A look back at the first four CFP games (Bama erasing a 17-0 deficit in Norman, Miami's defense getting after A&M, Oregon and Ole Miss taking care of business) and also a peek at what's coming ahead in the next round.

On the final Gauer Hour of 2025, Rob and Megan recap a fairly quiet week across the sport, but find reasons for optimism in Durham. Then they'll preview the final weekend before the sport shuts down for Christmas week - it feels like we'll learn a lot about Stanford, Oregon, and some Big 12 teams with gaudy records facing the top of the league. Then we close by handing out some Christmas gifts, and draft our all-time Stanford teams.

One week to go until Christmas, but CFP starts in less than 48 hours so let's round up the rest of the CSN gang and get some analysis. Wayne Cook joins the show from So Cal, Felder checks in from his home office, and Hartzell & Tripp are riding along for the good vibes. Phil Steele makes his weekly appearance to break down the four playoff games (plus a little FCS playoff action as well), and as usual Phil might be the only one on the show seeing things clearly. Felder is triggered by some comments Pete Golding had on Wednesday at the podium about some of his players living in the same country club that he lives in. Hartzell heard the same audio but translated it very differently, and you already know how Wayne feels about the modern student-athlete. Once the show gets back on track there is actual football talk. Felder picks a massive upset - which is something he's been doing with aplomb all season on this show. Can he stay hot in the CFP? Tripp gives his highest rated play of the weekend. And Hartzell doubles down on his Dukes. Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and let's get ready to enjoy these games!
