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?

Ep 257Could the Big 12 SELL its name? | More EA Sports College Football 25 Intel
Should the Big 12 sell its name? Or should it sell a piece of itself? Or both? Those are the questions Andy and On3’s Pete Nakos discuss after news that the league is considering selling its naming rights to Allstate and that the league is considering selling a piece of itself to a foreign private equity firm in exchange for a cash infusion.Pete also discusses the congressional bill that will attempt to declare college athletes aren’t employees. The bill passed through a House committee on Thursday and will reach the floor during this session. Does it have any chance of passing? Or will it languish like all the other bills drafted on this subject? Next, Andy digs into the EA Sports gameplay deep dive video to share more information from his visit to EA Sports last month to play the new college football video game. The deep dive revealed a little more of what game designers discussed in the abstract during Andy’s trip.Subscribe to On3! ⬇️ youtube.com/on3sports/?sub_confirmati...Welcome to On3 | The best of college football and recruiting https://www.on3.com/Follow Andy Staples on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Andy_StaplesFollow Andy Staples on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andy_staples Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/on3sportsFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/on3/Like/Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/On3Sports/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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?

Ep 234Does North Carolina want out of the ACC too? | Is Florida State reloaded to win the ACC again?
Andy is on the scene at the ACC meetings in Amelia Island, Fla., and the scene is… weird.(0:00-3:05) Intro - Live from ACC Spring Meetings!(3:06-9:41) Kickoff Times Announced(9:42-23:12) North Carolina, Board of Trustees Update(23:13-48:40) Florida State Update with Ira Schoffel(48:41-53:44) NFL vs CFP Games on TV(53:45-1:02:33) NCAA president speaks on House Settlement(1:02:34-1:03:09) ConclusionTwo ACC schools (Florida State and Clemson) are suing the conference, and the conference is suing those schools back. And everyone is meeting ahead of a potentially exciting 2024 football season because no one can do anything about the court cases right now.Meanwhile, the board of trustees at North Carolina made a very public statement that the Tar Heels need to consider membership in another conference. Unlike at Clemson and Florida State, where the president and athletic director were very much on board with the anti-ACC sentiment, the trustees spent part of their meeting Monday criticizing athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who was headed to the meeting in Florida when they met. Cunningham, at least publicly, has been supportive of the ACC.Also, NCAA president Charlie Baker met with ACC ADs and coaches Monday to brief them on some of the big changes heading their way. The NCAA is negotiating a settlement in a class action lawsuit (House v. NCAA) that likely will change the business model for college sports. And Baker is talking like a person who wants that multi-billion dollar settlement done so the schools can start preparing for the future.Later, Andy and Ira Schoffel of On3’s Warchant discuss Florida State’s position in the ACC right now as the Seminoles sue the league in Florida and the league sues the Seminoles in North Carolina. Plus, Andy and Ira discuss what Florida State will look like on the football field this year after losing some very important players to the NFL. Want to watch the show instead?

Ep 232Can Hugh Freeze calling plays make Auburn a contender RIGHT NOW? | Top QB recruit to visit Indiana?
Andy and Phillip Dukes are talking Auburn on a glorious spring Friday. Hugh Freeze said this week that he decided to roll with the QBs the Tigers had — including incumbent starter Payton Thorne and incoming freshman Walker White — rather than spending big on a QB in the transfer portal. Was that the correct choice, and how much will Freeze’s decision to call plays again change the course of the offense? Also, how good is freshman receiver Cam Coleman?(0:00-0:59) Intro(1:00-2:09) Phillip Dukes Joins(2:10-21:32) Auburn's Outlook(21:33-26:42) Notable Offenses(26:43-38:59) Juju Lewis Visiting Indiana(39:00-47:28) Dukes shows off his shoe collection(47:29-1:01:57) Austin Rivers comments(1:01:58-1:03:51) Wrapping Up, ConclusionJuJu Lewis, a top class of 2025 quarterback recruit from Dukes' neck of the woods is committed to USC and being pursued by Auburn, but he has scheduled a visit to Indiana. How did that happen, and what does it say about how serious new Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti is about turning around that program?The guys also discuss which teams improved their rosters the most now that the spring transfer portal window has closed. Miami kept adding players, but will those additions help the Hurricanes win more come fall?Andy and Dukes also discuss former NBA guard Austin Rivers’ comment that there were about 30 NBA players who could play in the NFL.

