(57:14-1:16:31) Looking back at pre-season predictions
(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.

The national title game is set, and it’s time for Andy and Ari to break down the matchup and make a pick.

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?
