  • Great show but a few flaws

    I really like the show but I get sick of the way Andy is constantly crapping on Ari. Sometimes it’s so annoying I have to stop listening.

  • Review bombing is lame, these guys cover CFB the right way.

    These guys are a solid listen and have a ton of industry experience to back up their opinions. They talk about more than most shows and have fun doing it. Even when they say something stupid I’m entertained.

  • Love Andy BUT Ari is the worst

    Pompous, pseudo intellectuals repeatedly use words/phrases like “revelatory, contextualize, proof-of-concept…”. Ari is the worst. Same tired cliches from AW every show. “Give him his flowers” is such a douchy and wussie thing to say, let alone repeat routinely. It is really NOT something that adult, grown men should say. Ari is the absolute worst with his forced radio accent, his phony intellectualism, and his pompous, pretentious demeanor. (Let’s “contextualize”…”) Andy, pls stick with the coo... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Penn State’s time is NOW with Matt Campbell | ACC & Conference Tiebreakers | Nate Bargatze lands Jared Curtis a movie role
Q: Can you walk us through your criteria and process for choosing Penn State?
Campbell outlines three core values (family, leadership, cultural fit) and why Penn State matched those criteria, including leadership at the university and the alignment with his personal life philosophy.
Is a giant College Football Playoff INEVITABLE? ACC and Big 12 back 24-team CFP | Duke Head Coach Manny Diaz Joins
Q: How does Duke plan to defend its ACC title given the transfer portal disruptions?
Diaz describes relying on a mix of transferring veterans and developing internal depth, with a focus on culture, leadership, and a strong strength and conditioning program to compensate for roster turnover.
Why the 24-team College Football Playoff is NONSENSE: Who can fight it?
Q: So here's what makes this very interesting. Greg Sankey, two or three years ago, would have already gotten what he wanted, which is a 16-team playoff with mostly automatic bids. How does the 24-team plan shift the leverage and what does that mean for stopping or enabling this change?
The discussion centers on shifting coalitions and the idea that in a 24-team setup, the two key players (Sankey and Petitti) hold the leverage; if they don't agree, a deal cannot happen. The SEC's financial stake in conference championship revenue and the Big Ten's support for Petitti complicate a potential veto, but the balance of power could tilt as conferences reassess the benefit and cost of automatic bids vs. at-large formats.
Oklahoma LB Owen Heinecke RETURNING: 2026 expectations for Brent Venables and the Sooners | Top College Football Uniforms
Q: Does Owen Heinecke coming back guarantee Oklahoma a championship?
The hosts push back and then acknowledge that while it doesn't guarantee a title, Heinecke significantly improves Oklahoma's defense and overall depth, which could help them be more competitive and potentially contend.
College Football Playoff: EXPANDING to 24 teams? Do CFB fans want a bigger format? SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee joins | Kalen DeBoer extended at Alabama
Q: What is your ideal playoff look like?
Rhett Lashlee argues for a 16 to 24-team playoff, highlighting 24 as a strong option due to inclusion for more teams and parity, while acknowledging downsides and the need to fix the calendar; he emphasizes that there will always be trade-offs and that 24 could balance inclusion with television and revenue concerns.
