It's time for the June Q&A. In this college football podcast episode, we explore an unholy dilemma posed by a college football wizard, debate whether the Big Ten's middle tier is really superior to the Big 12, and predict which coaches might be on the hot seat in 2025. Plus, we discuss a popular Nick Saban hypothetical, brainstorm creative revenue solutions for schools facing new player compensation costs, and rank college football programs as early 2000s pop punk bands.Timecodes:0:00 - Intro03:00 - The CFB Memory Wizard10:00 - Big 12 vs the World24:00 - Nick Saban's Coaching Ceiling31:00 - Teams as early 2000s Pop Punk Bands36:00 - The Coaching Hot Seat42:00 - Late Game Viewing Struggles49:00 - Creative CFB Revenue Generators1:01:00 - West Coast Travel TipsA fan of our college football podcast?

Once again, there is drama as the SEC and Big Ten In this college football podcast episode, we recap the drama surrounding the SEC, Big Ten and the shape of the College Football Playoff moving forward into 2026 and beyond. As SEC officials meet in Florida this week, a debate rages on: Does the league push through a CFP format that benefits the sport's two most powerful conferences, or does it endorse a model that simply expands upon the current setup? We summarize the events of the last week and offer some thoughts on what might happen next.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction2:39 - Summary of the last week of Big Ten and SEC moves36:34 - Our thoughts on the future of the CFPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
