    CFB 2026 Top Games | NFL Draft Talk

    I AM BACK!! Im back on YouTube after my 7 month hiatus. With another college football and NFL season in the books I'm back to discuss what lies ahead for 2026. In this episode I discuss the most intriguing games in the upcoming 2026 College Football season. The rematch between Miami and Notre Dame looks to make waves after a controversial ending to the regular season in 2025 where despite being ahead of Miami in every single CFP Poll, the head to head matchup came back to bite Notre Dame as Miami would make the CFP over the Irish on their way to their first National Title appearance since 2002. In the rematch of the Big10 title game between Ohio State and National Champion Indiana, Ohio State looks to knock off the champs to once again claim the Big10.Perhaps the most intriguing game of 2026 is none other than the LSU Tigers traveling to Ole Miss, Lane Kiffins old team. With Lane Kiffin packing up and ditching a college football playoff team right before the start of the playoff, Ole Miss looks to humiliate Lane and his Tiger squad.  And with the NFL draft a few days away I dive into a recent mock Draft by NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah to give my opinion on what should be a very impactful draft for all 32 NFL teams. All this and more on my first episode back!

    Ohio State Takes Down Arch and Texas | Miami Holds Off Notre Dame | FSU Steamrolls Alabama🚨

    On this weeks episode, I dive into Week 1 of the 2025 College Football Season which was nothing short of cinematic!!! The Most hyped matchup of the weekend was No. 1 #texaslonghorns and Arch Manning traveling to Columbus to take on the 3rd ranked defending national champion #ohiostatebuckeyes ,  In Arch Mannings first true road game there was a lot to be desired as the Buckeyes defense shut Arch and the Longhorns down the majority of the game as the defending Champs win 14-7. Are the Buckeyes primed to go back-to-back? Will Arch Live up to the hype of being a Manning?In the battle of the Death Valleys, No. 9 #lsutigers traveled to South Carolina to take on the No. 4 #clemsontigers . In a battle of the Tigers Heisman hopeful Garrett Nussmeier led LSU to a 17-10 victory over Dabo Sweenys Tigers. Does Brian Kelly finally have a team capable of winning a national championship in the SEC? Is LSU now the favorites to win the SEC? And will Clemsons lack of depth and transfer portal usage be their downfall?In a rivalry renewed, No. 6 #notredamefightingirish traveled down to South Florida to take on the No. 10 #miamihurricanes . In Carson Becks first game as a Hurricane he started to look like the 2023 version of himself throwing for over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns while throwing no interceptions and commiting no turnovers, the Hurricanes held off the 2024 national runner-ups comeback attempt and took the game 27-24 in the first matchup against ND since 2017. Does Miami finally have a complete team to make a College Football Playoff Run? Will Carson Beck return back to his complete form? And Will Notre Dame rebound?In a game many thought was going to be a blowout the No. 8 #alabamacrimsontide traveled down to Tallahassee to take on the unranked #floridastateseminols . Many believed Alabama would steamroll FSU considering the Seminols went 2-10 last year, but to everyones surprise, Florida State beat the breaks off of Alabama 31-17 in a game that was not that close, FSU bullied and dominated every aspect of the game on thier way to announce they are back and this is not the same team as last year. Will FSU fight for the ACC this year? And is Kalen Debour going to last the rest of the season? All this on this weeks episode!

    NEW CFB PLAYOFF MODEL?! | Joel Klatt Top 10 CFB QBS | NBA FINALS SET

    On this weeks episode after taking a week off, I dive back into college football and the college football playoff format. This past year was the first iteration of the 12-Team Playoff and was met with mixed feelings towards it. The 12-Team playoff is switching to a straight 12-Seeding model rather than the 4 highest ranked conference champions getting the first round bye. More rumblings are happening with the college football playoff possibly expanding to 16 teams by 2026 and the 2 powerhouse conferences the Big 10 and SEC look to claim the most automatic bids in the coming years of the CFP. Will this ruin the CFP and College Football? Only time will tell.The NBA has reached its conclusion.....The Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals. Both teams have never won and NBA Finals so we will be crowning a first time champion this year but with uninteresting superstars in the eyes of many...will the ratings continue to drop as they have over the past few years? We will find out! All this and more on this weeks episode!

    PURDY SIGNS EXTENSION 🚨| NBA Finals Prediction | Miami Hurricanes Outlook

    On this weeks episode I go into the recent news about 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy! It has long been speculated whether or not San Francisco would sign Brock to a massive contract extension or to a more team friendly deal! Over this past weekend the 49ers did exactly that. Brock Purdy signed a 5 Year Extensions worth $265 Million, $181 Million Guaranteed, at $53 Million Per Year. This extension makes Brock the highest payed player in 49ers history and one of the top 10 highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL! Is Brock worth this kind of contract or have the 49ers made a big mistake that will backfire on the franchise? This and more on this weeks episode!

