  • Belichick's UNC debut falls flat & 'The U' is back! + Ohio State claims #1 in the AP poll
    Sep 2 2025

    Bill Belichick has officially debuted in college football! The legendary NFL head coach is lauded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, NFL head coaches of all-time. The entire off-season, all of the drama and the pomp and circumstance led up to Monday night. The stars came out, the stadium was packed and the North Carolina Tar Heels drove right down the field and scored on their first drive of the game. It all went down hill not too long after that, culminating in a deflating 48-14 loss to TCU. The Belichick Era did not get off to the start he, and many others, had hoped for. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what went wrong, what surprised them about North Carolina and TCU, what they think TCU can accomplish this season and if they think North Carolina can turn it around this year.

    Later, the guys chat about Sunday night's electric matchup in Miami that saw the newly ranked fifth team in the country, Miami, take down the now ranked ninth team, Notre Dame. Is 'The U' back? Andy, Ross and Steven discuss this exact topic as they look at the Hurricanes' Sunday night performance and peek at what lies ahead for the team. They also give their thoughts on the Fighting Irish and what their season outlook is. Plus, they dive into Auburn's 38-24 win on Friday and talk about what that win did for Hugh Freeze.

    Finally, the latest AP Top 25 poll is out! Ross released his Top 10 on Monday and the latest AP poll came out today. Both rankings have the college football world fired up as fanbases clamor to explain why their team should be ranked higher. The guys discuss the rankings and explain why rankings this early are really just something to talk about.

  • Florida State dominates Alabama & Ohio State takes down Texas! + Notre Dame/Miami preview
    Aug 31 2025

    The first full Saturday of college football is in the books! A few games are left on the Week 1 slate, but plenty of drama has already been provided.

    Saturday saw a huge clash of titans, in Columbus, Ohio, as #3 Ohio State hosted #1 Texas. Two first-year starting quarterbacks were at the helms of both offenses, and it showed as defense owned the day. The low-scoring affair concluded with Ohio State's defense coming out on top as the Buckeyes took down the Longhorns 14-7. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey breakdown the game. Has Arch Manning been overhyped, or is the heavy criticism coming a little too soon? Does Ohio State look poised to make a run at repeating as national champions? Plus, Saturday's College Gameday at the Texas vs. Ohio State game was Lee Corso's final show. He went out a winner on his 431st headgear pick, ending the same way he started, by picking the Buckeyes. He then watched the game from the press box and Ross tells a behind the scenes story of Lee Corso joining him up in the press box to watch the game.

    Later, the guys chat about some more Saturday drama. The biggest shock of the day was #8 Alabama being upset by unranked Florida State. An upset that only Lee Corso saw coming. The Kalen DeBoer era has had some slip-ups that were rarely seen by his predecessor and it has people wondering how much longer he may last in Tuscaloosa. The guys share their thoughts on Coach DeBoer's situation in Alabama and what Florida State did to be successful. Are the Seminoles a team to be reckoned with this season? Plus they dive into one more game as they recap #9 LSU defeating #4 Clemson. What did they see from both teams that are encouraging signs for the rest of the season?

    Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven take a look at how they did on their picks from Thursday. Despite how those picks may have gone, they decide to make one more pick as they preview Sunday night's game of #6 Notre Dame visiting #10 Miami. What questions do they need answered to believe 'The U' is back? Do they trust the Irish with a new quarterback running the show? They answer all of these and more.

  • Week 1 preview: Arch Manning and Bill Belichick eras begin! + Deion Sanders' year 3 expectations
    Aug 28 2025

    Week 1 has arrived! We get five straight days of college football to get started! What a wonderful time of year. Along with the excitement comes a lot of expectations from anxious fans waiting to see how the year plays out for their favorite teams. Someone with possibly the greatest amount of expectations is none other than Texas quarterback Arch Manning. The nephew of legendary NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning stepped foot onto campus two years ago with a mound of expectations. After two years of waiting, and short glimpses of what the future could hold, Manning will lead the top-ranked Longhorns into 'The Shoe' to face the defending national champions, third-ranked Ohio State. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss everything that led up to this moment for Manning and what they expect from him this season.

    Later, the guys discuss another era that begins to the east of Austin, in North Carolina. Chapel Hill to be specific. Legendary NFL head coach Bill Belichick begins his collegiate coaching career with the Tar Heels. Ross went to Chapel Hill during the offseason and spoke with Coach Belichick. Ross shares his insight from the conversation about the impact Coach is already having on his team and the university as a whole. Then they keep the discussion among the coaching ranks, but they move back west, as they dive into expectations for Deion Sanders in year three at Colorado. They discuss the misconceptions that Coach Sanders wasn't bought in at Colorado and how people should no longer question that. They also discuss what is different about this year's Colorado squad after losing Shedeur and Travis.

    As the show comes to a close, the guys chat about what coaches are on the hot seat heading into the season. They look to the SEC. More specifically, they look at Oklahoma's Brent Venables, Florida's Billy Napier and Auburn's Hugh Freeze. What do they have to do to keep their tenure going at their respective schools?

    Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven make their picks! Each host picking one game from the weekend. Central Michigan at San Jose State, Nebraska vs. Cincinnati and Syracuse vs. 24th-ranked Tennessee are the games of choice for this week!
