It's a victory celebration on Bama and Bourbon! Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles from Yea Alabama pour up Uncle Nearest Single Barrel and break down Alabama's thrilling comeback win at Oklahoma, where the Crimson Tide erased a 17–0 deficit to knock off the Sooners and advance in the College Football Playoff. The guys dive into what sparked the turnaround, how Alabama's defense clamped down, the resilience of the Tide offense under pressure, and what this statement win says about Kalen DeBoer's team on the national stage. They also begin to look ahead to the next challenge — a massive Rose Bowl matchup against #1 Indiana — discussing early keys, matchups to watch, and what Alabama must do to keep its championship hopes alive. All of the playoff talk is paired with a premium pour of Uncle Nearest Single Barrel, as Lance and Aaron share tasting notes, flavor profiles, and why this bold bourbon is the perfect companion for a playoff comeback celebration.
In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan head-coaching search so far, including the key storylines, candidates and factors to watch just under two weeks in. They open with a look at the search so far, and what it says about the Wolverines. They discuss Michigan going all-in on Kalen DeBoer before Alabama's College Football Playoff win, why it made sense, and the Wolverines' top candidates after DeBoer's playoff run with the Crimson Tide got extended. They discuss Jeff Brohm, Adam Stenavich, Kyle Whittingham and others, as well as the level of appeal of the Michigan job, and why timing isn't on their side. In the second half of the episode, they break down less heralded candidates, including Biff Poggi, Glenn Schumann, Jay Harbaugh, Tony Annese and others. They also look at the timeline of the hire, what the next week might look like, the roster retention side of things and more.

The Christmas holiday season is now underway. Yours truly will trek down I-20 to visit family in north Louisiana for several days later this week. This will be the final SwampSwami report for 2025, so let’s make it worth your time with some bold predictions for the upcoming playoff games! First, a review of last weekend’s first round of the College Football Playoffs #9 seed Alabama 34, #8 Oklahoma 24 The Oklahoma Sooners looked unbeatable early in the second quarter of last Friday night’s opening game of this year’s playoffs. Alas, it was the second half of that same second quarter which wrecked the Sooner Schooner and its national title hopes. OU raced to 17-0 lead early in the second quarter by scoring on three consecutive possessions. Alabama finally put some points on the board with a 75-yard touchdown drive to make it 17-7. Then Oklahoma’s All-SEC punter Grayson Miller accidentally dropped the ball just prior to punting it. Bama quickly recovered and would kick a field goal to trail 17-10. On the next possession, Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer completed a beautiful pass – right into the hands of Alabama defensive back Zabien Brown – for a 50-yard interception and score for the Crimson Tide. This game went to halftime tied at 17 apiece. The Oklahoma football team and its home crowd of more than 80,000 looked shocked and deflated heading to the locker room after a self-inflicted second quarter collapse. Alabama tacked on ten more points in the third quarter to take a 27-17 lead. The Tide went on to win 34-24 and will face #1 seed Indiana in a second round game on January 1. #10 seed Miami 10, #7 seed Texas A&M 3 Nobody could have predicted this putrid offensive performance by both teams in the first two quarters. The scoreboard registered 0-0 at halftime on a dry, warm 75-degree Saturday afternoon in College Station, Texas. Miami finally got on the scoreboard with a third quarter field goal. They were matched by Texas A&M early in the fourth quarter to make the score 3-3. That’s when Hurricanes’ running back Mark Fletcher, Jr. took over and literally carried his team on his back Saturday with 172 rushing yards. His punishing fourth quarter runs carried the Canes downfield to take a 10-3 lead with two minutes to go. A final drive by the Aggies to the Miami 5-yard line ended when Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed was intercepted on a questionable pass into the end zone. Miami returns to the state of Texas next Wednesday night to play #2 seed Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve. #6 seed Ole Miss 41, #11 seed Tulane 10 Before you blinked, the Coach Lane Kiffin-less Rebels jumped to a 14-0 lead with only a few minutes gone in the first quarter. You may remember that Ole Miss played Tulane earlier in the season and came away with a lopsided 45-10 victory. Tulane never had a chance (again) in stepping-up to play this high-scoring SEC foe. The Green Wave finished the season with an 11-3 record. Ole Miss travels to New Orleans to face #3 seed Georgia next Thursday on New Year’s Day in the Sugar Bowl. #5 seed Oregon 51, #12 seed James Madison 34 The Ducks had their way with the JMU Dukes in Saturday’s final first round College Football Playoff game. Oregon led 34-6 at halftime and coasted the rest of the way. James Madison finished its season with an