    COWBOYS TRADE FOR PICKENS🚨 | Giannis Leaving Bucks? | Michigan Suspends Moore

    On this weeks episode, the Pittsburgh Steelers recently parted ways with young promising wide receiver George Pickens trading him to the Dallas Cowboys! Was this the right move for the Steelers to make? And was the timing of this trade in fact the right time to make this trade? The Steelers have given Pickens chance after chance to clean up his act on and off the field, and with recent addition of wide receiver DK Metcalf from Seattle, Pickens would have been looked at as the second option in Pittsburgh. Now the Cowboys finally have a number 2 receiver to pair with star CeeDee Lamb but will it be enough for Dallas to compete with Washington and Philly in division? And will the baggage George Pickens brings affect Dallas' organization from the inside? Only time will tell!Giannis Antetokounmpo...The Greek Freak...will more than likely be traded in this upcoming NBA offseason. The 11 year career up to this point for Giannis has been nothing short of fantastic, bringing the Bucks their first Championship since 1971 back in 2021. Many thought he would finish his career as a Buck but with a lack of championship caliber personnel surrounding him has made it a difficult position to be in for The Bucks organization and Giannis himself. With the trade rumors getting more and more frequent, can we see Giannis traded to another team this offseason? All this and more on this weeks episode!

    Way-Too-Early NFL Division Winner Predictions | Browns QB Room

    On this weeks episode, with the NFL Draft in the past I take a look at all the divisions in the NFL and I make my Way-Too-Early Predictions on who I think is going to finish at the top of each division in the NFL. Will the Ravens once again capture the AFC North or will the Bengals claw their way back to the top? How legit will the Steelers be in the AFC North? Will they have another winning season? After selecting Cam Ward with the 1st overall pick the Titans look to be competitive in a division with CJ Stroud and Trevor Lawrence and look to be competitive immediately....can Cam Ward be the missing piece Tennessee has been waiting for since Warren Moon? How will the NFC East stack up after Philly and Washington continue to add talent to their already loaded rosters? Can the Commanders take the NFC East crown away from the reigning Super Bowl Champion Eagles or will Philly continue their dominance? All this and more on this weeks episode!

    SHEDEUR SANDERS FALLS TO 5th ROUND👀🚨| NFL Draft Recap

    On this weeks episode, the 2025 NFL Draft is complete and in the books! Teams across the NFL looked to make another step towards their ultimate goal of winning the Lombardi Trophy. There was plenty of drama that happened on those three nights and nothing more dramatic than Shedeur Sanders, who was projected for a long time to be a 1st round pick, fell all the way to the 5th round and was the 5th Quarterback taken off the board. That's begs the question.....Why? A projected 1st Round Draft Pick falling not only out of the 1st round but falling all the way to the 5th has really never happened before! Was this collusion or did Shedeur and Deion have more to do with it than we thing?The Steelers, considered one of the favorites to draft Sanders, did not take a QB until the 6th round. Ohio States National Champion QB Will Howard is heading to the Steel City with his teammate defensive end Jack Sawyer. Does this hold off on an early round QB mean Aaron Rodgers is coming to Pittsburgh or are the Steelers confident Will Howard can develop and overtake Mason Rudolph and Skyler Thompson?Cam Ward....Selected 1st overall by the Titans will be looked at to "save" Tennessee football. But does he have a chance to succeed in Tennessee? The Titans addressed their needs in the Draft and free agency, so the outlook starters for Tennessee looks like QB1 - Cam Ward, RB1 - Tony Pollard, RB2 - Kalel Mullings(Draft), WR1 - Calvin Ridley, WR2 - Tyler Lockett(Seattle), WR3 - Xavier Restrepo(UDFA), TE1 - Gunner Helm(Draft)....plus in a division with Houston, Jacksonville, and Indianapolis the Titans can very easily find themselves competing for a Wild Card spot early in Cams Career! All this and more on this weeks episode!

    Mock Draft 3.0 | Entire 1st Round Selections | Travis Hunter to Browns?

    On this weeks episode, The 2025 NFL Draft begins Thursday, April 24th and I bring my 3rd and Final Mock Draft before Draft Night. This year looks to turn out as a very interesting draft with many teams open to moving up or down in the Draft! Will Cam Ward indeed be the 1st Overall Pick to the Tennessee Titans? Will Shedeur Sanders fall out of the 1st Round? Will the Dallas Cowboys address their Running Back Issue or will they continue to draft poorly. What teams will reach and what teams will actually make the right decisions? All this on this weeks episode!

    NIL out of hand?🚨 | Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava Transfers | NFL Draft Top Prospects

    On this weeks episode I dive into the recent controversy surrounding former Tennessee Volunteers QB Nico Iamaleva! After coming off a strong Freshman season with Tennessee, leading the Vols to the College Football Playoff, Nico Iamaleava was primed to make a splash his sophomore season , but with NIL playing a major role in college athletics now, it was only a matter of time until it reared its ugly head. Projected to make around $2.4 million in NIL...Nico opted to hold out for more NIL money and Tennessee had enough and said no. The promising sophomore quarterback is now facing character issues, is he all about money? Will another team actually pay him? Only time will tell but one thing is for certain is that NIL is here to stay but this may get worse before it gets better! All this and more on this weeks episode!!

    HOUSTON BEATS DUKE 👀 🚨 | Ja Morant Issues | Steelers QB Room

    On this weeks episode I dive into MARCH MADNESS......and this past weekend was exactly that.......MADNESS!!!!! No. 1 Houston was trailing No. 1 Duke 67-61 with half a minute left in the game. Houston with their great defense was able to create turnovers and stops that allowed them to take a 68-67 lead and Cooper Flagg with the game on the line shorted a mid range pull-up jumper to take the lead for the Blue Devils. The game seemed to have been won but Duke picked the worst time to pull a choke job. Houston Advances to the National Championship to face the Florida Gators. Ja Morant has been a headline for all the wrong reasons because of his on and off court antics with firearms and the hand motions of firearms in game. Will Adam Silver let it go or will this continue to hinder Morant further and once again get him fined and suspended by the league? With No Deal done, the Steelers are still here twiddling their thumbs waiting whether or not Aaron Rodgers will sign a deal with Pittsburgh. With No Deal done at this time and subpar talent in the QB Room currently on roster....Where does Pittsburgh go from here? All this and more on this weeks episode!

