An eventful week across College Football brings Conference Championship weekend, CFP Predictions, Heisman boards, and coaching changes.
Conference Championship Weekend has arrived, and the College Football Playoff race is tight along the bubble. In this episode, Blake Biscardi, David Wertheim, and Grant Kincaid break down all four major conference title matchups and predict who will punch their ticket to the CFP.
Brina Hartline is set to become the next head coach at USF, leaving Ohio State after nearly a decade. Hartline will remain with the Buckeyes through the postseason to “finish it the right way,” according to head coach Ryan Day. Who could replace the talented recruiter and coach in Columbus? Does Chip Kelly make sense? The guys discuss some options and how they affect Ohio State, with Indiana on the docket for Saturday.
We start in the Big Ten, where Ohio State looks to cap its dominant season against an Indiana team playing elite football. Then it’s off to the ACC for Virginia vs. Duke, a clash that could produce a new face to the College Football Playoff. The Big 12 brings a rematch as Texas Tech and BYU meet in a high-variance, must-watch showdown. And in the SEC, Georgia and Alabama renew their heavyweight rivalry. Can Georgia and Kirby Smart fix its Alabama problem? Will the Tide stay in the bracket with a loss?
We close with a full breakdown of the Playoff bubble: Alabama, Notre Dame, BYU, Miami, Vanderbilt, and Texas, detailing each team’s path, odds, and what results they need to survive Championship Saturday.
