One particular coach working Friday in the NCAA Tournament is probably the NCAA's best defense in the lawsuit. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl faced a similar situation and re-emerged and got a new job even before his NCAA penalties expired. One coach was good at Tennessee and one coach wasn't. That's the difference. Half the Elite Eight is set, and we’ve got four incredible games on Friday. On Thursday, Duke survived a scare from Arizona with an all-timer from freshman Cooper Flagg. The Blue Devils move on to face Alabama, which set an NCAA Tournament record for three-pointers made. Florida wore out Maryland, and the top-seeded Gators will face Texas Tech, which stormed back from a huge deficit to force overtime and then beat Arkansas in the extra period. Friday, we’ve got Kentucky-Tennessee, Ole Miss-Michigan State, Michigan-Auburn and Purdue-Houston. We’re also on Kevin Willard watch. Will he take the Villanova job or stay at Maryland? Meanwhile, college football news keeps coming. Kent State coach Kenni Burns was placed on administrative leave. Next, Andy and Ari answer your questions, including… How good is the Stanford job? Is it possible the College Football Playoff quarterfinals could move to campus? Watch us LIVE, M-F, on YouTube here: https://youtube.com/live/OK_9FpK_CSs Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

As we previewed the Sweet 16 on yesterday's show with Seth Davis, we turn our focus to football recruiting, and we bring on the best person in the nation for it: On3's VP of Recruiting and Transfer Portal, Steve Wiltfong. Andy & Ari pick Steve's brain on where Georgia and Oregon are at with the nation's top QB in Jared Curtis, how USC stacks up on the recruiting trail, and where the turnaround of the Texas Longhorns came from. We also discuss with Steve the teams that could make the jump in this new era of college football. Tomorrow's show is a Dear Andy & Ari show, send in your questions to Andystapleson3@gmail.com Watch us on YouTube, LIVE M-F at 9:30 am et: https://youtube.com/live/74GnXLuzwVY Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

The chalk of the early rounds created some huge matchups. Can Arizona’s Caleb Love shock Duke the way he did as a North Carolina player in the Final Four in 2022, or are the Blue Devils just going to roll into the Elite Eight? Is Michigan-Auburn the sneaky most exciting game of the round? Kentucky has beaten Tennessee twice as an underdog. Can the Wildcats do it a third time, or will the Volunteers get a chance to keep chasing that elusive first Final Four appearance? Plus, Stanford general manager Andrew Luck fired football coach Troy Taylor on Tuesday. Also, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy thinks Bedlam should be revived as a spring game. Watch us LIVE on YouTube, M-F, at 9:30 am et! https://youtube.com/live/MviowMNKd_0 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

How much pressure is Kalen DeBoer under in year two. Andy and Ari also ask Paul how much existential damage it might do to the Kentucky fanbase if John Calipari’s Arkansas team lasts longer in the NCAA Tournament than the Wildcats.  Watch us Live on YouTube, M-F, at 9:30 am et! https://youtube.com/live/1WyW_CEtKU8 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Maryland’s Derik Queen called bank and called game to beat Colorado State and move on to the Sweet 16. But that wasn’t the only buzzer-beater Sunday that mattered. UConn nailed a shot as the buzzer sounded that didn’t help the Huskies at all, but it crushed Ari. The Terrapins advancing also makes the situation involving coach Kevin Willard more interesting. Villanova wants a coach, and Willard might be a candidate. Maryland wants to keep Willard, and the price keeps going up as he keeps winning. This leads to a discussion of football coaches who exercised similar leverage when they did their deals. Now these coaches are under pressure.

