TNR 1/22/26 - Hour 1 | Bediako Plays For Alabama Saturday? Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

The Alabama Crimson Tide has had an active midweek bye this week without playing a game, the Crimson Tide may have former Alabama Basketball big man Charles Bediako available Saturday against the Tennessee Volunteers at 7:30 on ESPN.

It was an active Wednesday on the Bediako front as a Tuscaloosa judge ruled in his favor with a temporary restraining order against the NCAA that allows Bediako to be eligible for Saturday’s game during the delay prior to the Tuesday hearing that will determine his ultimate eligibility.

The NCAA is not happy about this and coaches and ADs from across the country have weighed in on what has happened in Tuscaloosa. We will hear from them.

Greatest College Football Turnaround Ever? Connor O’Gara on Indiana’s National Championship Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

Saturday Down South’s Connor O’Gara joins The Next Round for a fun conversation as his alma mater Indiana Hoosiers Football completes one of the most shocking runs in sports history by winning the College Football National Championship. From Bloomington to the top of the college football world, we break down how Indiana went from longshot to title holder and what it means for the future of the sport.

Connor shares the exact moment he knew this Indiana team was different, dives into the impact and leadership of head coach Curt Cignetti, and tackles the biggest question facing the program now: can Indiana sustain this level of success after back-to-back historic seasons? We also explore whether this championship gives real hope to non-traditional college football powers and debate if this is truly the greatest turnaround in college football history.

Plus, we dig into Indiana’s NIL operation, the resources fueling the Hoosiers’ rise, and whether billionaire alum Mark Cuban could help tip the scales even further in Bloomington going forward.

If you’re an Indiana fan, a Big Ten fan, or just love college football, this is a must-watch breakdown of one of the most unbelievable championship runs ever.

TNR 1/21/26 - Hour 1 | Bediako Back to Bama? Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

The Alabama Crimson Tide gets the midweek bye this week but could they add to their roster at this late date? Former Alabama Basketball big man Charles Bediako is trying to get his college eligibility back. Based on the reaction of the NCAA, it is an uphill climb for the former Bama big man.

What would the return of Bediako mean for Bama?

The Auburn Tigers got a road win 78-66 at The Ole Miss Rebels Tuesday night. Auburn Basketball continued their outside shooting woes, hitting just two 3-pointers and shooting 12% from beyond the arc but four starters in double digits led Auburn to the win.
