Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti spoke at the Big Ten spring meetings this week and had some pretty strong thoughts on the future of the sport. To no one's surprise he doubled down on wanting to expand the playoff to 24 teams. He noted that 16 is not an option and he is fine with remaining at 12 or expanding to 24. If the playoff were to expand to 24 teams, he also spoke about the idea of a 10-game conference schedule, rather than the current 9-game schedule. One other topic of note that he discussed was the College Sports Commission. He said that changes need to be made to the CSC. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger discuss all of his comments and look at what each means for the sport. They also preview the SEC spring meetings and discuss what similar conversations will be had there. Later, Andy and Ross check-in on Baton Rogue as a familiar face has returned. Coach Ed Orgeron has returned to LSU to join Lane Kiffin's staff. Coach O is at least the third coach that has come back to LSU after being previously fired within the last decade. The other two are basketball coaches Johnny Jones and Will Wade. The guys discuss how this came to be and what impact it will have on Kiffin's program.

Brendan Sorsby seems to be trying to force a decision from the NCAA sooner rather than later so that he can figure out his future. On Friday, Sorsby requested an expedited decision from the NCAA on his sports gambling case. On Monday, he requested an injunction in a lawsuit against the NCAA to be eligible to play the 2026 season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this evolving situation. They explain everything surrounding it and discuss how likely it is that Sorsby will get an injunction to be able to play. Then, the conversation shifts to Washington D.C. where the much discussed SCORE Act seems to have been defeated. In its place is a new bill that is being worked on in the Senate and is reported to be a bi-partisan bill. Ross explains more information about this bill and the difference between it and the SCORE Act. The guys discuss if it will ever see the light of day. Later, the College Sports Commission has been a heavily discussed topic since its inception. Now the sports' two biggest brands are clashing with the CSC. Over $100 million in NIL contracts for the Big Ten and the SEC remain uncleared and the tensions are growing by the day. Could this be a boiling point for the Big Ten and the SEC to split from the NCAA? Plus, Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard made headlines when he said, "Let ‘em break away. I would turn it around and say we should break away from them." Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss Pollard's comments, if the Big Ten and SEC breaking away is realistic and what kind of chaos that would create.

The ACC spring meetings have wrapped up and Commissioner Jim Phillips shared his and the ACC's support of a 24-team playoff. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss his reasoning behind wanting such a drastic expansion and how much impact this stance has on playoff expansion moving forward.

Andy and Godfrey also discuss Commissioner Phillips' idea of a universal tiebreaker system across all conferences. Then, Andy and Godfrey look to the upcoming season. Some kickoff times for various games in the 2026 season were announced this week. The guys discuss what they think of the matchups and which they are most looking forward to. College Gameday's locations have been announced for the first two weeks of the season. Although Week 3 has not been announced, it is widely assumed that Lane Kiffin and LSU's trip to Ole Miss will be the location of Week 3's College Gameday. Andy and Godfrey talk about what may happen in Oxford that weekend. They also look at what has been released for Thanksgiving weekend's slate of games.  Later, neutral site games are the topic of choice. Florida State and Georgia have announced they will play a neutral site game in 2028 after they previously cancelled their home-and-home series. Andy and Godfrey talk about what they think of the switch to a neutral site game and they share their thoughts on neutral site games in general.  All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Commissioner Jim Phillips & ACC support 24-team playoff 12:26 - SEC remains lone conference to not support 24 teams 21:47 - Commissioner Phillips' universal tiebreaker 29:12 - Kickoff times released 29:59 - LSU at Ole Miss 32:12 - Clemson at LSU 32:21 - Ohio State at Texas 32:42 - Oklahoma at Michigan 33:33 - Colorado at Georgia Tech 33:44 - Miami at Stanford 34:51 - Baylor vs. Auburn 36:14 - Louisville at Ole Miss 36:29 - SMU at Florida State 41:56 - Florida at Florida State 42:18 - Texas at Texas A&M 42:39 - Ole Miss at Mississippi State 43:50 - Michigan at Ohio State 44:08 - TCU vs. North Carolina 44:13 - Virginia vs. NC State 44:26 - Other notable games 45:56 - Florida State vs. Georgia neutral site game announcement 53:13 - Thoughts on neutral site games Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

The ruling is in and it's a big one for the College Sports Commission. 18 Nebraska athletes lost their battle against the CSC. The athletes had challenged the CSC's ruling of rejected NIL deals. However, there is a catch. Ross Dellenger shares that Bryan Seely, the College Sports Commission's CEO, explained that these athletes can still get their NIL deals approved by submitting their deals a different way. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation and the group discusses the impact of this ruling and what it means for the future of the CSC. Then, Ross' Congressional Minute returns as he gives the latest update on the SCORE Act. The guys dive into some of the changes that have been made to the SCORE Act. Most notably, they look at the Lane Kiffin rule and rules surrounding coaching salaries and buyouts? The Lane Kiffin rule prevents coaches from talking to other schools about a job while in season. The crew discusses if any of the rules could actually be implemented and alternative solutions to these issues.  Later, one of the biggest stories in college football is the recent Lane Kiffin article in Vanity Fair. The guys discuss the reasoning behind why Kiffin would do an article like this and they talk about his comments regarding Ole Miss and racism issues on that campus. They also discuss if Greg Sankey is losing his grip on the SEC.

The future of college football is changing. This is nothing new, but what is new is the support coming from coaches about future changes to the sport. The American Football Coaches Association voted to support some seismic rule changes including a 24-team playoff, ending conference championship games, finishing the college football season by the second week in January and more. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the impact all of this would have and if it is good for the sport. They also revisit how we got to this point, what has to happen for this all to get approved and what the next steps in the process are. Then, Ross' Congressional Minute returns with an update on everything going on with legislation regarding college sports. A bi-partisan bill appears to have a chance to come from the Senate, but any legislation that has a chance of passing must start there. Ross explains how close that is to being a reality and the impact that would come from it. Plus, Godfrey tells about a recent article in which the horse racing industry warns against government oversight in college sports.  Later, as the guys continue to look at the potential of a 24-team playoff, they reflect on how the past two seasons could have been different if we were already at a 24-team model. Would Notre Dame have won last year's title? What if the hectic end of Michigan's season last year had been during a playoff run? What would the future of USC and Vanderbilt look like had they been playoff teams last season? Would Lane Kiffin have left for LSU if he had made the playoff in back-to-back seasons at Ole Miss? Plus, what future impact could a 24-team format have on the sport?

College football Saturdays could look a lot different in the future if streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video start to get involved. The groundwork is already being laid in college basketball as Ross Dellenger shares his report of Duke men's basketball's deal to have a select few of their games stream on Amazon Prime Video. This deal was cleared by the ACC and ESPN, but one of those games is against Michigan, and the Big Ten is fighting back as they claim they own the broadcasting rights to the game this season. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation as they look at what the greater impact of this could be. How could this change how people watch college football, and will the cable networks be able to fight off the streaming services? Then, the guys narrow the focus to a particular college football team in Westwood. UCLA appears to have turned a new leaf under new head coach Bob Chesney. They have already landed nine four-star recruits in this recruiting cycle, something they haven't done in a decade. They also have a Top-12 ranked class depending on what site you look at. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what is going on at UCLA and if this turnaround is sustainable. They also preview how they think UCLA might perform this season. Later, the crew takes a look at backup quarterback situations around the country. Texas Tech's quarterback predicament got the guys wondering who may have the best QB room in the country and how have those rooms developed into what they are?

The Big 12 has officially become the first conference to agree to a private equity deal in college football. Ross Dellenger explains the new deal with RedBird Capital and what this will mean for the teams in the conference. Teams can get over $30 million, but whether they will choose to is the question. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation to discuss if this decision makes sense and what the greater impact is. Plus, Ross shares a report on the College Sports Commission (CSC) Participation Agreement. It still has not been signed, but multiple conferences are inching closer to signing the contract. The guys break down what this would mean for college athletics. Then, the guys move the discussion to the performance of one specific team. In the recent 2026 NFL Draft, Clemson had nine draft picks. In the 2025-2026 season, Clemson only had seven wins. What does this massive underachievement say about the state of the program? Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss if this season could be Dabo Swinney's last as the Tigers' head coach. This discussion leads to a fascinating conversation about NIL. So many NIL contract numbers for college athletes are tossed out in the media without actual confirmation. In contrast, everyone knows what every NFL player is making and the length of his contract. These sports handle this information differently, but would it benefit college to adopt that NFL model? The guys discuss. Later, Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss a recent coaches photo. The NFL gets a coaches photo every year and it is the topic of conversation for at least a day. Coincidentally, college football got a similar version of that this year. The Southern Company Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament was recently held and there were 26 current and former head college football coaches there. The guys break down this group photo and discuss whom they would want to golf with the most.

Shocking news dropped Monday when it was announced that Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team and entering rehab for a gambling addiction. Additionally, he is being investigated by the NCAA for gambling. Sorsby was one of the top quarterbacks in the transfer portal this offseason, and he transferred from Cincinnati to Texas Tech just months ago. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the events that unfolded and where both Sorsby and Texas Tech go from here. What is Tech's answer at quarterback? Will Sorsby play college football again? Does this jeopardize his chance at the NFL? Then, the NCAA continues to pursue some rule changes that could go into effect as early as next year. Ross Dellenger gives an update on the status of the new five-for-five rule that would eliminate redshirts. He also shares details about an additional rule regarding tampering that is trying to be buried into the proposal. This one is a bit more controversial. Andy and Godfrey join Ross to discuss both of these proposed rules. Later, the NFL draft is officially over, but what did it reveal about college football? The guys discuss how the draft can be used as a test for which conference is actually the strongest in college football. Plus, they also talk about the complaints that NIL is ruining the draft and other notable takeaways from the weekend.

It's draft day! The 2026 NFL Draft is here, but by the time you are listening to this, the draft may be well underway. So, rather than give you more coverage of this year's draft, Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey took a look ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft. A year ago, the 2026 quarterback class was being touted as a very strong class. That shine has dulled significantly, to the point of only one or two quarterbacks going in the first round. Enter the 2027 hype. Oregon's Dante Moore, Texas' Arch Manning, Notre Dame's CJ Carr and Ohio State's Julian Sayin are a few of the names that headline what appears to be a loaded class. The guys discuss if this class will suffer the same results as the 2026 class or if there is a lot more to look forward to? They also discuss topics such as: Is there a chance that Jeremiah Smith could be drafted first overall? Does Arch and Texas' success this season determine the future of Steve Sarkisian in Austin? Will the Mannings control where Arch lands in the NFL like they did with Eli? All of this and so much more as they look ahead to the coming college football season and draft to follow. Then, the CFP meetings have finally wrapped up and Ross has more updates to discuss. While there were no decisions made, there was plenty of news and important information to take from the week. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss everything that happened during the CFP meetings and what this means moving forward for both the CFP and the future of college football. Later, did you know that USC's championship window is now open? According to Lincoln Riley, that is the case. The guys discuss the USC head coach's comments and take a look at what this season holds for the Trojans? Does missing the CFP this season spell the end of Riley's tenure in Southern California?