    Fields And The Jets | CFB Coaches Hot Seat | NFL Draft Trade Possibilities

    On this weeks episode I go over the most interesting team in my opinion...The New York Jets! Justin Fields is eyeing being the QB1 in New York but will this mean long term success for him? Justin has had a rough start to his NFL career, struggling to get a foothold as a starter with Chicago, Pittsburgh, and now New York. The Jets have Breece Hall, Braelon Allen and Garrett Wilson on the offensive side of the football. While the o-line is a work in progress in my opinion this is Justin Fields last shot to prove that he is a starting calibre Quarterback in the NFL. Will Fields Succeed or will this be the last time we look at Fields as being a starter in the National Football League?

  12. 105

    NFL Mock Draft 2.0 | Entire Round 1 Predictions | Post NFL Free Agency

    On this weeks episode I release my Second Mock Draft! Now that the NFL Combine is over and NFL Free Agent has come and gone the only thing left is the NFL Draft. After long debates, the overall consensus around the NFL is that whatever team ends up with the 1st Overall Pick will Draft Quarterback Cam Ward from Miami. Will the Shedeur Sanders slander continue to "lower" his draft stock, possibly to drop out of the First Round? And is there a possibility that a 3rd Quarterback will be taken in the first round? Jaxson Dart has shot up teams draft boards to possibly become a first round pick! What NFL Teams will reach and what NFL teams will strike Gold at the end of April when the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off?!

    CHASE & HIGGINS EXTENDED | Steelers QB Situation | Warriors Real Contenders?

    On this weeks episode, I recap the NFL free agency period! The Cincinnati Bengals have reached a contract extension with Star Wide Receivers Ja' Marr Chase and Tee Higgins!!! Signing both to 4 year deals, will this move be worth it even though the Bengals defense will more than likely be a bottom unit in the NFL yet again? The Pittsburgh Steelers still have no true Quarterback plan for the future. Signing Mason Rudolph to bring him back to Pittsburgh is not the move Steeler fans were anticipating and with Russell Wilson not resigned, Justin Fields moving on to the Jets, and Aaron Rodgers still having not made a decision on who he will sign with....What does this mean for the Steelers and their future going forward? The NBA regular season is winding down and a shocking team in the West may end up becoming the Team nobody will want to play....The Golden State Warriors since Jimmy Butler got there have been on fire and have climbed to the 6th seed in the West. Can The Warriors with Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler make a deep playoff run this year and be a dark horse contender for the NBA Finals?

  14. 103

    NFL FREE AGENCY 🚨 | Metcalf To Steelers | Garrett Staying In Cleveland

    On this weeks episode I dive into the start of NFL Free Agency and there were some surprising moves and unexpected moves made over the weekend. The Cincinnati Bengals continue to be cheap and refuse to pay their star athletes by Franchise Tagging Tee Higgins and allowing Trey Hendrickson to seek a trade partner what does this mean for the Bengals going forward? The Pittsburgh Steelers made a bold trade to the Seahawks, acquiring DK Metcalf for a 2nd Round Pick to pair with George Pickens. On paper this should be the best Wide Receiver Duo in the NFL but the question remains still.......Who Will Be Their Quarterback to get the two playmakers the ball? Devante Adams is heading back to the West Coast as the Los Angeles Rams signed the veteran wide receiver to pair with Matthew Stafford and Luka Nakua. Will this move propel the Rams to Super Bowl Contenders? And the shock of the Weekend.....Myles Garrett has decided to stay in Cleveland signing a massive extension that makes him the Highest Paid Non QB in the NFL, What is Clevelands Gameplan now after locking down their star Edge Rusher for the foreseeable future? All this and more on this weeks episode!

    DEEBO TRADED TO WASHINGTON 🚨| Stafford Staying In LA

    On this weeks episode the NFL Combine is in the books and NFL Free Agency is right around the corner leading up to the NFL Draft at the end of April. There were some big news stories to break after this past weekend. Matthew Stafford...rumored to be traded to another team for a higher draft pick is now indeed STAYING IN LA WITH THE RAMS. The Veteran QB and the Rams were able to strike a deal that keeps Stafford in LA. With the LA Defense rapidly getting better and being one of the younger units in the NFL, by keeping Stafford do the Rams have a dark horse chance to make a Super Bowl Run again? The 49ers have TRADED DEEBO SAMUEL TO WASHINGTON for a 5th round pick. Washington is looking to make noise again in the NFC like last season with young star Jaydin Daniels. Can the addition of Deebo propel Washington to another level? And the 49ers are also rumored to be looking to shop Brock Purdy to Tennessee for the 1st overall pick! Is this a wise move for the 49ers and Tennessee? All this and more on this weeks episode!

