TNR 1/23/26 - Hour 1 | Florida Coach Todd Golden GUARANTEES Alabama Win Jan 23, 2026

Show notes

The Alabama Crimson Tide faces the Tennessee Volunteers Saturday in Tuscaloosa at 7:30 on ESPN. Will Alabama Basketball have Charles Bediako? That question, and the circumstances around it, have been part of a national discussion. Yesterday Auburn Tigers head coach Steven Pearl gave his thoughts and Florida Gators coach Todd Golden made a prediction. You will hear both on the show.

As far as the actual game between Alabama Basketball and Tennessee Basketball, we will discuss that as well.

The College Football Playoff National Championship Game got a massive TV audience. Does that mean this game is on the Monday night after Divisional Playoff weekend forever?

Ross Dellenger reports the College Football Playoff will not be expanding for the 2026 season and staying at 12. Dellenger reports the SEC and Big Ten could not find common ground on a 16 or 24 team field.