Double the size of the playoff? The proposal from the Big Ten, that felt unrealistic months ago, now appears to be a real possibility. Ross Dellenger is at the CFP meetings this week and reports significant momentum behind expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams. When, or if, this will happen is still to be determined. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss the impact of such a massive expansion and how the conversation has gotten to this point.  Then, Ross shares some more information coming from the administration side of college athletics. The College Sports Commission is being challenged for being too restrictive on the deals athletes can sign. The guys discuss how they saw this coming from the start and what may happen as a result.  Later, it's time to have some draft conversations. The 2026 NFL draft is on Thursday and there have been mixed reviews about this draft class. The quarterback class is viewed as relatively weak, but Andy and Godfrey debate if that is in fact the case. Then, they discuss players who are being undervalued in this 2026 draft. From LSU's Harold Perkins Jr. to Iowa's Logan Jones to Navy's Eli Heidenreich, who are some sleepers that could make a big impact on NFL rosters?

"I will never apologize for winning an SEC title." Those were Kirby Smart's words recently. In an era where conference championship success pales in comparison to College Football Playoff success, is this thinking the way of the past? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss if Georgia is underachieving and should be concerned with its future. Is it possible Georgia's new ceiling is an SEC title? The guys don't think so. Then, Ross Dellenger gives the latest update on the rule that would eliminate redshirts. Last week, Ross reported this news for the first time. Since then, there has already been movement. While an actual decision has not yet been reached, the latest development is whether or not seniors, who recently thought they had finished their collegiate careers, could get one more season if they had never redshirted. This creates a complicated scenario with the NFL Draft right around the corner and college basketball's transfer portal in full swing. The crew discusses what may happen as a result and if the transfer portal could reopen? Later, Louisiana Tech has finally straightened out its 20-game schedule. Tech had planned to leave Conference USA for the Sun Belt, but Conference USA had already included them in next year's conference football schedule. At the same time, the Sun Belt had done the same since they were expecting them to join this fall. A resolution has finally been reached which will see Louisiana Tech pay a hefty exit fee to Conference USA. The guys discuss everything that happened in the situation. Plus, there's a new special teams rule that has the coaches up in arms. Andy breaks down what is going on. All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Is Georgia underperforming in the NIL era? 21:32 - The latest update on eliminating redshirts. 37:16 - Louisiana Tech's 20-game schedule 45:29 - The latest special teams rule change Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Spring ball is in full swing, and it's getting fan bases everywhere excited for fall. Today, Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey look at the top six storylines coming out of spring ball from all around the country. The guys start in SEC country where there are some big quarterback battles going on. In Tuscaloosa, redshirt freshman Keelon Russell is battling redshirt junior Austin Mack. Mack came to Alabama from Washington with Kalen DeBoer, but Russell has been turning heads this spring and seemed to take a big step over the weekend. In Gainesville, new Florida head coach Jon Sumrall has a QB battle of his own going on. The guys discuss this and the first impression Sumrall has left on the Gator faithful. They also talk about his recruiting success and the support he is initially receiving amongst the fan base. Then, the crew shifts the conversation to Michigan. The Wolverines are another team with a new head coach this year. Kyle Whittingham is running the show after stepping down at Utah. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss Whittingham's immediate impact and how good they think Michigan could be this year. Plus, they take a look at Houston and head coach Willie Fritz. Not only do they look at what Houston's third season under Fritz may look like, but they also discuss the impact of the Big 12's Friday games. Later, the guys dive into two other notable stories in college football. One is a huge change in Cal athletics. Cal announced they will be firing over 20 staffers from marketing, athletic communications and creative services. In their place, Cal is creating Strawberry Creek Studios. The crew discusses the potential impact of this on the greater college landscape and why this is also a unique situation. Plus, Memphis has announced a jersey patch sponsor. FedEx will be sponsoring Memphis and Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss this new deal.

No more redshirts? Goodbye medical waivers? That is what the NCAA is proposing. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey dive in and discuss the proposed five year eligibility rule. This would eliminate both redshirts and medical waivers, allowing athletes to compete for up to five years starting at their high school graduation or 19th birthday. The guys discuss whether this proposal is a good solution for college athletics or if it will create more issues moving forward?  Then, Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at what else from the President's executive order could actually go into effect in the NCAA. The eligibility rules may have a chance, but could something like a one-time transfer rule or shifting of the transfer portal be put into place in the future? The guys discuss. Later, the crew narrows the focus from the broad NCAA to one school. Miami recently received a verbal commitment from Rivals' third ranked quarterback of the 2027 class. The Hurricanes have been a school, of late, who has focused on bringing in transfer quarterbacks each year. Could this recent commitment show a change in Miami's future QB model? May teams start to shift away from transfer portal quarterbacks? The guys discuss this and debate whether a team can win a national championship today with a homegrown quarterback.

As the evolution of college football continues to move forward, another voice has been heard from. This one is from the South. Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne has called for the end of the SEC championship game. "I think the ship has sailed," were some of the Alabama AD's words. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss Byrne's comments and how he is saying what many others have either said or thought. If the end of the conference championship games is in fact near, how would this impact the College Football Playoff? The guys discuss the potential impact and what could be substituted in for conference championship games that the fans would enjoy even more! Then, we keep it in the South as Andy and Godfrey discuss if there should be concern about the Southeastern Conference. March Madness has officially concluded. Two Big Ten teams won the men's and women's tournaments: Michigan and UCLA respectively. That means it was a clean sweep by the Big Ten with national titles for football, men's basketball and women's basketball. It is the first time in nine years the SEC hasn't won at least one of those titles and the first time in 25 years that they have gone three straight years without a football national championship. Although that may not seem like a huge deal, the weight of this drought feels heavier for a conference that was seen by some as the pinnacle for many years. The guys chat about if the SEC is actually collapsing and how this era should be viewed. There's no way we make it through an episode without some legislative talk, even with Ross out for the day. On Friday, President Trump issued an executive order addressing various issues in college athletics. Andy and Godfrey discuss how important this order is and if it will lead to any real impact or change in college athletics. Hint: if you have been listening to this show then you probably already know the answer.  Stay up-to-date on all things college football with College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Alabama AD calls for end of SEC title game 18:18 - Replacing conference champ games w/ CFP play-ins 26:17 - SEC collapse? 33:00 - NIL impact on the SEC 52:44 - Impact of Trump's executive order Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

It is six months until October, but the NCAA already has us talking about ghosts. They have introduced the latest rule change in college athletics and it is regarding 'ghost transfers.' The new rule impacts transfers who go to another school outside of the transfer portal window. If they then play for the new school, that school will be subject to a six-game suspension of their head coach and a fine of 20% of their budget. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the NCAA's latest rule and what type of impact it will have on the college football landscape. How long will it be until this rule is challenged in court? Then, we move from the field to the court as Ross reports on the potential expansion of the NCAA tournament. The guys discuss not only how this would affect one of the best, if not the best, tournaments in all of sports, but how this could carry-over to impact the College Football Playoff as well. Will we start to see non-Power 4 teams eliminated from these postseason tournaments? Could a combination of rights deals between these tournaments be the future? The guys discuss all of this and more. Later, one of the biggest players in both the men's and women's NCAA tournaments is struggling off of the court. Although UConn is having immense success in basketball, the continuance of remaining an independent in football is creating issues financially. They do not have the same pull as their independent counterpart, Notre Dame, and therefore only receive a very tiny piece of the revenue pie. The guys discuss the decision that UConn faces and the simplest solution of just joining a conference.  Get caught up on your college sports news on today's College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Explaining the new 'ghost transfer' rule 8:30 - What is the fallout from this new rule? 26:18 - Potential expansion of the NCAA tournament 32:07 - How does expansion impact college football? 42:02 - Does UConn football need to join a conference?

March Madness is nearing its end, and it lived up to the name on Sunday. One similarity between the final four teams in the NCAA tournament and the final four teams in the College Football Playoff is that half of the field is from the Big Ten Conference. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss why the Big Ten is having so much success in the postseason. They also discuss why the SEC, which has no teams left in the NCAA tournament, is struggling in the postseason. Is the Big Ten the more dominant power conference? Is money the only factor that has leveled the playing field, or is there more to the change in power? Then, the conversation shifts to a team that is in the SEC. Lane Kiffin spoke to the media recently and asked the LSU faithful to have patience while he rebuilds LSU into the team that they all desire. The guys discuss how realistic patience is from the Tigers' fan base. In an era of yearly roster reconstruction via the transfer portal, should immediate success be expected? Will Kiffin be able to succeed quickly in Baton Rouge? Later, the guys talk about the College Football Playoff selection committee getting some new, and familiar, faces. With a few members' terms up, former Cal and Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford and former Auburn and UCF head coach Gus Malzahn will be a couple of the new members joining the committee.

In December of 2025, Kyle Whittingham and Utah football parted ways. Just two weeks later he was announced as the new head coach of Michigan. Now more details have come out about the truth of what happened in Salt Lake City that led to this separation. On Friday, Ross Dellenger released an article about this which included the release of documents from Utah regarding the separation. He explains exactly what went down behind the scenes. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the discussion about how the legendary Utah coach became the new head man at Michigan. Plus, they discuss why naming a head coach-in-waiting is always a bad idea. Then, the guys dive into a story coming out of the SEC. Multiple SEC teams have reduced how much they are spending on recruiting by the millions. Is this strictly because teams are more focused on paying players now, or is there more to the story? Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss where all this money is going and what else has led to a de-emphasis on recruiting budgets. Later, the crew discusses if college football is hurting March Madness. The first weekend of March Madness is in the books, and it is another year with no Cinderellas making it past the opening weekend.

The world of college football remains unpredictable, but one of the craziest events during the 2025 season was Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss, in the middle of a playoff run, to go to LSU. Now, there may be a rule being put into the SCORE Act to prevent that from happening in the future. It is aptly called the "Lane Kiffin Rule." Ross Dellenger explains all the details behind this rule. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join in to discuss their thoughts. They also talk about the topic of how important head coaches are in the NIL era of college football? Then, you may have thought the drama had ended with Trinidad Chambliss, but that is not the case. Chambliss was a finalist to be on the cover of EA Sports College Football 27, but he was informed that it would be too risky to put him on the cover. He is now blaming the NCAA's opposition to his eligibility as the reason he will not be on the cover and is seeking damages. Andy, Ross and Godfrey chat about this whole situation and also discuss who they think may end up on the cover. Later, the guys create a very different type of bracket. We are now in the thick of March Madness, so naturally the guys have to create some type of bracket. This bracket is focused on tampering. The concept is what a bracket of coaches would look like if coaches were allowed to fight each other over tampering. The guys discuss who may be a surprising top seed and who else could make the field.

As spring ball continues on, Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at Indiana's magical run last season and discuss the looming question in college football: Who could be the next Indiana? What determines if a team can be considered Indiana-like and who might some of those teams be? Could Texas Tech be set up to be the next team up? What about another Big Ten team, Kentucky or SMU? Andy, Ross and Godfrey talk about all of these options and more. Then, they shift over to March Madness and how it could affect the football world. The crew was very impressed with how Keith Gill, the chairman of the selection committee, explained the committee's choices. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss how Commissioner Gill, or someone like him, should be put in place to answer questions and give some transparency with how the CFP committee makes its decisions. They also talk about how the CFP having so many shows leading up to the final bracket does more harm than help. Plus, Ross shares the potential of the NCAA tournament bracket expanding even more and how public sentiment is against this just as much as it is against a 24-team CFP bracket. Then, they revisit the SEC discussing if they should just make and enforce their own rules as a conference rather than going by the rules of the NCAA. The crew talks about how horrible this idea is and why it would lead to the end of the SEC. Also, they talk more about tampering rules in college football.