State job. Wade’s players didn’t seem to mind, either. Is this how coaches should handle job questions in the new era? John Calipari’s Arkansas team beat Bill Self’s Kansas to set up a round two matchup against Rick Pitino and St. John’s. Meanwhile, Ari spent Thursday in Las Vegas sweating free throws and late-game drama. Did he survive? Will he make the show? Friday brings 16 more games. Where will the upsets come? Colorado State is a No. 12 seed but is a 1.5-point favorite against Memphis. No. 11 seed North Carolina is a 1.5-point favorite against No. 6 seed Ole Miss. Watch us on YouTube instead, LIVE M-F: https://youtube.com/live/WeawKTqtoAc Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Can Marcel Reed and a revamped group of skill position players get the Aggies there? And what happens everywhere else if they do? Plus, Ari has made his predictions for the biggest quarterback battles of the offseason. How accurate will he be?  Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/RZ5GV5i9xMc Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Andystapleson3@gmail.com(1:18:16-1:24:58) Conclusion: Ari and the Food Court Platter Dabo Swinney said on Tuesday that Clemson will not go with the crowd and cancel its spring game. The Tigers will play one, even if a lot of other schools are cancelling or modifying theirs. Swinney said a spring game won't increase tampering with his players (it'll happen anyway). So why are so many other coaches so worried? Andy has some thoughts. Earlier this week, Ari unveiled what he believes will be the biggest storylines of the 2025 season. But what will be the BIGGEST story of the year? Arch Manning taking over as QB1 at Texas? Will Oklahoma be back? Can Ohio State overcome its Michigan problem? Andy has a few suggestions as well…  Watch us on YouTube! https://youtube.com/live/6bwP-S4zqa4 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

It sure seems like Clemson and Florida State (and North Carolina and Miami). The ACC has a set a sliding scale of buyout costs should a school want to leave the league, and the number gets very manageable just as the Big Ten’s current TV deal expires. Does this mean there is an expiration date on this version of the ACC? Lastly, Andy & Ari discuss Duke phenom Cooper Flagg and if he should consider staying another year in Durham.  Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/CMZCCQcmN7s Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Andystapleson3@gmail.com Georgia football coach Kirby Smart helped keep the school from getting fined by asking students to wait to storm the floor after the Bulldogs beat Florida in basketball. Ari covered the College Football Playoff meeting Tuesday, and he came away frustrated that no one will just say what they’re doing or what they’d prefer. The ACC and Big 12 commissioners said they needed to run the numbers to determine how they might vote on the seeding rules for the 2025 season. Andy ran the numbers Tuesday night, and the answer seems pretty clear as to what those two leagues in particular should do. As the NFL combine ramps up, news emerged that former Texas QB Quinn Ewers is prepared to throw for scouts. Ewers was dealing with an oblique injury for most of the season. Watch us on YouTube! https://youtube.com/live/2gTV1DR6brk Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

This is apparently standard procedure for Wisconsin across multiple sports, but the question is why? Why bid against yourself for a coach no one else is trying to hire when your money would be better spent buying better players? Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/qjSgLoxjRVs Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, who has tried for years to stop court/field storming, isn’t ready to go that far, but he said the idea has support. Does anything need to be done about court and field storming? And if penalties do get more severe, is reversing the result a viable solution? Plus, Ari reveals his potential breakout teams for 2025. Florida, Illinois, Iowa State, Louisville and LSU fans will want to tune in. Finally, our Friday Grabass segment features Ari taking a very basic high school government test. Will he pass? Judging by the conversation earlier this week when Jim Tressel was named lieutenant governor of Ohio, he might not. Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/UaWy-gz_O70 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River BaileySpecial thanks to Nick Winstead for providing the Civics Test

Patricia, a longtime Bill Belichick consigliere, must replace former DC Jim Knowles and nine starters. Can he keep the Silver Bullets dominant, or will they take a step back? Next, Andy and Ari break down Ari’s clash with Brad from Macon on Wednesday’s edition of the Paul Finebaum Show. Brad thinks Ari is a Big Ten-loving homer who doesn’t respect the challenge of an SEC schedule. It was a battle for the ages. Later, Andy and Ari answer viewer questions… — What is the saucier take (Using Wendy’s sauce flavors): The Big Ten gets five teams in the playoff next year or the SEC only get three teams in again? — Any less confidence in the Florida over 6.5 wins with Billy Napier as playcaller? — Take one 2024 transfer player and put them back to their original team.

Oregon has been on an upward trajectory since coach Dan Lanning arrived. The Ducks were the best team in the country in the regular season in 2024, but they got buzzsawed by Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. So what does Oregon need to do to keep the momentum? Is it as simple as winning in the College Football Playoff? What is the next big step? Later, Ari and Andy break down Ari’s list of potential 2025 breakout players. It includes Michigan QB Bryce Underwood, Texas RB C.J. Baxter and Ohio State QB Julian Sayin.  Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/QcYg3Ijd7wo Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

