Big Ten's postseason success vs. SEC's postseason struggles & Lane Kiffin asks for patience
from College Football Enquirer · host steven godfrey, ross dellenger, andy staples
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. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the impact of adding two more head coaches to the committee. They also dive into the rules of when committee members need to recuse themselves during the discussions and voting. Will these fresh faces provide some positive change to the committee? All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Big Ten postseason success vs. SEC postseason struggles 31:12 - Lane Kiffin asks LSU fans for patience in rebuild 48:08 - New coaches added to the CFP selection committee 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