outstanding 12-2 record. The Ducks of Oregon will migrate across the USA next week to play #4 seed Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day. Prediction time! Wednesday, December 31 – 6:30PM CST on ESPN – Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas #2 seed Ohio State (12-1) vs. #10 seed Miami (FL) (11-2) Ohio State is rusty after nearly a month off, but they have more than enough firepower to sink Miami’s battleship. The Hurricanes’ very expensive NIL transfer quarterback Carson Beck needs to have his best game of the year to deliver a win for the Canes. I don’t think he will. Prediction – Ohio State 31, Miami 14 Thursday, January 1 – 11AM CST on ESPN – Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida #5 seed Oregon (12-1) vs. #4 seed Texas Tech (12-1) Oregon and Texas Tech can light-up the scoreboard, but the Red Raiders’ defense should become the big difference in this game. Oregon’s second half against James Madison displayed a number of defensive lapses. Texas Tech took good notes and should exploit the Ducks secondary in rolling to a surprisingly easy win. Prediction – Texas Tech 38, Oregon 24 Thursday, January 1 – 3PM CST on ESPN – Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California #9 seed Alabama (11-3) vs. #1 seed Indiana (13-0) The only unbeaten team in major college football takes center stage in the famous Rose Bowl against SEC power Alabama. Indiana’s gritty 13-10 win over Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game validated their claim to the #1 spot. Alabama’s offense must duplicate its second half performance against Oklahoma’s defense in order to stay close in this game. In the end, Indiana’s Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza has a more balanced offense than Alabama and should prevail. Prediction – Indiana 28, Alabama 17 Thursday, January 1 – 7PM CST on ESPN – Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, Louisiana #6 seed Ole Miss (12-1) vs. #3 seed Georgia (12-1) Watch to see if the Ole Miss offense can exploit enough weaknesses in the Georgia defense to stay close in the first half of this game. If not, Georgia’s ball-control offense has a tendency to wear down opponents late in the game. Georgia has a proven big-time coach in two-time national champion Kirby Smart. I cannot pick four favorites, so I like Ole Miss to jump to an early lead and stun Georgia in the Superdome next week. Prediction – Ole Miss 27, Georgia 21 Now, let’s review Saturday’s FCS Semifinals and make a Championship Prediction! #2 seed Montana State 48, #3 seed Montana 23 Montana State has been really close to winning a national title in recent years. The Bobcats have finished second to North Dakota State three times in the past five seasons. This year, the Bison of NDSU lost – at home – to fast-improving Illinois State and left the door open for a new champion. Montana State (now 13-2) punched its ticket to the title game on January 5 in Nashville with an emphatic fourth quarter performance to eliminate intrastate rival Montana. The Bobcats scored 21 points in the final quarter on Saturday afternoon to pull away from the Grizzlies. Montana State will be attempting to win the school’s first FCS national title since 1984. Unseeded Illinois State 30, #12 seed Villanova 14 Illinois State won its fourth consecutive road playoff game by wearing down Villanova in Philadelphia on Saturday night. The “Roadbirds” improved to 12-4 in advancing to the FCS title game in Nashville in less than two weeks. Illinois State traveled south, north, west, and east to defeat Southeastern Louisiana, defending champion North Dakota State, UC-Davis, and Villanova in succession in this year’s FCS playoffs. Quarterback Tommy Rittenhouse, school-record holding wide receiver Daniel Sobkowicz, and the Redbirds’ relentless 220-pound running back senior Victor Dawson controlled the football for nearly 40 minutes to just 20 for Villanova in Saturday night’s latest win. The Redbirds will try to grab the school’s first FCS football championship against 13-2 Montana State in the title game. *Prediction – FCS Championship Game – Monday, January 5 – 6:30PM CST on ESPN in Nashville, Tennessee #2 seed Montana State (13-2) vs. unseeded Illinois State (12-4) The two teams which have defeated all comers and will face-off in a fascinating title game being held this year at Vanderbilt University’s football stadium in Nashville. Montana State is capable of beating teams methodically or with big plays on offense. The Bobcats’ opportunistic defense has been stellar all season. This confident Illinois State team fears no one. The Redbirds just became the first FCS football team to go 4-0 on the road to reach the finals. Illinois State’s defense can be suspect at times. Montana State must not allow the Redbirds to control the ball like they have done throughout their incredible run in the FCS playoffs. This game should be a dandy! I like the experience of Montana State to prevail in a very competitive title game. Prediction – Montana State 35, Illinois State 28 Heaux, Heaux, Heaux – it’s time for me to geaux! Merry Christmas to all! The post Holiday College Football Review + Playoff Predictions! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.