A return to nine would cash a ticket, but it probably wouldn’t satisfy most LSU fans. That group craves a return to the College Football Playoff, and Kelly came to Baton Rouge from Notre Dame with the expectation that he’d have the team competing for national titles. Is this the year he does that? And what happens if it isn’t? The Tigers were aggressive in the transfer portal, and they return one of the nation’s best quarterbacks in Garrett Nussmeier. This feels like a pivotal season. Later, Andy and Ari break down Andy’s list of the most impactful coordinator moves. A slow head-coaching market meant a more robust group of coordinator openings, and how some of these hires fare likely will determine how the head coach carousel looks in 10 months. Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/DQ4XnToemM8 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

We joked when Philly picked a bunch of former Georgia defenders that GM Howie Roseman was trying to create North Athens, and he got results similar to the 2021 and 2022 Georgia national championship teams that he took those players from. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl champ. It’s a well deserved achievement for a quarterback who had a wild college career and has been doubted pretty much every step of the way. Later, Andy and Ari break down more 2025 preseason win totals. That 9.5 for Texas looks pretty juicy. The 9.5 for Tennessee probably requires a deeper dive.

They caught up with former Ole Miss and Texas A&M defensive tackle Walter Nolan to talk about a potentially huge week for the former five-star recruit.

Should Colorado be worried? If Coach Prime got an NFL job, would it even be possible for him to wind up with the team that lands his son Shedeur? Or is this all a plot to drive YouTube numbers (for shows like ours; Coach Prime’s numbers are great as-is) and give the morning debate shows something to talk about?   Miami coach Mario Cristobal finally explained the second half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Monday. Had he said in his postgame press conference what he said Monday, it probably would have kept Cam Ward’s name from getting dragged for two weeks by people who don’t understand how football works.   Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are returning to Penn State, which is going to run for a lot of yards next season.   Finally, we revisit Andy’s 2024 season predictions from July to see just how badly he missed.

He made it sound as if a fairly small minority of fans held that sentiment. Ari doesn’t think that’s true, and it got Andy thinking about all the examples of the times the people who bring us the games on TV didn’t quite understand the feelings of the common fan.  Plus, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! We’re going to have bowl games every day, and we’ll have a full weekend of college football on Friday and Saturday.

Andystapleson3@gmail.com  It’s a Wednesday’s saucy take Wednesday, and you’ll have to decide whether Andy, Ari or River has the sauciest take. But first, there is news… Ohio State center Seth McLaughlin injured his achilles tendon Tuesday at practice. This is devastating news, because McLaughlin had been the anchor of the Buckeyes’ line after transferring this offseason from Alabama. How will the injury affect Ohio State against Indiana on Saturday? Also, Oregon is heading to the Big Ten title game. The league announced that on Tuesday afternoon because apparently no one bothered to check after Saturday’s games whether the Ducks had clinched. Speaking of Indiana, Ari wants to know if fans without a team on the bubble really want Indiana in the College Football Playoff. Or would they rather have Tennessee, Texas A&M or another SEC school? Plus, the CFP selection committee released its ranking Tuesday night, and Boise State is in a position to get a bye while the Big 12 champ is potentially headed for the No. 12 seed. Now it’s time for saucy takes… Ari thinks conference expansion has messed up everyone’s schedule… Producer River thinks Arizona State is winning the Big 12… Andy says Nebraska IS getting bowl eligible on Saturday. Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/nKssSJYSLzo Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Andy and Ari are picking the games of week 13 against the spread, but first there’s some news. Wisconsin fired offensive coordinator Phil Longo a day after the Badgers took Oregon to the wire. Does this mean Luke Fickell wants to go back to Wisconsin’s offensive roots? Or does he just want a different version of what he envisioned when he hired Longo? Now it’s time to pick some games. Indiana-Ohio State is the headliner, which still sounds strange to say out loud. Meanwhile, Kansas-Colorado and BYU-Arizona State will shape the Big 12 title race. And that Texas A&M-Auburn line looks very, very interesting.  Indiana at Ohio State (-11.5) Total: 52.5  Ole Miss at Florida (-9.5) Total: 55.5  Colorado at Kansas (+2.5) Total: 59.5  BYU at Arizona State (-3.5) Total: 48.5  Kentucky at Texas (-20.5) Total: 46.5  Wisconsin at Nebraska (-2.5) Total: 42.5  Penn State at Minnesota (+12.5) Total: 45.5  Army vs. Notre Dame (-15.5) Total: 44.5  Iowa at Maryland (+6.5) Total: 45.5  Texas A&M at Auburn (+2.5) Total: 46.5  USC at UCLA (+4.5) Total: 51.5 Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/OOlfWtp4VHk Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

