Last Call | Jake Coker: Is College Football About To Break Away? Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie on Last Call to discuss the changing future of college football, conference realignment, and the growing debate over the College Football Playoff. Could the SEC and Big Ten eventually separate from the NCAA and create their own college football governing structure? If that happens, should the SEC expand by adding major brands like Florida State, Clemson, and Miami? Mick and Jake break down why the SEC and Big Ten continue to hold the most value in college football and what that could mean for the ACC, Big 12, Notre Dame, and the rest of the sport. The guys also dive into the future of the College Football Playoff, including the ongoing debate between a 16-team CFP format and a 24-team playoff. Would expansion help college football, or would it weaken the regular season by allowing too many multi-loss teams into the postseason? Plus, Mick and Jake discuss the end of “cupcake” games, the push for better SEC scheduling, Notre Dame’s independent status, ESPN’s influence on the playoff, preferred kickoff times, and the latest on Alabama athletics — including Alabama football, Alabama softball’s Women’s College World Series run, and Alabama baseball hosting St. John’s in the Super Regionals.
