NFL Week 17 delivered chaos, controversy, and playoff drama

The Big Ten is thriving so far this postseason. With a couple of exceptions, the SEC is wilting. And what of the coaching carousel? Did the Big Ten club the SEC there, too? You could make that case. LSU scored the big fish by securing Lane Kiffin. Mostly, though, SEC schools hired promising but largely unproven up and comers, while Big Ten schools like Michigan and Penn State landed veteran winners with solid resumes. On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams evaluate which conference did it better in this hiring cycle. They also debate which conference has the more complete roster of coaches. And they discuss which SEC schools would have been well-served by hiring Kyle Whittingham, who wound up at Michigan. Later in the episode, the hosts unpack the College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchups, including what's at stake for Kalen DeBoer in Alabama-Indiana and whether Mississippi plays with house money in a rematch with Georgia.

We discuss Eagles vs Bills, Josh Allen’s near-heroics, Philadelphia’s recurring second-half offensive issues, and why Buffalo still can’t be trusted in the playoffs.

On Tuesday's   Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett starts off the show asking if Seahawks fans are ready for their game against the 49ers.  Puck loves the scenario where it's winner takes all and if you look at the matchup on paper and the field the Seahawks have the advantage. Puck is joined by John Canzano from JohnCanzao.comto talk college football, Kyle Whittingham at Michigan, why did Utah let him go, college football playoff preview, and why is college basketball allowing professionals to come back to college to play hoops. Danny Kelly, The Ringer, sits down with Puck and they chat about how nervous and miserable Danny is going to be on Saturday watching the Seahawks game.  Danny would rather have someone tell him the outcome than watch the game!!   They discuss what the biggest storyline will be and that's Mike Macdonald's defense vs. the 49ers. Even though it's a Tuesday, it's an edition of KJ-Arent's with Mitch Levy, because they won't have a show on Thursday on New Years.  Obviously  the biggest topic is the Seahawks and 49ers and Mitch is kinda excited but he would like some insurance on the game and proposes his idea to Seahawks fans.  The full podcast airs during the LIVE Daily Puck Drop, but once the live show is over the ONLY way to watch or listen is if you are a Puck's Posse member!

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot break down the massive Seahawks–49ers matchup, laying out the stark difference between winning the NFC's top seed versus entering the playoffs as a road-bound wild card. They debate San Francisco's battered defense, Seattle's dominant defense, and whether Sam Darnold can rediscover the early-season form that once put him in MVP conversations—especially after scoring just 18 total first-half points over the last four games. Mitch floats a classic emotional hedge: bet the 49ers money-line so a Seahawks win feels priceless and a loss at least comes with consolation cash. Mitch and Brady Henderson break down Seattle's 27–10 win over Carolina, praising another elite defensive performance while sounding alarms about the offense's habit of slow starts and turnovers, with just 18 first-half points over the last four games. They preview Saturday night's NFC West showdown in Santa Clara, weighing a battered 49ers defense against Brock Purdy's red-hot offense and debating which version of Sam Darnold shows up. The segment closes with Taco Time honors for DeMarcus Lawrence and Zach Charbonnet, as Seattle stands one win away from the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch for a wide-ranging College Football Playoff preview, diagnosing Clemson's 7–6 collapse as the moment NIL and the portal finally "happened" to Dabo Swinney, and reacting with surprise to Kyle Whittingham leaving Utah for Michigan as a potential cleanup hire. Neuheisel breaks down all four CFP games, backing Ohio State to survive Miami, Texas Tech to upset Oregon, Indiana to knock off Alabama, and Ole Miss to take down Georgia. He locks in Ole Miss plus the points as his official pick, staying hot at 8–6 against the spread while handing out Taco Time honors along the way.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | High-stakes NFC showdown looms as Seahawks chase the No. 1 seed, debate a hedge bet, and wonder where first-half Sam Darnold went. 3:08 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 24:07 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table - Brady Henderson; Seahawks dominate Carolina but face the ultimate test: hot Niners offense, shaky starts, and everything on the line in Santa Clara. 44:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; College football's new reality hits Clemson, Michigan turns to Kyle Whittingham, and Neuheisel makes his CFP picks with Ole Miss as the hill to die on.