A time when fans' excitement and anticipation grows to see what their team will look like for the upcoming season. It is also the time when the heaters begin to turn on under some coaches' seats.

Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey react to the discussion that was had on Friday and they discuss what they think should happen moving forward.  Then, the guys discuss Ohio State president Ted Carter's resignation.

Changes may be coming to the future of college football's postseason. No, not for the CFP yet, but these changes are directly related to that. The changes are for the rest of the bowl season. Ross Dellenger shares his report about a potential re-worked plan for the bowl season that would include just 10 bowls between FBS teams. This also hinges on the final decision about the size of the College Football Playoff. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation as the group discusses if this would be a good move for college football and how exactly it would all work.  Then, the newest accessory to college football uniforms is picking up steam. 2026 will be the first season that schools can wear brand sponsored jersey patches, and the latest patch was just revealed. Arkansas is partnering with Tyson Foods and will be donning a Tyson logo on their jersey. The guys discuss how these deals could end up being very lucrative, for both schools and athletes, and how this concept sets some schools up for success while potentially causing other schools to panic. Andy, Ross and Godfrey share who they think would be some good partners for various schools. Plus, Ross reports on the latest news from the College Sports Commission that could be worth millions. Later, the crew discusses an alarming trend in college football. There continues to be a mass exodus of assistant coaches jumping from college to the NFL. Following the 2025 season, at least 33 coaches have left for roles in the NFL, and the main reason is the drain that college football is putting on the coaches.

The Tennessee Volunteers will have a new quarterback for the 2026 season. Joey Aguilar lost his case for another year of eligibility, so now the focus shifts to the highly touted recruits. The battle will be between redshirt freshman George MacIntyre and incoming freshman Faizon Brandon. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what the quarterback position may look like for the Vols in 2026. They also dive into the evolution of quarterback development in college football. What was once a recruit and develop process has seemingly shifted into just grabbing a quarterback from the transfer portal, but how long can that trend be successful? Are teams starting to shift back to focusing on recruiting young talent? Then, the guys dive into some news that has the potential to cause a big shift in the college football calendar. Army head coach Jeff Monken has said they could be open to moving the Army-Navy game to Thanksgiving weekend. This is a big piece of the puzzle that people have tried to navigate when looking at how the college football calendar could be rearranged. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the impact of this suggestion, how it could work and what it would do for college football. Later, the crew discusses how a recent college football awards banquet turned into a comedy club. Mario Cristobal and Kirby Smart took the stage at the Steve Spurrier Awards dinner the other night.

The NCAA has issued a threat to schools among the recent rise of court cases arguing for additional eligibility. The threat is to impose the Rule of Restitution. This was created in 1975 to allow the NCAA to punish a school or athlete if the preliminary injunction, which that athlete competed under, was overturned. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the NCAA issuing this threat and what may be the fallout. They also dive into the discussion that the SEC had about the conferences self-governing rather than the NCAA being the governing body. Is the NCAA's power dwindling enough for it to not be necessary anymore? Then, after the recent discussion about former Nebraska AD, Bill Moos, saying he wanted to move Nebraska back to the Big 12, Andy got to thinking about who were the winners and losers from all of the realignment in the 2010s. This led to him ranking what teams made the best move during that era of realignment. The crew discusses the list and what were some of the issues and casualties that came with it. Later, the guys revisit a conversation from the beginning of the show. When discussing court cases, Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar, and his case was discussed. This led to the point that many Tennessee fans want one of the two five-star quarterbacks on the roster to be the Vols' QB this year instead. The guys discuss how Tennessee should go about deciding this and what the future of player development looks like. Is there a way that a "minor league" could be created out of schools in the Group of Six?

The college football landscape never stops moving, shifting and changing. The latest change is yet another drastic move of conference realignment. Sacramento State is leaving the FCS to join the FBS as they will now become a part of the MAC. Yes, the team in California is joining the Mid-American Conference. Ross Dellenger explains why Sac State is making this move and what other avenues they pursued. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation and react to this decision. The conversation evolves to the broader landscape of conference realignment. The guys discuss why so many of these drastic shifts are being made and what type of change to the college football landscape they see coming in the future. Then, the guys dive into a couple of notable eligibility court cases. Trinidad Chambliss will be a Rebel for one more season after a judge in the Mississippi state court granted an injunction to give Chambliss one more season of eligibility. The guys compare the Chambliss situation to other court cases of the past and they contrast it with the Joey Aguilar case in Tennessee. At the time of this recording, we have yet to get a ruling on Aguilar. Plus, the crew shares some of the very unique events that happened at the courthouse during the Chambliss ruling. Later, Andy, Ross and Godfrey revisit a topic from the previous episode. Recently, a fan of Mr. Beast proposed the idea of Mr. Beast donating $100 million to East Carolina University to try to win them a National Championship. Andy was convinced that wouldn't do much, but Godfrey said he does not feel the same way. The crew discusses the feasibility of this, how small schools could make a big jump with a large cash infusion and what additional power ECU would have by having Mr. Beast behind them.

Former Nebraska AD, Bill Moos, has released a 697 page memoir titled Crab Creek Chronicles: From the Wheat Fields to the Ball Fields and Beyond. In it are some very interesting takeaways about his time at Nebraska. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss some of the more notable stories he shares. The most notable, and surprising, story is about Moos' regret of Nebraska joining the Big Ten conference and his interest in leaving the Big Ten to return to the Big 12. That, of course, did not end up happening. Moos also shares how he was forced into hiring Scott Frost even though he did not think he was right for the job. The guys share their opinions and takeaways from these, and other, stories from the book. Then, Andy, Ross and Godfrey go from looking at the past to looking into the future. The Pac-12 Conference is back and they have released their 2026 schedule. The most notable part is the unique approach to their Week 13 games. The conference currently only has eight football teams. That means there are only seven games to be held during an eight-game conference schedule. The Pac-12's unique approach for the eighth game, in Week 13, is the creation of a flex week. There are currently four games scheduled, with home teams being already designated, but the conference is reserving the right to swap opponents up to six days before the matchup. They are saying they will choose the matchups based off of what is best for the conference. Presumably this means creating the most advantageous schedule for a potential CFP bid. The guys discuss the impact of this and what the ripple effects could be. What would this look like in other conferences, and could this potentially change the landscape of college football scheduling? Later, Ross shares the latest update in the world of revenue sharing. He discusses his most recent article about how programs are far exceeding the revenue share cap and what the "real" rev-share cap is for the top programs. Andy and Godfrey join in as they react to the new world of revenue sharing, that may be far more expensive than people realize, and they all discuss how this is going to continue to evolve going forward.

There will be a new face in the FBS for the 2026 season as FCS powerhouse North Dakota State is making the leap. The 10-time FCS National Champions will be joining the Mountain West Conference. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss if they think this is the right move for the Bison. The guys chat about what exactly the team is giving up to make this move, what they have to gain, and if they think North Dakota State can be successful. Plus, they also discuss the latest in the Charles Bediako case. He is no longer eligible to play for Alabama after a judge denied his most recent injunction request. Andy and Godfrey discuss what this means going forward. Then, the guys take a quick look at the NFL in comparison to college football. Sam Darnold culminated his redemption story with a Super Bowl ring this season. Once the third pick in the NFL Draft for the New York Jets, Darnold struggled for much of his career. After being a back-up in San Francisco, he found success as a starter for the Minnesota Vikings and now is a Super Bowl champion with the Seattle Seahawks. Andy and Godfrey look at the college landscape and discuss if there are any transfer quarterbacks that may have a similar redemption story in 2026.  Later, the guys continue to look at the transfer quarterbacks, but through a different lens. Last episode, Godfrey compared Fernando Mendoza to a certified, pre-owned Honda. This was meant as a compliment. Now, they look at the transfer quarterbacks for 2026 and compare seven QBs to used cars.

In the new world of college football there may be just as much action in the courtroom as there is on the field. The latest trend is if you want another season in college, after your eligibility is up, take it to the courtroom! The two most recent cases of that are Trinidad Chambliss and Joey Aguilar. Both of whom are waiting to see if they get an injunction that will allow them to play in the 2026 season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey explain both of these cases and update everyone with where the cases are in the process. They also take a look at the schools these quarterbacks are looking to go back to. Both schools have 5-star QBs waiting in the wings, which leads to the question: in the transfer portal era, are 5-star QBs better off going to a smaller school to play right away and transferring later? Then, the guys get into some more College Football Playoff conversation. The CFP released the 2026 & 2027 schedule for the quarterfinals, semifinals and championship game. In 2026, the playoff spans over 39 days. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the ludicrous schedule. They also talk about a potential savior being the NFL. With the NFL now owning a stake in ESPN, will they help out college football's scheduling to make it a better product? Later, Andy shares the results of his homework assignment. Last episode, the guys discussed how weak Week 1 is to start the 2026 season. Andy shares his plan of how to move Oklahoma and Michigan to Week 1 to inject some energy into the opening weekend slate of games.

32 head coaches will be coaching new teams in 2026. Who among them will be the most successful? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey breakdown who among the hires will be the most successful immediately. They discuss the youth movement in college football and how teams may be shifting priorities of what they look for in a head coach. Plus, there were not many coordinators hired in this most recent coaching cycle. Will that trend change in the future, and does that depend on the success of the coordinators who did land head coaching roles this year? Whether your team has a new head coach or not, hope springs eternal in the offseason for everyone. When Week 1 roles around, the sports world is excited and ready to roll. Unfortunately for Week 1 of the 2026 season, there are not many marquee matchups for fans to look forward to.

Did Miami find a loophole in NIL? We have had many discussions on Darian Mensah's journey from Duke to Miami in the last couple of weeks, but not much of the talk has been focused on the Hurricanes. Steven Godfrey returns to join Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger as they discuss how Miami may have found a way around player buyouts in college football. Are we closer to getting clear buyouts written in player contracts? Plus, do schools in states with no income tax have an advantage in NIL? The guys discuss. Then, they shift from players to coaches. The college football schedule is always a topic of debate, but the group most negatively affected by the current nonsensical schedule is the coaches. Many people may not feel bad for the head coaches making millions, but it's all of the other coaches who really take on the biggest burden of the schedule. The dichotomy between the quality of life of college coaches versus coaches in the NFL has many coaches jumping ship to take a chance in the National Football League. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss how tough this schedule can be, and why the NFL model is more manageable for coaches. Plus, they discuss ways that the college football schedule can improve and also be more prevalent throughout the calendar year. Later, they guys discuss the biggest news in the football world. Bill Belichick was not named a first ballot Hall of Famer. Many people have expressed shock and outrage by this omission. Andy poses a question to the group. Did Belichick's struggles at North Carolina have a negative effect on his Hall of Fame candidacy? The guys discuss the situation.