Recorded: December 22nd 2025 | Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are back on the bus with a special guest this week — College Football Playoff quarterback Ty Simpson of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Before Ty hops on, the boys kick things off by breaking down Taylor Lewan’s trip to Norman, Oklahoma and College Station, including a little sideline-pass drama that had things getting spicy. Will Compton also recaps his family Christmas trip to New York City — which somehow went fantastic. Then Ty Simpson joins the show and this one takes off. Ty dives into his journey to Alabama, what it was like being recruited by Nick Saban, and the chaos of winning in Norman against the Sooners — complete with 50 Cent, wild fanfare, and an unforgettable atmosphere. He breaks down the Crimson Tide’s epic comeback, his mindset in the middle of the madness, and what it takes to stay ready when your moment comes. Ty’s been a Tier 1 Bussin’ With The Boys supporter for a long time, and the boys reflect on first meeting him back when he was a third-string quarterback — leading to plenty of laughs, stories, and locker-room energy. Plus, Jack McPherson sneaks in a breakdown of a hockey game featuring Matt “Ferda” Malone because… of course he does. Football stories, playoff pressure, Alabama culture, and classic bus chaos — this one’s got it all.Big Hugs, Tiny Kisses TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro2:58 Will In NYC7:38 The Boys CFP Trip41:26 TY SIMPSON INTERVIEW STARTS41:50 Ty Almost Took Taylor Out43:13 Alabama’s Chip On Their Shoulder46:29 Mindset Being Down 17-050:04 The Oklahoma Atmosphere53:32 How Important Was The Two Week Break54:31 Leadership Of Coach DeBoer 56:49 Why He Decided To Stay At Alabama 1:01:32 How Tempting Was The Portal? 1:03:52 Will And Ty Have Met Before 1:07:16 Bud Light Question1:08:56 Ty Is The Man1:12:01 Alabama Coming Back1:15:08 Will Held Himself Back On Twitter1:17:19 Michigan Still Has No Coach1:24:04 Matt Malone Is A Beer League Hockey StudSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alabama and Indiana travel to Los Angeles for a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day at 3 Central, a game shown on ESPN. The Southeastern 16 crew previews the game. Topics include: The undefeated Hoosiers are the No. 1 seed in the Playoff and are rested after a Big Ten title-game win over Ohio State that vaulted quarterback Fernando Mendoza to the Heisman Trophy, also thanks to protection behind second-team AP All-American tackle Carter Smith. Alabama fell behind 17-0 at Oklahoma but avenged an eariier loss to the Sooners thanks to better special-teams play and a huge pick-6 by cornerback Zabien Brown. The Crimson Tide have to figure out a better rushing attack than they've shown, and must get Jam Miller going if they're going to pull an upset. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson was money, and got some help from Germie Bernard and Lotzier Brooks vs. Oklahoma. However, the Crimson Tide need a better performance out of Ryan Williams (105 yards receiving in his last five contests) or some other capable offensive player to pull an upset. Indiana had a nice rushing tandem of Kaelon Black (799 yards) and Roman Hemby (918) as well as balance at receiver (804 yards from Omar Cooper Jr., 515 from Charlie Becker and Elijah Surratt's 687). Indiana's defense was elite. The Hoosiers gave up 11.6 points and 259 yards per game and forced turnovers on 3.4% of snaps. Lineman Tyrique Hunter and linebacker Aiden Fisher each earned third-team All-American honors while linebackers Roiijah Hardy (eight sacks) and Isaiah Jones (six) brought the pass rush, and defensive back Louis Moore had eight picks.

