Podcast appearances and mentions of andy staples

The second College Football Playoff ranking releases tonight. How dramatic will a shift in the rankings be? There is sure to be some near the bottom of the Top 10 after #8 Texas Tech's dominant win over #7 BYU, but how about the top? After #3 Texas A&M's convincing win at #22 Missouri and #2 Indiana's struggle at Penn State, will the committee jump the Aggies over the Hoosiers? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss how they think the rankings will play out going forward. Plus, what impact could #16 Vanderbilt have on the rankings this season? What has to fall their way in order to make it into this year's CFP, and how can they make sure they can keep their coach after such success this season?Then, the guys take a look at a new tactic for the coaching carousel: Don't get involved. This is the tactic Wisconsin is taking as they announced that head coach Luke Fickell will remain at the helm next season. The immediate result was an upset of #23 Washington. The guys discuss this decision for Wisconsin and their vow to put more funds into the football program. Will this be enough to boost the future of the team and turn the program towards a winning path? What took them so long to get to this point? The guys also talk about why some schools were able to adapt quickly and other schools struggled to respond to NIL. Hint: Some were prepared, some weren't prepared and some were already well versed in the art of paying players. Later, the drama in the Big Ten continues to heat up amongst discussions about private equity. Board members of various schools are speaking out about their lack of involvement with this decision and their opposition to it being voted through. The American Council of Trustees & Alumni, ACTA, is also now involved. A vote seems to still be upcoming, with the current expectation being that only Michigan and USC's presidents are against the decision. How will this all play out?All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer(2:51) - CFP ranking expectations: Will #3 Texas A&M jump #2 Indiana?(12:18) - What are #16 Vanderbilt's CFP chances?(25:36) - How Wisconsin and other schools can increase their NIL funding(50:48) - Big Ten private equity drama continues to get worse Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Week 11 has wrapped up and it provided some thrilling finishes for a couple of Top 10 teams. Penn State brought #2 Indiana down to the wire. The undefeated Hoosiers may have suffered their first loss if not for a heroic final drive from Fernando Mendoza. The drive culminated in an unbelievable catch by Omar Cooper Jr., who barely kept his foot in, to score the eventual game winning touchdown with 36 seconds left. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss if such a close game to a struggling Penn State team should create any room for concern with this Indiana team. Then they dive into the other matchup that came down to the final seconds. This one was a Top 20 matchup in the pouring rain between #9 Oregon and #20 Iowa. The home-team Hawkeyes took the lead late. That set the stage for an impressive final drive by Dante Moore and Oregon to kick a game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining. The guys discuss how they feel about Oregon coming off of this win. They also discuss #8 Texas Tech's dominant win over #7 BYU. How do they feel about the Red Raiders going forward? Plus, is there a legitimate chance the ACC could end up with no teams in the College Football Playoff?Later, Ross reports big news coming out of the Big Ten as their discussion about private equity appears to be nearing a decision. Michigan and USC remain steadfast in their opposition to any deal, but a vote is scheduled for November 21st. If Michigan or USC decide not to sign, the rest of the schools in the Big Ten will move along on the deal without them. What could this mean for the future of not only Michigan, but the entirety of the college football landscape? The guys discuss how this could all potentially play out.Then, they look to Week 12. The final few weeks of the regular season are inching closer, which means each game begins to add a little more pressure. The guys look at games that have huge impacts on both conference and playoff races. #11 Texas visits #5 Georgia, #12 Oklahoma plays #4 Alabama and #10 Notre Dame faces off with #24 Pittsburgh. How could we see the playoff race change after Week 12?The guys discuss all of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.(1:13) - #2 Indiana survives at Penn State(8:24) - Could the ACC miss the playoff?(15:41) - #9 Oregon survives in Iowa(21:50) - Wisconsin upsets #23 Washington(25:26) - #8 Texas Tech dominates #7 BYU(32:16) - Big Ten moving forward with private equity?(52:47) - Week 12 games with Playoff implications  Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

On3's Andy Staples joins Heartland College Sports' Pete Mundo to talk all things college football — from the Big 12 title race and Playoff picture to the latest twists in the coaching carousel.They cover which Big 12 teams still have a path to the playoff, what coaching jobs could shake up the sport, and how the Big 12 stacks up nationally in November.