Regardless of the time of year, the drama in college football never takes a break. One of the on-going stories that Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger have been following has finally come to a resolution. Darian Mensah and Duke have come to a settlement that allows Mensah to officially be in the portal and transfer to what is presumed to be Miami. Andy and Ross discuss how the sides finally came to a resolution and if athletes, much like the coaches, should have preexisting buyouts in their contracts. They also chat about some of the other notable court cases in college athletics as they share updates on Trinidad Chambliss and Charles Bediako's cases. Then, they dive into the big news from over the weekend. During a press conference last Friday, Dabo Swinney called out Pete Golding for tampering. This all started when former Cal linebacker, Luke Ferelli, signed with Clemson and enrolled in classes. Just before the portal closed, however, he decided to re-enter the portal to sign with Ole Miss after Golding had directly reached out to Ferelli with lucrative NIL offers. The guys discuss if they think anything will happen from Swinney reporting this to the NCAA, and what Swinney's end goal may actually have been. Might a collective bargaining agreement with the players be just around the corner as administrators try to figure out how to police the wild world of college sports? Later, Ross discusses a story he reported Tuesday morning. That story is about a potential rule change to targeting for next season. He explains that the way targeting is enforced is being reviewed and may be changed within the next couple of months. The guys discuss their thoughts on the potential shift and what the best way would be to enforce it.

It is officially the offseason, unfortunately, but just because the confetti has been cleaned up does not mean the conversations about the CFP have stopped. In fact it is quite the opposite. The difference is these conversations are not about what is happening on the field. The debate continues to rage on as commissioners discuss potential expansion of the CFP. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger discuss what happened in the meetings that were held in the week leading up to the National Championship. The Big Ten and the SEC seem to be at an impasse of how much they want the College Football Playoff to expand. With the deadline fast approaching, no decision appears in sight. Ross explains why these two commissioners hold all the power for this decision. Then, the guys shift from one hot button topic to the next. The transfer portal. Specifically one athlete. Darian Mensah. The Duke quarterback has officially entered the transfer portal even though he has a signed NIL contract with Duke. The Blue Devils are suing Mensah to prevent him from leaving. It is expected he will head to Miami to be their new quarterback. Andy and Ross discuss the differences between this situation and the one with Demond Williams and Washington. They share why it seems like Mensah has a good chance to win this case and how schools can prevent these situations in the future. Plus, they dive into Adidas' potential impact in this situation and their overall aggressive handling of NIL. Also, Duke wide receiver Cooper Barkate has entered the portal as well, with Miami being a favorite to land him too. Later, the big news in college athletics is no longer about football. It is over in the college basketball world as Charles Bediako has temporarily been granted the ability to return to Alabama basketball. There is a hearing next week that will determine whether or not he can return full-time. Bediako previously played at Alabama and entered the 2023 NBA Draft. Although he has never played in an NBA regular season game, he has played on multiple Summer League and G League teams. Andy and Ross discuss Bediako being allowed to play college basketball again and the impact this could have on college athletics.  The season is over but the news never stops with College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Will the CFP expand further? 15:40 - Why the Big Ten & SEC hold all the power 27:44 - Duke sues Darian Mensah 37:48 - Adidas' impact in the NIL space 44:08 - Duke WR Cooper Barkate to transfer 49:23 - Charles Bediako returns to Alabama 53:43 - How Bediako could impact college sports Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey join each other in Miami and discuss how the Hoosiers came away with the win.  Then, the guys discuss Nick Saban’s comments from Monday night. On GameDay, Nick Saban made the claim that NIL is the only reason the Big Ten has been successful recently. The crew reacts to Saban's comments. They also look at how Curt Cignetti turned this Indiana program into a national champion in just two seasons. Is Indiana the new blueprint for success? How should some of the other coaches around college football feel that Coach Cignetti was able to turn the program around so quickly? Lastly, Andy, Ross and Godfrey talk about the latest drama with the transfer portal. It appears Miami is trying to lure Darian Mensah away from Duke. The problem is that Mensah has a very large NIL deal to be Duke's quarterback, and they do not appear willing to let him out of it. The guys explain the whole situation and discuss how they think it might turn out.  Get caught up on College Football with College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Indiana Hoosiers with the National Championship 22:41 - Nick Saban takes a shot at the Big Ten 25:23 - Cignetti's Indiana turnaround 44:13 - Will Darian Mensah be Miami's next QB?

Will playing a home game give the Hurricanes a boost? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey look at the matchup. They discuss what Miami needs to do to pull the upset. Plus, they look at the changing landscape of college football and how a team that was 3-9 in 2023 is now playing for a national championship. Then, they dive deeper into Indiana's turnaround by looking at what Indiana is doing in the NIL space. More specifically, who is helping out with Indiana's NIL. Mark Cuban became the talk of college football after news broke that the Indiana alum is now helping fund the Hoosiers' NIL efforts. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss why people are making such a big deal about this and whether or not teams need to have a significant benefactor, or benefactors, to be relevant in the NIL landscape. Plus, they also look at all of the teams in college football and guess who has the best chance to have a program turnaround similar to Indiana. The guys also discuss a national championship first. This is the first national championship that will feature two teams sponsored by Adidas. They chat about what this means and the difference between Nike and Adidas' efforts in college athletics. Later, the CFP conversation continues, but this time it's a look at the future. The guys talk about the latest news of an expanded College Football Playoff.

We are less than a week away from the National Championship game, but just because there are only two teams left playing does not mean there is a lack of news coming from the teams that are already in their offseason. In fact, it is quite the opposite as the transfer portal is in full swing, and it is chaotic, as usual. Players are transferring left and right, and two premiere quarterbacks have come off of the board. Sam Leavitt has committed to LSU and Dylan Raiola has committed to Oregon. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss both of these quarterbacks. They give their thoughts on what the pairing of Sam Leavitt and Lane Kiffin could be. They also discuss the shift with Dylan Raiola. There has still been no word, at the time of this taping, if Dante Moore is returning to Oregon. If he does, that would mean Raiola would be sitting behind Moore for a year. The guys talk about what impact this could have on Raiola's future.  Then, they look at another quarterback who is potentially off of the board. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson announced that he is leaving Alabama and entering the NFL draft. However, multiple schools are reportedly offering him lucrative NIL deals to stay in college for another year. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss this decision and how finances affect college athletes differently.  Plus, the guys dive into the topic of navigating the NIL "cap". Ross explains the impact that multimedia rights partners have in this situation. They then discuss how revenue sharing, multimedia rights and other NIL funds are used to circumvent the $20 million "cap."

The National Championship Game is set! Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey look ahead to the final matchup of the season by reacting to both semifinal matchups. They first talk about Indiana's dominating performance over Oregon. Will the Hoosiers' execution and talent win them a national title? How does Indiana stack up with the historically dominant national champions of the past? Then, they discuss the much more exciting semifinal matchup that saw Miami come out on top. How can Miami upset Indiana? What kind of advantage will playing in their home stadium create for the Hurricanes? Plus, will Oregon ever win a national championship? Then, the guys look at some things happening off of the field in the college football world. After their loss to Miami, Ole Miss found out that Trinidad Chambliss' request for another year of eligibility has been denied by the NCAA. However, this is not the end of the story as Chambliss will now sue the NCAA for damages spawning from the money he would make in NIL with that additional season. The guys discuss if Chambliss' has a chance in this case, or if there is another motive behind the lawsuit. Finally, the guys look at the madness of the transfer portal. First they discuss the Demond Williams drama. After trying to enter the transfer portal, and Washington refusing to enter his name due his signed contract, Williams has now returned to the Huskies. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what all happened in Seattle. Then, they look at the College Sports Commission's investigation into how schools are writing NIL contracts.

Ross Dellenger explains this story and how there is a chance Trinidad Chambliss is back at Ole Miss next season. Then Ross, Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss Chambliss' effect on the Rebel's this season. They breakdown the semifinal matchup against Miami by discussing who has the advantage and what each team needs to do to move on to the Natty. Then, they move over to the other semifinal. This is a rematch from earlier in the year as Oregon takes on Indiana. Indiana got the best of Oregon in Eugene, but the guys talk about how this is a much different Oregon team than it was in the first matchup. They discuss if Oregon will be able to get the best of this dominant Indiana team or if the Hoosiers will claim their spot in the championship game. Plus, they look at how the Big Ten conference was not given enough credit for the strength of its teams this year.  Later, Ross reports about the college football calendar changing yet again. No more spring ball? Discussions are being had about changes to the early signing period, games in Week 0, CFP dates, the dates of the portal and spring and summer access periods.

Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey explain the importance of the portal and how fans should view it. They also look at programs like Kentucky and Penn State and discuss what fans should expect from their teams in the transfer portal. Plus, they discuss the three different ways teams attack the transfer portal and what version works best. Then, they look at a team whose coaches are caught between the CFP and the transfer portal for a rival school. Andy and Godfrey discuss the on-going drama at Ole Miss and if they expect all of the assistant coaches to continue coaching through the CFP. Will some of them just stay recruiting with Lane Kiffin at LSU rather than going back to Ole Miss? The guys discuss how, although Ole Miss is a unique situation, the concept of CFP coaches pulling double-duty between game prep and recruiting is consistent across all four playoff teams. Plus, Andy and Godfrey take a look at the SEC's poor performance in the postseason. They discuss if the depth in the league is overrated and how the conference should be viewed going forward. Later, the guys take a look at Tulsa's innovative approach to transfer portal recruiting. Tulsa has launched the Portal House. A house they rented out, revamped and are having their coaches live in to use exclusively for recruits. They are also creating their own reality show from it.

Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the final, and most entertaining, game of the quarterfinals that saw #6 Ole Miss take down #3 Georgia. They discuss the heroic effort of quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and how impressive the Rebels have been under new head coach Pete Golding. It is clear that Ole Miss is trying to move past the Lane Kiffin drama, but will Lane Kiffin let that happen? Ross tells us there is a chance the Ole Miss assistant coaches, who will be at LSU next year, may not be with Ole Miss for the remainder of the Playoff. Is Kiffin regretting his decision to leave? Then, the guys look at who Ole Miss will be facing. #10 Miami upset #2 Ohio State and will be moving on to the semis. Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at Miami's impressive performance and their dominance in the trenches. Might they be able to win the whole thing? Then, they look at the other side of the bracket. First, they discuss #1 Indiana's dominating 35-point win over #9 Alabama in the Rose Bowl. Coach Curt Cignetti has his team firing on all cylinders. Godfrey thinks they look like a Nick Saban led Alabama team. Is there anyone that can stop Indiana? Next, they look at #5 Oregon's dominant 23-0 win over #4 Texas Tech. Should the Red Raiders still consider their season a success, and can they keep building for the future? Plus, the guys look ahead to the rematch between Oregon and Indiana? Can the Ducks get revenge for their regular season loss to Indiana, or will the Hoosiers keep rolling towards a National Championship? Later, Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss if this season will have the first, first-time National Champion since 1996. Of the four teams remaining, Miami is the only team that is recognized as having a National Championship. A 75% chance of a first time champ are pretty good odds.