    NFL Mock Draft 1.0 | Cam or Shedeur? | Entire Round 1 Predictions

    On this weeks episode, with the NFL Combine taking place this week in Indianapolis and the NFL Draft right around the corner in April, I introduce my first Mock Draft of the First Round for the 2025 NFL Draft. How many teams will look to trade up or down in the draft? Will Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders be the first Quarterbacks taken off the board? What teams will reach for players they feel can impact their franchise in such a way everyone else is not thinking about? Tennessee is On The Clock and who will make strides toward Super Bowl 60?

    NFL Draft • Free Agency • Trade Rumors | NBA All-Star Weekend Issues

    On this weeks episode...The NFL season is over but the offseason is just beginning!!! NFL Free Agency and The NFL Combine and Draft are right around the corner. What teams will improve on their current situations? Where will Aaron Rodgers end up in this stage of his career? Are the Rams ready to move on from Matthew Stafford and Cooper Cupp? And what will the Steelers do with their Quarterback Situation? Is the 2025 NFL Draft Class over or under hyped?The NBA All-Star Weekend was met with massive criticism. Stars not playing hard, a new format and overall just a subpar product put on display for NBA fans. The highlight of All-Star weekend was Mac McClung winning the NBA Dunk Contest and he was nothing short of spectacular. Where can the NBA improve and fix All-Star Weekend? Is it even Possible to do so? All this and more on this weeks episode!

    EAGLES WIN SUPER BOWL 59🚨 | KC’s Future | Phillys Future

    On this weeks episode....FLYYYY EAGLES FLYYYY....THE EAGLES ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!!!! For the first time since Nick Foles in 2017 the Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl Champions. The age old saying is "defense wins championships" and that is exactly what happened in Super Bowl 59. Much like what Tampa Bay did back in 2020, the Eagles defensive line had Mahomes running for his life all game long. The Eagles Defense DID NOT BLITZ the entire game and the defense tallied 6 Sacks, 2 Interceptions, 1 Pick-Six, and a Forced Fumble and pressured Patrick Mahomes on more than half his drop backs. The Eagles defense proved too much for the Kansas City Offense and allowed Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts to shine. The Eagles steamroll the Chiefs 40-22. Is this the start of a New Dynasty in the NFL? Did Jalen Hurts stamp himself as a Top-10 NFL Quarterback? And where does Kansas City go from here and what is their future like?

  19. 98

    LUKA TRADED TO LAKERS 🚨 | Super Bowl 59 Preview

    On this weeks episode.....LUKA DONCIC IS NOW A LOS ANGELES LAKER!!!!!!!!! This was the most shocking trade in NBA history....Luka, who is 25 years old and known as one of the Top 5 Players in the World has just been traded to the Lakers for Anthony Davis. This is a trade that shocked the sports world and makes little sense looking at the grand scheme of things. The Lakers have their succession plan to LeBron James now and The Mavericks will look to keep pace for championship aspirations in the West with the addition of Anthony Davis and elite defender and elite offensive piece. Who truly won the trade? Super Bowl 59 is this Sunday...who will win the Lombardi Trophy? Saquon Barkley and Philadelphia or will Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs claim their 3rd straight Super Bowl Title? All this and More on this weeks episode!

  20. 97

    SUPER BOWL 59 IS SET🚨 | AFC and NFC Title Game Recap

    On this weeks episode I go into the Recap of the AFC and NFC Championship Games and....SUPER BOWL 59 IS NOW SET!!!! The rematch between Kansas City and Philadelphia is set after a crazy and controversial weekend in the AFC and NFC Conference Championship Games. We saw Saquon Barkley add another 100 yard rushing game to his resume as The Eagles soared past NFC East Rival Commanders 55-23. The Eagles are loaded with their best and most dynamic roster to date. Will this addition of Saqon pay off and cap off the Eagles amazing season with a Super Bowl Championship getting the upper hand in this rematch? Mahomes continues his young career in historic fashion winning the AFC title over Josh Allen and the Bills. Less talent...same result....Kansas City is heading back to the super bowl for the 3rd year in a row trying to win the 3-Peat...something no team has done in NFL history. Will Mahomes be able to pull it off one more time to solidify himself as one of the top 2 quarterbacks to ever live? All this and more on this weeks episode.

Coach Ryan Day finally silences the critics and has stamped his legacy as one of the best coaches in College Football right now. The NFL Divisional Round is over and the Conference Championships are set. In the AFC The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Buffalo Bills in the long anticipated playoff rematch from the 2 best Quarterbacks in the NFL. In the NFC Saquon Barkley and the Eagles take on Jayden Daniels and the Commanders in an NFC East Showdown in the NFC Title Game. Who will advance to Super Bowl 59?

  22. 95

    CFP NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW 🚨| NFL Wild Card | Tomlins Future In Pitt?

    On this weeks episode, I dive into both the College Football Playoff and NFL Playoffs. The NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IS SET!!!! OHIO STATE taking on NOTRE DAME. After running through the 12 Team Playoff both teams who were doubted about their legitimacy during the regular season have clawed their way to the National Championship. Ohio State looks to win its first Title since the inaugural 4 Team Playoff in 2014...will history repeat itself in the inaugural 12 Team Playoff? Or will Notre Dame finally capture their first National Championship since 1988? WHO WINS? In the NFL playoffs we saw multiple games get out of hand and probably none more significant than the Steelers getting dismantled by Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Where do the Steelers go from here? Is it time to move on from longtime head coach Mike Tomlin? And what other changes should be made to the Steelers franchise which hasn't been the same since Ben Roethlisburger Retired? All this and more on this weeks Episode!