Week 11 is here and the marquee matchups of the weekend may not be what you expected when the season started. #9 Oregon heads to Iowa City to face #20 Iowa. When Iowa is at home they tend to make life very difficult for the opposing team. The Ducks have seen some struggles since their loss to #2 Indiana and Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey aren't so sure they can come away from Iowa with a win. Iowa's struggles in the past have been on the offensive side, but this year the Hawkeyes have a much improved offensive attack. Are the Ducks on upset alert, or will this be another notch in their belt as they look to make another CFP appearance. Then, we get an update from Ross' Congressional Minute as he shares the most recent news about the SAFE and Score Acts and explains where this process is trending. Could a resolution be coming sooner than expected? Cody Campbell is a huge player in these discussions. He is also a huge player in the funding of Texas Tech's NIL. #8 Texas Tech hosts #7 BYU on Saturday with the winner taking the lead in the race to the Big 12 Championship Game. Texas Tech has already stumbled once and may not be able to afford another misstep. BYU has looked like the dominant force in the Big 12 this season, but this will be their toughest test yet. Add this pressure on top of the pressure to succeed for the Red Raiders after a highly publicized offseason of NIL spending. The guys discuss this matchup and its impact. Plus, they also chat about the continued messy situation in Baton Rouge with LSU kind of naming a new AD.Later, the guys share their picks for I've Got A Feeling.

It is that time of year again! The time when attention shifts away from the AP Poll and moves over to the College Football Playoff rankings. Tuesday, the College Football Playoff committee released the initial rankings for 2025. Ohio State remained at the top followed by Indiana, Texas A&M and Alabama to round out the top four. One of the most notable rankings was that of two teams who played earlier in the year. Miami, who has been struggling as of recently, came in at 18. That fell well behind a team they beat in Notre Dame who is sitting at 10. Also, the Big 12 appears to be in position to get two teams into the playoff, while the ACC looks like it will be a one-team league. Andy Staples, Steven Godfrey and Ross Dellenger discuss all of the drama and voice their thoughts on all of the attention surrounding this first rendition of the rankings. Plus, the guys take a look at what the bracket would look like if the playoff started today!Later, the guys discuss the top team in the country. The Ohio State Buckeyes. Such a dominant season has not created much drama to talk about for this team, however Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at just how dominant they have been. Is this success due to a lackluster schedule, or is this team on a path to another national title? On the flip side, could the lack of competition hinder Ohio State in the long run as they go on to face far more difficult competition in the College Football Playoff? And, what about their hated rivals, the Michigan Wolverines? Is this the year Ohio State can snap the four-game losing streak, or will Michigan prevail once again?Then, the guys take a look at a team who had similar expectations as Ohio State in the preseason, but their season has gone far differently. The Clemson Tigers. Dabo Swinney's team has struggled tremendously this season and it appears that Swinney's method of coaching may not be holding up in the new era of college football. Is this the beginning of the end for Swinney at Clemson? Should Dabo move on from coaching or just move on from Clemson? Are there similarities between his situation and Nick Saban's before Saban retired?All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.(0:49) - Reactions to the initial CFP rankings for 2025(24:59) - Is Ohio State too dominant?(32:18) - Will Ohio State beat Michigan this season?(42:47) - Julian Sayin's Heisman campaign(48:47) - Is Dabo Swinney ready to move on from Clemson?  Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

For the second week in a row a marquee head coaching job has opened up. Florida fired Billy Napier on Sunday after managing just a 22-23 record in four seasons. This happened after the full show was recorded, so you will only hear Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey breaking down the news and looking at who Florida will look to next.

Is Miami still the favorite in the ACC? How does Notre Dame's success affect Miami's CFP chances? The guys also discuss what is happening in Baton Rouge. Is Brian Kelly on his way out after #10 LSU's loss to #17 Vanderbilt this weekend? Later, they discuss what other coaches may be out of a job soon.

