From No. 2 to outside the top 10: Tennessee's slide is reflected in its recruiting class Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

Much like Tennessee's 2020 football season, its 2021 recruiting class in the cycle started hot — with plenty of promise — and then began sliding in the wrong direction. The two aren't totally related, but the total picture isn't pretty: A spate of decommitments has knocked the Vols out of the top 10 in the team recruiting rankings and the football team is looking to snap a five-game losing streak ... with Florida on tap. Believe it or not, but Jeremy Pruitt is on the ropes.

Liberty (Hugh Freeze) vs. Coastal (Jamey Chadwell) is a matchup of two (maybe) coveted coaches Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Has enough time passed between Hugh Freeze's nasty exit at Ole Miss? Does Jamey Chadwell have the experience and the chops needed to succeed at the Power 5, or even the SEC? We won't learn all the answers to that this weekend, but Liberty vs. Coastal Carolina promises to be a duel between two coaches who won't be at their current schools forever.

Ohio State's covid outbreak is hanging over college football Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

The Ohio State Buckeyes are crossing their fingers they can play this weekend against Michigan State, especially with The Game (Dec. 12) in doubt. If not, the College Football Playoff committee — and the rest of us — are going to have to grapple with how we view a 5-0* Buckeye team when it comes to the postseason.

Week 13 recap: Coach carousel starts to spin, the Pac-12 is (sadly) irrelevant Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

The Big Ten is in a massive playoff bind, the Pac-12 is already out of it and the coaching carousel is humming as we head into the craziest time of the year. Trey Scott and Chris Hummer react to the news that Vanderbilt has fired Derek Mason and wonder who they'll tab to replace him, then discuss the feasibility that Texas executes an Urban Meyer-for-Tom Herman swap.

We waited longer than usual this fall for the initial College Football Playoff rankings from the committee, but a storyline-laden release made it worth it on Tuesday. Trey and Chris Hummer get together to discuss the implications from the Group of Five land, whether the top four of Alabama, Notre Dame, Clemson and Ohio State is correct, the fact that Oklahoma is a sleeper to keep an eye on and wonder why in the world Georgia is No. 9!

The Thanksgiving games we have our eye on Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

Thursday's college football slate isn't as robust as it usually is on Thanksgiving. Ohio State and Michigan won't be playing this weekend. And if recent times are any indication, we might lose some games a few hours before kickoff. But there are still some really compelling matchups this weekend, and for that we're thankful.

Show notes

Chris Hummer joins guest host Brandon Marcello to discuss what to expect moving forward after Week 12 of college football, including the susceptibility of Ohio State, Clemson, Notre Dame and Alabama.

Why Tom Allen, Jim Harbaugh and Luke Fickell are all on our radar Nov 19, 2020

Show notes

We have a coaching triangle episode of sorts. Trey and 247Sports' Steve Wiltfong start by chatting about the Indiana and its 4-0 start with Ohio State looming Saturday, and it's clear Wiltfong is swept up in some local Hoosier fever. But Trey what Trey really wants to know is ... Is Tom Allen long for Bloomington? In addition to giving his take on that, Wiltfong makes the case for Jim Harbaugh to return in 2021. If he doesn't, don't expect Luke Fickell to leave Cincinnati for Ann Arbor.

What you need to know about LSU's documented mishandling of sexual misconduct complaints Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

There is trouble in Baton Rouge. According to USA Today, officials in LSU's athletic department and broader administration repeatedly have ignored complaints against abusers in a campus-wide mishandling of sexual misconduct. It grabs our attention in this space for what it alleges about Ed Orgeron's football program; nine LSU football players were reported to police for sexual misconduct and dating violence in the last four years. Trey interviews Kenny Jacoby, one of the USA Today reporters behind the investigation, about the details of the story, whether these transgressions compare to other recent cases in college football and what happens next to LSU and, potentially, its football program.