There are now six SEC teams (Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M) that could finish the season at 10-2 or better. They probably won’t all make the CFP. Meanwhile, Oregon survived a scare at Wisconsin. The Badgers led for much of the night, but the Ducks took the lead late and hung on to win. In other Big Ten news, Indiana signed coach Curt Cignetti to a new contract. In the Big 12, Colorado pulled away from Utah to move to 8-2 overall and 6-1 in Big 12 play. Meanwhile, Arizona State won at Kansas State to set up a huge matchup with BYU next week.   In the ACC, SMU stayed undefeated in conference play by beating Boston College. Clemson kept its slim conference title hopes alive with a narrow win at Pittsburgh.Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/pmfnEy5G6tIHosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

How much does it change the outlook for the game if Iamaleava is limited or can’t play? Also, Florida QB D.J. Lagway was listed as questionable for the LSU game, and Missouri QB Brady Cook was listed as doubtful for the South Carolina game. Boston College QB Thomas Castellanos said he intends to enter the transfer portal. Castellanos was benched in favor of Grayson James during last week’s win against Syracuse, and coach Bill O’Brien named James the starter for Saturday’s game against SMU. Now it’s time to answer your questions… How does the Big Ten TV contract actually work? Could the race to make the SEC title game still come down to a random draw? Could 11-1 Indiana be left out of the College Football Playoff? Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/y1kIsvxXOTc Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

He’ll call the offensive plays for the Cornhuskers the rest of season, and Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said he hopes Holgorsen sticks around for next season. A reporter asked Kentucky coach Mark Stoops if he planned to step down after the season. Stoops was not amused. With the College Football Playoff ranking reveal coming Tuesday night, producer River asks a great CFP question: What if Notre Dame’s loss to Northern Illinois had come in week 12 instead of week two? Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/kAwwyHduHUk Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

It’s time to pick the games of week 12, and there’s a monster in Athens between Tennessee and Georgia. But first, there’s news.Florida State fired both coordinators on Sunday, a move that likely will become familiar over the next few weeks. The Seminoles weren’t paying the $70 million or so it would cost to fire Mike Norvell, so they fired OC Alex Atkins and DC Adam Fuller. Expect this to happen a lot, because there are some prohibitive head coach buyouts and fans still want something to change. Next, it’s time to pick these games…  UCLA at Washington (-3.5) Total: 45.5 Texas at Arkansas (+16.5) Total: 56.5 Clemson at Pittsburgh (+9.5) Total: 55.5 Utah at Colorado (-10.5) Total: 47.5 LSU at Florida (+4.5) Total: 55.5 Missouri at South Carolina (-13.5) Total: 43.5 Virginia at Notre Dame (-22.5) Total: 50.5 Tennessee at Georgia (-8.5) Total: 48.5 Nebraska at USC (-8.5) Total: 50.5 Oregon at Wisconsin (+14.5) Total: 52.5 Kansas at BYU (-3.5) Total: 55.5 Watch us on Youtube instead! https://youtube.com/live/EHTMvOxP9BE Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Doug thinks the SEC stinks, and he’s convinced that this is the year northern teams prove NIL and the transfer portal have shifted the balance of power away from southern teams. Andy tries to claim BYU for the south, but Doug shuts him down. Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

He also explains to Andy that even though Andy and Ari has climbed the podcast charts, it still has a long way to go before it can challenge the king. Big Cat also helps Andy determine the Reverse Harbaugh. What’s that? It’s the program that can say “Who’s got it worse than us? Noooooo-body.” Meanwhile, Texas minister of culture Matthew McConaughey sent a message to Longhorns fans to stop throwing bottles — even if it does make the officials reconsider their blown call. Elsewhere, Brent Venables named Jackson Arnold the starting QB for Saturday’s visit to Ole Miss.   Also, UConn’s Jim Mora blasted the refs in a way only a coach whose team isn’t in a conference can.   Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Did Steve Sarkisian panic by pulling Quinn Ewers in the second quarter (only to bring him back in the third)? Indiana crushed Nebraska by 49 points. Are we sure the Hoosiers aren’t a legitimate Big Ten title contender? Tennessee beat Alabama after its offense woke up in the second half? Can this Tennessee beat anyone, or is Alabama just that down? Plus… Illinois whips Michigan. USC collapses at Maryland. Oklahoma is helpless against South Carolina. LSU dominates Arkansas. Miami escapes Louisville. Army and Navy continue their march toward an epic clash. Notre Dame started slow and then played a great second half to beat Georgia Tech. BYU stayed undefeated Friday with an incredible comeback against Oklahoma State. Iowa State stayed undefeated Saturday with an incredible comeback against UCF. Colorado stayed in the Big 12 race by creaming Arizona. Kansas State crushed West Virginia in Morgantown. Clemson handled Virginia. D.J. Lagway was spectacular as Florida beat Kentucky.    Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

