Alex and Richard conduct the second annual Coach Firing/Retirement/Departure Confidence Draft, assigning point values to 27 FBS coaches based on how likely they are to leave their jobs after the 2026 season, either because they got fired or retired. (Poachings are not included.) Last year, Alex scored a narrow victory thanks to his bold and successful pick of Kyle Whittingham to be out at Utah after the season. Can Richard fight back?The board runs in order of tenure, from Kirk Ferentz's 28th year at Iowa to Bill Belichick's second at North Carolina, and produces wide gaps on Joe Moorhead, Mike Norvell, Luke Fickell, and the exact meaning of a Lincoln Riley departure.

Seth Woolcock and Scott Bogman provide a full breakdown of the biggest college football storylines every bettor needs to know before Week 0. The guys dive into Lane Kiffin’s first season at LSU, Arch Manning and Texas’ tough futures market, Alabama’s quarterback battle between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, Indiana’s attempt to reload after a national championship run, Texas Tech’s Big 12 path after the Brendan Sorsby fallout, Miami’s ACC title value, and the new coaches who could make an immediate impact across college football.

Welcome back to The Bourbon Road, airing from the Bourbon Road Bar in Simpsonville, Kentucky. This week Jim Shannon rejoins co-host Todd after a week away, and the two dive into a four-bottle lineup that spans continents, traditions, and corn colors. The session opens with a pair of Japanese-influenced whiskeys before pivoting to a high-rye Kentucky icon and a blue corn single barrel that rounds out one of the more eclectic tasting mats the show has assembled. On the Tasting Mat: - Bardstown Bourbon Company Distiller's Reserve – Mars Single Malt Japanese Blend: A 109.8-proof collaborative release blending 69% Kentucky 10-year bourbon (74 corn / 18 rye / 8 malted barley), 8% Kentucky 16-year bourbon (75 corn / 13 rye / 12 malted barley), 20% Mars Komagatake 5-year 100% malted barley, and 3% Mars Shinshu 5-year 100% malted barley. The Japanese whiskeys were co-aged with the Kentucky bourbons in barrel for a full year in Kentucky rather than merely finished. Available in 375ml at an MSRP of $100. The nose opens with bright orchard fruit, plum blossom, and a floral spring-day quality. On the palate it delivers concentrated, intense flavor with a mid-palate tingle, rich dark plum, orange marmalade, honeydew, and a savory undertone riding alongside well-integrated oak. *(00:02:52)* - Yokai Small Batch Bourbon (Mugen Spirits, 3rd Release): A 117-proof small batch aged 7–8 years, produced by Louisville-based Mugen Spirits, co-founded by Kojin Tashiro and Justin Delaney. The distillate is sourced from Bardstown Bourbon Company. Labels are created by a Japanese artist, and the name draws from Japanese folklore creatures. MSRP $99.99. The nose is classic and inviting — vanilla cream, cherry, and butterscotch caramel. The palate surprises with intensity: big flavors up front transitioning to a smokier, oakier back palate, with a notable red hots-style sizzle on the sides and rear of the mouth, hints of candy green apple, and a lingering almond nuttiness. *(00:12:52)* - Willett Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon: A cask-strength expression bottled at approximately 126.6 proof, blending 70–80% of Willett's high-rye mash bill (52 corn / 38 rye / 10 malted barley) with 20–30% of their traditional mash bill (72 corn / 13 rye / 15 malted barley), aged 4–5 years across roughly 50-barrel batches. MSRP $65. The nose is unmistakably Willett — spiced gumdrops, menthol, and grain from the pot still, balanced by sweet ethanol appropriate to its proof. On the palate, a bold upfront spice bite gives way to root beer float, Maraschino cherry, whipped cream, and a sassafras-like hound quality, with the finish fading a touch quicker than the powerful front palate suggests. *(00:27:44)* - Bluegrass Distillers Blue Corn Single Barrel Bourbon (7 Year): A single barrel expression bottled at barrel strength, 129 proof, from Elkwood Farm in Midway, Kentucky. The mash bill is 70% blue corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, aged 7 years. MSRP $70, available at the distillery. The nose is subdued and corn-forward with a light graininess and a hint of blueberry. The palate opens up considerably: buttery and pastry-forward with blueberry hand-pie character, a glazed pastry quality, burnt orange citrus notes, and a slow, warming burn. The finish is notably long and satisfying, distinguishing it from the more front-loaded expressions on the mat. *(00:34:29)* Jim and Todd close out the episode with a reminder about their upcoming Roadie gathering at the Frankfurt Bourbon Society on August 22nd from 5–8 PM. Entry is $5 (temporary FBS membership) and requires a Bourbon Road member ID card — sign up free at TheBournonRoad.com to get yours and RSVP through the Roadie Bar event calendar. Expect a room full of sample bottles, Frankfurt Bourbon Society members, door prizes, and good company. Whether you're a local Kentucky Roadie or making a bourbon trail weekend of it, come find Jim and Todd and raise a glass in person.