Ep 227Oklahoma beats Texas for a HUGE transfer portal commit | Can Texas A&M surprise in the fall?
The spring transfer portal window is closed, but there’s still drama. Oklahoma landed one of the most sought-after players in the spring window on Thursday when TCU transfer Damonic Williams committed. Williams started every game in his two seasons at TCU and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 player in 2023. Few defensive linemen with this resume had entered the portal this spring, and a lot of schools wanted Williams. It came down to Oklahoma and Texas.(0:00-9:09) Intro - Transfer Portal News(9:10-23:13) Pete Nakos Joins to Break down Transfer Portal(23:14-29:57) NCAA Antitrust Settlement Case, Future of CFB(29:58-32:56) Texas A&M Introduction(32:57-1:05:12) Billy Liucci from Tex Ags joins(1:05:13-1:06:47) Conclusion - Have a great weekend!On3’s Pete Nakos breaks down that decision as well as the ongoing recruitment of Michigan State transfer defensive lineman Simeon Barrow, who told Pete on Thursday that he might decide Friday from a group that includes LSU, Missouri and Miami.Plus, Oklahoma backup QB General Booty is the highest ranking player to ever enter the transfer portal.Next, Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com joins the show to talk about a quiet spring in College Station as new coach Mike Elko works to shape a roster that probably isn’t as loaded as we’d think given Texas A&M’s recruiting rankings of the past few years.In fact, the situation Elko finds himself in now is eerily reminiscent of the one Steve Sarkisian took over at Texas in 2021.But with QB Conner Weigman working his way back toward 100 percent, transfer Nic Scourton coming off the edge and an SEC schedule that isn’t as tough as the one some other teams got, the Aggies might be a surprise come fall.Want to watch the show instead?

Talia is On3’s newest hire, and she’ll be leading the HER vertical. While a student reporter at Indiana University, Talia realized there wasn’t a transfer portal news-breaker covering women’s basketball, so she worked to make herself one. Now she’s the best in the game, and she’s bringing her talents to On3.Andy and Talia discuss how the women’s college game can capitalize on the moment it’s having currently, and Talia identifies the stars who will try to fill the void now that Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and company are off to the WNBA.Now, it’s time for your questions. Once again, Coach Prime and his team dominate the conversation.Will Shedeur Sanders' tweet clapping back at a former Colorado player hurt his chances to win awards? Would it affect his draft stock?How much longer should we reasonably expect Deion to be at Colorado?Given the discussion of the way Sanders handled cutting players and the back-and-forth between former and current Colorado players, what should be considered acceptable when managing a roster?Andy often talks about college football jobs where the job description is simply “Win the national title.” How many of those jobs are there?

Ep 224Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola looks ready to SHINE | Is this the deepest Notre Dame team in years?
The hype train for Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola is leaving the station, and Andy climbs aboard with Sean Callahan of On3’s Husker Online. Raiola’s spring game performance got the Nebraska fanbase pumped for the future. So what happens next? How does coach Matt Rhule handle the quarterback situation going into preseason camp? And who will help Raiola on offense when fall arrives?(0:00-4:29) Intro(4:30-13:49) Leaders Discussing Settlement of Antitrust Case(13:50-35:14) Sean Callahan from Husker Online Joins(35:15-40:28) Spring Transfer Portal(40:29-1:03:53) Tyler Horka from Blue and Gold joins(1:03:54-1:06:50) Conclusion - Draft Ultimate Teams tomorrowBefore that, Andy breaks down the news that the NCAA and major conferences have engaged in settlement talks in the House v. NCAA case. Why does this matter? Because any settlement likely involves the schools promising revenue sharing with the athletes going forward. That would change how the players are compensated, and it likely would lead to collective bargaining.Speaking of which, there was news on that front Monday out of Trent Dilfer’s UAB program.Also, a few more players jumped in the transfer portal ahead of its closing on Tuesday. Alabama freshman safety Peyton Woodyard entered on Monday night. Oregon is the favorite to land him. Nebraska edge rusher Chief Borders also has entered the portal. So has former Washington QB Sam Huard, who spent 2023 at Cal Poly. Offensive lineman Andrew Dennis, the highest ranked signee in Illinois’ 2024 class, also entered the portal.Next, Tyler Horka of On3’s Blue and Gold joins to discuss Notre Dame coming out of spring practice. The Fighting Irish got a good look at their quarterback room with presumed starter Riley Leonard recovering from ankle surgery, and the depth — and lack of QBs jumping in the portal — should inspire confidence. So should the performance of the receivers in the spring game. Notre Dame didn’t have anywhere near its full group, but the way the available players performed suggests that the passing game should be much more dynamic than it was last season.Want to watch the show instead?

