Hour 1 - SECond to the Big Ten

Colin's top takes of the week. He's joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL & college football playoff. They start with the Eagles holding off a late rally by the Bills to win in Buffalo and agree the Bills are entirely too Josh Allen dependent when he’s clearly not 100%, and discuss the hot/cold nature of the Eagles offense. They both agree the Bills look like a one and done team in the playoffs (3:00). They move to the Steelers loss to the Browns putting their playoff hopes in jeopardy and point to DK Metcalf’s suspension making their offense completely inept and discuss whether Mike Tomlin’s tenure in Pittsburgh has run its course (15:45). They move to the College Football Playoff and start with Indiana’s blowout of Alabama.  Colin explains why Curt Cignetti’s coaching has produced a Hoosier team that’s great in every facet of the game (29:00). They also break down what makes Fernando Mendoza such a great quarterback (35:00). Finally, they recap Miami’s thumping of Ohio State and Colin predicts the Hurricanes will meet Indiana in the championship game. They credit Mario Cristobal’s recruiting prowess for building a physically imposing roster full of NFL talent (41:45). (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
