Doc Walker and Anthony kick off the show reacting to Joel Klatt's latest mock draft, which has the Commanders selecting LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane. Is Delane the lockdown presence Washington's secondary desperately needs? Doc and Anthony break down the traits that make Delane intriguing — his length, physicality at the line of scrimmage, SEC experience, and ability to play in multiple coverage schemes. They also discuss how he would fit into Daronte Jones' defensive philosophy and why adding a high-level corner could immediately elevate a defense that struggled with consistency last season.

When Stephen A. Smith sees Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer, he doesn't see the rightful heir to the Nick Saban dynasty. And, the ESPN personality made that painfully clear once more, but with a caveat. “I'm not a fan of Kalen DeBoer as the successor to Nick Saban. I have no problem with him as a football coach,” Smith said on Monday's edition of The Paul Finebaum Show on SEC Network.

Fox Sports' Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging, must-watch conversation on college football and the evolving College Football Playoff. We begin with Indiana's dismantling of Oregon and the Hoosiers' march to the national championship game. If Indiana goes on to beat Miami, where would this team rank among the greatest teams in college football history? And has Curt Cignetti passed Kirby Smart and others to become the best head coach in the sport? Joel also delivers a bold hot take, arguing that the long-running narrative of SEC superiority is dead. We discuss Ty Simpson receiving massive offers to return to college football via the transfer portal and whether Trinidad Chambliss' case for another year of eligibility at Ole Miss. Finally, we zoom out and tackle one of the biggest debates in the sport: What is the right number of teams for the College Football Playoff? If you're a fan of CFP analysis, Indiana football, national championship debate, SEC vs. national power shifts, and unfiltered insight from one of college football's top voices, this episode is for you.

Joel Klatt talks college football The Transfer Portal was not kind to The Alabama Crimson Tide over the weekend. For starters, former Auburn Tigers receiver Cam Coleman selected the Texas Longhorns. Alabama Football was thought to be, at least, a possibility for Coleman. Later that same day, running back Hollywood Smothers - an Alabama commitment - dropped his Bama commit and also went to Texas. Where does Alabama go next in the Portal? Speaking of Texas Football, the Longhorns are spending some cash in the offseason. What do we take away from Texas throwing around oil money? Does this show that Texas is all in for Arch Manning? Former Alabama QB Ty Simpson is not in the portal, he's headed to the NFL Draft. However, reports say he may be offered as much as $6.5 Million to play college football elsewhere. Where are you on Alabama and Auburn Football in the Portal with 4 days left?

We react to our favorite things said by guests like Joel Klatt, Daniel Jeremiah, Rich Eisen and more this week on our show in For You: In Review. Then, we discuss this weekend's wild card games, the Fiesta Bowl, and Demond Williams reversing course and staying at UW in Need to Know. Plus, we take your calls, as we do every Friday.

NFL windows don't forever, so Salk opens the show by discussing how important it is for the Seahawks to capitalize on this window, especially having the No. 1 seed, similar to how the 2013 Seahawks team did. Later, they re-air their conversation with Joel Klatt of FOX Sports to discuss Demond Williams, the Seahawks and more.

College football appears to be out of control, only further highlighted by the news of UW quarterback Demond Williams entering the transfer portal, so Brock and Salk react to it all and how they feel about the way Williams is handling the entire situation. After that, they bring on Joel Klatt of FOX Sports for his weekly segment in which he expresses all of his thoughts on Demond Williams, college football and the Seahawks chances to win it all.

We continue to get vastly different answers when talking with guests about Sam Darnold. We compare what Joel Klatt, Daniel Jeremiah and Bryan Walters had to say. Then, Kraken voice John Forslund joins us to discuss the team's recent surge and what led to it. Plus, Salk crowns the first Trash Takes winner of the New Year.

Fox Sports' Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for a must-watch breakdown of the latest College Football Playoff drama and the biggest questions facing the sport. We start with Indiana's dominant Rose Bowl win over Alabama, as Joel weighs in on whether the Hoosiers are one of the best college football teams we've ever seen and how Curt Cignetti has pulled it off at a non–blue blood program like Indiana. From the Alabama side, we dig into the fallout for the Crimson Tide: Should Alabama fans be concerned about the lack of a run game under Kalen DeBoer? And what's next for Ty Simpson — should he return to Alabama or make the jump to the NFL? The conversation then turns to the bigger picture as Joel explains what needs to change with the College Football Playoff format, especially with teams holding first-round byes going just 1–7 since the move to a 12-team playoff. Is the structure broken, and how can it be fixed? Plus, we preview another massive postseason storyline: Ole Miss vs. Miami — who has the advantage and why? And Joel addresses the buzz around Lane Kiffin prohibiting assistant coaches from finishing the season at Ole Miss before joining him at LSU, adding even more intrigue to the coaching carousel. If you love college football analysis, CFP reaction, SEC and Big Ten talk, and bold takes from one of the top voices in the sport, this episode is for you.

FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his picks for the College Football Playoff Semifinals between Indiana & Oregon and Miami vs Ole Miss. He explains why we should be talking about this Indiana team as one of the most dominant teams in recent memory as they take on the Ducks. Klatt points out Oregon's best path to an upset against the only unbeaten team in the country. He then makes his pick as Miami takes on an Ole Miss team that is coming off a huge win over Georgia but also dealing with continued coaching uncertainty as several staff members are juggling two jobs – for Lane Kiffin's LSU team and for the Rebels - as they prepare for the biggest game in Ole Miss history. Klatt also reacts to the latest Portal news as Indiana has found their QB and WR combo for next year's team. He also discusses the latest moves by Penn State, bringing in DC D'Anton Lynn from USC and Matt Campbell's QB from Iowa State, Rocco Becht. Klatt reacts to Kyle Whittingham's hires at OC and DC for Michigan and the news that several key players for Michigan have entered the Transfer Portal. 0:00-1:56 Intro1:57-14:39 Peach Bowl preview14:40-22:52 Fiesta Bowl preview22:53-27:22 Transfer portal news around CFB Use my code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order*: https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/KLATT10 Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.
