Ep 294The NCAA throws Darts Only at Jim Harbaugh | Which non-QBs could win the Heisman??
The NCAA has dropped the hammer on Jim Harbaugh. Not that he cares, because he’s coaching in the NFL now. But the saga of Harbaugh never fails to make everyone mad.(0:00-15:33) Intro - Jim Harbaugh Show Cause(15:34-21:46) Darts Only 🎯(21:47-23:27) Illinois' Clean Uniforms(23:28-30:30) Dear Andy, what are the conference tiebreakers?(30:31-40:49) Where should FSU and Clemson go?(40:50-44:54) Non-QBs to Win Heisman(44:55-46:30) Join On3 for $1 for a month! on3.com/join(46:31-49:40) Playing a team 3 times in new era(49:41-55:37) Players we will know by December(55:38-58:02) Oregon, Ohio St 1 Loss a piece when they play or Coaches Poll's 11-16 making SEC title game(58:03-1:01:32) Full Naming Rights?(1:01:33-1:01:50) ConclusionThis four-year show cause with accompanying one-year suspension stems from the Cheeseburgergate case, not the Connor Stalions case. That one remains ongoing. Does Harbaugh care? Probably not. Does anyone at Michigan care? Probably not anymore. Are Ohio State fans still mad? You betcha.Andy also examines the Darts Only phenomenon that has taken over the college football Internet after Colorado’s official Twitter account posted an oddly edited throw. What followed was hilarious, and the videos are still coming.Next, it’s time for Dear Andy, and you have some great questions. Among them…What are the championship game tiebreakers in conferences that have eliminated divisions this year?Are there any non-quarterbacks who can win the Heisman this year?Are Texas and Florida State not really back?Want to watch the show?

Ep 292Win totals with College GameDay’s Stanford Steve! Can Notre Dame top 10.5? Will USC top 7.5?
“Stanford Steve” Coughlin of ESPN’s College GameDay joins Andy to talk win totals. But first, we’ve got a preseason poll!The first coaches poll is out. Georgia is No. 1, Ohio State is No. 2, and everyone disagrees with pretty much every other team’s placement. Now seems like a good time for Andy’s annual rant about why we have preseason polls and why they’re never going away.Monday also brought bad news out of South Bend. Notre Dame left tackle Charles Jagusah tore his right pec muscle at practice during the weekend and will have to miss the season. That’s a massive blow, because the Fighting Irish had chosen Jagusah to replace first-round draft pick Joe Alt, and the redshirt freshman seemed on the verge of a breakout season.Next, it’s time for win totals with Stanford Steve. We had so many to talk about that we broke the conversation into two parts. (Part two will be on Wednesday’s show.) Today, Andy and Steve discuss…Notre Dame (10.5 wins)Miami (9.5 wins)Florida (4.5 wins)Indiana (5.5 wins)USC (7.5 wins)Oklahoma (7.5 wins)We wrap up with what the College Football Playoff would look like if it was reflective to the Pre-Season Coaches PollWant to watch the show instead?

Ep 286Nebraska AD Troy Dannen has SEEN IT ALL in the past year | Wisconsin OT Jack Nelson revs up for 2024
We start with a visit from On3’s Pete Nakos to help translate the House v. NCAA settlement — which was submitted late last week to a federal court for review — into plain English. The NCAA and schools are trying to restrict NIL deals, but will that get approved by the judge? And even if it does, would it survive legal challenges down the road?(0:00-3:21) Intro - Georgia receiver arrested(3:21 -5:09) Previewing the show(5:10-5:46) Pete Nakos joins(5:47-19:51) House Settlement Update(26:33-42:34) Nebraska AD Troy Dannen Joins(42:35-50:18) Big Ten Discussion(50:20-57:32) Wisconsin OL Jack Nelson joins(57:33-1:00:46) ConclusionAndy and Pete will try to figure out how college sports will actually work in a post-House settlement world.Next, Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen joins the show to talk about all the recent changes in college sports — and he has an incredibly unique perspective. This time last year, Dannen was Tulane’s AD. Soon after, he was hired by Washington. While there, he worked on the Huskies’ transition to the Big Ten and had to replace a football coach when Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama. Then Trev Alberts left Nebraska for the Texas A&M AD job and Dannen was hired at Nebraska. Now he’s working on a 17-item action agenda handed to him by football coach Matt Rhule.Later, Andy talks to Wisconsin’s Jack Nelson, who is living a childhood dream as the Badgers’ left tackle. Nelson also knows how to bring a dead engine back to life. Plus, Andy asks if Wisconsin OC Phil Longo has ever quoted Bruce Lee during a meeting.Want to watch the show instead?