ESPN's Bill Connelly ranked Ohio State head coach Ryan Day as just the eighth-best coach in college football—a ranking that has Buckeye fans asking one question: Does his résumé support that?

We'll discuss: Ryan Day's 82-12 career record The best winning percentage among active FBS head coaches Five College Football Playoff appearances Two Big Ten Championships The 2024 National Championship Why evaluating Ohio State coaches is different Whether No. 8 is a fair ranking Do you agree with Bill Connelly's ranking?

-Live from Day 2 of Mountain West Media Days in Las Vegas!

Why Does Rice Play Texas? The structure of American collegiate athletics is entirely unique to this country—a cultural and social phenomenon that functions far beyond simple athletic competition. While media conglomerates celebrate massive television contracts and multi-million-dollar multimedia rights agreements, the actual fallout on the ground often results in the immediate destruction of regional identity. On Episode 57 of Mat Stats, the trio of numerical geeks—Jason Bryant, Glenn Gormley, and Kevin Hazard—dissect the massive structural shifts rewriting the collegiate landscape, grounding the conversation in a simple, foundational premise: if an institutional change works for television executives late at night, how exactly does it damage the sport of wrestling? The guys track the evolution of conference alignment and the expansion of the College Football Playoff (CFP), detailing the severe unintended consequences ripping through Olympic sports. Gormley challenges the popular bar-talk theory of restructuring high-level college sports into a minor league baseball scenario, mapping out the logistical nightmare of a five-tier parent-club affiliate system within a 133-team FBS framework. From examining the extreme mathematical probability of Keith Mitchell shooting four consecutive even-par rounds at the U.S. Open to analyzing the weird compression of the March Madness tournament versus the endless 67-day NBA playoff drag, the crew uses hard historical data to separate structural reality from emotional hype. The conversation centers heavily on the preservation of the sport's traditions. With the recent, historic addition of a women's wrestling program at Columbia University—marking the first Ivy League institution to step into the arena—the guys look at how massive institutional endowments can be used strategically to protect the pipeline. From the lost in-state rivalries like Oklahoma-Nebraska and Iowa-Iowa State to the massive financial strain placed on Olympic travel budgets when Stanford faces an ACC conference opponent 2,600 miles away, this episode is a serious, data-driven look at why localized fan experience must always override empty television metrics. Slideshow for Episode 57: https://www.mattalkonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/slideshow57.pdfAbout Mat Stats Welcome to the NWCA's latest venture to help our favorite sport. Glenn Gormley, Jason Bryant and Kevin Hazard outline their effort to bring statistical analysis to wrestling.

