coordinator Travis Williams joins the show to discuss his freestyle rap that went viral and earned him praise from Snoop Dogg and, more importantly, made him more beloved by his players. T-Will also explains what "Embrace the Hog" actually means.

Later, Tennessee center Cooper Mays and defensive tackle Omari Thomas explain why the Volunteers are better on both lines of scrimmage than they’ve been in a long time.

Also, Iowa linebacker Jay Higgins and tight end Luke Lachey join to explain why the Hawkeyes could be a sneaky College Football Playoff contender.

On3’s 2024 College Football Fantasy QB Draft Aug 14, 2024

Last year’s On3 Quarterback Fantasy Draft was so easy. Whoever won the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors would to take USC’s Caleb Williams, and we’d be off to the races. And that’s exactly what happened. Jesse Simonton’s paper beat Andy’s rock, and Jesse grabbed the defending Heisman Trophy winner.

This year? We struggled to make our first choices.

(0:00-1:20) Intro

(1:21-4:08) Jesse Simonton joins, recap last year's choices

(4:09-5:38) Alabama QB Jalen Milroe

(5:39-7:26) Liberty QB Kaidon Salter

(7:27-8:48) Rhoback Ad

(8:49-11:00) Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel

(11:01-14:13) Miami QB Cam Ward

(14:14-16:07) Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart

(16:08-17:29) USF QB Byrum Brown

(17:30-21:03) Kansas State QB Avery Johnson

(21:04-23:34) Georgia QB Carson Beck

(23:35-25:14) Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders

(25:15-29:49) Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava

(29:50-32:34) Arizona QB Noah Fifita

(32:35-36:23) Ohio State QB Will Howard

(36:24-38:27) LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier

(38:28-39:59) Texas State QB Jordan McCloud

(40:00-42:09) Texas QB Quinn Ewers

(42:10-43:59) West Virginia QB Garrett Greene

(44:00-46:11) Missouri QB Brady Cook

(46:12-48:05) Kansas QB Jalon Daniels

(48:06-51:09) Memphis QB Seth Henigan

(51:10-51:59) Oklahoma QB Jackson Arnold

(52:00-1:00:35) QB's Not Taken

(1:00:36-1:02:03) Conclusion

But if last year’s QB draft taught us anything, it’s that the picks in the back half of the draft will determine the winner. Andy wiped the floor with Jesse last year mostly because of two players: No. 5 pick Jayden Daniels and No. 9 pick Dillon Gabriel. They were the two most productive players using this scoring system.

Passing touchdown: Six points

Every 25 yards passing: One point

Rushing touchdown: Six points

Every 10 yards rushing: One point

Interception thrown: Minus-2 points

Fumble lost: Minus-2 points

Pick-six thrown: Minus-6 points

The scoring system rewards the dual threat QBs who can score on the ground, and we definitely took that into account making our selections this year. Unlike last year, nothing was obvious. And we won’t find out until the games begin whether we used the correct drafting strategy or we overthought the whole thing

The Associated Press poll is WRONG! | Preseason camp intel from Alabama and Nebraska Aug 13, 2024

The Associated Press poll is out, and of course it will not accurately predict the final rankings for the season — or the final College Football Playoff rankings. But if it did, we’d be getting Penn State at Alabama in round one and Michigan at Texas three months after Texas played at Michigan.

Yeah, we’d take that.

(0:00-0:28) Intro

(0:28-21:11) College Football Playoff based on AP Poll's History

(21:12-43:26) Tim Watts from Bama Online joins to provide the latest on the Crimson Tide

(43:27-46:46) Furthering the CFP Discussion

(46:47-1:11:26) Sean Callahan joins to dive deeper into the Nebraska Cornhuskers

(1:11:27-1:13:40) Conclusion; QB Draft Tomorrow, Dear Andy Thursday!

Next, Tim Watts of On3’s Bama Online joins Andy to discuss what a Kalen DeBoer offense built around Jalen Milroe might look like. Tim and Andy also talk about how sneaky difficult Alabama’s schedule is and why Tim thinks the Crimson Tide will lose two regular-season games.

Later, Sean Callahan of On3’s HuskerOnline joins the show to talk about how Matt Rhule is handling the likelihood of freshman Dylan Raiola starting at QB. Sean provides an update on Nebraska’s banged-up offensive line as camp progresses, and he explains why the Cornhuskers’ defense should remain salty.

We’ve got a weird Deion Sanders press conference and scrimmage intel from Georgia and Ohio State, but first some news.

(0:00-2:14) Intro: Previewing the show

(2:15-4:58) Texas A&M RB Rueben Owens out for the season

(4:59-8:16) Iowa's QB Status

(8:17-10:06) AD

(10:07-32:31) Deion Sanders Celebrates Media Day

(32:32-57:10) Deep Dive into Georgia's Fall Camp

(57:11-1:17:20) Spencer Holbrook joins to update us on Ohio State

(1:17:21-1:18:22) Conclusion, see you tomorrow!

Bad news out of College Station. Texas A&M tailback Rueben Owens will miss the entire 2024 season after suffering an injury during the weekend. Meanwhile, there might be a quarterback controversy at Iowa. Northwestern transfer Brendan Sullivan might challenge Cade McNamara for the starting job.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders held a bizarre press conference Friday that included shutting out the local CBS affiliate for, um, reasons and a random question about Aflac that felt like a plant. Sanders doesn’t sound ultra confident after a week of practice, but Andy explains why he wants unhinged press conferences the rest of the way from Coach Prime.

Next, Jake Rowe of On3’s Dawgs HQ talks Georgia following the first major scrimmage of the preseason. How is the receiver depth after the dismissal of RaRa Thomas? Which tight end(s) will wind up getting the touches that used to go to Brock Bowers?

Later, Spencer Holbrook of On3’s Lettermen Row talks Ohio State after the Buckeyes’ first major preseason scrimmage. Kansas State transfer Will Howard looks like he’s got a grip on QB1. Meanwhile, Ryan Day keeps demurring when asked about freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith. That’s OK, because everyone else is talking about the former No. 1 overall recruit.

The NCAA throws Darts Only at Jim Harbaugh | Which non-QBs could win the Heisman?? Aug 08, 2024

The NCAA has dropped the hammer on Jim Harbaugh. Not that he cares, because he’s coaching in the NFL now. But the saga of Harbaugh never fails to make everyone mad.

(0:00-15:33) Intro - Jim Harbaugh Show Cause

(15:34-21:46) Darts Only 🎯

(21:47-23:27) Illinois' Clean Uniforms

(58:03-1:01:32) Full Naming Rights?

(1:01:33-1:01:50) Conclusion

This four-year show cause with accompanying one-year suspension stems from the Cheeseburgergate case, not the Connor Stalions case. That one remains ongoing. Does Harbaugh care? Probably not. Does anyone at Michigan care? Probably not anymore. Are Ohio State fans still mad? You betcha.

Andy also examines the Darts Only phenomenon that has taken over the college football Internet after Colorado’s official Twitter account posted an oddly edited throw. What followed was hilarious, and the videos are still coming.

Next, it’s time for Dear Andy, and you have some great questions. Among them…

What are the championship game tiebreakers in conferences that have eliminated divisions this year?

Are there any non-quarterbacks who can win the Heisman this year?

Are Texas and Florida State not really back?

Pitbull has bought the naming rights to FIU, and Andy has a LOT of ideas about which musicians need to pony up next.

On3’s Pete Nakos joins Andy to discuss what Mr. 305’s deal means in the grand scheme and how different the reaction to this is from the reaction to Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork’s recent comments that selling the naming rights to Ohio Stadium are on the table.

Next, it’s part two of Stanford Steve Coughlin’s visit. The ESPN College GameDay star joins Andy to talk more season win totals.

The big question: Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss and Missouri are all at 9.5. It’s essentially asking which of those teams you’re betting on to make the College Football Playoff. Which will Andy and Steve pick?