Ohio State will face Texas in the Cotton Bowl and Penn State takes on Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. With how Hot Ohio State is playing right now, does Texas have a chance to stun the Buckeyes?

    ROSE BOWL PREVIEW🚨👀 | CFP Quarterfinals Predictions | NFL Playoff Outlook

    On this weeks episode I dive into the Quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff. Beginning with Penn State and Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl on New Years Eve. On New Years Day Texas and Arizona State in the Peach Bowl, Ohio State vs. Oregon in the Rose Bowl and finally the Sugar Bowl with Notre Dame taking on Georgia. Who will advance to the final 4?

    CFP ROUND 1 RECAP🚨| Playoff Issues? | Chicago Bears Dumpster Fire 👀

    On this weeks episode I dive into Round 1 of the College Football Playoff. The first round was amazing as we kick off a new era of college football....12 TEAM PLAYOFF FOOTBALL. Despite the monumental milestone in college football, the games to many left a lot to be desired, mainly concerning the teams that had to go on the road and travel for the first round. EVERY...SINGLE...GAME!!! Was decided by double digits. Notre Dame over Indiana 27-17, Penn State over SMU 38-10, Texas over Clemson 38-24, and Ohio State over Tennessee 42-17. With the new format and the at-large teams that made it in have college football analysts and fans questioning the committee's decision to put them in over Miami, Alabama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina. While the first round was monumental and a little disappointing, the new 12 Team CFP is Here and it is sure to have an immaculate finish come January!

  26. 91

    JEANTY SNUBBED?👀 | CFP Round 1 Preview | 49ers Issues

    On this weeks episode I dive into the Heisman Trophy debate. Travis Hunter is the 2024 Heisman Trophy Winner! While many feel it is deserving, there are many more who believe running back Ashton Jeanty from Boise State was snubbed! While Travis is the best two-way player in the nation he's wasn't considered the best wide out or the best defensive back in the country. Jeanty meanwhile is closing in on Barry Sanders single season rushing record only needing 130 more yards to top the NFL Hall of Famer 👀. Did Travis deserve the Heisman Trophy? Or was Ashton Jeanie Snubbed for the award? All this and more on this weeks episode!

  27. 90

    THE PLAYOFF IS SET🚨 | SMU IN BAMA OUT | Committee and Playoff Flawed?

    THE PLAYOFF IS SET...NO MORE RANKINGS...THE 12 TEAM PLAYOFF IS HERE AND IT IS.......Controversial! With the playoff set to roll on December 20th there is a lot of head scratching decisions the CFB Committee made in their final seedings. Oregon completed the season undefeated and won the Big 10 Title and earned their place as the top team in College Football and their reward is having the toughest road to the National Championship 👀, SMU despite losing to Clemson in the ACC Title game was awarded the last available spot in the playoff ahead of Alabama. That begs the question, did the committee get it right? The format of the new 12 Team Playoff is very flawed in regards to Conference Championship Games, Strength of Schedule, and Auto Byes in the new CFP. With all the controversy going on, this is set for the most intriguing finish in the history of College Football. How will the playoff evolve and how will it change the dynamic of the sport in the years to come?

    CFB CONFERENCE TITLE WEEK🚨| Michigan Upsets Buckeyes 🚨| Orange Upset Miami🚨| CFB Preview

    On this weeks episode I dive into the end of the Regular Season in College Football! The biggest surprises of this past week were No. 2 Ohio State losing to an inferior Michigan team in Columbus 13-10, keeping the Buckeyes from playing in a rematch against Oregon in the Big 10 Championship Game! What does this mean for the future of head coach Ryan Day? Having lost to Michigan for the 4th straight year does this warrant a head coaching change in Columbus? And Syracuse after being down 21-0 to the No. 6 Miami Hurricanes pull off a comeback for the ages to upset the Hurricanes 42-38, eliminating Miamis chance at the ACC Championship game. Will the Canes resume hold up against Alabama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina for one of the final spots in the college football playoff? The Conference Title Games are set and who will make the final 12 Team Playoff come Selection Sunday. The Big 12 comes down to Iowa State and Arizona State, The Big 10 with Oregon taking on Penn State, The ACC with SMU taking on Clemson, and in the SEC the anticipated rematch between Georgia and Texas! WHOS IN?

    THE GAME 🚨| CFB Conference Outlook | CFB Playoff

    On this weeks episode...THE GAME is here, Saturday November 30th, the rivalry is renewed between Ohio State and Michigan. Michigan having a down year looks to empty the tank against Ohio State and keep them from going to the Big 10 Title game against Oregon. Ohio State having lost the past three years to Michigan look to rebound in a big way and send a message that Ohio State is back on top in the most hated rivalry in college football. This being the Last week of the regular season, who will compete for the Conference Championships? Georgia Clinched their spot with Alabama and Ole Miss getting upset last week and now the Bulldogs wait patiently for the winner between Texas and Texas A&M to see who they will face in the SEC Title. SMU clinches the first ACC Title bid and now waits for the finish between Miami and Syracuse...A win for Miami sends them to play SMU but a loss sends Clemson to the Title game...Playoff Hopes hang in the balance for Miami and Clemson this week. Oregon waits to see if it will rematch Ohio State or will face Penn State or Indiana in the Big 10 Championship. And which two out of Arizona State, BYU, Colorado, and Iowa State will find themselves in the Big 12 Title Game? All this and more on this weeks episode!