Ep 219How 2024 NFL first-round draft picks stacked up as college football recruits
Yes, Caleb Williams was always that good. But he wasn’t the top-ranked quarterback in the recruiting class of 2021. (That guy is still in college.) Meanwhile, J.J. McCarthy was as polarizing a college recruit as he is a potential NFL draft pick.(0:00-3:50) Introduction - NFL Draft(3:51-7:52) Charles Power and Cody Bellaire Join, Covid's Impact(7:53-13:29) Caleb Williams, USC(13:30-17:35) Drake Maye, UNC(17:36-19:28) Quinn Ewers Discussion(19:29-24:36) JJ McCarthy, Michigan(24:37-26:49) Jayden Daniels, LSU(26:50-29:25) Overall QB's(29:26-31:31) Jayden Daniels and Innovation in Technology(31:32-34:51) Favorite Prospect - Brock Bowers, Georgia(34:52-36:05) Jonathon Brooks, Texas(36:06-40:36) Can't Miss Recruits: Byron Murphy, Texas(40:37-43:35) Offensive Line Class: Joe Alt, Notre Dame(43:36-46:23) Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma(46:24-49:06) Gary Patterson at TCU(49:07-53:22) Guys Not in the Draft (53:23-56:59) Significance of Age(57:00-1:01:00) Guys Not in the Draft, Re-Visited(1:01:01-1:02:05) ConclusionOn3 director of ranking Charles Power and national scout Cody Bellaire join Andy to share stories about the players who will be drafted beginning this Thursday when they were high schoolers trying to choose where they would play their college ball.Cody, who used to work in the personnel department at LSU, offers a plausible alternate history where Williams winds up in Baton Rouge playing for Ed Orgeron. Charles discusses how low-key Jayden Daniels' recruitment to Arizona State was. Charles also explains how the Joe Alt who came out of high school in Minnesota was not nearly as easy to project as the version of Alt who is leaving Notre Dame and heading to anchor some NFL team’s offensive line for the next 10 years. Plus, the guys pay tribute to the Patron Saint of Projection — former TCU coach Gary Patterson.Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube and join us LIVE, M-F, at 8 am et!

Sure, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian made it abundantly clear that Quinn Ewers is the Texas starter and that he just really wanted to give Manning a chance to play significant snaps in the spring game. But that’s not how the Internet works, Sark.Meanwhile, Michigan wrapped spring practice, and it appears the Wolverines’ QB competition will come down to Alex Orji and Davis Warren — unless Michigan coaches decide to dip into the transfer portal for a QB. So far, no QB that would appear worthy of Michigan’s starting job has entered the portal.That brings us to a transfer portal update from On3 national writer Pete Nakos. The weekend brought a lot of official visits, a few commitments and a few new entries.Next, Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus joins to break down Thursday’s NFL Draft. Trevor is a massive college football fan who also happens to be a draft analyst, and he’ll help explain some of the more interesting swings in draft conventional wisdom. For instance, former Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy is now being mocked as a likely top-10 pick. How did he climb draft boards so fast?Want to watch the show instead?

Where might he wind up? On3’s Pete Nakos reported he possibly could be headed to an SEC school.Next, LSU receivers coach/co-offensive coordinator Cortez Hankton Jr. joins the show. Hankton will be in the green room at the draft next week with former Tigers receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., who are expected to be picked in the first round. Hankton, who came to LSU from Georgia and who could have as many as six former players drafted next week, discusses how those two developed into first-rounders.Later, On3 national scout Cody Bellaire explains how college personnel departments are handling the transfer portal window. Bellaire, who worked in the personnel departments at LSU, Texas A&M and Texas Tech, breaks down exactly how the process works from a player deciding to enter the portal to choosing a new school.Want to watch the show instead?
