[email protected](1:18:16-1:24:58) Conclusion: Ari and the Food Court Platter Dabo Swinney said on Tuesday that Clemson will not go with the crowd and cancel its spring game. The Tigers will play one, even if a lot of other schools are cancelling or modifying theirs. Swinney said a spring game won't increase tampering with his players (it'll happen anyway). So why are so many other coaches so worried? Andy has some thoughts. Earlier this week, Ari unveiled what he believes will be the biggest storylines of the 2025 season. But what will be the BIGGEST story of the year? Arch Manning taking over as QB1 at Texas? Will Oklahoma be back? Can Ohio State overcome its Michigan problem? Andy has a few suggestions as well… Watch us on YouTube! https://youtube.com/live/6bwP-S4zqa4 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Who came out on top? It sure seems like Clemson and Florida State (and North Carolina and Miami). The ACC has a set a sliding scale of buyout costs should a school want to leave the league, and the number gets very manageable just as the Big Ten’s current TV deal expires. Does this mean there is an expiration date on this version of the ACC? Lastly, Andy & Ari discuss Duke phenom Cooper Flagg and if he should consider staying another year in Durham.

[email protected] Georgia football coach Kirby Smart helped keep the school from getting fined by asking students to wait to storm the floor after the Bulldogs beat Florida in basketball. Ari covered the College Football Playoff meeting Tuesday, and he came away frustrated that no one will just say what they’re doing or what they’d prefer. The ACC and Big 12 commissioners said they needed to run the numbers to determine how they might vote on the seeding rules for the 2025 season. Andy ran the numbers Tuesday night, and the answer seems pretty clear as to what those two leagues in particular should do. As the NFL combine ramps up, news emerged that former Texas QB Quinn Ewers is prepared to throw for scouts. Ewers was dealing with an oblique injury for most of the season.

This is apparently standard procedure for Wisconsin across multiple sports, but the question is why? Why bid against yourself for a coach no one else is trying to hire when your money would be better spent buying better players?

That’s when the new CFP contract starts, and the Big Ten and SEC have more power than the other leagues combined. So what’s on their wish lists? Expansion of the tournament to 14 or 16? More automatic bids for each league? What about game sites? Will they keep later rounds in bowls or push to move them to campus? Andy and Ari break it all down.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, who has tried for years to stop court/field storming, isn’t ready to go that far, but he said the idea has support. Does anything need to be done about court and field storming? And if penalties do get more severe, is reversing the result a viable solution? Plus, Ari reveals his potential breakout teams for 2025. Florida, Illinois, Iowa State, Louisville and LSU fans will want to tune in. Finally, our Friday Grabass segment features Ari taking a very basic high school government test. Will he pass? Judging by the conversation earlier this week when Jim Tressel was named lieutenant governor of Ohio, he might not.

Next, Andy and Ari break down Ari’s clash with Brad from Macon on Wednesday’s edition of the Paul Finebaum Show. Brad thinks Ari is a Big Ten-loving homer who doesn’t respect the challenge of an SEC schedule. It was a battle for the ages. Later, Andy and Ari answer viewer questions… — What is the saucier take (Using Wendy’s sauce flavors): The Big Ten gets five teams in the playoff next year or the SEC only get three teams in again? — Any less confidence in the Florida over 6.5 wins with Billy Napier as playcaller? — Take one 2024 transfer player and put them back to their original team.

Tuesday’s conversation about what success looks like for LSU sparked a similar question about another program. Oregon has been on an upward trajectory since coach Dan Lanning arrived. The Ducks were the best team in the country in the regular season in 2024, but they got buzzsawed by Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. So what does Oregon need to do to keep the momentum? Is it as simple as winning in the College Football Playoff? What is the next big step? Later, Ari and Andy break down Ari’s list of potential 2025 breakout players. It includes Michigan QB Bryce Underwood, Texas RB C.J. Baxter and Ohio State QB Julian Sayin.

The Tigers have won nine, nine and eight regular-season games in Brian Kelly’s tenure. A return to nine would cash a ticket, but it probably wouldn’t satisfy most LSU fans. That group craves a return to the College Football Playoff, and Kelly came to Baton Rouge from Notre Dame with the expectation that he’d have the team competing for national titles. Is this the year he does that? And what happens if it isn’t? The Tigers were aggressive in the transfer portal, and they return one of the nation’s best quarterbacks in Garrett Nussmeier. This feels like a pivotal season. Later, Andy and Ari break down Andy’s list of the most impactful coordinator moves. A slow head-coaching market meant a more robust group of coordinator openings, and how some of these hires fare likely will determine how the head coach carousel looks in 10 months.

We joked when Philly picked a bunch of former Georgia defenders that GM Howie Roseman was trying to create North Athens, and he got results similar to the 2021 and 2022 Georgia national championship teams that he took those players from. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl champ. It’s a well deserved achievement for a quarterback who had a wild college career and has been doubted pretty much every step of the way. Later, Andy and Ari break down more 2025 preseason win totals. That 9.5 for Texas looks pretty juicy. The 9.5 for Tennessee probably requires a deeper dive. Also, 8.5 for Indiana is a nod of respect to Curt Cignetti. Next, Andy and Ari break down Rob Ryan’s spectacular debut press conference as USC’s linebackers coach.

Should Colorado be worried? If Coach Prime got an NFL job, would it even be possible for him to wind up with the team that lands his son Shedeur? Or is this all a plot to drive YouTube numbers (for shows like ours; Coach Prime’s numbers are great as-is) and give the morning debate shows something to talk about? Miami coach Mario Cristobal finally explained the second half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Monday. Had he said in his postgame press conference what he said Monday, it probably would have kept Cam Ward’s name from getting dragged for two weeks by people who don’t understand how football works. Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are returning to Penn State, which is going to run for a lot of yards next season.