    College Football Playoff Predictions | Conference Championship Outlook | CFB & NFL

    On this weeks episode, with 2 weeks left in the regular season, I dive into all the conferences in College Football and discuss the possible outcomes of the regular season and who will possibly make the conference championship games and represent their conference in the college football playoff as a champion. The ACC is down to three teams...SMU, Miami, and Clemson. Clemson needs help to get to Charlotte but if the Hurricanes and Mustangs win the remaining 2 weeks they will meet to crown the ACC Champion. The Big 12 is a close race with Colorado, BYU, Arizona State, and Iowa State, all still in contention for the top 2 spots in the Big 12. The Big 10 is down to Oregon, Ohio State, Indiana, and Penn State. The odds have Oregon and Ohio State meeting for a rematch in the title game but the Buckeyes will be tested this week against Indiana. The biggest dog fight is the SEC with 6 TEAMS who can still make the SEC Title...Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Tennessee all still have a chance to make it to the SEC Championship Game. I also make my 12 Team Playoff Prediction...with the season coming to a close and only a few weeks remaining to decide who will make the CFP I make my prediction of who the 12 Teams will be going at it for the National Championship at the conclusion of the year.

    On this weeks episode I dive into the most hyped weekend of College Football. Oregon v. Ohio State, USC v. Penn State, Alabama v. South Carolina, Tennessee v. Florida, and the Red River Rivalry Texas and Oklahoma. This week has been circled on a lot of college football fas calendars and it did not disappoint. Penn State won a thriller in Overtime against USC, Texas gave the Sooners the Belt, South Carolina nearly upset Alabama, Florida took Tennessee to the brink in overtime but came up short. and the big game of the week, Oregon wins a thriller against Ohio State 32-31. With all the crazy endings happening in the Big 10 and the SEC the 12 team playoff is going to be madness at the end of the year!In the NFL, Pittsburgh rebounds against the Raiders 32-13 but even though the performance and score say one thing, the game itself was uneventful regarding Pittsburghs offense. Najee Harris finally had 100 years rushing performance but the rest of the Steelers offense looked inept. Pittsburgh has yet to put together a game where the rushing and passing attacks are in sync. The Dallas Cowboys got boat raced out of their home stadium by the Detroit Lions 47-9. Despite the injury to Aidan Hutchinson, the lions have started to hit their stride and have the most dominant O-Line and rushing attacks in the league led by David Montgomery and Jamyr Gibbs.

    Miami Survives V Tech | Bama Beats Georgia | Darnold MVP? | CFB & NFL Recap

    On this weeks episode, I dive into the next recap of the College Football and NFL season. Friday Night....Controversy reared its ugly head in the #8 Miami Hurricanes v. Virginia Tech game. Was the final play a touchdown or was it an incompletion? Called Touchdown on the field was later overturned after video review. A tough call all the way around it went in favor of the Canes...Miami wins 38-34. Alabama and Georgia lived up to the hype in the end, early on Jalen Milroe and the Tide jumped to a 28-0 lead. Georgia clawed back to take a lead late in the 4th but Milroe to freshman sensation Ryan Williams put the Tide back on top and survived the Dawgs 41-34.

I give my first "Laykos List" for my top 10 teams after week 5.In the young NFL season despite the Steelers losing to the Colts 27-24, Justin Fields had arguably his best Game as a pro throwing for over 300 yards 1 TD and rushing for another 2. Have the Steelers turned a corner on offense after years of incompetence? The Eagles fall to the Buccaneers again 33-16 and Jalen Hurts has been playing poorly. Since the departure of Shane Steichen Jalen Hurts leads the NFL in turnovers and Saquon Barkley is the only one providing offense for Philly. Cleveland is in trouble again with another subpar performance by Watson...but is it really all his fault? Cleveland leads the NFL in drops this season as Cleveland drops their second straight game to the Raiders. All that and more on this weeks episode.

    Bears O-Line Struggles | CFB Week 4 Recap | NFL Week 3 Recap

    On this weeks episode I go over week 4 in college football and week 3 in the NFL. College football is shaping up to be one for the ages with all the teams that are going to be in the mix for the 12 Team College Football Playoff. After taking Alabama to the brink a few weeks ago, USF looked to shock college football against another top 10 team in the Miami Hurricanes. Trailing 22-15 at half time, the Bulls were in position to make it a game.......which did not happen. Cam Ward and Miami went on to score 28 unanswered points in the second half to route the Bulls 50-15. Cam Ward continues his push for the Heisman trophy after a 400 years performance. Arch Manning in his second career start showed out and led Texas to a 51-3 win over UL Monroe. Texas is stamping themselves as the best team in college football. With Quinn Ewers still recovering from injury, the Texas Offense has not skipped a beat with Manning under center. In the NFL Justin Fields continues his impressive start in Pittsburgh beating the Chargers 20-10 in Pittsburgh. The Dallas Cowboys fail again to stop the run as the Ravens went into Jerry World to get their first win 28-25 putting over 200 yards rushing as a team together. And Caleb Williams is still showing flashes but the offensive line still hinders any progress Caleb is making....through the first 3 weeks of his NFL career, Williams has already been sacked 13 times and is running for his life in the backfield. Signs show exactly what the issue was when Fields was at the helm in Chicago...a terrible Offensive Line. All this and more of this weeks episode.