Win totals with College GameDay’s Stanford Steve! Can Notre Dame top 10.5? Will USC top 7.5? Aug 06, 2024

“Stanford Steve” Coughlin of ESPN’s College GameDay joins Andy to talk win totals. But first, we’ve got a preseason poll!

The first coaches poll is out. Georgia is No. 1, Ohio State is No. 2, and everyone disagrees with pretty much every other team’s placement. Now seems like a good time for Andy’s annual rant about why we have preseason polls and why they’re never going away.

Monday also brought bad news out of South Bend. Notre Dame left tackle Charles Jagusah tore his right pec muscle at practice during the weekend and will have to miss the season. That’s a massive blow, because the Fighting Irish had chosen Jagusah to replace first-round draft pick Joe Alt, and the redshirt freshman seemed on the verge of a breakout season.

Next, it’s time for win totals with Stanford Steve. We had so many to talk about that we broke the conversation into two parts. (Part two will be on Wednesday’s show.) Today, Andy and Steve discuss…

Notre Dame (10.5 wins)

Miami (9.5 wins)

Florida (4.5 wins)

Indiana (5.5 wins)

USC (7.5 wins)

Oklahoma (7.5 wins)

We wrap up with what the College Football Playoff would look like if it was reflective to the Pre-Season Coaches Poll

Michigan coach Sherrone Moore is implicated along with Jim Harbaugh and several since-departed assistants. What does that mean for Moore and the Wolverines?

Michigan also will be playing football this season, so Andy and Clayton discuss who might play quarterback and what the offensive line might look like following a lot of talent leaving for the NFL.

Next, Zach Abolverdi of On3’s Gators Online discusses the knee injury to Florida starting tailback Montrell Johnson. Johnson has had arthroscopic surgery and should return this season. The question is how early? Will he miss the opener?

Also, how much of a role will freshman QB D.J. Lagway play for Florida?

Later, Derek Young of On3’s K-State Online talks the Kansas State offense with sophomore QB Avery Johnson at the helm. Who will the playmayers be? And just how talented is the defense playing opposite Johnson and company?

Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava spoke ahead of camp opening, and Andy breaks down the utterances of a QB that has been generating buzz since before he committed. Now, Nico is QB1 and headed into his first season as a starter.

UCLA coach DeShaun Foster froze during his opening statement at Big Ten media days, and he’s now turned the best line of that opening statement into a T-shirt that doubles as a recruiting tool.

TCU has added two former head coaches to its staff.

Now it’s time for Dear Andy, and you have some great questions.

What second-year transfer quarterback might make a Joe Burrow-Jayden Daniels leap?

What would Kalen DeBoer have done if Washington had won the national title?

What happens if Iowa’s offense is… average to above-average?

Out of a group that includes Freeze, Colorado’s Deion Sanders, Nebraska’s Matt Rhule and Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell, who is poised for the biggest jump from year one to year two?

Later, Northwestern coach David Braun — another second-year head coach — joins Andy to discuss how his team came together last year under bizarre circumstances and how he has worked to explain to his players that this is a new season with a new set of challenges.

And there may be even more fallout from the Connor Stalions case — but this time not at Michigan.

One of those who may surprise is Mississippi State’s Jeff Lebby, who had to flip the Bulldogs’ roster. Andy discusses that flip and with Lebby. Plus, Andy talks to new Bulldogs quarterback Blake Shapen.

Also, Andy talks to two very interesting Minnesota Golden Gophers. Quarterback Max Brosmer spent five years at New Hampshire, but he’ll spend his final season in the Big Ten. Meanwhile, tailback Darius Taylor looks poised to have a breakout year after averaging 133 rushing yards a game in an injury-shortened freshman season.

Nebraska AD Troy Dannen has SEEN IT ALL in the past year | Wisconsin OT Jack Nelson revs up for 2024 Jul 29, 2024

We start with a visit from On3’s Pete Nakos to help translate the House v. NCAA settlement — which was submitted late last week to a federal court for review — into plain English. The NCAA and schools are trying to restrict NIL deals, but will that get approved by the judge? And even if it does, would it survive legal challenges down the road?

(0:00-3:21) Intro - Georgia receiver arrested

(3:21 -5:09) Previewing the show

(5:10-5:46) Pete Nakos joins

(5:47-19:51) House Settlement Update

(26:33-42:34) Nebraska AD Troy Dannen Joins

(42:35-50:18) Big Ten Discussion

(50:20-57:32) Wisconsin OL Jack Nelson joins

(57:33-1:00:46) Conclusion

Andy and Pete will try to figure out how college sports will actually work in a post-House settlement world.

Next, Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen joins the show to talk about all the recent changes in college sports — and he has an incredibly unique perspective. This time last year, Dannen was Tulane’s AD. Soon after, he was hired by Washington. While there, he worked on the Huskies’ transition to the Big Ten and had to replace a football coach when Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama. Then Trev Alberts left Nebraska for the Texas A&M AD job and Dannen was hired at Nebraska. Now he’s working on a 17-item action agenda handed to him by football coach Matt Rhule.

Later, Andy talks to Wisconsin’s Jack Nelson, who is living a childhood dream as the Badgers’ left tackle. Nelson also knows how to bring a dead engine back to life. Plus, Andy asks if Wisconsin OC Phil Longo has ever quoted Bruce Lee during a meeting.

Donovan Edwards and Michigan are ready to RUN IT BACK | Washington coach Jedd Fisch Jul 26, 2024

(0:00-0:40) Intro

(0:41-5:37) Michigan at Big Ten Media Days

(5:38-19:19) Donovan Edwards at Big Ten Media Days

(19:20-27:06) Dan Lannign at Big Ten Media Days

(27:07-34:06) Oregon LB Jeffrey Bassa joins the show

(34:07-50:19) Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch Joins

(50:20-57:52) Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti Joins

(57:53-58:37) Conclusion - See you next week!

With all the talk about Ohio State’s offseason roster moves and Oregon’s entry into the Big Ten, it’s easy to forget that the Big Ten also is home to the defending national champs. Michigan visited Big Ten Media Days on Thursday and offered a reminder that while the Wolverines lost a lot of great players to the NFL, the cupboard isn’t bare.

One potential breakout star is Donovan Edwards, who struggled through a disappointing 2023 season before exploding for 104 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries in the national title game win against Washington.

Edwards talked Thursday about how he got through last season and how much he’s grown ahead of this season.

Next, Andy breaks down Oregon coach Dan Lanning’s discussion of recruiting. Oregon has a big NIL war chest, but not an unlimited one. But does it bother Lanning that his recruiting success is credited to NIL deals when recruiting wins at Georgia or Ohio State are credited differently?

After that, Oregon linebacker Jeffrey Bassa discusses the huge expectations for the Ducks.

Then we look at the other side of the Oregon-Washington rivalry as new Huskies coach Jedd Fisch joins Andy to talk about rebuilding a team that won’t look anything like the one that played for a national title.

Andy is then joined by another first-year coach — Indiana’s Curt Cignetti. Cignetti won big at James Madison, and he’s loaded the Hoosiers’ roster with veteran transfers who played well at the Group of 5 level. Will that method produce a quick start at a place not known for winning football?

James Franklin has 2 NEW coordinators and 8 more chances at the CFP | UCLA coach Deshaun Foster Jul 25, 2024

Everyone had a interesting story at Big Ten media days on Wednesday, so we’ll whip around the league.

(0:00-3:21) Intro

(3:22-12:15) James Franklin Joins

(12:16-18:00) Deshaun Foster's Opening Statement

(18:01-24:20) Deshaun Foster Interview

(35:56-37:15) Nebraska Discussion

(37:16-43:07) Huskers Center Ben Scott Joins

(43:08-50:54) Nebraska's Ty Robinson Joins

(50:55-1:13:59) John Canzano joins

(1:14:00-1:15:27) Conclusion

Penn State coach James Franklin joins the show to discuss how new coordinators Andy Kotelnicki (offense) and Tom Allen (defense) will blend what they’ve done in the past with what Penn State players have done. Franklin also weighs in a classic Pennsylvania debate: Sheetz or Wawa?