The College Football Playoff Quarterfinals begin tomorrow. For the lone game on New Year's Eve the country will turn its attention to the Cotton Bowl as #10 Miami takes on #2 Ohio State. The meeting is a rematch of a historic national championship game. Times have changed a bit since that meeting, as many of the players in this game had not been born for the previous matchup. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this clash of talent. Could the talent on Miami's roster be enough to keep up with Ohio State, or will the Buckeyes' defense be too much for the Hurricanes to handle? Then, the guys look at the final quarterfinal matchup that they have yet to discuss. #6 Ole Miss takes on #3 Georgia. This is a rematch as well, but this previous matchup was only a couple of months ago. Although the prior matchup was recent, much has changed with one of the programs as Ole Miss now has Pete Golding leading them rather than Lane Kiffin. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what kind of impact that will have on the game and if there is any way that Ole Miss can pull the upset. Then, the crew discusses a bit of college football news as a familiar face returns to the college ranks. Chip Kelly has been hired by Northwestern to be their offensive coordinator. Kelly is coming off of a 2024 national title run with Ohio State followed by a short run with the Las Vegas Raiders in which he was fired mid-season. He was the offensive coordinator on both of those staffs. The guys look at why this is a good hire for Northwestern and what else they need to focus on to be successful. Later, Godfrey asked and the Pop-Tarts Bowl delivered. After Godfrey made it very clear, a few episodes ago, that he wanted one of the care packages the Pop-Tarts Bowl was sending out, a package has arrived.

Michigan has found their man! The Wolverines have named a new head coach. Former Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham will now be the head coach at Michigan. Whittingham stepped down from Utah at the end of this season, but made it very clear he was not done with coaching. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey react to this hire and discuss if they think Whittingham is the right man for the job. Can he succeed immediately at Michigan, and what does immediate success look like?  Then, the guys turn their sights to the upcoming College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchups.

Another piece of college football tradition has been lost due to the changing of the times. On Monday, it was announced that the Notre Dame and USC rivalry will be cancelled as both sides could not reach an agreement to extend the series. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what caused yet another casualty in college football. Is this another move that we can blame on TV networks? Will we ever see this game return? While the schools are now looking for opponents to replace that game, Notre Dame also announced that it is finalizing a two-year deal to face BYU starting in 2026. The crew discusses the matchup that could have had huge CFP implications this season. Then, the guys discuss what non-CFP bowl games they are most interested in.

The first round of the College Football Playoff is in the books. Oregon, Ole Miss, Alabama and Miami move on to the quarterfinal matchups on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. While some of the matchups in the first round this season were more competitive than last year, the lop-sided victories over the Group of Five schools, Tulane and James Madison, have sparked debate on whether there should be G5 schools in the CFP. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey have a heated debate on this topic. Ross Dellenger also joins in as the three discuss what changes should be made for future College Football Playoffs.  Then, they dive deeper into the matchup that saw Alabama come away victorious. The guys discuss all of the talk, leading up to the game, about Kalen DeBoer and if he would be leaving for Michigan or potentially even fired if he lost this game. They also talk about how Alabama handled their early deficit, in contrast to how they played in the SEC title game, and if the Crimson Tide can make a run. Later, the guys discuss the Michigan coaching search and where it is at. DeBoer appears to be out, especially since he is still in the CFP, and now Michigan's rumored other target is off of the table. Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham has signed an extension to stay with the Sun Devils, eliminating him from the Michigan opening. Biff Poggi is the interim head coach. Is there a chance he could become the permanent choice? Some other ideas are tossed out about a coach with the last name Harbaugh and a coach who just stepped down in Utah.  Come get caught up on all things CFP and beyond with College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Recap of the CFP First Round 8:38 - Changes the CFP should make 32:38 - Alabama comes back to beat Oklahoma 46:29 - Update on Michigan's coaching search Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

The time has finally arrived. Twelve regular season games, and the conference championship games, have all led up to this point. After all of the questions, debate, anger and anxiety; the first round of the College Football Playoff begins Friday! The excitement gets started with ninth-seeded Alabama visiting eighth-seeded Oklahoma. A rematch from the regular season in which the Sooners came out on top. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the matchup and what they think both teams need to do to come out victorious. Then, they take a look at another big-time matchup that will see tenth-seeded Miami visit seventh-seeded Texas A&M. They discuss the quick turnaround A&M has made under Mike Elko and how Miami can come away victorious. Also, Godfrey discusses the Group of Five teams deserving a spot in the Playoff and Ross looks at the fourteen coaches who will be coaching in the Playoff despite having accepted a different coaching job for next season.  Then, Ross talks about a story he wrote last year that is coming back to light. The current CFP agreement states that in the 2026 season, the Power 4 conference champions will be guaranteed a spot in the field. It also states that a Top-12 ranked Notre Dame would automatically get a bid. This overlooked and forgotten caveat has become the topic of much debate. The crew discusses its impact and what may come of this agreement if the Playoff is expanded to 16 teams. They also dive into the NFL's impact on the CFP and why some of the premiere college games this weekend are not in the premiere time slots. Later, it's time for I've Got A Feeling.

The transfer portal does not open until January 2nd, but you would not have known that by looking at the news coming from the college football world on Monday. Athletes continue to announce their intentions to enter the transfer portal, and some top quarterbacks will be on the move in a couple of weeks. Florida's DJ Lagway, Nebraska's Dylan Raiola and Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby all announced they will be playing for a different school next season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss who the top available quarterback is and where some of these guys might land. They also discuss NIL's impact on all of this. A common thought is that players are transferring for more money, but are some quarterbacks transferring because they are being forced out of their current NIL contracts? Then, the guys chat about a judge granting Jeremy Pruitt a preliminary injunction against the NCAA. This blocks the six-year show-cause order against Pruitt and moves him one step closer to returning to the sidelines. Jesse Minter also has a show-cause from his time at Michigan, and Pruitt's ruling makes the crew wonder if his show-cause order could get overturned should Michigan look to hire him as their next head coach. In the latest news from the Michigan coaching search, Kalen DeBoer has now said multiple times that he is not leaving Alabama. Although part of the crew is not convinced, the guys discuss who else the Wolverines may look to. Later, Godfrey finally makes his case to save the bowls. The bowl season is a time that used to be cherished by many, but the creation of the College Football Playoff, among other issues, has caused a decline in anticipation and excitement for bowl games. Steven Godfrey turns the bowl season on its head and makes his pitch for how the bowls could be revitalized. Stay caught up on all things college football with College Football Enquirer.

The Midshipmen defeated the Black Knights 17-16 on a late game touchdown pass from Blake Horvath to Eli Heidenreich. Ross was in attendance and shares his experience at the game after the guys share their thoughts on the game. Then, the crew discusses the Big 12's latest news. Last week, Ross shared Utah's news about their private equity deal and the guys said this would open the floodgates. Well, that may be proving to be correct as the Big 12 announced they are close to a private capital deal. Ross shares the story he broke and the crew discusses what the impact of this potential deal could be. Godfrey cautions the risk level of this move. Later, we stay in the Big 12 for some more news. Utah announced that head coach Kyle Whittingham is stepping down. Utah's appearance in the upcoming Las Vegas bowl will be his last game as the leader of the Utes. Defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley has long been Whittingham's heir apparent and will be Utah's new head coach. The guys discuss the timing of this move, if this move will work for Utah and Scalley and if this means that we may see Whittingham coaching elsewhere in the future.

Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore on Wednesday. He was fired with cause for having an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member." The story broke with this news, but continued to evolve and a few hours later it was reported that Moore had been detained by police. Details will continue to come out as more is learned about this situation. Until then, Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey will just look at the football impact of Moore's firing with the big question: Who will be Michigan's next head coach? Signing Day has passed, so Michigan does not need to rush the process of finding their guy. The Transfer Portal opens January 2nd, and it would make sense to want to have a coach in place by that date. Kalen DeBoer is a name that is being rumored, but it is not known if he has any interest. Kenny Dillingham is another name the crew suggests as a good fit. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss who may be a good fit for the Wolverines going forward.

The other big piece of news is there seems to be a groundswell of support to get rid of the weekly College Football Playoff Rankings Show. How would ESPN handle the elimination of this show? Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss how realistic this idea is. Later, it is a big weekend in college football. The biggest individual award in the sport will be given out on Saturday. Indiana's quarterback, Fernando Mendoza,  is the betting favorite to win the Heisman, but the guys think that Vanderbilt's quarterback, Diego Pavia, might make a push to win the award.

We are a couple of days removed from Sunday's College Football Playoff selection, but the drama continues to unfold. Notre Dame is at the center of the conversation as they continue to discuss being left out of the CFP. Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua was on the Dan Patrick show on Monday and said the ACC's handling of the Playoff situation has done "permanent damage to the relationship."

The time has come! The College Football Playoff bracket is set and it came with plenty of drama surrounding the reveal. After a championship Saturday consisting of a now 8-5 Duke team becoming ACC champions and #9 Alabama being dominated by #3 Georgia, the question was raised of who would get the final at-large spots in the Playoff?

Conference championship weekend is here! Spots in the College Football Playoff are on the line, and not just for teams in Power Four conferences. Could we see two Group of Five teams in this year? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey preview what they are most interested in this weekend. First, they preview the matchup between the nation's highest ranked teams. #1 Ohio State faces #2 Indiana for the Big Ten Championship Game.

A win for Tech secures a first round bye, but is there a path for BYU to make the Playoff even with a loss in the title game? One of the guys thinks that may be possible. Lastly, they look at the ACC Championship Game and its impact on the CFP. Duke takes on #17 Virginia. Virginia will make the CFP if they win, but Duke coach Manny Diaz thinks that a 7-5 ACC champion Duke team would also make the field.

The penultimate College Football Playoff rankings have been released, but the picture of who is going to make it in the final field is still unclear.

The drive culminated in an unbelievable catch by Omar Cooper Jr., who barely kept his foot in, to score the eventual game winning touchdown with 36 seconds left. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss if such a close game to a struggling Penn State team should create any room for concern with this Indiana team. Then they dive into the other matchup that came down to the final seconds. This one was a Top 20 matchup in the pouring rain between #9 Oregon and #20 Iowa. The home-team Hawkeyes took the lead late. That set the stage for an impressive final drive by Dante Moore and Oregon to kick a game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining. The guys discuss how they feel about Oregon coming off of this win. They also discuss #8 Texas Tech's dominant win over #7 BYU. How do they feel about the Red Raiders going forward? Plus, is there a legitimate chance the ACC could end up with no teams in the College Football Playoff? Later, Ross reports big news coming out of the Big Ten as their discussion about private equity appears to be nearing a decision. Michigan and USC remain steadfast in their opposition to any deal, but a vote is scheduled for November 21st. If Michigan or USC decide not to sign, the rest of the schools in the Big Ten will move along on the deal without them. What could this mean for the future of not only Michigan, but the entirety of the college football landscape? The guys discuss how this could all potentially play out. Then, they look to Week 12. The final few weeks of the regular season are inching closer, which means each game begins to add a little more pressure. The guys look at games that have huge impacts on both conference and playoff races. #11 Texas visits #5 Georgia, #12 Oklahoma plays #4 Alabama and #10 Notre Dame faces off with #24 Pittsburgh. How could we see the playoff race change after Week 12? The guys discuss all of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.