Week 8 is here, and with just over half of the season gone, there is already a matchup with playoff implications on the line. #13 Notre Dame plays host to #20 USC for another chapter of this storied rivalry. With Notre Dame already having two losses, a third loss would all but eliminate them from playoff contention. USC has a tough stretch of Big Ten games to end the season, so a loss to Notre Dame would make their playoff chances even less-likely. Ross Dellenger returns to join Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey to discuss this matchup and who they think will come out victorious.Later, there are multiple Top 25 matchups in the SEC on Saturday. You will get to watch them all back-to-back-to-back starting at noon eastern with #10 LSU visiting #17 Vanderbilt. #5 Ole Miss at #9 Georgia is the game that follows, and the night finishes up with #11 Tennessee visiting #6 Alabama. Can Ole Miss take down Georgia again? Can Diego Pavia keep Vandy on a playoff track? Is Alabama poised to win the SEC? The guys discuss all of these topics and more as they preview each matchup.Finally, the guys make their picks in I've Got A Feeling. Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Hawai'i are the picks for this week.

Happy Valley is not so happy as of late. Preseason expectations of a deep CFP seem to be of a distant past after the firing of James Franklin on Sunday. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey dive into how Penn State fell so fast and what led to the firing of a head coach whose team was ranked #3 just three weeks ago. Then the guys look at who Penn State should look to hire to be their new head coach. Should they try to poach big names like Alabama's Kalen DeBoer or Nebraska's Matt Rhule, or should they look at one of the hot new names like Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein or Syracuse head coach Fran Brown? The guys discuss what options are on the table.Later, there are more hurdles to now jump over for the Big Ten's attempt to get a private equity deal done. In Ross Dellenger's latest article, he explains why USC is now against signing a private equity deal. Ross is out today, but Andy and Godfrey break down what all is going on and if the Big Ten will, or even should, ever get a private equity deal done. Finally, the guys discuss a few notable topics from what we've been seeing on the field. First, they dive into the massive success, thus far, of Texas Tech. After an expensive offseason, it seems that all of the NIL investment is paying off. The Red Raiders are ranked seventh in the country and are currently undefeated going into Week 8. Andy and Godfrey discuss if they will face any hurdles in the Big 12, or if Texas Tech is going to run away with the conference. Then, they keep up the CFP talk but shift to a conference that will be fighting for a bid. The American Conference has been impressive this year, and the guys are convinced the winner of this conference will head to the CFP, but the question is who will that be? Four teams sit at the top with undefeated conference records currently. Navy, #22 Memphis, #19 USF and Tulane. Who will come away with the title and probably CFP berth?All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.(1:28) - What led to James Franklin's firing?(9:52) - Who should Penn State look to hire?(29:19) - The Big Ten's latest private equity issue in Southern California(44:43) - Texas Tech's Big 12 dominance(51:53) - The American Conference to the CFP?

Elsewhere in the Big 10, Penn State's downhill slide continued as the Nittany Lions suffered a loss to Northwestern and lost Drew Allar to a season-ending injury, sparking questions about head coach James Franklin's future.  In the SEC, the trio breaks down officiating drama that plagued the Auburn vs. Georgia matchup including a controversial fumble call and Kirby Smart convincing officials his calling for a timeout was simply him clapping on the sideline.

Week 7 is here and it is a big week for the Big Ten's undefeated teams. The premiere matchup on Saturday will be #7 Indiana visiting #3 Oregon. Both teams are coming off of a bye following close games the week prior. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this matchup and debate who they think holds the advantage. It will be a matchup of two top coaches in college football alongside two of the top quarterbacks in the game. The teams appear to be pretty evenly matched, but who will come out on top? Then the discussion shifts to the top team in the nation as #1 Ohio State takes a visit to #17 Illinois this weekend. Ohio State's defense is on pace to be historically dominant behind All-American safety Caleb Downs. Ross talks about his interview with Downs and his takeaways from that chat. The guys then discuss what Ohio State's road to the playoff looks like. Also, they discuss #15 Michigan paying a visit to USC. It appears the fans of both teams are starting to grow a little restless with their head coaches and Andy thinks that the fans of the losing team may start to jump ship. Later, we briefly step away from talking games because there is some important college football news to discuss as well. To start, Ross' shares his Congressional Minute providing updates on the SCORE and SAFE Acts. This is followed by the guys discussing the latest issue with the College Sports Commission and the new, single transfer portal window officially being announced.