The NCAA’s coordinator of officials said Tuesday that officials will get the latitude to put time back on the clock if a defense intentionally uses too many players in order to draw a flag.   Next, Indiana coach Curt Cignetti joins the show to discuss how he turned the Hoosiers into a 6-0 team that has yet to even trail in a game this season. Indiana plays Nebraska on Saturday in its toughest game yet. Cignetti explains what kind of players he looked for in the transfer portal when he took the job (because Indiana’s best remaining players hit the portal immediately). He also warns against putting artificial limitations on a program. Next, it’s time for saucy takes. Ari is in the kitchen this week, and Andy will judge which take is the sauciest from takes on the following three topics: Oregon coach Dan Lanning The Big Ten and the SEC in the CFP What we learned in the fallout from the Oregon-Ohio State gameWatch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/vTf4EpNGWrk Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Utes coach Kyle Whittingham was noncommittal about an eighth season for Rising. Also, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy got head-butted by a cow. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said officials should have flagged Georgia coach Kirby Smart for bumping Mississippi State’s quarterback on the sideline. Next, Nick Roush of On3’s Kentucky Sports Radio joins to discuss one of the weirdest teams in college football. Kentucky has won at Ole Miss and pushed Georgia to the brink. Kentucky also has gotten smashed by South Carolina and lost to Vanderbilt at home. Mark Stoops says he’s fed up. So which team shows up when the Wildcats play at Florida this weekend? Later, Andy and Ari discuss Oregon coach Lanning’s admission that he purposely put 12 players on the field late in the game against Ohio State in order to drain seconds off the clock. Former Philadelphia Eagles coach Buddy Ryan also exploited this loophole in the 90s. Finally, Andy and Ari review the fried food they ate at the State Fair of Texas. Watch the show on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/Fz3Tv3e3BPQ Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Andy and Ari break down Andy’s column on when to make that decision and when to keep playing. A federal judge has preliminarily approved the House v. NCAA settlement. If it goes through, it will allow schools to pay players directly starting next year. Ari has angered the entire Oklahoma fanbase. What did he say to make the Sooners so mad? Speaking of the Red River Shootout, Steve Sarkisian has handled his quarterback situation about as well as possible. Does he understand something other coaches don’t, or is he blessed with a unique set of circumstances? Meanwhile, on the other side of the rivalry, Brent Venables has handled a different kind of QB situation just as decisively. Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/Jx_D4jH3TEw Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Has a new coach’s honeymoon ever ended so abruptly? And is this the biggest win in Vandy football history?

Would 2024 freshman Walker White or Knight be able to be QB1 next year? Does this mean the C.J. Carr era begins at Notre Dame in 2025?

This time it's USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander, who decided to leave the team after playing only 21 snaps in last week's loss at Michigan. Plus, Andy and Ari examine the fallout from UNLV QB Matthew Sluka leaving the team over an NIL dispute. We’ve now heard multiple sides of the story. Does that change Andy or Ari’s opinion on the matter? Meanwhile, Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy is exploring the idea of funding Michigan’s quarterback signee each year. (He may be kidding, but this is the sort of thing Portnoy would actually do.) What school’s QB recruiting efforts could Andy and Ari On3 reasonably fund? The guys also pick the Kentucky-Ole Miss game and the Minnesota-Michigan game against the spread. Plus, it’s a Prizepicks Preview of the Virginia Tech-Miami game. Next, it’s time for your questions… Who was the last active coach to beat Georgia? If only five of Tennessee, Georgia, Bama, Ole Miss, Texas, LSU and Notre Dame can make the College Football Playoff, which ones will it be? How did Ari manage to formulate THAT food take?Watch us LIVE on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/cYoGLwHVlp0 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

