About Last Night: Guardians Win Ohio Cup & Lincoln Riley on a 24-Team CFP

Anthony Lima and the crew recap the Guardians' 6-1 win over the Reds, floating whether it's time to trade a red-hot Steven Kwan (.347 over his last 30 games) before poking fun at Kyle Manzardo's deadpan reaction to being named Ohio Cup MVP. They debate whether Cincinnati or Pittsburgh is Cleveland's real rival, noting Pirates fans overran the stadium on a recent visit while Reds fans have leaned classless in their trash talk, and wonder if realigned divisions (an "AL North" with Pittsburgh) could manufacture better rivalries. The conversation shifts to Big Ten Media Day, where USC's Lincoln Riley pushed for playoff expansion, and the hosts lament how the current 12-team format has already cheapened Ohio State-Michigan by proving a regular-season loss no longer dooms a title run. They close by griping that nobody actually wants an 18-game NFL season or a bloated college playoff, but both are coming anyway, before teasing a supposed positive, leadership-driven Browns moment from after practice.