The college football season is about halfway over and there are a lot of teams' seasons that are sitting in the middle of catastrophe and staying in the College Football Playoff hunt. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss which of these teams may survive and who may be looking for a new coach at the end of the year. Does the losing coach of LSU and South Carolina have to be concerned for his job after so much preseason hype? Is the loser of Texas and Oklahoma eliminated them from CFP contention, or would Oklahoma be able to survive a loss? Will Hugh Freeze be out with a loss to Georgia?Later, a major controversy was the talk of the sports media world yesterday and today the guys discuss. The controversy surrounded Paul Finebaum's absence on ESPN after his interview with Clay Travis, where Finebaum spoke about potential interest in running for Republican Senate in Alabama. Monday, Travis claimed Finebaum was banned from the ESPN main network after not seeing Finebaum on any of the usual shows he is on over the last week. ESPN denied any truth to this and then speculation began. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what all seems to be happening and if there appears to be any truth or if this all may be designed to drum up controversy.*Disclaimer: This conversation was recorded before any confirmation of Finebaum appearing on ESPN on Tuesday morning.Finally, in the new world of NIL and college football, some teams and conferences were bound to fall behind. Steven Godfrey discusses the difficulties the Group of Five teams are having in this new world.

Week 6 is in the books, and what looked like it was not going to be a very exciting week of college football proved to be anything but that. The premiere matchup of the night had #3 Miami visiting #18 Florida State. Despite a late comeback by the Seminoles, the Hurricanes proved to be the more dominant team as they walked away with a 28-22 win. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss Miami's performance, the emergence of Malachi Toney and the overwhelming Miami defense. Plus, they chat about if Miami will be the number one seed in the CFP and if FSU can still make a run for the playoff? Then, the guys discuss the most shocking upset of the day as 0-4 UCLA defeated #7 Penn State. Behind newly named OC Jerry Neuheisel, UCLA scored 42 points and hung on to win 42-37. After two devastating losses, what is going on with Penn State, and are there brighter days ahead this season?Later, the guys discuss another upset from Saturday as Florida took down #9 Texas. Arch Manning continued to struggle as he threw two interceptions on the way to a 29-21 Florida win. With so much hype entering the season, how can Arch turn his season around, or is it time to bench Arch Manning? Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss this and if there is a path for Texas to still make it to the CFP?Lastly, the guys discuss the other big matchup of the day that saw #10 Alabama avenge last season's upset and beat #16 Vanderbilt. Ty Simpson impressed with over 300 yards passing as Alabama continues to look like a much different team than the one the country saw in the first week of the season when they lost to Florida State. Is Alabama the team to beat out of the SEC despite their early season struggles? A difficult schedule will soon show what can be expected out of this team.All of this and more to wrap up Week 6 on College Football Enquirer.(1:28) - #3 Miami defeats #18 Florida State(19:35) - UCLA upsets #7 Penn State(31:15) - Florida upsets #9 Texas(52:04) - #10 Alabama defeats #16 Vanderbilt(1:04:38) - Around the country  Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Week 6 is just a few days away and a few teams are out for some redemption this week. We start in Florida as #18 Florida State looks to redeem themselves after being upset last week at Virginia. However, the redemption will not come easy as they host #3 Miami. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this matchup and look at what Florida State has on the line trying to avoid back-to-back losses.

Then, we head to Tuscaloosa as they discuss #10 Alabama hosting #16 Vanderbilt. Alabama is looking to avenge last season's major upset and there will be no underestimating Vanderbilt this year. Can Diego Pavia still lead Vandy to another upset?Later, Ross steps off of the field and onto the court as he shares a bit of insider news about college basketball's NCAA tournament. Talk about expanding the field has continued, with an increase to 76 teams being the most likely choice if the field does expand. Not only do the guys have some strong feelings about this potential move, but they also discuss if this could have any impact on CFP expansion talk. Then, ESPN's Dan Wetzel (who listeners might be familiar with) had to make sure the guys didn't run out of stories to talk about, so he broke some news on Wednesday about the Big Ten.