Week 11 is here and the marquee matchups of the weekend may not be what you expected when the season started. #9 Oregon heads to Iowa City to face #20 Iowa. When Iowa is at home they tend to make life very difficult for the opposing team. The Ducks have seen some struggles since their loss to #2 Indiana and Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey aren't so sure they can come away from Iowa with a win. Iowa's struggles in the past have been on the offensive side, but this year the Hawkeyes have a much improved offensive attack. Are the Ducks on upset alert, or will this be another notch in their belt as they look to make another CFP appearance.  Then, we get an update from Ross' Congressional Minute as he shares the most recent news about the SAFE and Score Acts and explains where this process is trending. Could a resolution be coming sooner than expected? Cody Campbell is a huge player in these discussions. He is also a huge player in the funding of Texas Tech's NIL. #8 Texas Tech hosts #7 BYU on Saturday with the winner taking the lead in the race to the Big 12 Championship Game. Texas Tech has already stumbled once and may not be able to afford another misstep. BYU has looked like the dominant force in the Big 12 this season, but this will be their toughest test yet. Add this pressure on top of the pressure to succeed for the Red Raiders after a highly publicized offseason of NIL spending. The guys discuss this matchup and its impact. Plus, they also chat about the continued messy situation in Baton Rouge with LSU kind of naming a new AD. Later, the guys share their picks for I've Got A Feeling. Iowa, Clemson and Tulane are who the crew is feeling confident in this week. Get ready for Week 11 with College Football Enquirer. (1:00) - Can #20 Iowa upset #9 Oregon?

It is that time of year again! The time when attention shifts away from the AP Poll and moves over to the College Football Playoff rankings. Tuesday, the College Football Playoff committee released the initial rankings for 2025. Ohio State remained at the top followed by Indiana, Texas A&M and Alabama to round out the top four. One of the most notable rankings was that of two teams who played earlier in the year. Miami, who has been struggling as of recently, came in at 18. That fell well behind a team they beat in Notre Dame who is sitting at 10. Also, the Big 12 appears to be in position to get two teams into the playoff, while the ACC looks like it will be a one-team league. Andy Staples, Steven Godfrey and Ross Dellenger discuss all of the drama and voice their thoughts on all of the attention surrounding this first rendition of the rankings. Plus, the guys take a look at what the bracket would look like if the playoff started today! Later, the guys discuss the top team in the country. The Ohio State Buckeyes. Such a dominant season has not created much drama to talk about for this team, however Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at just how dominant they have been. Is this success due to a lackluster schedule, or is this team on a path to another national title? On the flip side, could the lack of competition hinder Ohio State in the long run as they go on to face far more difficult competition in the College Football Playoff? And, what about their hated rivals, the Michigan Wolverines? Is this the year Ohio State can snap the four-game losing streak, or will Michigan prevail once again? Then, the guys take a look at a team who had similar expectations as Ohio State in the preseason, but their season has gone far differently. The Clemson Tigers. Dabo Swinney’s team has struggled tremendously this season and it appears that Swinney’s method of coaching may not be holding up in the new era of college football. Is this the beginning of the end for Swinney at Clemson? Should Dabo move on from coaching or just move on from Clemson? Are there similarities between his situation and Nick Saban’s before Saban retired? All of this and more on today’s College Football Enquirer.

Week 8 is here, and with just over half of the season gone, there is already a matchup with playoff implications on the line. #13 Notre Dame plays host to #20 USC for another chapter of this storied rivalry. With Notre Dame already having two losses, a third loss would all but eliminate them from playoff contention. USC has a tough stretch of Big Ten games to end the season, so a loss to Notre Dame would make their playoff chances even less-likely. Ross Dellenger returns to join Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey to discuss this matchup and who they think will come out victorious. Later, there are multiple Top 25 matchups in the SEC on Saturday.

Happy Valley is not so happy as of late. Preseason expectations of a deep CFP seem to be of a distant past after the firing of James Franklin on Sunday. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey dive into how Penn State fell so fast and what led to the firing of a head coach whose team was ranked #3 just three weeks ago. Then the guys look at who Penn State should look to hire to be their new head coach. Should they try to poach big names like Alabama's Kalen DeBoer or Nebraska's Matt Rhule, or should they look at one of the hot new names like Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein or Syracuse head coach Fran Brown? The guys discuss what options are on the table. Later, there are more hurdles to now jump over for the Big Ten's attempt to get a private equity deal done. In Ross Dellenger's latest article, he explains why USC is now against signing a private equity deal. Ross is out today, but Andy and Godfrey break down what all is going on and if the Big Ten will, or even should, ever get a private equity deal done.  Finally, the guys discuss a few notable topics from what we've been seeing on the field. First, they dive into the massive success, thus far, of Texas Tech. After an expensive offseason, it seems that all of the NIL investment is paying off. The Red Raiders are ranked seventh in the country and are currently undefeated going into Week 8. Andy and Godfrey discuss if they will face any hurdles in the Big 12, or if Texas Tech is going to run away with the conference. Then, they keep up the CFP talk but shift to a conference that will be fighting for a bid. The American Conference has been impressive this year, and the guys are convinced the winner of this conference will head to the CFP, but the question is who will that be? Four teams sit at the top with undefeated conference records currently. Navy, #22 Memphis, #19 USF and Tulane. Who will come away with the title and probably a CFP berth?

Both teams are coming off of a bye following close games the week prior. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this matchup and debate who they think holds the advantage. It will be a matchup of two top coaches in college football alongside two of the premiere quarterbacks in the game. The teams appear to be pretty evenly matched, but who will come out on top? Then the discussion shifts to the top team in the nation as #1 Ohio State takes a visit to #17 Illinois this weekend.

The college football season is about halfway over and there are a lot of teams' seasons that are sitting in the middle of catastrophe and staying in the College Football Playoff hunt. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss which of these teams may survive and who may be looking for a new coach at the end of the year. Does the losing coach of LSU and South Carolina have to be concerned for his job after so much preseason hype? Is the loser of Texas and Oklahoma eliminated them from CFP contention, or would Oklahoma be able to survive a loss? Will Hugh Freeze be out with a loss to Georgia? Later, a major controversy was the talk of the sports media world yesterday and today the guys discuss. The controversy surrounded Paul Finebaum's absence on ESPN after his interview with Clay Travis, where Finebaum spoke about potential interest in running for Republican Senate in Alabama. Monday, Travis claimed Finebaum was banned from the ESPN main network after not seeing Finebaum on any of the usual shows he is on over the last week. ESPN denied any truth to this and then speculation began. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what all seems to be happening and if there appears to be any truth or if this all may be designed to drum up controversy. *Disclaimer: This conversation was recorded before any confirmation of Finebaum appearing on ESPN on Tuesday morning. Finally, in the new world of NIL and college football, some teams and conferences were bound to fall behind. Steven Godfrey discusses the difficulties the Group of Five teams are having in this new world. He and Andy chat about the concept of some schools dropping down to FCS, or to D-2, and how that may be better than struggling in the Division 1 landscape.  Get your week rolling with College Football Enquirer.

Week 6 is in the books, and what looked like it was not going to be a very exciting week of college football proved to be anything but that. The premiere matchup of the night had #3 Miami visiting #18 Florida State. Despite a late comeback by the Seminoles, the Hurricanes proved to be the more dominant team as they walked away with a 28-22 win. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss Miami's performance, the emergence of Malachi Toney and the overwhelming Miami defense. Plus, they chat about if Miami will be the number one seed in the CFP and if FSU can still make a run for the playoff? Then, the guys discuss the most shocking upset of the day as 0-4 UCLA defeated #7 Penn State. Behind newly named OC Jerry Neuheisel, UCLA scored 42 points and hung on to win 42-37. After two devastating losses, what is going on with Penn State, and are there brighter days ahead this season? Later, the guys discuss another upset from Saturday as Florida took down #9 Texas. Arch Manning continued to struggle as he threw two interceptions on the way to a 29-21 Florida win. With so much hype entering the season, how can Arch turn his season around, or is it time to bench Arch Manning? Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss this and if there is a path for Texas to still make it to the CFP? Lastly, the guys discuss the other big matchup of the day that saw #10 Alabama avenge last season's upset and beat #16 Vanderbilt. Ty Simpson impressed with over 300 yards passing as Alabama continues to look like a much different team than the one the country saw in the first week of the season when they lost to Florida State. Is Alabama the team to beat out of the SEC despite their early season struggles? A difficult schedule will soon show what can be expected out of this team.

Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this matchup and look at what Florida State has on the line trying to avoid back-to-back losses.

Then, ESPN’s Dan Wetzel (who listeners might be familiar with) had to make sure the guys didn’t run out of stories to talk about, so he broke some news on Wednesday about the Big Ten.

On Sunday, Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey talked about how they expected Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman to be fired in the near future. By the time the episode was released, Arkansas had indeed fired Pittman, who was in his 6th season. Former Arkansas head coach, and current offensive coordinator, Bobby Petrino, has been named interim head coach and he made it clear that he is interested in removing that interim title. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss why this may be a more desirable job than it appears and who might be a fit for the new era of Arkansas football. They also debate if Petrino has a chance at becoming the full-time head coach and how Arkansas can have a program turnaround similar to the one Ole Miss is having right now.  Later, we get Ross' Congressional Minute as he explains the new SAFE Act that is being introduced into the Senate. This is a similar act to the already introduced SCORE Act, but there are some key differences. Ross explains the differences between the acts and what they mean for the future of college athletics. The guys discuss which is a better act and where the discussions in Congress will go from here.  Lastly, the Week 5 slate in college football was jam-packed with marquee matchups. However, Week 6 is lacking in comparison.

It has been a busy Week 5 in college football and there haven't even been any games played yet. Tuesday was a drama filled day in the state of Oklahoma. It was announced that three games into his 21st season, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy was fired. The Oklahoma State legend had taken the school to unprecedented heights, but in recent years there was more struggle than triumph. Losing 11 of his last 12 games, and starting the year with a 1-2 record, that included a 69-3 loss to Oregon and a loss to Tulsa, appeared to be the final straw. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey react to the firing and discuss where it all started to go wrong for Gundy in recent years. Plus, some other news that came out on Tuesday was that Oklahoma's starting quarterback, John Mateer, broke his hand in Oklahoma's victory over Auburn and needed surgery. He is presumed to be out about a month, but no official timeline has been released. The guys discuss if Oklahoma can survive without Mateer, especially heading into the Red River Rivalry on Oct. 11. Can they still make the playoffs with a few losses if they look good when Mateer returns?  Later, Ross gives us his report from the commissioners' meetings this week. Ross was on-site for the meetings where the College Football Playoff formats of the future were discussed. How soon may we get a new format or will we get one at all?

Plus, Ross gives us an update on the SCORE Act in his Congressional Minute. Finally, the guys discuss games. It is a loaded week of fantastic matchups in college football and the guys try to get to as many games as they can.

There were some dominant performances that led the way including #17 Texas Tech dominating #16 Utah at the line of scrimmage.

