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. Finally, we revisit Andy’s 2024 season predictions from July to see just how badly he missed. Ari wasn’t working at On3 yet, so he’ll be spared this time.

Herbstreit discussed the “lunatic fringe” of the Ohio State fanbase and its desire to fire coach Ryan Day. He made it sound as if a fairly small minority of fans held that sentiment. Ari doesn’t think that’s true, and it got Andy thinking about all the examples of the times the people who bring us the games on TV didn’t quite understand the feelings of the common fan. Plus, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! We’re going to have bowl games every day, and we’ll have a full weekend of college football on Friday and Saturday. NIL deals seem to have swung bowl opt-outs back in the other direction with seemingly more stars playing this year. So which games seem the most exciting?