New UCLA coach DeShaun Foster’s opening statement got panned by the Internet, but the Internet should have listened to how Foster answered the questions he got about taking over the Bruins under less-than-ideal circumstances. Foster joined Andy to talk about replacing Chip Kelly and about how he reshaping UCLA’s recruiting operation.

Next, Andy breaks down some of USC coach Lincoln Riley’s answers at media days. Riley says USC is still playing catch-up, which probably isn’t satisfying to hear as year three begins. But if Riley is right about the defense getting better under new coordinator D’Anton Lynn, then there should be reason for excitement.

Later, Andy talks to Nebraska center Ben Scott and defensive tackle Ty Robinson about being huge.

Finally, Andy sits down with John Canzano (JohnCanzano.com (http://JohnCanzano.com)) to break down how the Big Ten became this new version of itself.

It's National Title or BUST for Ohio State, Ryan Day | Can Lincoln Riley & USC adjust to the Big 10? Jul 24, 2024

Ohio State was the main attraction on the first day of Big Ten media days, and the Buckeyes weren’t shying away from massive expectations or questions about their losing streak to Michigan.

(0:00-1:18) Intro

(1:19-6:38) An Update on the Jaden Rashada Suing Billy Napier Case

(6:39-8:51) Spencer Holbrook from Lettermen Row Joins

(8:52-14:02) Ryan Day chats with the guys from Lettermen Row

(14:03-34:19) Continuing the Ohio State Discussion with Spencer

(34:20-54:01) Geoff Schwartz Joins to talk USC, Oregon

(54:02-1:00:27) Discussion on Washington Iowa

(1:00:28-1:02:43) Conclusion - Bret Bielema's Tattoo

First, Spencer Holbrook and Andy Backstrom of On3’s Lettermen Row talk to Day about the start of camp and the difficulty in choosing representatives from a team that could have a dozen captains.

Next, Spencer joins Andy (Staples) to discuss the expectations surrounding Ohio State. Spencer also talks about the new dynamics as Day cedes offensive control to new coordinator Chip Kelly. Plus, how long will it be before Kansas State transfer Will Howard is named QB1?

Later, Geoff Schwartz of SiriusXM joins Andy to discuss the new Big Ten. Geoff played at Oregon and is still getting used to being a Big Ten legend, but he has a lot of thoughts about Ohio State and its quest for a title and about why USC has not lived up to some lofty expectations in the early part of the Lincoln Riley era. Can the Trojans make a splash in year one in the Big Ten?

Finally, Illinois coach Bret Bielema talks about his Iowa tattoo, because no Big Ten media days would be complete without the story.

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips vows to FIGHT FSU and Clemson | WE’RE GETTING A CONNOR STALIONS DOC! Jul 23, 2024

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips vowed on Monday that the conference will fight Florida State and Clemson as the league’s two best football-playing schools try to get out of the conference. This is as forceful as we’ve ever heard Phillips, but is it all bluster?

Kentucky’s offense has been trying to recapture the magic of 2021 for two seasons without much success, but the Wildcats have high hopes with a new transfer quarterback (Brock Vandagriff from Georgia) and a new coordinator (Bush Hamdan from Boise State).

Hamdan joins the show to discuss how he made his way from Kuwait City to college football fields across America. Hamdan also explains his role in suggesting one of the most iconic plays in college football history. He also talks about the development of Vandagriff and Kentucky’s 2024 offense.

Former Georgia tailback Todd Gurley also joins the show. Gurley discusses what it’s been like watching Georgia’s rise. He also explains how the 2012 SEC Championship Game taught him that he’d definitely make it in the NFL. Gurley also explains how happy he is for players who can now make NIL money, and he looks back on how strange it was that he once got suspended four games for signing autographs.

Kentucky’s Deone Walker will WRECK your offense | Can Mike Elko turn around Texas A&M RIGHT NOW? Jul 19, 2024

Kentucky defensive lineman Deone Walker is one of the most intriguing players in college football. He stands 6-foot-8, weighs 345 pounds and can dominate centers and guards but also is quick enough to rush off the edge against tackles.

(1:01:04-1:02:05) Conclusion, Wrapping up

He joins the show to discuss a dicy few hours on the final day of last season, his offseason work to bend better and his excitement for the Wildcats this season.

Next, Andy talks to Kentucky Sports Radio’s Nick Roush about the Wildcats’ chances to make noise in the SEC this season. Did coach Mark Stoops’ flirtation with the Texas A&M job alter the expectations this season? Also, Nick believes this team looks similar in makeup to the 2018 group that went 10-3.

Later, Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com joins Andy to talk Texas A&M. The Aggies are one of the more fascinating teams in the SEC. They just made a coaching change, but because of Mike Elko’s recent experience in College Station, he doesn’t feel like a first-year head coach there. After inheriting a roster that still has some serious talent following Jimbo Fisher’s firing, can Texas A&M pull off some surprises in 2024?

Later, SEC coordinator of officials John McDaid joins Andy to discuss how in-helmet communications might affect the game. McDaid also mentions a small rule change that could have a big effect on a game.

Lane Kiffin fights the RAT POISON | Can LSU's defense improve? Jul 16, 2024

Andy is at SEC Media Days in Dallas, and Ole Miss and LSU dominated the conversation on Monday.

(28:33-35:04) LSU Tigers Outlook

(35:05-54:55) T-Bob Hebert Joins to discuss LSU

(54:56-58:08) Conclusion, Georgia and Tennessee Discussion

Andy and On3's J.D. PicKell break down what Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said as the Rebels prepare for perhaps the most-hyped season in program history. Ole Miss went 11-2 last season and then seriously upgraded the roster in the transfer portal. Will that be good enough to make the College Football Playoff and/or compete for the SEC title? New ESPN commentator Nick Saban seems to think so, but Kiffin thinks all this offseason praise is -- to use a Sabanism -- at poison.

Andy and J.D. also discuss J.D.'s interview with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Is it finally time for J.D. to put the Gumbo Gunslinger nickname to rest, or does Nussmeier like it?

Next, former LSU center and current Baton Rouge radio host T-Bob Hebert joins Andy to talk Tigers. How will LSU use linebacker Harold Perkins Jr.? And can the Tigers get better on defense after completely retooling the coaching staff on that side of the ball?

Is Colorado really everyone's Super Bowl? | Billy Napier needs to win HOW many games? Jul 11, 2024

(1:15-20:53) Is Colorado everyone's Super Bowl?

Meanwhile, Deion Sanders took the stage at Big 12 media days, and he said something very interesting. Sanders essentially said he’s held to a higher standard than other coaches. But is he really? Andy explains.

Sanders also seemed genuinely excited for this version of the Buffaloes. He’s confident they’ll be better than 4-8, and he explained why.

Later, Andy breaks down Baylor coach Dave Aranda’s blunt assessment that the Bears are recruiting better because they are “paying players.”

Next, it’s time for Dear Andy. You asked some great questions, including…

Should the ACC get an automatic College Football Playoff bid if it loses Florida State and Clemson?

Can Florida be better and that not reflect in the Gators’ record because of the difficulty of the schedule?

Should a school pay its coach and AD less and send the difference to pay players?

And much more…

Arch Manning and EA Sports played us for fools | Mike Gundy does beer math on live TV Jul 10, 2024

On3’s Pete Nakos joins the show to explain how Arch Manning and EA Sports drummed up even more free publicity with a brilliant strategy that involved some initial misdirection.

