Join Aaron and Will for a breakdown of all the Week 15 action. This weeks most impressive performance goes to the UNC running game in their demolition of Miami (much to Aarons dismay).   We had a textbook Chaos game with LSU shocking Florida in the Swamp   Those that had an implication include USC successfully navigating the tightrope once more with a come from behind victory against UCLA & Coastal Carolina, who needed a late TD to overcome Troy and remain undefeated   Studying the playbook were Alabama who crush Arkansas & Northwestern whose elite D led them to victory over Illinois   The rest of the big matchups saw: Georgia look good with JT Daniels under centre putting on 35 unanswered over a Missouri team that had been looking good in recent weeks Iowa continue to run hot easily accounting for a reeling Wisconsin team BYU tighten up and run away with victory over San Diego St Utah brave the snow and deal Colorado their first loss on the season Oklahoma State run rampart over a depleted Baylor outfit

Plenty of news about the college world as we enter week 14 of Season 2020. With things starting to heat up we now have a much clearer picture of how we can expect the playoff race to take shape. Join Aaron and Will for a breakdown of all the Power 5 action, a check in on the Championship Draft, some outrages Bold Predictions and Will is once again changing his tactics On the Punt in search of revenue.

Week 13 was rivalry week and whilst there were a couple of big upsets most went according to plan. The most impressive performance this week goes to Washington mustering a big second half comeback to overcome Utah. The Chaos games brought the entertainment with Oregon State getting the win in their big rivalry matchup with Oregon, Northwestern slipping up to an increasingly difficult to predict Michigan State squad and a good old fashioned wild west shootout in Stillwater as OK State top Texas Tech. Games with Conference/National Championship implications included Iowa State getting up late on Texas to continue to control their destiny in the big 12, Texas A&M blanketing LSU to shore up their status as the first one out and Notre Dame continuing to looking incredibly impressive with a solid showing in a tough road spot at North Carolina. All in all it was another great week of action so be sure to join Aaron and Will to get up to speed as we turn the bend for the final straight on season 2020.

Week 13 brings with it rivalry week, and whilst we have had some casualties to the COVID, we still get some spiteful matchups in the Iron Bowl, Egg Bowl and Civil War. Join along for an impromptu quiz, a comprehensive rundown of all the matches the matter, updates to the Championship Draft and could this be the week it all comes together On the Punt... Probably not, but it's always good for a laugh.

Bit of a change of formula for the recap show as the boys break their coverage down into four segments.  Most Impressive Performance this week goes to Indiana in a loss to Ohio State & Northwestern blanketing Wisconsin. The Chaos games with Rutgers and Michigan in triple OT & Illinois piling it on against Nebraska. Because of the Implication (to the Conference or National Championship) BYU, CCU & Cinn all win. Oregon get the job done over UCLA & USC put in their best effort, yet dispatching a rusty Utah Studied the playbook - Teams that executed as expected. Alabama beat down on Kentucky, Iowa State stomped KSU, Oklahoma continued its dominance burying their in state rival & Florida do what they need to in Nashville cruising past Vandy.  

With the boys entering lockdown the season gets into week 12 and things are firing up. The PAC12 is starting to get into the thick of things and Will sees concerns on the horizon knowing what we saw this year in the other conferences. The Big 12 have a couple of big match ups with conference championship implications, seeing KState and ISU going head to head and Bedlam going on in Oklahoma. The Group of Five also comes to the party with three undefeateds putting it on the line with Coastal Carolina and App State, Cinncinati and UCF & Liberty and NC State. Great weekend to watch football, not much else we can do.

In what was supposed to be a turbulent weekend with many of the ranked teams on the road, we actually saw quite the opposite. It all started with 15 games cancelled or postponed with the COVID, with the SEC hit hardest. We saw, Miami escape and continue to be un-Miami like, Notre Dame impress as Ian Book begins to find his groove & Penn State move to 0-4 for the first time since 2001. Meanwhile Indiana is able to book an undefeated matchup in Columbus on the back of another impressive showing and Kyle Trask continues his domination for the Gators.

Without a ranked match on the cards we are missing that headliner action, but Week 11 is still set to bring the intrigue.  Many of the teams vying for a place in their conference championships are having to head on the road this week, so what looks on paper to be a little light, may end up having massive consequences for the outcome of this year. Join along with Aaron and Will who, whilst battling a range of issues, mange to cover off on all the games that matter, get back into the Championship Draft and look to make it three positive weeks in a row On the Punt.

Good week to be ranked with no team losing to an unranked opponent.On Friday night we saw BYU show they are legit by absolutely smashing Boise St with Zach Wilson continuing to go off meanwhile, the U remains relevant in the ACC, having to come from behind to get the job done against NC State.Moving into Saturday Notre Dame knock over Clemson in double OT in what was an incredibly entertaining match.Florida adds more evidence to the case that offense is more important than defence with an impressive 44-28 victory over UGA. The PAC12 was back, and even though we lost several matchups due to the COVID, we did get started and somehow USC managed to steal a victory over ASU after being down 2 scores late in the last.Finally, Michigan, Penn State and Tennessee are not in a good place. Michigan drop to 1-2, Penn St 0-3 (for the first time since 2001) and Tennessee have been outscored a combined 150-58 in the last 14 quarters since that impressive first half against Georgia
