Felder Friday (on a Thursday) with Chip Patterson

In a week filled with upsets, some pleasant surprises have emerged out of the pack - and Rob isn't afraid to admit he was wrong on teams like Ole Miss and Ohio State. He and Megan also recap another busy Thursday around the country, put Iowa State's loss on Wednesday into (recent) historical perspective and then preview a hectic weekend (that's a theme here the rest of the way). They wrap the show with one last all-time program draft, and they make it a mega-draft with 20 UConn players (10 per team).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You read that correctly, a special edition of Felder Friday because we have a CFP Semifinal tonight and we gotta give the people what they need before toe meets leather. Michael Felder and Stephen Hartzell are joined by CBS Sports' Chip Patterson to help break down both of these semis coming up, plus who does Chip think is going to move on to the main event down in South Florida on January 19th? We get some insight from Chip, including his highest rated 'LOCK' of the semifinal round, for those of us who keep tabs on that sort of activity. Felder is back with another 'That's my Dog' after his Alabama pick crashed and burned last time out. We got three college football games left, people. Let's get ready to run through the finish line as we get ready for some CFP action on a weeknight!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Playoff talk continues as we head West to check in with our resident quarterback and silver fox Wayne Cook. How did Wayne feel about the Rose Bowl beat down (he had boots on the ground in Pasadena), plus who can give Indiana a game and what will it take for Oregon to hang around against a team that's already beaten them once this season (hint: perfection from the Ducks). Phil Steele joins the program to talk about how he sees the semifinals playing out, plus a look ahead to how the 2026 magazine is shaping up and how he would feel if his daughter brought Fernando Mendoza home (no, really). Don't sleep on the magic carpet ride that has been Ole Miss the last two weeks, can they do it again as underdogs against the U? The guys are ... skeptical. Hartzell slips in some Gavin Newsom jokes to rile up his base because we are so back, baby. Midweek edition of CSN 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.

Longtime listeners of the show will recall that there was some disagreement between Hartzell and the rest of the CSN crew on a certain Rose Bowl prediction that came true in a big way on January 1st. There was also a take from a few weeks ago by one Roddy Jones about Miami's ability to go on a run in the Playoff, if you'll recall. So today's show - while it is a full CFP Quarterfinal recap - is also a bit of a victory lap for our two hosts who are celebrating W's of a different kind. Hartzell and Roddy run through the four games that were, and look ahead to the two semifinals that are coming up later this week. No Tripp today because he's at home dealing with a stomach bug - but no worries we got Rodstradamus handing out some winners at the end of the show!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Women's basketball rang in calendar year 2026 by playing approximately 2,026 close/intriguing games on Thursday alone. Rob Joyce and Megan Gauer try to make sense of it all, from Kentucky's late winner in Baton Rouge to Georgia Tech's upset of Notre Dame and everything in between. Plus a preview of all the weekend's action (hint: lots of good Big Ten games) and then we end with our penultimate all-time program draft with Tennessee.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Last show of the year! We got the whole gang - Roddy, Wayne, Felder, and Hartzell - together to break down these CFP quarterfinal games (which start on Wednesday night, by the way). After about 15 minutes of coach talk dedicated to the latest Michigan Man (TM) and what to expect in Ann Arbor, the guys jump into the quartet of CFP games that await us. Does Roddy still think Miami is the most dangerous team in the playoff? Which quarterback in Miami/OSU are we more concerned about staying upright and why should Buckeyes fans be worried about the Cotton Bowl? Can Oregon's defense get it together against Texas Tech in the Orange? Or did they just look that bad on defense because they didn't respect JMU last week? Hartzell has a hot take on the Rose Bowl that everyone else vehemently disagrees with. Felder is riding with Alabama again after calling the upset last week against Oklahoma. And finally, does anyone have faith that Ole Miss can shock the Dawgs in New Orleans? There's a consensus on this game that probably won't surprise you. Is 5'8" almost 5'10" ... and does it really matter? Last CSN of 2025 coming in hot, let's make it count!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A look back at the first four CFP games (Bama erasing a 17-0 deficit in Norman, Miami's defense getting after A&M, Oregon and Ole Miss taking care of business) and also a peek at what's coming ahead in the next round.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the final Gauer Hour of 2025, Rob and Megan recap a fairly quiet week across the sport, but find reasons for optimism in Durham. Then they'll preview the final weekend before the sport shuts down for Christmas week - it feels like we'll learn a lot about Stanford, Oregon, and some Big 12 teams with gaudy records facing the top of the league. Then we close by handing out some Christmas gifts, and draft our all-time Stanford teams.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One week to go until Christmas, but CFP starts in less than 48 hours so let's round up the rest of the CSN gang and get some analysis. Wayne Cook joins the show from So Cal, Felder checks in from his home office, and Hartzell & Tripp are riding along for the good vibes. Phil Steele makes his weekly appearance to break down the four playoff games (plus a little FCS playoff action as well), and as usual Phil might be the only one on the show seeing things clearly. Felder is triggered by some comments Pete Golding had on Wednesday at the podium about some of his players living in the same country club that he lives in. Hartzell heard the same audio but translated it very differently, and you already know how Wayne feels about the modern student-athlete. Once the show gets back on track there is actual football talk. Felder picks a massive upset - which is something he's been doing with aplomb all season on this show. Can he stay hot in the CFP? Tripp gives his highest rated play of the weekend. And Hartzell doubles down on his Dukes. Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and let's get ready to 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.

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.