(0:00-1:04) Intro

(1:05-22:34) Mike Gundy at Big 12 Media Days

(22:35-30:44) Pete Nakos Joins

(51:55-56:07) Cam Rising on BYU vs Utah

(56:08-57:18) Conclusion, Dear Andy tomorrow! andystapleson3@gmail.com

But first, we’ve got to talk about what Mike Gundy said. The Oklahoma State coach appeared at Big 12 Media Days on Tuesday and explained why he’s not suspending star tailback Ollie Gordon following Gordon’s recent arrest on a charge of driving under the influence. Gundy did some beer math live on ESPN and the backlash came understandably quickly.

Gundy has never worried too much about what anyone else thinks, and Andy wonders if Gundy has reached a point where he’s essentially in “screw it” mode. Andy also explains why the current state of things has put Gundy in a place where he can feel that way.

Next, Pete joins the show to talk about Arch Manning’s EA Sports College Football 25 okey-doke. Plus, Andy and Pete break down some of the more interesting tidbits from Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark’s press conference at media days.

Later, Andy examines more of what we learned at Big 12 Media Days, including the fact that Kansas State QB Avery Johnson doesn’t think the video game got his magnificent hair correct. Plus, Utah QB Cam Rising reminds everyone why the return of Utah-BYU as a conference game is going to be spectacular.

Is Oregon a BLUEBLOOD or still only a NEWBLOOD? | Remembering Khyree Jackson Jul 08, 2024

Oregon got a commitment on July 4 from Duncanville, Texas, receiver Dakorien Moore, who is the highest ranked player to ever commit to the Ducks. He’s the type of player Oregon didn’t typically land before, but the Ducks’ 2025 class might wind up including the top-ranked or second-ranked (or both) player in the country at multiple positions.

(1:01:48-1:05:08) Conclusion, Recapping 4th of July Weekend

Justin Hopkins of On3’s Scoop Duck joins Andy to discuss how Oregon has enhanced an already effective roster-building operation under coach Dan Lanning. Andy also wonders if Justin was correct last week when he wrote that Oregon isn’t a blueblood program yet but seems headed there. Andy wonders if the Ducks have possibly already crossed that threshold.

More from Justin Hopkins and ScoopDuck here: https://www.on3.com/teams/oregon-ducks/

Justin also shares memories of former Oregon and Alabama cornerback Khyree Jackson, the Minnesota Vikings rookie who died in a car crash this past weekend.

Later, Andy builds on that blueblood conversation. How do we define a blueblood? Who are the bluebloods now? And how does a newblood — a program that has enjoyed great recent success but doesn’t have a history of dominance — become a blueblood?

(41:34-44:37) If Florida goes 9-3, do the Gators make the CFP?

(44:38-47:25) Does finishing in last place guarantee a coach gets fired?

(1:01:08-1:02:39) Conclusion, Happy 4th of July!

Andy examines the newest info drop from EA Sports. This time, it’s Dynasty Mode. What kind of coach will Andy choose to be? Will he try to recruit more from the high school ranks or take the Coach Prime/Lane Kiffin route? The possibilities look very intriguing.

Next, UTSA coach Jeff Traylor joins the show to discuss the transition from high school coach so good they named the stadium after him to college head coach. Traylor explains the pros and cons of the transfer portal at his level, and he discusses how to hang on to good players when other programs come knocking. He also talks about how different it will be without stalwarts Frank Harris and Rashad Wisdom, who started all four of Traylor's previous seasons at UTSA.

Then it’s time for your questions.

Will the video game make people better fans or more annoying fans?

Is finishing No. 16 (or No. 17 or No. 18) in a conference grounds for automatic firing?

Which school has the tastiest mascot?

Andy and On3 national writer Jesse Simonton use the EA Sports offense and defense unit rankings released Thursday as a jumping-off point to discuss the how the real-life versions of these units will fare.

(0:00-2:26) Intro - EA Sports Offensive and Defensive Rakings

(2:27-3:24) Jesse Simonton joins to break down the rankings

(3:25-6:51) Colorado ranked too high?

(6:52-8:23) USC Rankings

(8:24-11:07) Ohio State

(11:08-15:11) Georgia's Ranking

(15:12-16:39) Liberty on the game

(16:40-18:23) Miami

(18:24-22:47) Alabama

(22:48-28:34) Omission of Tennessee

(28:35-32:24) Clemson

(32:25-35:15) Ole Miss

(35:16-38:09) Florida at #25 on defense

(38:10-42:19) LSU

(42:20-45:51) Sneaky Defense: Texas A&M

(45:52-50:09) Penn State

(50:10-53:20) SMU Ponies

(53:21-55:10) UCF Knights

(55:11-57:45) Big 12 Outlook

(57:46-1:01:48) Wrapping up with Jesse

(1:01:49-1:04:10) Who is YOUR Dynasty Team?

(1:04:11-1:05:09) Conclusion, see you Monday!

Do Georgia and Oregon really have the best offenses? EA Sports didn’t have Tennessee in its top 25 on offense or defense, but where should the Volunteers actually fall? (Andy and Jesse will remind game-makers that James Pearce Jr. is a person who exists.) Is Colorado really going to be as good on each side of the ball as the video game rankings suggest?

Also, will LSU and USC improve enough on defense in real life to be among the top 25 units? Because if they are, then those programs might be looking at College Football Playoff berths.

(1:09:14-1:10:16) Conclusion, Dear Andy tomorrow! Andystapleson3@gmail.com

What are five-star recruits in the class of 2025 looking for in a school? Money? Development? Championships? Early playing time?

Andy and Dukes also discuss the decision JuJu Lewis has to make as he decides whether to stick with his USC commitment or play for Coach Prime at Colorado. Should ANY QB with an offer from Lincoln Riley’s team ever consider another school? And is there another school/coach/position combination with a similar reputation for development?

Later, Andy gives his critique of the EA Sports Toughest College Football Environment list while offering his own list for you to critique.

EA Sports had Texas A&M’s Kyle Field as the toughest place to play. Andy chose a different SEC school.

College football coaching staffs are about to BLOW UP | Will Georgia PILLAGE USC's recruiting class? Jun 25, 2024

We'll talk unlimited coaches and big recruiting news, but first congratulations to the Tennessee Volunteers for winning the baseball national title. Daddy hats for everyone!

(0:00-6:25) Intro - a Comment from Brandon on USC

(6:26-9:39) Congratulations to Tennessee on being CWS Champs!

(1:03:40-1:08:49) Michigan with Sherrone Moore after Harbaugh

(1:08:50-1:11:33) Wrapping up With Steve

(1:11:34-1:13:00) Conclusion

Also, the Longhorn Network -- which made Texas a lot of money but drove a wedge through the Big 12 -- will relaunch as a streaming service when Texas officially joins the SEC next week.

Pete Nakos of On3 joins to discuss a potential rule change that would allow teams to have unlimited on-field coaches. The NCAA Division I Council is meeting Tuesday and Wednesday, and it is expected to pass a change that would lift the cap on on-field coaches. That cap currently is 10 assistants. If the change goes through, it could start a mini-coaching carousel as teams either promote analysts to on-field positions or hire extra coaches.

Later, On3’s Steve Wiltfong joins Andy to discuss a busy week in the world of recruiting. USC recently lost two high-ranked defensive recruits for the class of 2025. One, edge rusher Isaiah Gibson, committed to Georgia Monday night? Could defensive lineman Justus Terry join Gibson soon? Meanwhile, quarterback JuJu Lewis — another USC commit — visited Colorado this past weekend.

Alabama is on a recruiting hot streak as well. Meanwhile, Michigan has gone on a run in the past few weeks. Plus, the class of 2026 QB dominoes have started to fall.

Andy is BACK from vacation and … very little happened while he was gone.

(0:00-3:02) Intro - We Are BACK! CWS Final TONIGHT

(49:40-55:36) Defensive Players for Heisman?

