The Solid Verbal College Football

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.

In this episode, we react to the breaking news of Sherrone Moore's dismissal from Michigan. What does it mean for the Wolverines, who are the initial candidates, and how might it impact the rest of the coaching carousel? Then, we take a step back and evaluate the coaching carousel moves with our good friend Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports, The Athletic and The Audible podcast. We chat with Bruce around the drama surrounding Lane Kiffin's move to LSU, his biggest surprises during an active cycle, Lincoln Riley rumors, and much more.
