The College Football Playoff Quarterfinals begin tomorrow. For the lone game on New Year's Eve the country will turn its attention to the Cotton Bowl as #10 Miami takes on #2 Ohio State. The meeting is a rematch of a historic national championship game. Times have changed a bit since that meeting, as many of the players in this game had not been born for the previous matchup. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this clash of talent. Could the talent on Miami's roster be enough to keep up with Ohio State, or will the Buckeyes' defense be too much for the Hurricanes to handle? Then, the guys look at the final quarterfinal matchup that they have yet to discuss. #6 Ole Miss takes on #3 Georgia. This is a rematch as well, but this previous matchup was only a couple of months ago. Although the prior matchup was recent, much has changed with one of the programs as Ole Miss now has Pete Golding leading them rather than Lane Kiffin. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what kind of impact that will have on the game and if there is any way that Ole Miss can pull the upset.Then, the crew discusses a bit of college football news as a familiar face returns to the college ranks. Chip Kelly has been hired by Northwestern to be their offensive coordinator. Kelly is coming off of a 2024 national title run with Ohio State followed by a short run with the Las Vegas Raiders in which he was fired mid-season. He was the offensive coordinator on both of those staffs. The guys look at why this is a good hire for Northwestern and what else they need to focus on to be successful.Later, Godfrey asked and the Pop-Tarts Bowl delivered. After Godfrey made it very clear, a few episodes ago, that he wanted one of the care packages the Pop-Tarts Bowl was sending out, a package has arrived. Godfrey unboxes the multiple packages live and it's something you do not want to miss. Check out the show on YouTube or on the Yahoo Sports Network if you want to see what Godfrey got.Get ready for the CFP Quarterfinals with College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Can Miami upset Ohio State?13:30 - Can Ole Miss and Pete Golding handle Georgia?29:20 - Northwestern hires Chip Kelly as OC41:51 - Pop-Tarts Bowl care package unboxing Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

The first round of the College Football Playoff is in the books. Oregon, Ole Miss, Alabama and Miami move on to the quarterfinal matchups on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. While some of the matchups in the first round this season were more competitive than last year, the lop-sided victories over the Group of Five schools, Tulane and James Madison, have sparked debate on whether there should be G5 schools in the CFP. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey have a heated debate on this topic. Ross Dellenger also joins in as the three discuss what changes should be made for future College Football Playoffs. Then, they dive deeper into the matchup that saw Alabama come away victorious. The guys discuss all of the talk, leading up to the game, about Kalen DeBoer and if he would be leaving for Michigan or potentially even fired if he lost this game. They also talk about how Alabama handled their early deficit, in contrast to how they played in the SEC title game, and if the Crimson Tide can make a run.Later, the guys discuss the Michigan coaching search and where it is at. DeBoer appears to be out, especially since he is still in the CFP, and now Michigan's rumored other target is off of the table. Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham has signed an extension to stay with the Sun Devils, eliminating him from the Michigan opening. Biff Poggi is the interim head coach. Is there a chance he could become the permanent choice? Some other ideas are tossed out about a coach with the last name Harbaugh and a coach who just stepped down in Utah. Come get caught up on all things CFP and beyond with College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Recap of the CFP First Round8:38 - Changes the CFP should make32:38 - Alabama comes back to beat Oklahoma46:29 - Update on Michigan's coaching search Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

With roughly three months until the start of the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Team USA's pitching rotation just got a huge bump as they go for their second championship in the tournament.
