Absolutely jam-packed show on deck for you today, led by the incomparable Roddy Jones who wears many hats but has his ACC cap on for todays discussion on - in addition to many other things - how we got to Duke in the ACCCG & what to do about the Canes in the CFP.

Rivalry week reaction and a lookahead to the Championship games on deck Friday & Saturday? Obviously. Lots to get to in a loaded nearly 2-hour CSN that spans the college football landscape.

Feast Week - with Roddy Jones & Wayne Cook Nov 25, 2025

Show notes

So much going on with today's show, and we mean that in a good way. For starters, we got Roddy AND Wayne to walk us through this massive rivalry week of games and look back on the weekend that was. Lock Dizzle is back with week 13 takeaways, as well as a look at the nine P4 jobs that are currently open thanks to Cal parting ways with Justin Wilcox on Sunday. Roddy & Wayne have fond memories about what this week means to them as former players and alums (who know all about what it means to beat their arch rival at the end of the season), and they both talk about it in great detail. Plus some must-hear audio from both of those guys' playing days makes a surprise appearance on the program! Last but not least we got some picks from Rodstra - a lot of picks, actually - to wrap up the show. Have a great Thanksgiving holiday and thank you so much for listening to us when you're on the road this week. Safe travels and know that we are thankful and grateful for your listenership. Enjoy the week, everybody!

Felder Friday + Lock Dizzle Nov 21, 2025

Show notes

Week 13 of the college football season is upon us and the fellas are navigating through some brackish waters with a mixed bag of games this weekend. Folks are saying this is a down weekend because obviously the final week is loaded but there's still plenty to jump into. The Lock Doctor has re-branded himself because he's 1-5 in his last two weeks, total free-fall mode. Hartzell is also coming off a rough weekend of picks but still leads the overall standings. Felder is fired up because Thanksgiving is just 6 days away and he's cooking - literally and figuratively - with the Felder 5 this week touching on conference races in the AAC, ACC, SEC, and Big 12. We already know what's going on in the B1G but the best game of the weekend might just be in Eugene between the Ducks and Trojans. That's my Dog and Three for All never disappoint, especially when the 'Lock Dizzle' is on the mic fo' shizzle

A Final Four prediction gone horribly wrong | Gauer Hour Nov 21, 2025

Aside from that, he and Megan Gauer recap all the other happenings from the week - nice wins Iowa and St. John's! - and preview a fun week to come with UConn-Michigan, USC-Notre Dame and the Players Era all going on next week. Then they wrap the show with by drafting teams solely made up of LSU players.

CFP rankings reaction + Phil Steele's week 13 preview Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

New rankings dropped Tuesday night, so you know we had to jump in with some takes. Wayne's actually not that outraged, given his history in these types of shows. Should there be 5 SEC teams in the field? Committee says yes. Bad news for the ACC and potentially the Big 12 but there's still a lot of football left to be played over the next three weeks. Hartzell gets sappy about the G5 and what the committee gave us in the 20-25 bunch at the bottom of the polls. This is, after all, the same Tulane team that lost by 22 to UTSA but hey, nobody's perfect. Phil Steele joins the show for his usual 30-minute ride through the top-25. How does Phil feel about some of the biggest matchups on the card for this week? Plus, some rare Ohio State talk since this team has just been a chainsaw all season we haven't really talked about how they go about their business. Wayne saw it first-hand last weekend, what did he take away from seeing the #1 team in the land?

James Franklin is back + now or never for Rodstra Nov 18, 2025

Show notes

Virginia Tech has a new football coach and as luck would have it we got one of the ACC's best in Roddy Jones to help us unpack what it means to the fine folks in Blacksburg. How do we think this is going to go? Roddy breaks it down for us, plus we got our weekly takeaways (best thing, worst thing, thing that shocked us) from the weekend. Rodstra has been treading water lately with the picks but if he doesn't buck up and string together a couple of winning weeks on the way outta here we're going to finish below .500 (again). Early week edition of CSN is in your feed a little earlier than usual because Hartzell & Tripp have a day of community service planned ... so everyone's a winner, really.