The first round of the College Football Playoff is in the books. Oregon, Ole Miss, Alabama and Miami move on to the quarterfinal matchups on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. While some of the matchups in the first round this season were more competitive than last year, the lop-sided victories over the Group of Five schools, Tulane and James Madison, have sparked debate on whether there should be G5 schools in the CFP. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey have a heated debate on this topic. Ross Dellenger also joins in as the three discuss what changes should be made for future College Football Playoffs. Then, they dive deeper into the matchup that saw Alabama come away victorious. The guys discuss all of the talk, leading up to the game, about Kalen DeBoer and if he would be leaving for Michigan or potentially even fired if he lost this game. They also talk about how Alabama handled their early deficit, in contrast to how they played in the SEC title game, and if the Crimson Tide can make a run.Later, the guys discuss the Michigan coaching search and where it is at. DeBoer appears to be out, especially since he is still in the CFP, and now Michigan's rumored other target is off of the table. Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham has signed an extension to stay with the Sun Devils, eliminating him from the Michigan opening. Biff Poggi is the interim head coach. Is there a chance he could become the permanent choice? Some other ideas are tossed out about a coach with the last name Harbaugh and a coach who just stepped down in Utah.

The guys break down what the Crimson Tide look like right now, including QB Ty Simpson, Alabama's passing game strengths, questions in the run game, and which personnel Indiana must account for.

Southeastern 16's Jay Greeson and Chris Lee unpack the matter of whether Georgia should be the national title favorite. Topics include: Kirby Smart has his team peaking at the right time--and is there any coach you'd trust more in the postseason than Kirby Smart? Just one team managed to beat Georgia during the regular season--Alabama--and Georgia just smashed the Crimson Tide in the Southeastern Conference title match two weeks ago. The Bulldogs entered the season very talented, but also very young. Peaking at season's end was a very predictable trajectory. Listen to Kirby Smart's interview with David Pollack on the “See Ball, Get Ball” podcast this week. You can hear the confidence and the faith in the work ethic. The Bulldogs showed up in big circumstances: a September win at Tennessee, a win in a rivalry game at Auburn, a home defeat of Ole Miss, a neutral-site win over Florida in a rivalry game on a day the Gators showed up to play, a dominant performance at Mississippi State, a 25-point demolition of Texas and a defeat of Georgia Tech in a rivalry game. Nate Frazier has been running well, Gunner Stockton makes timely plays and the defense is peaking at the same time. Is there a dominant team anywhere? On the other hand, many of those wins weren't dominant performances and on the whole. Some elements of Georgia's season (a per-play edge of just 5.8 yards to 4.9, a turnover margin of zero) were merely good and not national-title level. Where are the superstars? After all that, how do we see the Bulldogs? (HINT: The answers may be in things we haven't mentioned above!)

We break down why this move could impact Alabama football immediately.Then, we shift to the playoff matchup itself with special guest and former Alabama defensive back Jared Mayden. Can Alabama avenge its regular-season loss? Will the Crimson Tide be healthy at key positions? Can Ty Simpson get the Alabama offense rolling against one of the best defenses in college football? We analyze how Alabama limited Oklahoma's playmakers last time, including Isaiah Sategna III, John Mateer, and the Sooners' running game, and whether that success can be repeated.