Ep 285Donovan Edwards and Michigan are ready to RUN IT BACK | Washington coach Jedd Fisch
(0:00-0:40) Intro(0:41-5:37) Michigan at Big Ten Media Days(5:38-19:19) Donovan Edwards at Big Ten Media Days(19:20-27:06) Dan Lannign at Big Ten Media Days(27:07-34:06) Oregon LB Jeffrey Bassa joins the show(34:07-50:19) Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch Joins(50:20-57:52) Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti Joins(57:53-58:37) Conclusion - See you next week!With all the talk about Ohio State’s offseason roster moves and Oregon’s entry into the Big Ten, it’s easy to forget that the Big Ten also is home to the defending national champs. Michigan visited Big Ten Media Days on Thursday and offered a reminder that while the Wolverines lost a lot of great players to the NFL, the cupboard isn’t bare.One potential breakout star is Donovan Edwards, who struggled through a disappointing 2023 season before exploding for 104 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries in the national title game win against Washington.Edwards talked Thursday about how he got through last season and how much he’s grown ahead of this season.Next, Andy breaks down Oregon coach Dan Lanning’s discussion of recruiting. Oregon has a big NIL war chest, but not an unlimited one. But does it bother Lanning that his recruiting success is credited to NIL deals when recruiting wins at Georgia or Ohio State are credited differently?After that, Oregon linebacker Jeffrey Bassa discusses the huge expectations for the Ducks.Then we look at the other side of the Oregon-Washington rivalry as new Huskies coach Jedd Fisch joins Andy to talk about rebuilding a team that won’t look anything like the one that played for a national title.Andy is then joined by another first-year coach — Indiana’s Curt Cignetti. Cignetti won big at James Madison, and he’s loaded the Hoosiers’ roster with veteran transfers who played well at the Group of 5 level. Will that method produce a quick start at a place not known for winning football?Want to watch the show instead?

Everyone had a interesting story at Big Ten media days on Wednesday, so we’ll whip around the league.(0:00-3:21) Intro(3:22-12:15) James Franklin Joins(12:16-18:00) Deshaun Foster's Opening Statement(18:01-24:20) Deshaun Foster Interview(24:21-35:55) Lincoln Riley Entering Year 3(35:56-37:15) Nebraska Discussion(37:16-43:07) Huskers Center Ben Scott Joins(43:08-50:54) Nebraska's Ty Robinson Joins(50:55-1:13:59) John Canzano joins(1:14:00-1:15:27) ConclusionPenn State coach James Franklin joins the show to discuss how new coordinators Andy Kotelnicki (offense) and Tom Allen (defense) will blend what they’ve done in the past with what Penn State players have done. Franklin also weighs in a classic Pennsylvania debate: Sheetz or Wawa?New UCLA coach DeShaun Foster’s opening statement got panned by the Internet, but the Internet should have listened to how Foster answered the questions he got about taking over the Bruins under less-than-ideal circumstances. Foster joined Andy to talk about replacing Chip Kelly and about how he reshaping UCLA’s recruiting operation.Next, Andy breaks down some of USC coach Lincoln Riley’s answers at media days. Riley says USC is still playing catch-up, which probably isn’t satisfying to hear as year three begins. But if Riley is right about the defense getting better under new coordinator D’Anton Lynn, then there should be reason for excitement.Later, Andy talks to Nebraska center Ben Scott and defensive tackle Ty Robinson about being huge.Finally, Andy sits down with John Canzano (JohnCanzano.com (http://JohnCanzano.com)) to break down how the Big Ten became this new version of itself.Want to watch the show instead?

Ep 283It's National Title or BUST for Ohio State, Ryan Day | Can Lincoln Riley & USC adjust to the Big 10?
Ohio State was the main attraction on the first day of Big Ten media days, and the Buckeyes weren’t shying away from massive expectations or questions about their losing streak to Michigan.(0:00-1:18) Intro(1:19-6:38) An Update on the Jaden Rashada Suing Billy Napier Case(6:39-8:51) Spencer Holbrook from Lettermen Row Joins(8:52-14:02) Ryan Day chats with the guys from Lettermen Row(14:03-34:19) Continuing the Ohio State Discussion with Spencer(34:20-54:01) Geoff Schwartz Joins to talk USC, Oregon(54:02-1:00:27) Discussion on Washington Iowa(1:00:28-1:02:43) Conclusion - Bret Bielema's TattooFirst, Spencer Holbrook and Andy Backstrom of On3’s Lettermen Row talk to Day about the start of camp and the difficulty in choosing representatives from a team that could have a dozen captains.Next, Spencer joins Andy (Staples) to discuss the expectations surrounding Ohio State. Spencer also talks about the new dynamics as Day cedes offensive control to new coordinator Chip Kelly. Plus, how long will it be before Kansas State transfer Will Howard is named QB1?Later, Geoff Schwartz of SiriusXM joins Andy to discuss the new Big Ten. Geoff played at Oregon and is still getting used to being a Big Ten legend, but he has a lot of thoughts about Ohio State and its quest for a title and about why USC has not lived up to some lofty expectations in the early part of the Lincoln Riley era. Can the Trojans make a splash in year one in the Big Ten?Finally, Illinois coach Bret Bielema talks about his Iowa tattoo, because no Big Ten media days would be complete without the story.Want to watch the show instead?