(55:37-59:00) Wrapping Up With Jesse

(59:01-1:03:13) Social Media Trends with CFB Acconts

(1:03:14-1:04:14) Conclusion, Wrapping Up

Les Miles sued LSU over vacated wins, and a bunch of schools advertised their cheap in-game beer — or cheese, or SPAM — on Twitter.

Tennessee and Texas A&M played two fun games over the weekend to set up a winner-take-all showdown on Monday at the men’s College World Series.

Since it is prime arguing season, On3’s Jesse Simonton joins Andy to talk Heisman Trophy. Jesse spent last week breaking down potential candidates in the power conferences, and the race seems wide open. Plus, the new College Football Playoff format could affect how we view certain candidates.

Who will enter the season with the best odds? And who aren’t we talking about right now who could burst on the scene and wind up in New York in December?

Could the Big 12 SELL its name? | More EA Sports College Football 25 Intel Jun 14, 2024

Should the Big 12 sell its name? Or should it sell a piece of itself? Or both? Those are the questions Andy and On3’s Pete Nakos discuss after news that the league is considering selling its naming rights to Allstate and that the league is considering selling a piece of itself to a foreign private equity firm in exchange for a cash infusion.

Pete also discusses the congressional bill that will attempt to declare college athletes aren’t employees. The bill passed through a House committee on Thursday and will reach the floor during this session. Does it have any chance of passing? Or will it languish like all the other bills drafted on this subject?

Next, Andy digs into the EA Sports gameplay deep dive video to share more information from his visit to EA Sports last month to play the new college football video game. The deep dive revealed a little more of what game designers discussed in the abstract during Andy’s trip.

(30:45-38:34) All-Portal Teams for Jesse

(38:35-1:09:12) Jim Nagy joins to break down new era of CFB

(1:09:13-1:10:50) Conclusion/Wrapping Up

Andy unveils his projected 12-team College Football Playoff, which is more of a look at how the new CFP will actually work than a prediction of which teams will get into the CFP. Of course, Jesse Simonton and Andy will have opinions about which teams might make the field. But what we know for sure is that some power-conference fanbase is going to be righteously furious when its team gets bumped for the highest ranked Group of 5 champ — or possibly a lower ranked power conference champ.

Jesse also unveils his All-Transfer Portal team. He’s also been examining win totals in every conference, and he and Andy discuss which ones feel too high and which ones feel too low.

Later, Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy joins to discuss some of the best transfer players that he’s studied. The Senior Bowl staff had to evaluate new Miami QB Cam Ward, new Ohio State QB Will Howard and new Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel in case they decided to leave for the NFL after last season. So Jim explains from a scout’s point of view what the new teams can expect from their new QBs.

NOW OR NEVER for Ole Miss, Miami, Penn State and Ohio State? | Texas State coach G.J. Kinne joins Jun 07, 2024

On3’s J.D. Pickell joins Andy to talk about the teams in Now or Never mode. Which teams are set up to win so well that anything short of a College Football Playoff berth/conference title/national title would be considered a failure?

(50:04-1:06:06) GJ Kinne from Texas State joins

(1:06:07-1:07:20) Conclusion

Miami and Ole Miss certainly make the list. So does Penn State. Does Ohio State? Or is it just Ryan Day? Does Colorado belong given that Deion Sanders’ sons (and Travis Hunter) will probably be finished in Boulder after this season?

What other schools belong on the list? Jump in the chat and chime in.

Next, Texas State coach G.J. Kinne joins to discuss following up on the Bobcats’ best season since they moved to the FBS level. Kinne also makes his case for coaches to be included in next year’s version of EA College Football.

On3’s Pete Nakos joins Andy to discuss some very interesting information that came out of the On3 Elite Series last week. Players anonymously answered a survey about NIL and how it is affecting their recruitment, and the results were surprising.

Plus, Florida is the latest state to allow NIL for high-schoolers. Two players who attended the Elite Series, receiver Jamie Ffrench and DB Vernell Brown III, have already struck deals with American Eagle.

We move from Nakosifications to Fong Bombs as On3’s Steve Wiltfong joins to break down a news-heavy week for the recruiting class of 2025. QB Keelon Russell (Duncanville, Texas) flipped his commitment from SMU to Alabama on Tuesday. Who might be the next to flip? Also, which schools gained ground with top recruits during the first big official visit weekend of the cycle?

Which coaches can work their way off the hot seat? | The NCAA has chosen the hill on which to die May 31, 2024

It’s a Dear Andy show, but before we get to your questions, there is a ton of news to discuss…

(0:00-13:16) Intro: More Kickoff Times Announced

(13:17-24:31) Pete Nakos Joins to break down Transfer Portal Settlement

(24:32-28:44) Governance of College Sports moving forward

(1:09:11-1:10:20) Wrapping up the week

(1:10:21-1:12:37) Northwestern's Temporary Home

The SEC dropped a bunch of early-season kickoff times Thursday and — more importantly — promised to deliver the kickoff times for most of the rest of the season on June 11. Of note, the first SEC edition of the Red River Rivalry will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. CT. Also, the Egg Bowl (Mississippi State at Ole Miss) and Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate (Georgia Tech at Georgia) are moving to Black Friday.

In other news, the NCAA settled a federal lawsuit with the Department of Justice and various state attorneys general over transfer rules. Essentially, there won’t be any. On3’s Pete Nakos will explain why the NCAA rolled over on an issue that has a huge effect on football and basketball.

Now it’s time for your questions…

Which coaches could make an off-the-hot-seat comeback the way West Virginia’s Neal Brown did last year?

Could two-way Colorado star Travis Hunter win the Heisman Trophy if the Buffaloes don’t make a bowl game?

Which SEC games should Jim from Michigan attend in November?

What is more likely: Arch Manning takes over for Ewers during the season, or a non-Power 2 school wins the Natty?

Tuesday was the first day of the On3 Elite Series and the first day of SEC spring meetings, so we have much to discuss.

On3’s Jesse Simonton joins the show from Destin, Fla., where he talked to Georgia coach Kirby Smart, Florida coach Billy Napier, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin and more as the coaches convened for their meetings.

In Nashville, Andy talked to Jacksonville, Fla., receiver Jamie Ffrench, who turned heads at the Elite Series and who is about to embark on official visits before deciding in August from a group of schools that includes Texas, Ohio State, Tennessee, Miami and LSU.

And also chatted with Haley and Hanna Cavinder about their return to college basketball at Miami after a year away from the sport. The Cavinders were trailblazers in the NIL world, so what advice do they have for the future football stars convened in Nashville?

Next, Andy talks Missouri Tigers with quarterback Matt Zollers. The Pennsylvanian was the first player to commit to Missouri’s class of 2025, and he’s now helping Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz put the rest of the class together.

Which SEC coach runs the meeting now? | Saying goodbye to Bill Walton May 28, 2024

It’s day one of the SEC spring meetings in Destin and also day one of the On3 Elite Series in Nashville, so Andy has a lot to talk about with On3’s J.D. Pickell and Pete Nakos.

49:00 Future of College Football

55:08 Remembering Bill Walton

58:37 Conclusion

At the SEC meetings in Destin, commissioner Greg Sankey spent Monday night discussing all the big changes coming to college sports following last week’s House v. NCAA settlement. Tuesday will bring all the SEC’s football coaches to their meeting, which will be the first since 2007 without Nick Saban. Florida coach Billy Napier is likely to get asked about quarterback Jaden Rashada’s lawsuit against him.

Meanwhile, the On3 Elite Series starts Tuesday. Dozens of the best recruits in the class of 2025 will join us in Nashville. Andy, J.D. and Pete discuss what it’s like to be a top recruit in 2025. They also imagine their ideal official visit.

Also, the guys pay tribute to UCLA legend Bill Walton, who passed Monday at 71. Walton was a generational player for John Wooden’s Bruins and an accomplished NBA player, and his work later in life as a commentator on Pac-12 basketball games brought joy to everyone who stayed up to watch.

