CFP Preview Part 1 with Roddy Jones

We are nine days out from Christmas ... but we're breaking down ball today, kids. Hartzell got his hot yoga flow in early, Lock Dizzy is in the house, and there's a real expert - Roddy Jones - with us to break down these first round games. There's four CFP games this weekend, we hit on all of them - with some visual aids for you YouTubers thanks to Roddy breaking down film. Can Oklahoma do the thing again against Alabama on Friday night (the thing is get outgained and outplayed but force turnovers and short fields and win ugly). Who handles business in the coin-flip game between Miami and Texas A&M? Roddy calls for an upset in College Station but agrees it could go either way. And finally, do either of the G5 participants have a chance on the road Saturday? Experts will tell you no, but Hartzell is no expert. He lays out his path for a JMU upset in Eugene - knowing full well just how unlikely it is - but makes a reasonable case for the anatomy of what an upset would look like. Tulane has no chance in hell of doing anything against Ole Miss and the 45-10 regular season meeting back in September should be reason enough. Should Hartzell be drug tested for his takes? What about Lock Dizzle who can't help himself with the bad FSU takes? We're back with part two on Thursday with Wayne & Felder ... enjoy!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Iowa State stole the show on an otherwise quiet week with a Cy-Hawk rivalry win over Iowa - how high is the Cyclones' ceiling? Rob Joyce and Megan Gauer discuss that, other happenings from the week (can someone figure out K-State?), and preview a week to come that is light in quantity, but has some high quality games, plus a couple of sleepers (watch out Notre Dame and Duke). Then they end by picking some all-time South Carolina teams - you tell us whose is better?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The bracket is set. Notre Dame is at home working on their golf game, but we got first-round games coming up in 10 days so it's time to assemble the whole gang and talk ball. The CSN dream team is here - Roddy Jones, Wayne Cook, Michael Felder, with Hartzell playing traffic cop and steering the ship. What was it like on the ESPN set on Sunday when the dominos started to fall? Roddy takes us behind the curtain on how all the drama unfolded in real time. What do the guys think about the Miami & Alabama inclusion, while the golden-domers get left out? Who are the most dangerous teams in the field? Who is underrated? Who is overrated? All of that PLUS some bigtime discussion on the coaching moves that have gone down over the last two weeks, like - for example - is the Matt Campbell thing really going to work out? Wayne is about to meet Bob Chesney at the introductory press conference at UCLA, which means the moratorium has been lifted - at least for now. CSN mega-show coming at you!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're fighting the elements. Megan is in Europe, Rob's kid is home because it rained in North Carolina overnight and school is closed. No matter, they recap the ACC/SEC Challenge, talk about the NET and what tweaks (if any) need to be made to it, run through some surprises (good and bad) so far this season, and preview a light week to come. Then they wrap with their latest all-time team draft by selecting Notre Dame players.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Last real weekend of college football, at least when it comes to meaningful games that are going to affect you-know-what coming down the line here in a matter of weeks. It's Championship weekend, we got NINE conference championship games going down on Friday and Saturday and then we get to hand out some hardware and make snow angels in the confetti. Felder is breaking down his top storylines of the weekend with the Felder Five (TM), Tripp is out here trying to re-organize intercollegiate athletics because, well, we're not really sure, and Hartzell is trying to stop the bleeding in the picks segment and find a winning weekend. It all comes down to this, the reason why you go through two-a-days in the summer, the picks champion will be crowned after the conclusion of this weekend's games.

There are nine FBS football games on the docket this week as conference championship games crank up on Friday and Saturday, so we might as well bring on our man Phil Steele (who's already in 2026 magazine mode. Yes, really) to run though his leans and selections for each of these games. The CFP committee rolled out their penultimate set of rankings on Tuesday night, so how about Hartzell & Wayne react to them live so you can wrap your head around all of these scenarios on Wednesday? The teams ranked 9-12 are going to be sweating it out on Sunday if BYU pulls the upset against Texas Tech. Is Alabama safe no matter what happens against Georgia? And how can the 10-2 Irish get in over the same 10-2 team that beat them head-to-head for (potentially) the final at-large spot? Lots to digest, and still one more weekend of games to get though before the 12-team CFP is set.

Absolutely jam-packed show on deck for you today, led by the incomparable Roddy Jones who wears many hats but has his ACC cap on for todays discussion on - in addition to many other things - how we got to Duke in the ACCCG & what to do about the Canes in the CFP. You want to talk about all the coach movement? We got you covered. Curious how Roddy feels about the Committee's performance through the first few weeks of polling? We got that too. Rivalry week reaction and a lookahead to the Championship games on deck Friday & Saturday? Obviously. Lots to get to in a loaded nearly 2-hour CSN that spans the college football landscape. And yes, we even let Tripp get a few words in. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's the day after Thanksgiving and the fellas are full - of food, beverages, and football takes. After a turkey day recap, the guys get down to the rivalry week analysis, the real reason you're all here. Felder Five covers Egg Bowl, Clean-old-Fashioned Hate, what to do with Miami/Pitt, plus The Game and A&M at Texas. Absolutely loaded card from our boy Felder who's not shying away from the big games. Hartzell and Phil Steele go one-on-one with all of the games on the top-25 for a solid 30 minutes, then we're back with piiiicks and 'That's My Dog', including a couple of bonus plays from Felder who's in a good mood today. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday, be safe traveling this weekend and enjoy these games!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So much going on with today's show, and we mean that in a good way. For starters, we got Roddy AND Wayne to walk us through this massive rivalry week of games and look back on the weekend that was. Lock Dizzle is back with week 13 takeaways, as well as a look at the nine P4 jobs that are currently open thanks to Cal parting ways with Justin Wilcox on Sunday. Roddy & Wayne have fond memories about what this week means to them as former players and alums (who know all about what it means to beat their arch rival at the end of the season), and they both talk about it in great detail. Plus some must-hear audio from both of those guys' playing days makes a surprise appearance on the program! Last but not least we got some picks from Rodstra - a lot of picks, actually - to wrap up the show. Have a great Thanksgiving holiday and thank you so much for listening to us when you're on the road this week. Safe travels and know that we are thankful and grateful for your listenership. Enjoy the week, everybody!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