The Holy Cross transfer claims certain promises were unfulfilled, so he's going to redshirt and transfer somewhere else for next year. We don't yet know both sides of this story, but be sure this won't be the last time this happens. The Pac-12 sued the Mountain West in federal court on Tuesday claiming the “poaching fee” included in the leagues’ scheduling agreement violates antitrust law. The fees would cost the league $55 million since it has already poached five Mountain West schools. Next, Andy and Ari pick the Kentucky-Ole Miss (-17.5) and Minnesota-Michigan (-9.5). Now it’s time for Andy’s blazing takes… Installing Michael Hawkins Jr. as QB1 will be the defining moment of Brent Venables’ Oklahoma tenure… Jalen Milroe will have his Heisman moment against Georgia People will throw their remotes at their TVs and then sign up for Peacock as the Louisville-Notre Dame game goes down to the wire. Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

This time, it’s his assertion that if Auburn and Arkansas played nine more times, Auburn would win nine times. Ari went off on Freeze throwing his quarterbacks under the bus after the Arkansas game. This new statement might set him off more. There’s also a good, old-fashioned western standoff between two west coast conferences. The Pac-12 grabbed Utah State from the Mountain West, leaving both leagues at seven. Both need to be at eight to be eligible for NCAA basketball tournament shares, so the race is on. Memphis, USF, Tulane and UTSA all said Monday that they intend to stay in the American Athletic Conference. Next, it’s your Georgia-Alabama preview presented by Prizepicks. Andy and Ari study the Prizepicks squares to decide which will best determine the outcome of the game. Then it’s time to talk quarterback strategy. Andy wrote a column on Monday suggesting coaches may need to rethink how they handle their QB room management when they have a highly touted youngster and a proven veteran with only one more year of eligibility. Do they need to start paying up to keep the old guy?  Want to watch the show instead?

Michigan scored on fourth-and-goal with 37 seconds remaining to clinch a 27-24 thriller against USC. Michigan controlled the first half. USC controlled most of the second. But the Wolverines mounted one more drive when it counted and scored on fourth-and-goal. Andy Staples breaks down Michigan's win and what it means for both teams.

After hearing Mark Stoops’ explanation for punting from the Georgia 48-yard line late in Kentucky’s 13-12 loss, Ari is even madder about the decision. Andy, however, has re-examined his initial thoughts through the lens of analytics and now finds himself on Team Stoops. Meanwhile, Michigan coach Sherrone Moore is doing the thing Andy said on Monday’s show that he had to do. The Wolverines will start Alex Orji at quarterback, meaning Michigan will be run-heavy against USC. This is Michigan’s only chance to compete with the better opponents on its schedule. That doesn’t mean it’s going to work, though. Later, the guys discuss Tennessee coach Josh Heupel’s return to Oklahoma. Andy has a question: Did getting fired at Oklahoma have to happen to make Heupel the coach he is today?Want to watch the show instead?

(Which didn’t seem so disastrous in person.)Florida may have to start freshman QB D.J. Lagway on Saturday, and Lagway may be Napier’s last chance to save his job. Want to watch the show instead?

Will Boise State, Appalachian State or Memphis make the bracket? Or could a more surprising team like USF or UTSA make a move?

It didn’t work, and the assistant resigned earlier this month. Later, Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy joins Andy to discuss the sheer depth of talent in college football this season. Because of the COVID year and NIL, more players have stayed in school longer. That has created a surplus of NFL-quality players. Nagy turns his scout’s eye on: Penn State QB Drew Allar Georgia WR Dillon Bell Florida State DT Darrell Jackson Jr. And more… Want to watch the show instead?

Yes, it could get very messy. It also could ultimately come down to a drawing of the tied teams. Andy breaks down everything between “head to head” and “rock, paper, scissors.” Nebraska coach Matt Rhule has named freshman Dylan Raiola his starting quarterback. The hype train is going to be zooming down the track in Lincoln.Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin offered his thoughts on full-calorie soda at the expense of a sponsor, and LSU coach Brian Kelly showed how the selling-stuff game is played. Now it’s time for Dear Andy, where your questions drive the show… Has Tennessee coach Josh Heupel ascended to a new level of recruiter? Which QB is under more pressure — Penn State’s Drew Allar or Clemson’s Cade Klubnik? What constitutes success for Miami this season?Want to watch the show instead?

How deep is the defense?Later, Ben Garrett of On3’s OM Spirit drops by to talk about who has made the best impression during Ole Miss preseason practice.