The Rutgers at USC game will kick off at 8 p.m. local (11 p.m. Eastern) on Fox on Friday, Oct. 25 (Presumably after a World Series game).

Now on to your questions:

How many teams can enter the season realistically expecting to compete for a College Football Playoff berth?

Which Group of 5 head coach should be the next called up to a power conference job?

Could three teams from either the ACC or Big 12 make the CFP?

The way college football works is about to change forever | A Georgia QB sues the Florida coach May 22, 2024

(15:10-33:11) Pete Nakos Joins

(33:12-45:26) Nick De La Torre Joins

(45:27-58:37) Florida's Outlook in 2024

(58:38-1:00:40) Conclusion

The ACC and Big 12 have voted to approve the House v. NCAA settlement. The NCAA's Board of Directors has as well. More approvals will come, which means schools could be sharing revenues directly with athletes within the next year.

What seemed unthinkable 10 years ago is on the verge of happening.

Meanwhile... QB Jaden Rashada has sued Florida coach Billy Napier and Florida mega-donor Hugh Hathcock alleging fraud because Rashada didn't receive any of the money he claims he was promised during his recruitment by Florida. Rashada, a four-star prospect in the class of 2023, flipped from Miami to Florida in November 2022. He signed with Florida even though his NIL deal already had been terminated by the collective that wrote it. He claims in the suit that Napier and Hathcock assured him he'd receive $1 million upon signing with the Gators. He did not. Rashada wound up playing last year at Arizona State and has since transferred to Georgia. On3's Pete Nakos joins to discuss the case.

Later, Nick De La Torre of Gators Online joins to talk about what impact the lawsuit could have on Napier and the Gators. Nick also fills us in on where Florida stands following spring practice as the Gators face a brutal schedule in a make-or-break year.

Is Ohio State really No. 1? Is Andy too high on Alabama? Why does Andy love Kansas State so much?

Andy and Jesse compare Andy’s ranking with Jesse’s conference power rankings, and Andy wants to know why Jesse doesn’t believe in Auburn.

Will either one be ultimately correct? Probably not! But it makes for a delightful debate in June.

Next, Andy and Dukes try to solve one of college football’s biggest crises: The nicknames stink these days. So they’re going to fix it by handing out nicknames to some of the sport’s best players.

Andy also has questions about Doug Gottlieb’s decision to keep his radio show while coaching the Wisconsin-Green Bay basketball team. He and Dukes also try to decide which college football coaches could host a show while still coaching.

Can Kalen DeBoer win a national title at Alabama within three years? | Billy Napier's win total? May 16, 2024

It’s a Dear Andy show! But before Andy answers your questions, he has an announcement:

He has chosen a dynasty mode team for EA Sports College Football. Hint: It’s the new team of a certain high-ranking quarterback who just emerged from the transfer portal.

Does North Carolina want out of the ACC too? | Is Florida State reloaded to win the ACC again? May 14, 2024

Andy is on the scene at the ACC meetings in Amelia Island, Fla., and the scene is… weird.

(0:00-3:05) Intro - Live from ACC Spring Meetings!

(3:06-9:41) Kickoff Times Announced

(9:42-23:12) North Carolina, Board of Trustees Update

(23:13-48:40) Florida State Update with Ira Schoffel

(48:41-53:44) NFL vs CFP Games on TV

(53:45-1:02:33) NCAA president speaks on House Settlement

(1:02:34-1:03:09) Conclusion

Two ACC schools (Florida State and Clemson) are suing the conference, and the conference is suing those schools back. And everyone is meeting ahead of a potentially exciting 2024 football season because no one can do anything about the court cases right now.

Meanwhile, the board of trustees at North Carolina made a very public statement that the Tar Heels need to consider membership in another conference. Unlike at Clemson and Florida State, where the president and athletic director were very much on board with the anti-ACC sentiment, the trustees spent part of their meeting Monday criticizing athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who was headed to the meeting in Florida when they met. Cunningham, at least publicly, has been supportive of the ACC.

Also, NCAA president Charlie Baker met with ACC ADs and coaches Monday to brief them on some of the big changes heading their way. The NCAA is negotiating a settlement in a class action lawsuit (House v. NCAA) that likely will change the business model for college sports. And Baker is talking like a person who wants that multi-billion dollar settlement done so the schools can start preparing for the future.

Later, Andy and Ira Schoffel of On3’s Warchant discuss Florida State’s position in the ACC right now as the Seminoles sue the league in Florida and the league sues the Seminoles in North Carolina. Plus, Andy and Ira discuss what Florida State will look like on the football field this year after losing some very important players to the NFL.

Can Hugh Freeze calling plays make Auburn a contender RIGHT NOW? | Top QB recruit to visit Indiana? May 10, 2024

Andy and Phillip Dukes are talking Auburn on a glorious spring Friday. Hugh Freeze said this week that he decided to roll with the QBs the Tigers had — including incumbent starter Payton Thorne and incoming freshman Walker White — rather than spending big on a QB in the transfer portal. Was that the correct choice, and how much will Freeze’s decision to call plays again change the course of the offense? Also, how good is freshman receiver Cam Coleman?

JuJu Lewis, a top class of 2025 quarterback recruit from Dukes' neck of the woods is committed to USC and being pursued by Auburn, but he has scheduled a visit to Indiana. How did that happen, and what does it say about how serious new Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti is about turning around that program?

The guys also discuss which teams improved their rosters the most now that the spring transfer portal window has closed. Miami kept adding players, but will those additions help the Hurricanes win more come fall?

Andy and Dukes also discuss former NBA guard Austin Rivers’ comment that there were about 30 NBA players who could play in the NFL. Which is the more difficult sport? Also, which NBA stars would we have loved to see in college football?

But first we have to dive into Brian Kelly's comments on the transfer portal, particularly the defensive tackle position

Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Ole Miss look like CFP contenders, but should others — looking at you LSU, Missouri and Tennessee — dream just as big?

Just how dire are the situations at Arkansas and Florida?

And which SEC quarterback does Cody think will shock the nation in 2024?

The spring transfer portal window did not destroy America | LSU still needs help on defense May 07, 2024

The transfer portal is closed, and the last of the entrants are finding new teams. On3’s Pete Nakos joins to break down the action.

(0:00-5:49) Intro

(5:50-25:44) Pete Nakos Joins to Breakdown Transfer Portal

(37:49-41:19) LSU Intro

(41:20-1:04:10) Billy Embody from the Bengal Tiger joins

(1:04:11-1:06:10) Conclusion

Amorion Walker is the latest Boomerang transfer. Walker played at Michigan last year, transferred to Ole Miss in January and now has decided to transfer back to Michigan. Meanwhile, Alabama DB transfer Peyton Woodyard committed to Oregon. San Jose State CB transfer Jay’Vion Cole, the top remaining DB in the portal, committed to Texas.

The landing spot for Oklahoma QB transfer General Booty remains unknown.

Andy and Pete also discuss Pete’s story on the possibility that athletes might collectively bargain with schools or conferences even if they aren’t employees. This is what the schools would prefer, but it may not be possible because of a variety of factors.

Next, Billy Embody of On3's The Bengal Tiger joins to talk LSU. First, he and Andy put to rest any J.D. PicKell-created debate over the nickname for Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.

Billy explains what LSU does now after missing on several key defensive line targets in the spring transfer portal window. He also offers some insight as to how LSU will replace the production of first-round receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.

Andy and Dukes also tackle the closing of the transfer portal and discuss which teams got better.

Next, Sean Fitz of Blue White Illustrated joins to help Andy answer a question that popped up during last week’s Dear Andy episode: Is Penn State on the list of schools where the job description of the head coach simply reads “win the national championship?”