    Tuas Future | CFB Week 3 Recap | NFL Week 2 Recap

    On this weeks episode I dive into another weeks recap of College Football and NFL Football. FSU falls to 0-3 after their loss to Memphis at Home, the Gators drop to 1-2 after a home loss to Texas A&M. The Georgia Bulldogs narrowly survive Kentucky 13-12...Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide pile drive Wisconsin 41-10...Miami continues to flex with a 62-0 win over Ball State...and Arch Manning steps in for an injured Quinn Ewers and Balls Out. Texas is now ranked #1 in the nation, for the first time since the 2008 season with Colt McCoy. Does Quinn still have the Job or is it now time for the Arch Manning Show? The NFL was full of upsets and blowout wins in week 2, The Pittsburgh Steelers with Justin Fields beat the Broncos and move to 2-0 despite only scoring one offensive touchdown so far this year. Through the first 2 weeks, rookie QB's have thrown for a total of ZERO touchdowns and have thrown 6 interceptions. Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, and Jayden Daniels are learning real quick how different of an animal the NFL is compared to College. And the Dallas Cowboys suffer another brutal home loss in embarrassing fashion...losing to the New Orleans Saints 44-19. But the biggest story in the NFL is the issue with Miami Dolphins Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who suffered another concussion on a scramble and collision with Bills safety Demar Hamilin. This being Tuas 4th concussion in as many years even when he was back at Alabama...the question lingers should Tua call it a career? Time will tell what Tuas future holds as CTE and concussions are the most serious injury in football across all levels. All this and more on this week's episode!

    NFL Week 1 Recap | CFB Week 2 Recap | Shedeur Sanders Reality Check

    On this weeks episode I dive into a recap of Week 1 of the NFL season and a recap of Week 2 in College Football. With football season in full swing there are no shortage of stories to talk about and games to discuss. In week 2 of college football we saw Northern Illinois travel to South Bend Indiana to take on the 5th ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish......and win! RANKED 5TH IN THE NATION, The Irish came up short to Northern Illinois 16-14. One of the biggest upsets of the year and recent memory, where does Notre Dame go from here to make the CFB Playoff? How Good Really is Shedeur Sanders? Because he is only showing how overhyped he is right now after a terrible performance against Nebraska. Boise State Running Back Ashton Jeanty has put the country on notice despite the loss to Oregon 37-34. With over 400 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns through only 2 games, how far can Boise State roll this year? Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, Miami and Alabama continue their dominance early on this season to make their cases as the Nations Elite. Who are the Early Heisman Trophy Contenders this season? Ashton Jeanie, Cam Ward, and Quin Ewers are making their cases.The NFL is back and did not disappoint in week 1, Dallas signed Dak to a 4 year - $240 Mil contract...$60 Million a year as they rolled Cleveland 33-17. Deshaun Watson is showing how much of a mistake it was for Cleveland to give him that massive contract. Pittsburgh was the only AFC North team to win a game this opening week despite not scoring a single touchdown against Atlanta. The Rams and Lions put on a show which saw Detroit besting LA 26-20 after an overtime thriller...is this a preview of this years NFC Championship? All this and more on this weeks episode.

    Georgia Tech Upsets FSU | College Football Week 1 Preview | NFL Super Bowl Bubble

    On this weeks Episode, COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!! Week 0 has come and gone, and we already had a massive upset take place. #10 Florida State was shocked by Georgia Tech 24-21 on a last second field goal. The era of the 12 team playoff has officially begun and Florida State looked to right the ship after failing to make the CFB Playoff last year and lose to Georgia 63-3 in the Orange Bowl. Florida State QB DJ Uiagalelei, struggled to push the ball downfield with inaccurate deep ball throws. Georgia Tech led by QB Haynes King and new Defensive Coordinator Tyler Santucci, held FSU to only 98 rushing yards while running for over 190 on the Seminole. Florida State now has a massive hole to climb out of and their chances of making the ACC Championship and the CFB Playoff have nearly faded away. Is Georgia Tech the real deal? Will FSU bounce back? Week 1 of the college football season begins with major matchups that will shape college football rankings and playoff implications instantly. At Noon - Georgia vs. Clemson, 3:30 - Miami vs Florida, Night Game - Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M, and Sunday - USC vs. LSU. All these matchups and more have the potential to be deciding factors for later in the season when the 12 teams are selected for the playoff. WHOS IN?With the final preseason game in the books, the NFL regular season begins soon and who will climb the mountain again and call themselves Super Bowl Champions? Will the Ravens and Lamar Jackson finally achieve playoff success? Will Josh Allen and Buffalo finally get over the hump? How big an impact will Aaron Rodgers have with the Jets? Will Detroit finally make their 1st Super Bowl? Or will Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes continue their dominance and continue the dynasty that is beginning to rival Brady in New England?

    CeeDee Hold Out | Judon To Atlanta | Russ or Fields?