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our 2026 Group of Six conference previews by breaking down the resurrected Pac-12, the new-look Mountain West and a wide-open Conference USA. We start with Boise State’s move into the Pac-12 and discuss whether the Broncos are truly a College Football Playoff threat or simply the best team in their new neighborhood. From there, we examine the cases for Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas State and Washington State, along with the conference’s unusual plan to flex matchups during the final week of the regular season. The Mountain West has undergone an even more dramatic transformation, with North Dakota State making the jump to FBS and Northern Illinois and UTEP entering the league. Can NDSU immediately contend with UNLV and New Mexico? Does Hawaii have enough around Micah Alejado to make a run? And can Air Force, Wyoming or one of the conference’s rebuilding programs force its way into the race? We also venture into Conference USA, where Western Kentucky may be the preseason favorite, but Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, Liberty and several recent FBS arrivals give us plenty of reasons to question the established order. Finally, we bolt independent UConn onto the end of the preview and explore Jason Candle’s attempt to rebuild a roster that lost nearly everything from last season.

-THEY LET US GET TO FRIDAY-Blake Engebretson of Bison Report-World Cup quarterfinal picks-More Mountain West -Feel Good News

BetMGM released its Group of Six college football win totals, which allow bettors to pick the "over" or the "under" on that number, and North Dakota State's seems a little high. The Bison, in their first year in FBS and the Mountain West Conference, have a win total of 9.5. In other words, if you bet the over and hope to win money NDSU would have to win 10 games for you to collect. It would seem betting the under is obvious. Even if the Bison have a still-very-successful season and win 9 games ... you'd still win. NDSU's win total prediction is the highest in all of the Group of Six.  Chase Kiddy is a betting analyst and blogger for BetMGM and an old friend of host Mike McFeely's from the time when NDSU and James Madison were fierce playoff rivals in FCS. So Mike called Chase and asked him to explain how the bookmakers at BetMGM could set NDSU's win total so high. Mike wrote about the high number in a column earlier this week, but thought it would be fun to get Chase's thoughts on the 9.5 win total. Here is the full list of BetMGM's win totals in a blog post written by Chase.

Before preview season begins in earnest, we reset the board with the biggest changes you need to know, from conference realignment, new teams, and bowl games to rule tweaks, the coaching carousel and a longer road to the national championship in Las Vegas. Consider this your intro course for the upcoming season. We also run through the biggest names and roster moves shaping the season, including a huge crop of new head coaches, notable broadcast changes, the biggest transfer portal targets, and the quarterback storylines that could define the year. Plus, we look at early national title odds, conference favorites, Group of Six playoff contenders, and the broader themes we’ll be tracking all summer as our full preview series gets underway. Also: the Ball-Sac rivalry, North Dakota State’s FBS arrival, the triumph of bike shorts, the return of the Poinsettia Bowl, and a joyous march in the Fleck Parade.

Now that FBS schools are in a recruiting dead period, it's a good time to reset and talk about all the latest news regarding UW Football recruiting.Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund of Dawgman.com caught up Friday morning to break everything down, from Washington's latest commitments - Jaden Walk-Green and Braylon Logan - to wrapping up UW's last recruiting weekend in June and a look ahead to those players looking to make commitment decisions very soon.Osani Gayles is set to decide on Saturday, June 27 and two offensive linemen that just visited UW - Tye Kennedy and Gecova Doyal - are set to announce their commitment decisions on July 1st. Another offensive lineman that just visited Montlake, DaJohn Yarborough, has announced a commitment date of July 11th.Scott gives his best guesses as to where those players will commit to, as well as others who have visited Washington officially but could announce at any time, including Censere Gaylord, Nolan Balke, Jag Ioane, Evan Mack, and Caden Jones.Scott also talks about the Rashaun Lavata'i recruitment, why he thinks Washington State is the best place for him, and also talks about how the Huskies might finish out their 2027 recruiting class.Will it be with a late flip of a player the Huskies have been recruiting a long time that has committed to another school? Or will it be a late addition to their war room board, a high-flying senior that just burst onto the scene the last few months? If it's the latter, Scott has at least one particular local prospect in mind. All of that and a lot more were covered in this hour-long recruiting reset.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode, we are back to talking about college sports. We have some movement in Congress, more lawsuits in the courts, but the multi-billion dollar question that is in the center of it all is whether college sports will try to package all of their football media rights. I'm joined by sports media legend Chris Bevilacqua to talk about whether schools should pool their FBS football rights, how they can do it, why they should do it, and much, much more. Thank you for listening!