Oklahoma beats Texas for a HUGE transfer portal commit | Can Texas A&M surprise in the fall? May 03, 2024

The spring transfer portal window is closed, but there’s still drama. Oklahoma landed one of the most sought-after players in the spring window on Thursday when TCU transfer Damonic Williams committed. Williams started every game in his two seasons at TCU and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 player in 2023. Few defensive linemen with this resume had entered the portal this spring, and a lot of schools wanted Williams. It came down to Oklahoma and Texas.

(32:57-1:05:12) Billy Liucci from Tex Ags joins

(1:05:13-1:06:47) Conclusion - Have a great weekend!

On3’s Pete Nakos breaks down that decision as well as the ongoing recruitment of Michigan State transfer defensive lineman Simeon Barrow, who told Pete on Thursday that he might decide Friday from a group that includes LSU, Missouri and Miami.

Plus, Oklahoma backup QB General Booty is the highest ranking player to ever enter the transfer portal.

Next, Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com joins the show to talk about a quiet spring in College Station as new coach Mike Elko works to shape a roster that probably isn’t as loaded as we’d think given Texas A&M’s recruiting rankings of the past few years.

In fact, the situation Elko finds himself in now is eerily reminiscent of the one Steve Sarkisian took over at Texas in 2021.

But with QB Conner Weigman working his way back toward 100 percent, transfer Nic Scourton coming off the edge and an SEC schedule that isn’t as tough as the one some other teams got, the Aggies might be a surprise come fall.

Has the Sanders family made a HEEL TURN at Colorado? | What jobs require winning a national title? May 02, 2024

It’s a Dear Andy edition, and you have some great questions. Specifically, you have some very interesting questions about Deion Sanders.

(0:00-7:37) Intro - Opt Outs, State of CFB

(7:38-21:59) Introducing On3 - Her with Talia Goodman

(1:09:50-1:14:03) G5 School to use in EA Sports?

(1:14:04-1:16:14) Conclusion

But first, we’re very excited to introduce you to Talia Goodman. Talia is On3’s newest hire, and she’ll be leading the HER vertical. While a student reporter at Indiana University, Talia realized there wasn’t a transfer portal news-breaker covering women’s basketball, so she worked to make herself one. Now she’s the best in the game, and she’s bringing her talents to On3.

Andy and Talia discuss how the women’s college game can capitalize on the moment it’s having currently, and Talia identifies the stars who will try to fill the void now that Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and company are off to the WNBA.

Now, it’s time for your questions. Once again, Coach Prime and his team dominate the conversation.

Will Shedeur Sanders' tweet clapping back at a former Colorado player hurt his chances to win awards? Would it affect his draft stock?

How much longer should we reasonably expect Deion to be at Colorado?

Given the discussion of the way Sanders handled cutting players and the back-and-forth between former and current Colorado players, what should be considered acceptable when managing a roster?

Andy often talks about college football jobs where the job description is simply “Win the national title.” How many of those jobs are there? Which schools?

Who does Andy plan to play as in Dynasty Mode when the new EA college football game debuts?

Andy and Cody each will declare their offensive and defensive schemes. Then they’ll draft the best possible teams to carry out those schemes on the field.

Perhaps they’re looking for different quarterbacks, but everyone needs great offensive tackles, edge rushers, defensive backs and receivers. Who will get LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell? Who will get Ohio State’s Caleb Downs? Which general manager/coach will pick the best players for his chosen schemes?

Feel free to heckle each pick in the chat.

Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola looks ready to SHINE | Is this the deepest Notre Dame team in years? Apr 30, 2024

The hype train for Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola is leaving the station, and Andy climbs aboard with Sean Callahan of On3’s Husker Online. Raiola’s spring game performance got the Nebraska fanbase pumped for the future. So what happens next? How does coach Matt Rhule handle the quarterback situation going into preseason camp? And who will help Raiola on offense when fall arrives?

(0:00-4:29) Intro

(4:30-13:49) Leaders Discussing Settlement of Antitrust Case

(13:50-35:14) Sean Callahan from Husker Online Joins

(35:15-40:28) Spring Transfer Portal

(40:29-1:03:53) Tyler Horka from Blue and Gold joins

(1:03:54-1:06:50) Conclusion - Draft Ultimate Teams tomorrow

Before that, Andy breaks down the news that the NCAA and major conferences have engaged in settlement talks in the House v. NCAA case. Why does this matter? Because any settlement likely involves the schools promising revenue sharing with the athletes going forward. That would change how the players are compensated, and it likely would lead to collective bargaining.

Speaking of which, there was news on that front Monday out of Trent Dilfer’s UAB program.

Also, a few more players jumped in the transfer portal ahead of its closing on Tuesday. Alabama freshman safety Peyton Woodyard entered on Monday night. Oregon is the favorite to land him. Nebraska edge rusher Chief Borders also has entered the portal. So has former Washington QB Sam Huard, who spent 2023 at Cal Poly. Offensive lineman Andrew Dennis, the highest ranked signee in Illinois’ 2024 class, also entered the portal.

Next, Tyler Horka of On3’s Blue and Gold joins to discuss Notre Dame coming out of spring practice. The Fighting Irish got a good look at their quarterback room with presumed starter Riley Leonard recovering from ankle surgery, and the depth — and lack of QBs jumping in the portal — should inspire confidence. So should the performance of the receivers in the spring game. Notre Dame didn’t have anywhere near its full group, but the way the available players performed suggests that the passing game should be much more dynamic than it was last season.

We’re talking about what Oregon should expect from the Big Ten and what the Big Ten should expect from the Ducks, but we also need to acknowledge that elsewhere in the Big Ten, the Dylan Raiola hype machine is operating at full capacity after Raiola’s spring game performance.

Meanwhile, Colorado wrapped spring practice and continued to add more transfers. That includes RB Rashad Amos, a Miami (Ohio) transfer who originally had planned to go to Mississippi State.

Next, Justin Hopkins of Scoop Duck joins to talk about Oregon. The Ducks wrapped spring practice Saturday, and Oklahoma transfer QB Dillon Gabriel looks like he’s been in Eugene forever.

But first, On3 national reporter Pete Nakos joins us for a transfer portal update. And the portal has been busy. On Wednesday, Georgia defensive lineman Christen Miller announced his intention to enter the portal. This is another player of consequence entering the portal. The question now is which non-SEC team will land Miller. Also, former Penn State receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith committed to Auburn.

Now it’s time for your questions, including a leadoff question that is sure to ignite debate…

In honor of Reggie Bush getting his Heisman Trophy back, does Reggie have the greatest high school highlight video of all time? Andy will rank the top 10.

Also in honor of Bush getting his Heisman back, what other sports wrongs need to be righted?

It’s draft night, and a viewer wants to know how Andy would build a team if he were an NFL general manager.

Another viewer wants Andy to match perfect players with perfect teams/situations in the draft.

Also, how will weather affect first-round College Football Playoff games?

51:57 Jesse Simonton breaks down his top head coaches in college football

1:14:42 Conclusion, Dear Andy Tomorrow - Andystapleson3@gmail.com

The most interesting name is Dylan Edwards, the Colorado tailback who led the Buffaloes in rushing last season. Edwards was one of Deion Sanders’ first big flips, choosing Colorado over Notre Dame out of high school. But now Edwards plans to hit the portal. Where will he go? We’re not quite sure, but Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson posted a photo of he and Edwards playing together in pee-wee football.

Next, Andy and On3 national writer Jesse Simonton have things to argue about. Andy released his mock draft, while Jesse released his All-College Football team of potential NFL draftees.

Jesse also revealed his top 25 college football coaches this week. That topic certainly won’t create any debate in the chat.

How 2024 NFL first-round draft picks stacked up as college football recruits Apr 23, 2024

Yes, Caleb Williams was always that good. But he wasn’t the top-ranked quarterback in the recruiting class of 2021. (That guy is still in college.) Meanwhile, J.J. McCarthy was as polarizing a college recruit as he is a potential NFL draft pick.