Week 4 is upon us and it is a huge weekend for the Big Ten. The game everyone has been talking about involves two schools that have not been thought of as powers in the conference, but they may have something to say about that this year. 9th-ranked Illinois visits 19th-ranked Indiana in the first big test of the season for both schools. Steven Godfrey explains why he thinks this game is so important for the Big Ten. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger join in on previewing the game. Another notable Big Ten matchup this week involves 21st-ranked Michigan visiting undefeated Nebraska. Michigan goes into the game without head coach Sherrone Moore, who is serving part of his suspension from the Michigan penalties.

The guys discuss this unique situation and give their thoughts on how this game may play out.  Later in the show, Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the spirited press conference from Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney.

Can these coaches turn it around and cool off the hot seat like some other coaches have done this year? Later in the show, the guys chat about a new trend in college football for how to revamp a struggling offense. The new philosophy is to bring over another school's offensive coordinator and his quarterback. Two successful examples of this, so far this season, are Oklahoma's OC Ben Arbuckle and QB John Mateer and Utah's OC Jason Beck and QB Devon Dampier. Andy, Ross and Steven discuss why this new trend is proving to be successful and if they think this will grow to be the norm.

A game that came down to a botched PAT and a late TD saw the Aggies upset the Irish 41-40. Ross Dellenger was in attendance and chats with Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey about the scene. They discuss how good this A&M team really is and if Notre Dame can overcome this 0-2 start or if their playoff hopes are gone. Another game that came down to the wire saw #6 Georgia squeak past #15 Tennessee in an overtime thriller.

Since its inception, NIL has been a huge talking point across collegiate athletics. The media has offered up pros and cons, but much of the conversation has been about the negative impacts of NIL. Ross Dellenger wrote a story exploring the other side of that. He talks about his story on Duke quarterback Darian Mensah.

The stars came out, the stadium was packed and the North Carolina Tar Heels drove right down the field and scored on their first drive of the game. It all went down hill not too long after that, culminating in a deflating 48-14 loss to TCU. The Belichick Era did not get off to the start he, and many others, had hoped for. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what went wrong, what surprised them about North Carolina and TCU, what they think TCU can accomplish this season and if they think North Carolina can turn it around this year.  Later, the guys chat about Sunday night's electric matchup in Miami that saw the newly ranked fifth team in the country, Miami, take down the now ranked ninth team, Notre Dame. Is 'The U' back? Andy, Ross and Steven discuss this exact topic as they look at the Hurricanes' Sunday night performance and peek at what lies ahead for the team. They also give their thoughts on the Fighting Irish and what their season outlook is. Plus, they dive into Auburn's 38-24 win on Friday and talk about what that win did for Hugh Freeze.  Finally, the latest AP Top 25 poll is out! Ross released his Top 10 on Monday and the latest AP poll came out today. Both rankings have the college football world fired up as fanbases clamor to explain why their team should be ranked higher. The guys discuss the rankings and explain why rankings this early are really just something to talk about.  All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer   (1:36) - Belichick's debut falls flat (24:40) - What to think about Miami and Notre Dame (40:56) - Auburn's season outlook (43:19) -  AP Top 25 poll explained Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

The first full Saturday of college football is in the books! A few games are left on the Week 1 slate, but plenty of drama has already been provided. Saturday saw a huge clash of titans, in Columbus, Ohio, as #3 Ohio State hosted #1 Texas. Two first-year starting quarterbacks were at the helms of both offenses, and it showed as defense owned the day. The low-scoring affair concluded with Ohio State's defense coming out on top as the Buckeyes took down the Longhorns 14-7. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey breakdown the game. Has Arch Manning been overhyped, or is the heavy criticism coming a little too soon? Does Ohio State look poised to make a run at repeating as national champions? Plus, Saturday's College Gameday at the Texas vs. Ohio State game was Lee Corso's final show. He went out a winner on his 431st headgear pick, ending the same way he started, by picking the Buckeyes. He then watched the game from the press box and Ross tells a behind the scenes story of Lee Corso joining him up in the press box to watch the game.  Later, the guys chat about some more Saturday drama. The biggest shock of the day was #8 Alabama being upset by unranked Florida State. An upset that only Lee Corso saw coming. The Kalen DeBoer era has had some slip-ups that were rarely seen by his predecessor and it has people wondering how much longer he may last in Tuscaloosa. The guys share their thoughts on Coach DeBoer's situation in Alabama and what Florida State did to be successful. Are the Seminoles a team to be reckoned with this season? Plus they dive into one more game as they recap #9 LSU defeating #4 Clemson. What did they see from both teams that are encouraging signs for the rest of the season? Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven take a look at how they did on their picks from Thursday. Despite how those picks may have gone, they decide to make one more pick as they preview Sunday night's game of #6 Notre Dame visiting #10 Miami. What questions do they need answered to believe 'The U' is back? Do they trust the Irish with a new quarterback running the show? They answer all of these and more. Join us this Labor Day weekend on College Football Enquirer.    (1:58) - #3 Ohio State takes down #1 Texas (19:51) - Lee Corso's final College GameDay (23:15) - Florida State upsets #8 Alabama (34:55) - #9 LSU defeats #4 Clemson (48:52) - Pick 'em recap (51:40) - Previewing #6 Notre Dame visiting #10 Miami (59:40) - TCU @ North Carolina preview Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Week 1 has arrived! We get five straight days of college football to get started! What a wonderful time of year. Along with the excitement comes a lot of expectations from anxious fans waiting to see how the year plays out for their favorite teams. Someone with possibly the greatest amount of expectations is none other than Texas quarterback Arch Manning. The nephew of legendary NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning stepped foot onto campus two years ago with a mound of expectations. After two years of waiting, and short glimpses of what the future could hold, Manning will lead the top-ranked Longhorns into 'The Shoe' to face the defending national champions, third-ranked Ohio State. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss everything that led up to this moment for Manning and what they expect from him this season. Later, the guys discuss another era that begins to the east of Austin, in North Carolina. Chapel Hill to be specific. Legendary NFL head coach Bill Belichick begins his collegiate coaching career with the Tar Heels. Ross went to Chapel Hill during the offseason and spoke with Coach Belichick. Ross shares his insight from the conversation about the impact Coach is already having on his team and the university as a whole. Then they keep the discussion among the coaching ranks, but they move back west, as they dive into expectations for Deion Sanders in year three at Colorado. They discuss the misconceptions that Coach Sanders wasn't bought in at Colorado and how people should no longer question that. They also discuss what is different about this year's Colorado squad after losing Shedeur and Travis.  As the show comes to a close, the guys chat about what coaches are on the hot seat heading into the season. They look to the SEC. More specifically, they look at Oklahoma's Brent Venables, Florida's Billy Napier and Auburn's Hugh Freeze. What do they have to do to keep their tenure going at their respective schools? Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven make their picks! Each host picking one game from the weekend. Central Michigan at San Jose State, Nebraska vs. Cincinnati and Syracuse vs. 24th-ranked Tennessee are the games of choice for this week!

It was reported Tuesday night that Ohio State banned Dave Portnoy from their stadium. The Barstool Sports owner is joining Fox's pregame show "Big Noon Kickoff" this season; a show that ends inside the stadium of the game it is previewing, before kickoff. It was assumed, by the public, that Portnoy would be among the pregame crew in the stadium each week. The show for Week 1 is at Ohio State, which would create an issue if part of the pregame crew could not end the show in the stadium. It now appears the report of this ban from Ohio State may not be completely accurate. As our own Ross Dellenger reports, Portnoy not being allowed in the stadium is due to more than just Ohio State having a problem with Portnoy. Ross, Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey explain what is really going on behind the scenes. Later in the show, the SEC recently announced it will shift its conference schedule to nine games starting in 2026. Among these nine games will be three "annual" games for each school. Andy, Ross and Steven discuss how the conference goes about determining what these "annual" games are, how this will affect the schools and how this shift may affect the SEC. Finally, we are just a few days away from the start of Week 1 of the college football season! A week that will see a lot of intriguing matchups, including Baylor visiting Auburn on Friday night. Ross recently sat down with Baylor head coach Dave Aranda to discuss the upcoming season. Aranda spoke about what is different with Baylor this year and the changes Baylor has made in NIL. From not playing ball in the NIL space to jumping in with the rest of the country, this switch could prove to make a huge difference in Waco.  We are counting the hours until Week 1 kicks-off. Until then, join us on College Football Enquirer.   (1:23) - Dave Portnoy's Ohio State ban (29:47) - The SEC moves to a 9-game conference schedule (48:25) - Baylor and Dave Aranda's evolution Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

We made it! Football is here! Week 0 may only be a small sample size, but if you ask Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey, they don't care because we finally get to watch games.  Even with Week 0 being only a few games, we are already getting a Top 25 matchup in Ireland. "Farmageddon" goes to Europe for this Big 12 rivalry as 22nd ranked Iowa State takes on 17th ranked Kansas State. Andy, Ross and Steven talk about the keys to this game and the impact this may have on a wide open Big 12. Plus, they dive into what to expect out of the Big 12 conference and how we could see Week 0 evolve into a much larger slate of games in the future. Could Week 0 become the new Week 1? Later in the show, Ross goes in-depth on his conversation with West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez. He chronicles the journey of the former West Virginia hero turned pariah being welcomed home! The guys discuss Rich Rod's stops along the way and how it always felt like West Virginia was where he wanted to get back to. The two-time Big East Coach of the Year led the Mountaineers to four Big East titles, but the football landscape is much different this time around. What are the expectations from the Mountaineer faithful? What is considered success and what are the realistic expectations in this new age of college football?  Finally, bold season predictions must be made before games are played, otherwise the predictions become far less bold. That is exactly what the guys do to wrap up the show as the guys predict an underdog SEC team who may surprise some people, a guess at who will make the CFP and a prediction of who will win it all! The final College Football Enquirer before the season kicks off.

On Thursday’s episode, we made our predictions for Michigan’s impending sanctions coming out of the Conor Stallions saga. On Friday, the verdict came in. Ross Dellenger may now also be called Nostradamus because he was spot on with his predictions. Over $30-million in fines and a three-game suspension for head coach Sherrone Moore were the main highlights from the ruling. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join Ross in recapping the reaction to the ruling and discussing where Michigan goes from here. Expanding the College Football Playoff has been a talking point since the format’s inception. It has grown from four to twelve teams, but that does not seem to be enough to some in college football. While sixteen seems to be a natural progression, a much larger number was suggested recently. Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti threw out the idea of a 28-team playoff and sent the college football world into an uproar. Was this suggestion just a ruse for a more preferable plan? Why was this the only playoff idea that was reported on? How realistic is a 28-team playoff? The guys answer all of these questions and more as they look toward the future of the College Football Playoff. Later in the show, they discuss Virginia Tech’s athletic director, Whit Babcock, and his presentation to the university’s Board explaining where college football is headed and his pressing need for more funding. What might a super league look like in the college football landscape and how close are we to its arrival? Is the constant desire for change and money ruining the sport for the fans? Andy, Ross and Steven explain the crossroads college football is at after Babcock’s comments. Finally, there was a recent change in the FPI over the weekend. A change that came without any games being played and not much notable news that affects the product on the field. Some SEC teams were bumped up and some ACC teams were knocked down. This appears to be all the motivation needed for SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee to call the system out for being “rigged.” The guys discuss coach Lashlee’s comments and give their own thoughts on the importance of the FPI. Plus, the guys end the show with some breaking news about Auburn and the four new national football titles they picked up somewhat arbitrarily on Tuesday morning!   (0:57) - Reaction to Michigan's sanctions (10:17) - Will a 28-team playoff actually happen?

