Tonight, we are joined by John Crimella from The Distracted Dads podcast, to discuss the fallout from the final week of the college football regular season, a look ahead to next week's conference championships and the potential College Football Playoff matchups, discuss the Heisman Trophy race, and take a ride on the coaching carousel.
Sir Arthur Dingelberry joins us live from Qatar to discuss all things World Cup '22, including USA’s 1-0 victory over Iran on Tuesday.
Cold Open Question: Taking into consideration all of the following — location, reputation, fan base, alumni, ability to recruit, the program’s history, expected salary — what Division I college football coaching job would be your dream job?
AP Top 25
Georgia 12-0 (plays No. 5 LSU in SEC Championship Saturday)Michigan 12-0 (plays unranked Purdue in B1G Championship Saturday)TCU 12-0 (plays No. 12 Kansas St. in Big 12 Championship Saturday)USC 11-1 (plays Utah in the PAC 12 Championship and lost to Utah earlier this season)Ohio St. 11-1 (lost to No. 2 Michigan)Alabama 10-2 (lost to No. 7 Tennessee and No. 11 LSU)Tennessee 10-2 (lost to No. 1 Georgia and unranked-now No. 20 South Carolina)Penn State 10-2 (lost to No. 2 Michigan and No. 5 Ohio State)
Questions for John:
Do you think all top 4 teams are going to win on Saturday? Are Georgia and Michigan safe even with a loss? TCU? USC?
I'm not a Penn State homer, but explain Penn State being ranked behind Tennessee and Alabama?!
The Fix is In: The voters have set this up for Ohio State or Alabama to get in if one of the top 4 loses? Am I right? They don’t want TCU in there.
Coaching Carousel:
Auburn hires Freeze. Ryan Day on the hot seat? Luke Fickell in Madison. Matt Rhule, fired by Carolina earlier this year, takes over the Corn Huskers. Deion, aka Coach Prime, confirms interest from Colorado. Where do you think Coach Prime goes, if anywhere? Is there any worse coaching job than Clemson's (10-2) Dabo Sweeney this season?
Player Carousel:
The transfer portal is open! (Michigan QB McNamara is taking offers)
NIL is in play: PSU's Fashanu, the projected top offensive lineman, decides to return.
Heisman Hunt:
Is it USC's Caleb Williams' to lose? Is this the least exciting Heisman Trophy race in recent history?
FIFA World Cup '22:
Why was the United States' draw versus England perceived as a victory?
Discuss the results from US v. Iran today...
Did Argentina throw the game against the Saudis?
How is the World Cup without the aide of alcohol?