(57:00-1:01:00) Guys Not in the Draft, Re-Visited

(1:01:01-1:02:05) Conclusion

On3 director of ranking Charles Power and national scout Cody Bellaire join Andy to share stories about the players who will be drafted beginning this Thursday when they were high schoolers trying to choose where they would play their college ball.

Cody, who used to work in the personnel department at LSU, offers a plausible alternate history where Williams winds up in Baton Rouge playing for Ed Orgeron. Charles discusses how low-key Jayden Daniels' recruitment to Arizona State was. Charles also explains how the Joe Alt who came out of high school in Minnesota was not nearly as easy to project as the version of Alt who is leaving Notre Dame and heading to anchor some NFL team’s offensive line for the next 10 years.

Plus, the guys pay tribute to the Patron Saint of Projection — former TCU coach Gary Patterson.

(17:10-18:45) Transfer Portal Update - Cormani McClain

(18:46-38:31) Pete Nakos Joins to recap the overall transfer portal

(38:32-59:39) Trevor Sikkema Joins to preview the NFL Draft

(59:40-1:02:13) Conclusion

Another set of spring games is over, and it’s time to TOTALLY OVERREACT ABOUT ARCH MANNING. Sure, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian made it abundantly clear that Quinn Ewers is the Texas starter and that he just really wanted to give Manning a chance to play significant snaps in the spring game. But that’s not how the Internet works, Sark.

Meanwhile, Michigan wrapped spring practice, and it appears the Wolverines’ QB competition will come down to Alex Orji and Davis Warren — unless Michigan coaches decide to dip into the transfer portal for a QB. So far, no QB that would appear worthy of Michigan’s starting job has entered the portal.

That brings us to a transfer portal update from On3 national writer Pete Nakos. The weekend brought a lot of official visits, a few commitments and a few new entries.

Next, Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus joins to break down Thursday’s NFL Draft. Trevor is a massive college football fan who also happens to be a draft analyst, and he’ll help explain some of the more interesting swings in draft conventional wisdom. For instance, former Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy is now being mocked as a likely top-10 pick. How did he climb draft boards so fast?

How two LSU receivers grew into 1st rounders | QB Jaden Rashada might go where? How the Portal Works Apr 19, 2024

This show is sponsored by Fanduel. Go to fanduel.com/Staples to sign up and new customers receive $150 in bonus bets when you bet $5. Fanduel recently released odds on which teams will make the 12-team College Football Playoff. Is your team favored?

(21:51-37:37) LSU WR Coach and Co-Offensive Coordinator Cortez Hankton Jr. Joins

(37:38-1:03:22) On3's National Scout Cody Bellaire Joins to discuss how the transfer portal ACTUALLY works

(1:03:23-1:04:55) Conclusion

The transfer portal is expecting a very interesting entrant soon. Quarterback Jaden Rashada, whose original signing with Florida disintegrated after a collective reneged on a contract that purported to be worth $13.8 million over four years, is leaving Arizona State after one season in Tempe. Where might he wind up? On3’s Pete Nakos reported he possibly could be headed to an SEC school.

Next, LSU receivers coach/co-offensive coordinator Cortez Hankton Jr. joins the show. Hankton will be in the green room at the draft next week with former Tigers receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., who are expected to be picked in the first round. Hankton, who came to LSU from Georgia and who could have as many as six former players drafted next week, discusses how those two developed into first-rounders.

Later, On3 national scout Cody Bellaire explains how college personnel departments are handling the transfer portal window. Bellaire, who worked in the personnel departments at LSU, Texas A&M and Texas Tech, breaks down exactly how the process works from a player deciding to enter the portal to choosing a new school.

Which programs NEED to win a national title most? | Why is the spring transfer portal so tame? Apr 18, 2024

It’s a Dear Andy show, but first, a transfer portal update.

We’ve got a player of consequence alert at Louisville. Meanwhile, a few quarterbacks jumped in Wednesday.

(0:00-5:30) Intro - Spring Transfer Portal

(5:31-6:46) Dear Andy Intro

(6:47-13:35) Why the underwhelming spring portal cycle?

(13:36-36:59) Which teams NEED to win a national title?

(37:00-48:59) Deion's Recruiting Strategy

(49:00-53:49) Number of wins or Strength of Schedule?

(1:03:29-1:10:42) Interest in College Football as a whole

(1:10:43-1:11:26) Conclusion

Next, it’s time to answer your questions…

Why is the spring portal window less lively than (some people) advertised?

Which programs need to win a national title the most?

Are Deion Sanders’ sons better recruiters than Coach Prime himself?

How SEC-ready are Texas and Oklahoma? | We digest the NCAA-Michigan settlement for Cheeseburgergate Apr 17, 2024

Texas and Oklahoma are headed into the SEC this season, and both wrap spring football this weekend.

(1:03:17-1:15:02) Michigan Cheeseburger-Gate settled

(1:15:03-1:16:46) Conclusion - Dear Andy tomorrow! andystapleson3@gmail.com

Bobby Burton of On Texas Football joins to discuss how the Longhorns can tweak an already loaded roster as they prepare for year one in their new league. Plus, will a spring game that might feature only cameo appearances from a lot of starters — including QB1 Quinn Ewers — mean big playing time for backup QB Arch Manning?

Eddie Radosevich and George Stoia III of On3’s Sooner Scoop break down Oklahoma as the Sooners prepare to wrap their third spring practice under Brent Venables. Offensive line remains a question mark. What does that mean for the development of new starting quarterback Jackson Arnold?

Also, how much different is Oklahoma’s roster makeup since the Sooners decided three years ago to join the SEC?

Andy updates the transfer portal, which opened Tuesday. A few players who could contribute to contending teams have tossed in their names now.

Plus, Sportico obtained a potential conference breakdown from a pitch deck for the college football super league idea that arrived with a thud a few years ago. It helps explain why the idea got zero traction with the people who make the decisions.

Michigan and the NCAA have negotiated a resolution to (mostly) wrap up the case commonly known as Cheeseburgergate. The school and some current and former coaches have agreed to punishments for recruiting violations committed during the pandemic.

The one former coach who did not agree to any sort of resolution? Jim Harbaugh. The former Michigan and current Los Angeles Chargers head coach did not take part in the settlement and has continued to fight the accusations against him. Clayton Sayfie of On3’s The Wolverine joined to discuss what this means for the Wolverines and for Harbaugh.

Plus, Tim Watts of On3’s Bama Online joins Andy to discuss Alabama’s spring game, which featured Nick Saban as a spectator and our first look at Jalen Milroe in Kalen DeBoer’s offense.

Next, UNLV offensive coordinator Brennan Marion joins the show to talk about the Go Go Offense, a two-back, triple-option based scheme that features frequent deep shots down the field. Yes, it’s as fun as it sounds. Marion discusses his first season calling the offense in the FBS and how it can evolve in year two in Las Vegas.

(56:42-57:45) Conclusion - See you tomorrow!

A lot of schools wrapped spring practice Saturday, and Andy breaks down some of the most interesting elements from the spring games at Georgia, Penn State, Miami, LSU and others.

Spencer Holbrook of On3’s Lettermen Row joins to break down the Ohio State spring game. Does the QB1 job belong to Will Howard, or does Devin Brown still have a chance. Is freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith as good as advertised?

Next, Nick De La Torre of On3’s Gators Online joins to talk Florida’s spring game. Fans got their first look at freshman QB D.J. Lagway. How exciting was his debut? Can Florida’s defense improve enough to help the Gators manage a brutal schedule?

Finally, On3 national reporter Pete Nakos joins the show to preview the spring transfer portal window. We already know some names (Oregon State RB Damien Martinez, Penn State WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith) likely headed into the portal when it opens Wednesday. But how many players will jump in, and how radically will that affect some teams?
