Andy and Ari celebrate the gift that keeps on giving: The Brian Ferentz offense at Iowa. Kirk "Big Daddy" Ferentz said last week he anticipates no staff changes.
Meanwhile, Alabama has nabbed offensive coordinator Tommy Rees from Notre Dame. What does that mean for the Crimson Tide, and with whom do the Fighting Irish replace Rees?
Also, Andy and Ari randomly rank the top five states in which to reside.

Mitch and Ari share their biggest takeaways from National Signing Day. Shane Beamer continues to elevate South Carolina's program as he and the Gamecocks land 5-star recruit, Nyckoles Harbor. The Jaden Rashada-Florida wrangling may have finally come to a close as the QB committed to Arizona State, which was a surprise to most. The guys also go over other NSD moves, including Austin Mack to Washington, Rodrick Pleasant's pact with Oregon, and more. Plus, will Georgia surpass Texas A&M for the greatest class of all-time in '24?

Andy and Ari talk about the 2023 Big 12 schedule, which finally got released on Tuesday. What does that mean for Oklahoma and Texas and a potential early move to the SEC? More importantly, what does it mean we'll get to watch when four new teams join a league that -- at least this year -- will still have Oklahoma and Texas? Also, Wednesday is National Signing Day Part Deux. Where will Nyckoles Harbor -- the elite sprinter who could grow into a fairly large edge rusher -- land?

The Athletic's Miami beat writer Manny Navarro joins Ari and Andy to discuss the state of the Hurricanes as the second National Signing Day approaches.
Miami needs an offensive coordinator following the firing of Josh Gattis. What does this mean for Mario Cristobal's build when a coordinator can go from Broyles Award winner (at Michigan in 2021) to fired in a year? What have the Hurricanes done to improve what wound up being a lackluster product on the field in 2022. Also, does Florida State have a better NIL-era plan than Miami or Florida?
Plus, Manny talks about a story he wrote this month looking at how the recruiting sausage is made.

Andy and Ari discuss championship Sunday -- from a college football perspective, of course. Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl QB. That's not a sentence that seemed feasible when he was transferring from Alabama to Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes continues to show that an Air Raid QB can be an all-time great QB. The second national signing day is Wednesday, and Ari is ready for drama. Meanwhile, Miami needs an offensive coordinator.

As the 49ers and QB Brock Purdy prepare to face the Eagles in Sunday's NFC Championship, Andy, Ari and Max look back on Purdy's pre-draft appearance on the show last year. What did NFL teams miss about the former Iowa State QB that allowed him to fall to the final pick of the draft?
Can we then use those clues to try to predict which outgoing college QB might be a later-round gem in this year's draft?
Later, we have our first Random Ranking of the year. Earlier this week, Ari lamented that original (non-comic book, non-sequel) movies rarely get made anymore. He mentioned Primal Fear from 1996 as an example of movies that just don't get made now. So Andy decided the guys needed to rank their top five movies of 1996.

The Portal Authority Max Olson joins Andy and Ari to break down the movement from the winter Transfer Portal open period. Does Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin have competition for the title of Portal King?
You bet he does. USC's Lincoln Riley, LSU's Brian Kelly, Oregon's Dan Lanning, Florida State's Mike Norvell, Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham and Auburn's Hugh Freeze make very strong cases.
Also, who needs be on this list but isn't?