On Sunday, Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey talked about how they expected Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman to be fired in the near future. By the time the episode was released, Arkansas had indeed fired Pittman, who was in his 6th season. Former Arkansas head coach, and current offensive coordinator, Bobby Petrino, has been named interim head coach and he made it clear that he is interested in removing that interim title. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss why this may be a more desirable job than it appears and who might be a fit for the new era of Arkansas football. They also debate if Petrino has a chance at becoming the full-time head coach and how Arkansas can have a program turnaround similar to the one Ole Miss is having right now. Later, we get Ross' Congressional Minute as he explains the new SAFE Act that is being introduced into the Senate. This is a similar act to the already introduced SCORE Act, but there are some key differences. Ross explains the differences between the acts and what they mean for the future of college athletics. The guys discuss which is a better act and where the discussions in Congress will go from here. Lastly, the Week 5 slate in college football was jam-packed with marquee matchups. However, Week 6 is lacking in comparison.

They walked out with a win after taking down #3 Penn State in a double overtime game. The Ducks and first-year quarterback Dante Moore continue to impress this season as they claim the huge victory. Although many people may blame James Franklin for the loss, Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey talk about how this is not the game bash James Franklin for. They also discuss how impressive this Ducks team is under head coach Dan Lanning, if Dante Moore is the best quarterback in the country and if Oregon has a realistic chance to go 12-0, again. Later, the guys discuss the madness over in the SEC.

It has been a busy Week 5 in college football and there haven't even been any games played yet. Tuesday was a drama filled day in the state of Oklahoma. It was announced that three games into his 21st season, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy was fired. The Oklahoma State legend had taken the school to unprecedented heights, but in recent years there was more struggle than triumph. Losing 11 of his last 12 games, and starting the year with a 1-2 record, that included a 69-3 loss to Oregon and a loss to Tulsa, appeared to be the final straw. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey react to the firing and discuss where it all started to go wrong for Gundy in recent years. Plus, some other news that came out on Tuesday was that Oklahoma's starting quarterback, John Mateer, broke his hand in Oklahoma's victory over Auburn and needed surgery. He is presumed to be out about a month, but no official timeline has been released. The guys discuss if Oklahoma can survive without Mateer, especially heading into the Red River Rivalry on Oct. 11. Can they still make the playoffs with a few losses if they look good when Mateer returns? Later, Ross gives us his report from the commissioners' meetings this week. Ross was on-site for the meetings where the College Football Playoff formats of the future were discussed. How soon may we get a new format or will we get one at all?

One month has passed in the college football season as Week 4 is now in the books. There were some dominant performances that led the way including #17 Texas Tech dominating #16 Utah at the line of scrimmage. The college football world has been interested to see the Red Raiders get tested after an offseason of revamping their team through the portal, spending heavily on NIL. On Saturday, at least, that plan paid off as the Red Raiders came out of Salt Lake City with a 34-10 victory.

Was Illinois overrated or is Indiana actually that good? The guys discuss. They also take a look at a few other embarrassing losses from Saturday. Oklahoma State, Clemson and North Carolina all look like programs in disarray. Can any of them salvage a season, or is it doom and gloom for them this year? The guys chat about each program's issues. Lastly, the American Conference has been very impressive this season and people have started to take notice.

Week 4 is upon us and it is a huge weekend for the Big Ten. The game everyone has been talking about involves two schools that have not been thought of as powers in the conference, but they may have something to say about that this year. 9th-ranked Illinois visits 19th-ranked Indiana in the first big test of the season for both schools. Steven Godfrey explains why he thinks this game is so important for the Big Ten. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger join in on previewing the game. Another notable Big Ten matchup this week involves 21st-ranked Michigan visiting undefeated Nebraska. Michigan goes into the game without head coach Sherrone Moore, who is serving part of his suspension from the Michigan penalties. The unusual part is that Moore was not only suspended for the game, but he was also suspended for the whole week. The guys discuss this unique situation and give their thoughts on how this game may play out. Later in the show, Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the spirited press conference from Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney. Although no one truly believes he is getting fired, the guys discuss why he may have decided to say all that he said.