    On this weeks Episode, the CeeDee Lamb hold out continues in Jerry World. The Dallas Cowboys need CeeDee Lamb on the field otherwise who does Dan Prescott have to throw the football to? Jerry Jones all offseason was expressing how he is going "all in" which apparently means make no additions to the offense other than old Zeke Elliot. If CeeDee is not on the field the Cowboys wide receiving core might be worse than New Englands situation. The value CeeDee has to Dallas is monumental and Jerry Jones needs to get a contract done with him. He pulled the same stunt years ago with Emmitt Smith, however that was resolved. Will Jerry finally pay Lamb? Or is this the start of the downfall of the Cowboys chances at making it back to the post season?College Football Returns this Saturday, August 24th, and the most notable game is an early ACC matchup between the Florida State Seminole and the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets. Will FSU start the season off on the right foot in their drive to get to the College Football Playoff? Or was the massive loss to Georgia in the Orange Bowl a sign of things to come for FSU?The QB debate in Pittsburgh heats up as both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are looking to claim the QB1 spot for week 1 in Atlanta. Both QB's have struggled and it begs the question...What does this say about the Steelers team as a whole? Will they have an actual offense for the first time since Big Ben retired or will they continue this run of mediocrity at the QB position and the offense as a whole? All that and more on this weeks episode!

Time is going to tell whether or not these 6 first round Quarterbacks will pan out.New Englands Wide Receiver Core is rated 32/32 according to (PFF) and now having cut veteran JuJu Smith-Schuster, New England has Wide Outs that are great 3 and 4 Options but none have the ability or the skill of a Number 1 Receiver Option like Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase. With Joe Milton, New Englands 7th round QB outperforming Drake Maye, does this make it more likely Drake Maye will be a bust in the NFL?Was Arthur Smith the right hire to be the Steelers OC? Is Russel Wilson Washed? Will Justin Fields Turn his Career Around? And what teams will Shock the College Football World? All This On This Weeks Episode.

    Jordan Love & Tua Tagovailoa Extended | Robert Downey Jr as Dr Doom | NFL QBs Under Pressure

    On this week's episode, I dive into the long anticipated contract extensions that were rumored for Quarterbacks Jordan Love (Green Bay) and Tua Tagovailoa (Miami). Both Quarterbacks have been widely praised and equally criticized for their play on the field. Both have their pros and cons as to what an NFL team wants in their franchise quarterback. Jordan Love had a rough first few years and was considered a bust for a time, but from Week 11 onward last season, Jordan Love went on a tear and started to turn some heads with his play as he rallied off 6 wins, 18 Touchdowns to only 1 interception, a perfect passer rating and added a blowout win in the wild card round at Dallas and Had the eventual NFC Champion 49ers on the ropes. Tua has had an up and down career up to this point, and many wonder if he elevates the Dolphins or if the Dolphins elevate Tua. Regardless, both QB's have earned their way to $200 Million Dollar Contracts, and one question still remains....Are they worth it?The Ups and Downs of Marvel have been startling since Avengers Endgame. Marvel fans have been wondering what direction the MCU was heading. Missing the next "Thanos" level threat, this past weekend at Comic-Con Marvel has taken a massive swing. After a long wait, Robert Downey Jr is finally making his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not as Iron Man....But as Dr. Doom! Downey Jr will play the long anticipated villain Dr. Victor Von Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Will this pay off for Marvel? Or does this have the potential to be the biggest mistake Marvel has yet to make. With the Russo Brothers back and directing the next 2 Avenger films, there are high hopes that the Russo's and Downey Jr will bring the MCU back to the top of the mountain in the film industry. Will it pay off? Time will tell.

    Brandon Aiyuk Demands Trade | Caitlin Clark Snubbed For Olympics | Top 10 NFL Coaches In 2024

    On this weeks episode, I talk about the recent news about 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk demanding a trade from San Francisco. Failing to reach a long term agreement, how will this affect the 49ers going forward and where will Aiyuk continue his career? Will this hinder progress made by Brock Purdy or will this be a chance for Purdy to really shine and prove that he is indeed the future of 49ers football in the bay?Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever has brought in so much buzz and interest to the WNBA since entering the league this year. She has brought attention and a spark to the league which the WNBA has been looking for! But what does this say about the league leaving Clark off of the Women's Olympic Team? Especially since her All-Star Team went toe to toe and beat the women's Olympic Team?Is the success of Nick Caserio the biggest indictment on Bill Belichicks Career Right Now? After years of having to sit through and watch the former coach of New England Butcher every draft year in and year out, Nick has created one of the most talented young and upcoming teams in the NFL with the Houston Texans, led by rising star QB CJ Stroud. Is Nicks Success the biggest reason why Bill does not have another NFL Head Coaching Gig?The Top 10 Coaches in the NFL currently are those who are specifically great in one area, and with many talk shows ranking coaches and players before the season begins every single year, I rank my top 10 NFL Coaches currently going into the 2024 NFL Season.

    Trump Situation | 2024 Election | NFL & CFB Championship Bubbles

An assassination attempt was made on the former President of the United States. The shot grazed Former President Trumps ear and unfortunately two bystanders were left in critical condition and one more tragically losing their life.

With the election just months away, Donald Trump has become the sure fire favorite to become President of The United States again.Aaron Rodgers...One of the greatest Quarterbacks of all time...or is he? From a talent perspective, 1000000% Yes, but as far as postseason success and super bowls, Aaron Rodgers is not in G.O.A.T. Category. I talk about other quarterbacks who aren't looked at as better than Aaron Rodgers, but the postseason stats prove they're closer than anybody thinks. I also discuss my personal Super Bowl and CFB Playoff Bubble, Teams I Know can win their respective championships and those who have an outside punchers chance to win both.