The Aggies are one of the more fascinating teams in the SEC. They just made a coaching change, but because of Mike Elko’s recent experience in College Station, he doesn’t feel like a first-year head coach there. After inheriting a roster that still has some serious talent following Jimbo Fisher’s firing, can Texas A&M pull off some surprises in 2024?Want to watch the show instead?

PicKell break down what Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said as the Rebels prepare for perhaps the most-hyped season in program history. Ole Miss went 11-2 last season and then seriously upgraded the roster in the transfer portal. Will that be good enough to make the College Football Playoff and/or compete for the SEC title? New ESPN commentator Nick Saban seems to think so, but Kiffin thinks all this offseason praise is -- to use a Sabanism -- at poison.Andy and J.D. also discuss J.D.'s interview with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Is it finally time for J.D. to put the Gumbo Gunslinger nickname to rest, or does Nussmeier like it?Next, former LSU center and current Baton Rouge radio host T-Bob Hebert joins Andy to talk Tigers. How will LSU use linebacker Harold Perkins Jr.? And can the Tigers get better on defense after completely retooling the coaching staff on that side of the ball?Host: Andy StaplesGuest: JD PicKellProducers: River Bailey, Trey Yanity Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 265Can the EA Sports video game ratings predict real-life performances of 2024 college football teams?
Andy and On3 national writer Jesse Simonton use the EA Sports offense and defense unit rankings released Thursday as a jumping-off point to discuss the how the real-life versions of these units will fare.(0:00-2:26) Intro - EA Sports Offensive and Defensive Rakings(2:27-3:24) Jesse Simonton joins to break down the rankings(3:25-6:51) Colorado ranked too high?(6:52-8:23) USC Rankings(8:24-11:07) Ohio State(11:08-15:11) Georgia's Ranking(15:12-16:39) Liberty on the game(16:40-18:23) Miami(18:24-22:47) Alabama(22:48-28:34) Omission of Tennessee(28:35-32:24) Clemson(32:25-35:15) Ole Miss(35:16-38:09) Florida at #25 on defense(38:10-42:19) LSU(42:20-45:51) Sneaky Defense: Texas A&M(45:52-50:09) Penn State(50:10-53:20) SMU Ponies(53:21-55:10) UCF Knights(55:11-57:45) Big 12 Outlook(57:46-1:01:48) Wrapping up with Jesse(1:01:49-1:04:10) Who is YOUR Dynasty Team?(1:04:11-1:05:09) Conclusion, see you Monday!Do Georgia and Oregon really have the best offenses? EA Sports didn’t have Tennessee in its top 25 on offense or defense, but where should the Volunteers actually fall? (Andy and Jesse will remind game-makers that James Pearce Jr. is a person who exists.) Is Colorado really going to be as good on each side of the ball as the video game rankings suggest?Also, will LSU and USC improve enough on defense in real life to be among the top 25 units? Because if they are, then those programs might be looking at College Football Playoff berths.Want to watch the show instead?

The NCAA Division I Council is meeting Tuesday and Wednesday, and it is expected to pass a change that would lift the cap on on-field coaches. That cap currently is 10 assistants. If the change goes through, it could start a mini-coaching carousel as teams either promote analysts to on-field positions or hire extra coaches.Later, On3’s Steve Wiltfong joins Andy to discuss a busy week in the world of recruiting. USC recently lost two high-ranked defensive recruits for the class of 2025. One, edge rusher Isaiah Gibson, committed to Georgia Monday night? Could defensive lineman Justus Terry join Gibson soon?

Should the Big 12 sell its name? Or should it sell a piece of itself? Or both?

Of course, Jesse Simonton and Andy will have opinions about which teams might make the field. But what we know for sure is that some power-conference fanbase is going to be righteously furious when its team gets bumped for the highest ranked Group of 5 champ — or possibly a lower ranked power conference champ.Jesse also unveils his All-Transfer Portal team. He’s also been examining win totals in every conference, and he and Andy discuss which ones feel too high and which ones feel too low.Later, Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy joins to discuss some of the best transfer players that he’s studied. The Senior Bowl staff had to evaluate new Miami QB Cam Ward, new Ohio State QB Will Howard and new Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel in case they decided to leave for the NFL after last season. So Jim explains from a scout’s point of view what the new teams can expect from their new QBs.Want to watch the show instead?