Three weeks into the college football season and there have already been two head coaches fired. UCLA's DeShaun Foster and Virginia Tech's Brent Pry are out. Neither coach had won a game this season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey talk about where the Bruins and Hokies go from here in their search for a new leader. They also discuss who may be next on the chopping block. After struggling to begin the season, Florida's Billy Napier, Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy and Wisconsin's Luke Fickell are names to keep an eye on. Can these coaches turn it around and cool off the hot seat like some other coaches have done this year?Later in the show, the guys chat about a new trend in college football for how to revamp a struggling offense. The new philosophy is to bring over another school's offensive coordinator and his quarterback. Two successful examples of this, so far this season, are Oklahoma's OC Ben Arbuckle and QB John Mateer and Utah's OC Jason Beck and QB Devon Dampier. Andy, Ross and Steven discuss why this new trend is proving to be successful and if they think this will grow to be the norm. The 16th-ranked Utes have a big test this weekend as they host 17th-ranked Texas Tech. It will be a clash of offseason philosophies, as the Red Raiders focused on investing heavily in NIL to improve their team. Finally, the guys chat about why the ACC has everybody talking. This year they've rolled out a new level of transparency as they have decided to let you behind the curtain during replay reviews. This new level of insight has excited and intrigued many people in the college football landscape. Andy, Ross and Steven give their thoughts and discuss whether this could lead to even larger levels of access for the viewer in the future.All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.(1:39) - DeShaun Foster and Brent Pry fired(15:44) - Who may be the next head coach to go?(33:02) - The new OC/QB package deal philosophy (49:25) - ACC's new replay transparency on broadcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Week 3 of the college football season is in the books and it did not lack drama. South Bend was rocking as #8 Notre Dame hosted #16 Texas A&M. A game that came down to a botched PAT and a late TD saw the Aggies upset the Irish 41-40. Ross Dellenger was in attendance and chats with Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey about the scene. They discuss how good this A&M team really is and if Notre Dame can overcome this 0-2 start or if their playoff hopes are gone.Another game that came down to the wire saw #6 Georgia squeak past #15 Tennessee in an overtime thriller. Joey Aguilar and Gunner Stockton have been standouts for their respective teams this season and the guys chat about the impact both of these quarterbacks are having. They also discuss the parity in the SEC and how competitive the conference is this season from top to bottom.Later, the guys discuss the scene at Brian Kelly's LSU press conference following their win over Florida. They analyze whether Kelly was justified at being upset by the first question asked to him, how LSU's offense needs to improve as the season goes on and the expectations on Kelly in year 4 at LSU. Finally, the guys take a look at the quarterbacks everyone was talking about coming into the season and discuss why they seem to be struggling at the beginning of the year. Were the evaluations severely incorrect, or is it too early in the season to pass judgement on some of these quarterbacks? Plus, Andy, Ross and Steven discuss the new world of quarterback transfers. May the trend of bringing in a top qb prospect and his offensive coordinator begin to increase? Evidence suggests this may be the way of the future.Get your Week 3 recap from College Football Enquirer.(2:45) - #16 Texas A&M upsets #8 Notre Dame(17:43) - #6 Georgia survives #15 Tennessee(22:54) - What do we know about the SEC after three weeks?(31:04) - Brian Kelly sounds off on the media(49:51) - What QBs may be overrated?(54:48) - New wave of OC/QB transfer combo(58:29) - Teams who may be looking for a new coach(1:02:03) - Other notable games from the weekend Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Week 3 is upon us! After only two weeks, the college football season has not disappointed as it's delivered on entertaining games and big surprises. There is no reason to believe Week 3 will be any different as it is headlined by a huge game in South Bend. 16th-ranked Texas A&M visits 8th-ranked Notre Dame. After a close loss to Miami to start the season and a bye in Week 2, the Fighting Irish have a lot to prove to backup the preseason hype. With no ranked teams currently remaining on their schedule, would a loss to the Aggies all but eliminate them from the CFP conversation? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey debate this topic as they preview the game. Plus, there was a lot of drama during the week about AP voting. The guys share their thoughts on the situation and talk about times they messed up when they had an AP vote. They also share whether or not the AP should change their voting system. Should we have a year-round poll, even in the offseason?Later, Ross shares his Congressional Minute that is much more than a minute. The future of college football is being discussed in Washington D.C. today with the SCORE Act (Student Compensation and Opportunity through Rights and Endorsements Act) and the Sports Broadcasting Act being the two cornerstones of the conversation. Both of these acts may drastically change the future of the sport and college athletics in general. Ross breaks down the details of each of these acts and the impact they could have. The guys then discuss these monumental decisions and what they think the end result will be.Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven make their picks for this week's I've Got A Feeling with Georgia, Texas A&M and Washington State getting the nod from the crew. Altogether the crew's record is 1-5, but there is hope this week will drastically improve that record.
