Things Discussed: IU national champions: Most unlikely championships in the history of sports. Credit Cignetti and top to bottom program management. How did they do it? Talent evaluation is elite. Built like 2023 Michigan: develop a lot of your own guys and then surgically found guys in the portal. Seth: Lesson for the rest of CFB is ROI: IU wasn't paying that much for their JMU guys, wasn't spending to have 5-stars learning to play on the three-deep. Focus shifting from Ty Haywoods (super talented, needs 3 years) to Blake Frazier (ready now) because there's no guarantee you'll get any return. Need to build your scouting department to watch all of CFB and know what you need. Sam: Can Michigan recreate the JMU Dudes with some of the Utah guys they got? Not a coincidence the Big Ten is winning championships and SEC isn't even in the game. Two reasons the SEC was dominant: they had a culture of paying players under the table and they had Nick Saban. Being able to develop guys (without them leaving or costing too much) will be the golden egg in the future. How sustainable? Maybe? Bringing in a veteran QB every year, DC might get Jesse Minter'd to a better job. Should remain a good team, very hard to repeat. Hoops: Shooting better? Maybe, but 3s are random and they're probably capped around okay in that department because they have guys like Gayle, Cason and Yax. IU lost their main guy who could get to the bucket and M could lock them down. Excellent defensive performance disguised by Kenpom. IU shut down M's transition game by abandoning the boards. Interesting decision by IU because those were M weaknesses. Yax okay? Think he plays off Rez—the scouting report is focus on Yaxel so that's opened up things for Johnson, since no team has enough big wings to last against both of them. Ohio State preview: OSU is an effort game—Thornton can shoot and they make a lot of floaters. CANNOT let them cut and get to the rim. They don't play defense so you have to put up 100 on them. Nebraska: Nebraska might be without their freshman winger Braden Frager, that makes them a five-out team. Can you play Mara against them? Break: Tatum to RB? Probably a Whittingham "gonna try that" thing. He's had success with that, but it's a bit late and there's no scouting on it. Like what it says about Tatum as a team player. Don't think he can play both AND baseball. That's a lot, and safety is the moon to him. Hockey: Michigan is #1 in Big Ten points percentage but they've got the hardest schedule of any team in hockey left to go. Let off the gas for 10 minutes of 120 against Minnesota and were unlucky not to get more goals. Have to protect Peck—this team can play defense like that, going to have to maintain that focus. Can't lose points against the OSUs and Minnesotas because the games vs MSU/Wisconsin will determine the league. Can you get Ivankovic back? Maybe? Haven't heard anything positive except they haven't ruled it out. Trey Burke: Top three player in M history? Yeah. Block was clean, and so was the team.

In this episode of the JMU Sports News podcast, Bennett Conlin and Jack Fitzpatrick get into everything happening around JMU athletics right now, with a heavy focus on basketball and the transfer portal. They start by talking roster construction, including the recent wave of big offensive linemen coming in, and why size, experience, and physicality matter so much heading into next season. From there, the conversation turns to all things transfer portal. Bennett and Jack break down the newest additions, where they're coming from, what they bring to the table, and how tricky it can be to manage a roster in today's portal era. They also zoom out and look at what all of this means for JMU as it tries to compete week-in and week-out in the Sun Belt. Then the guys don't hold back when it comes to JMU men's basketball, sharing their frustrations with the team's recent play and questioning some of the coaching decisions along the way. Offensive struggles, defensive lapses, and the overall direction of the program are all on the table. To wrap things up on a brighter note, they shift to the women's basketball team, talking about the upside, the energy around the program, and why there's genuine excitement heading into the next stretch of games.

Best Christmas gifts this year? Ducks handle business (mostly) against JMU, setting up quarterfinal game vs Texas Tech. Jared Goff vs Vikings... woof. Looking at the World Baseball Classic Team USA roster.

Last show of the year! We got the whole gang - Roddy, Wayne, Felder, and Hartzell - together to break down these CFP quarterfinal games (which start on Wednesday night, by the way). After about 15 minutes of coach talk dedicated to the latest Michigan Man (TM) and what to expect in Ann Arbor, the guys jump into the quartet of CFP games that await us. Does Roddy still think Miami is the most dangerous team in the playoff? Which quarterback in Miami/OSU are we more concerned about staying upright and why should Buckeyes fans be worried about the Cotton Bowl? Can Oregon's defense get it together against Texas Tech in the Orange? Or did they just look that bad on defense because they didn't respect JMU last week? Hartzell has a hot take on the Rose Bowl that everyone else vehemently disagrees with. Felder is riding with Alabama again after calling the upset last week against Oklahoma. And finally, does anyone have faith that Ole Miss can shock the Dawgs in New Orleans? There's a consensus on this game that probably won't surprise you. Is 5'8" almost 5'10" ... and does it really matter? Last CSN of 2025 coming in hot, let's make it count!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back to discuss the Oregon Ducks taking care of business against James Madison, advancing in the College Football Playoffs and putting three Big Ten programs into the quarterfinals. Dan Lanning and company jumped all over the Dukes early, but allowed 28 points in the second half including 14 in the final quarter that gave JMU the backdoor cover (much to the chagrin of our hosts). The guys look ahead to the rest of the Big Ten bowl games, previewing each of them and giving their picks against the spread. Northwestern, Minnesota, Penn State, Illinois, USC, Iowa, Michigan & Nebraska are all in action before the calendar turns to 2026. On New Year's Eve No. 2 Ohio State takes on No. 10 Miami in the Cotton Bowl and then on New Year's Day No. 5 Oregon faces No. 4 Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl and No. 1 Indiana faces No. 9 Alabama in the Rose Bowl.

The College Football Playoff is here. In this episode, we pop the hood on the four first round matchups and break down our biggest questions. Is Oklahoma more lucky than good? Can Alabama's offense get out of its rut? How will Miami's offensive line hold up against Texas A&M's front four and a loud Kyle Field? Are the Aggies trustworthy? To what degree will Ole Miss feel the absence of Lane Kiffin? Can Oregon run against James Madison? And do both Tulane and JMU belong in the College Football Playoff? Plus, breaking news with both DJ Lagway and Dylan Raiola reportedly jumping in the transfer portal, the latest names in the Michigan coaching search, and Fernando Mendoza's Heisman victory.