Six of the top eight teams in the first AP poll have a first-year starter at quarterback. However, the experienced quarterbacks are lurking on teams just outside of the top eight. What might this mean as the season begins to unfold? Will experience win out or can guys like Arch Manning and Dante Moore overcome their lack of on-field experience? College Football Enquirer's Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey debate if they have more faith in experience or the first-year guys. Plus, not all of these teams' quarterback races are decided. What have the guys heard coming out of Ohio State and Notre Dame about who their signal callers will be this year?  Later in the show, the guys discuss the NCAA's announcement that Friday will be when they issue the punishments against Michigan football for their sign stealing scandal. A two-year process will finally come to a close. Ross gives a behind-the-scenes look at what the process to come to this decision has been like and what kind of penalties the NCAA can actually inflict on the school. Andy, Steven and Ross give their predictions on what they think the result may end up being.  They end the show with a discussion about the Big 12 ADs' vote to solidify an existing policy related to throwing items onto the field. After the first two violations in a game, teams receive a 15-yard penalty. Ross shares his report about this decision and the guys discuss how this is directly connected to Texas Tech's tradition of tortilla throwing. How serious is this matter and what items should other Big 12 teams be throwing?  Week 0 is next week. College football is almost back, and the news continues to fly. Come hear about all of it on today's College Football Enquirer! (6:06) - Can a first-year starter win it all?

We are back! After a bit of a break, your favorite college football podcast has returned! Some new voices have joined the show with the departures of Dan Wetzel and Pat Forde. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join Ross Dellenger for College Football Enquirer's newest version! There was quite a bit of news that happened while we were away, so it's time to catch up. Schools can pay athletes directly now. Revenue sharing has arrived! This has already caused an immediate shift in the college football landscape and schools are taking full advantage. One team who is capitalizing on that is Vanderbilt. Huge hype and ticket prices have followed. How has this change affected the college landscape? Has it changed for the better? These questions and more are what Andy, Ross and Steven answer. As athletes continue to get paid, guardrails around how they can be paid continue to be developed. Enter the College Sports Commission. This commission is supposed to make sure there is fairness across the board in how athletes are being paid. How exactly they are doing that is a bit more complicated. Luckily, Ross can break it all down. Another huge change on the horizon has to do with the transfer portal. This topic has been discussed at length. Should there only be one portal window rather than two? When should that be? Change is coming and while there is some disagreement among conferences for when the portal window should open, a shift appears imminent. The guys explain what the change may look like, and they give their takes on when the portal should open. We are just a few weeks away from the start of the season, so naturally we have to talk about what coaches are hoping to still have a job by the end of the season. While some coaches' buyouts are too big for them to have any concern this year, others do not have that luxury. Texas Tech's Joey McGuire and Oklahoma's Brent Venables are two coaches that look to be in win now situations. The guys discuss the coaches' futures with their respective programs. They also dive into how the new college landscape of paying players may have led to some coaches' jobs being saved. Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven take a look at some upset ready matchups in the Week 1 slate. Are Boise St., Mississippi St. and Kentucky on upset watch? The guys chat about what they are looking at in those Week 1 games. A jam-packed episode of College Football Enquirer begins now.

The trio react to some of the most passionate fan responses to the news of Dan’s departure and share memorable moments from the show's 700+ episode journey. Dan, Ross & Pat also chat about the recent success of old-school college basketball coaches like Rick Pitino, Bruce Pearl, Kelvin Sampson and Rick Barnes. How have these coaches found continued success despite the ever-changing landscape of college athletics? Ross reports on the AAC’s decision to implement a $10 million minimum revenue sharing standard for each of the schools in its league.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde break down Bill Belichick’s first spring practice as head coach of UNC Football this week. While many college football practices around the country are loud and energetic, Pat reports that Belichick’s practice was a quiet, NFL-like, professional atmosphere, likely indicative of the type of program he hopes to build in Chapel Hill. But can Bill really take a mid-level program and make them a college football juggernaut? Dan, Ross & Pat also react to the latest NIL-centric congressional hearing from earlier this week. Little progress was made, and a bill has yet to be introduced, but time is of the essence for college administrators who are desperate to gain control of the ever-changing NIL & revenging sharing landscape. The three also recap the record-breaking 23-run inning from George Mason baseball as they hosted Holy Cross and dive into a Texas lottery scandal in the People’s Court.   (1:11) Belichick era begins at UNC (23:22) Why did UNC MBB extend Davis?

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde react to reports that the ACC is nearing a settlement with Clemson & Florida State. Would a change to the conference’s revenue distribution satisfy the conference’s most restless football teams? With a new setup for revenue distribution based on TV viewership, could the ACC compel the Tigers & Seminoles to stay in the conference long-term? And will other Power conferences look to the ACC’s example and base their own revenue sharing on TV performance as well? The trio also debate which college football stadium would be the best location for a ‘lockup’ TV show. It’s definitely not BYU, but could Florida, LSU or West Virginia be top contenders?   (0:58) ACC nearing agreement with Clemson & FSU in lawsuit (12:38) The end of TV markets?

700 episodes of College Football Enquirer later, Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde are somehow STILL talking about the College Football Playoff format. Ross returns from Dallas, Texas with the latest news from the CFP Management Committee on impending changes to both the 2025 & 2026 playoff structure. These two playoffs are separate events but the decisions surrounding them are linked as the Big 12 and ACC try to leverage the power they DO have in the 2025 playoff into greater concessions from the SEC & Big Ten when they take control of the 2026 playoff. From potential changes to the quarterfinal bowl games, to a switch to straight seeding, to additional automatic qualification—Dan, Ross & Pat cover it all. Pat dives into his recent article about a gambling ring that allegedly tampered with obscure men’s basketball games including the likes of Temple, East Carolina, Mississippi Valley State and more. Finally, the People’s Court attempts to answer the oh-so-important question: which SEC team has the most fans currently incarcerated?

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde are back with part II of their SEC coaches pressure index for the 2025 college football season. In a conference that loves to say it ‘just means more,’ how much ‘more’ pressure will these coaches face than their peers? Brent Venables could be in big trouble in Oklahoma after finishing last season with a losing record and an overall rough entrance into the SEC. Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss had an 11-2 season in 2024 but missed the playoffs, is he still facing pressure to get the Rebels to the playoffs even without Jaxson Dart? Shane Beamer has exceeded expectations at South Carolina, but could be feeling the heat again if the Gamecocks backslide into their losing records of the past. Dan, Pat & Ross break down what each of these coaches and the rest of the SEC must do to withstand the pressure in the 2025 college football season. The trio also discuss Nebraska backing out of their home-and-home agreement with Tennessee in 2026 & 2027 as well as a People’s Court on students filing lawsuits against their schools over grades.   (0:52) SEC coaches under pressure (1:56) Drinkwitz, Missouri (9:07) Venables, Oklahoma (14:11) Kiffin, Ole Miss (21:34) Beamer, South Carolina (25:44) Heupel, Tennessee (32:03) Sarkisian, Texas (35:35) Elko, Texas A&M (40:11) Lea, Vanderbilt (43:54) Nebraska ends home-and-home series with Tennessee (50:47) People’s court: suing your school   Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3hP91YU 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2Xh6GhA 📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuTQj And check out Dan, Ross & Pat on X: 🏈 @DanWetzel: https://twitter.com/DanWetzel 🏈 @RossDellenger: https://twitter.com/RossDellenger 🏈 @ByPatForde: https://twitter.com/ByPatForde Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde present part I of their SEC coaches pressure index for the 2025 college football season. In a conference with the highest of expectations, are there any coaches who aren’t feeling the pressure this upcoming season?   Kalen DeBoer must show improvement at Alabama as he continues the impossible task of living up to Nick Saban’s success. How much longer will Auburn wait on Hugh Freeze to deliver wins? Brian Kelly has done well at LSU, but you might not know it from asking the Tiger fanbase. The trio reveal their pressure index for half of the SEC, with the rest to follow early next week.   Dan, Ross & Pat also speculate about the potential outcomes of the joint Big Ten-SEC meeting today in New Orleans and revisit a hot People’s Court topic: is a boneless chicken wing really a wing at all?  (2:07) SEC, Big 10 joint meeting (14:33) SEC coaches under pressure (15: 37) Kalen DeBoer, Alabama (20:43) Sam Pittman, Arkansas (24:26) Hugh Freeze, Auburn (28:05) Billy Napier, Florida  (32:41) Kirby Smart, Georgia  (35:35) Mark Stoops, Kentucky  (40:50) Brian Kelly, LSU (44:53) Jeff Lebby, Mississippi State (49:07) People's court: boneless chicken wings  Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3hP91YU 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2Xh6GhA 📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuTQj And check out Dan, Ross & Pat on X: 🏈 @DanWetzel: https://twitter.com/DanWetzel 🏈 @RossDellenger: https://twitter.com/RossDellenger 🏈 @ByPatForde: https://twitter.com/ByPatForde Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde look ahead to this week's meeting between the SEC & Big Ten conferences which may change college football as we know it. After only one season of the 12-team College Football Playoff, the SEC & Big Ten conferences have already determined it’s time for a change. The conferences are likely to propose a 14 or even 16-team playoff next week that would grant four automatic qualifiers each to the SEC and Big Ten; two each to the ACC and Big 12; and one to the highest-ranked Group of Five champion. Dan, Ross & Pat take a deep dive into all the ways this proposal could alter the college football landscape including the devaluation of conference championship games, non-conference games becoming all but irrelevant, and scheduling disparities that would alienate many conferences.

On this episode of The College Football Enquirer, Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde break down the Department of Education’s reversal of the decision to include revenue sharing as part of Title IX. How can the system be made more fair without crippling the budgets of collegiate athletic departments or leaving Olympic sports in the lurch?  The trio also react to the latest Yahoo Sports NFL mock draft that has Travis Hunter going first to the Tennessee Titans, Cam Ward second to the Cleveland Browns and Shedeur Sanders third to the New York Giants. Is it crazy to have Ward before Sanders? Ohio State boasted how many players they returned to the program last season, so why are there only two Buckeye players projected to go in the first round?

On today's episode of The College Football Enquirer, Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde take a look back at how Jalen Hurts experiences at Alabama and Oklahoma propelled him to victory in Super Bowl LIX. After being benched in the 2018 National Championship for Tua Tagovailoa, few would have expected him to be named Super Bowl MVP just a handful of years later. However, Hurts rose to the occasion (not unlike a certain QB of legend, Tom Brady) both in college and now in the NFL and led the Philadelphia Eagles in a dominant victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. The trio dive into Texas Tech’s transfer portal strategy, which relies heavily on scouting reports from NFL sources, and earned them the no. 2 ranked transfer portal class. Ross shares the latest NIL news update that the power conferences intend to police revenue sharing themselves rather than rely on the NCAA as they have in the past, but it might be a lose-lose situation.