Last year’s On3 Quarterback Fantasy Draft was so easy. Whoever won the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors would to take USC’s Caleb Williams, and we’d be off to the races. And that’s exactly what happened. Jesse Simonton’s paper beat Andy’s rock, and Jesse grabbed the defending Heisman Trophy winner.This year? We struggled to make our first choices.(0:00-1:20) Intro(1:21-4:08) Jesse Simonton joins, recap last year's choices(4:09-5:38) Alabama QB Jalen Milroe(5:39-7:26) Liberty QB Kaidon Salter(7:27-8:48) Rhoback Ad(8:49-11:00) Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel(11:01-14:13) Miami QB Cam Ward(14:14-16:07) Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart(16:08-17:29) USF QB Byrum Brown(17:30-21:03) Kansas State QB Avery Johnson(21:04-23:34) Georgia QB Carson Beck(23:35-25:14) Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders(25:15-29:49) Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava(29:50-32:34) Arizona QB Noah Fifita(32:35-36:23) Ohio State QB Will Howard(36:24-38:27) LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier(38:28-39:59) Texas State QB Jordan McCloud(40:00-42:09) Texas QB Quinn Ewers(42:10-43:59) West Virginia QB Garrett Greene(44:00-46:11) Missouri QB Brady Cook(46:12-48:05) Kansas QB Jalon Daniels(48:06-51:09) Memphis QB Seth Henigan(51:10-51:59) Oklahoma QB Jackson Arnold(52:00-1:00:35) QB's Not Taken(1:00:36-1:02:03) ConclusionBut if last year’s QB draft taught us anything, it’s that the picks in the back half of the draft will determine the winner. Andy wiped the floor with Jesse last year mostly because of two players: No. 5 pick Jayden Daniels and No. 9 pick Dillon Gabriel. They were the two most productive players using this scoring system. Passing touchdown: Six pointsEvery 25 yards passing: One pointRushing touchdown: Six pointsEvery 10 yards rushing: One pointInterception thrown: Minus-2 pointsFumble lost: Minus-2 pointsPick-six thrown: Minus-6 pointsThe scoring system rewards the dual threat QBs who can score on the ground, and we definitely took that into account making our selections this year. Unlike last year, nothing was obvious. And we won’t find out until the games begin whether we used the correct drafting strategy or we overthought the whole thingWant to watch the show instead?

The Associated Press poll is out, and of course it will not accurately predict the final rankings for the season — or the final College Football Playoff rankings. But if it did, we’d be getting Penn State at Alabama in round one and Michigan at Texas three months after Texas played at Michigan.Yeah, we’d take that.(0:00-0:28) Intro(0:28-21:11) College Football Playoff based on AP Poll's History(21:12-43:26) Tim Watts from Bama Online joins to provide the latest on the Crimson Tide(43:27-46:46) Furthering the CFP Discussion(46:47-1:11:26) Sean Callahan joins to dive deeper into the Nebraska Cornhuskers(1:11:27-1:13:40) Conclusion; QB Draft Tomorrow, Dear Andy Thursday!Next, Tim Watts of On3’s Bama Online joins Andy to discuss what a Kalen DeBoer offense built around Jalen Milroe might look like.

Texas A&M tailback Rueben Owens will miss the entire 2024 season after suffering an injury during the weekend. Meanwhile, there might be a quarterback controversy at Iowa. Northwestern transfer Brendan Sullivan might challenge Cade McNamara for the starting job.Colorado coach Deion Sanders held a bizarre press conference Friday that included shutting out the local CBS affiliate for, um, reasons and a random question about Aflac that felt like a plant. Sanders doesn’t sound ultra confident after a week of practice, but Andy explains why he wants unhinged press conferences the rest of the way from Coach Prime.Next, Jake Rowe of On3’s Dawgs HQ talks Georgia following the first major scrimmage of the preseason. How is the receiver depth after the dismissal of RaRa Thomas? Which tight end(s) will wind up getting the touches that used to go to Brock Bowers?Later, Spencer Holbrook of On3’s Lettermen Row talks Ohio State after the Buckeyes’ first major preseason scrimmage. Kansas State transfer Will Howard looks like he’s got a grip on QB1. Meanwhile, Ryan Day keeps demurring when asked about freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith.

The NCAA has dropped the hammer on Jim Harbaugh. Not that he cares, because he’s coaching in the NFL now.

That one remains ongoing. Does Harbaugh care? Probably not. Does anyone at Michigan care? Probably not anymore. Are Ohio State fans still mad? You betcha.Andy also examines the Darts Only phenomenon that has taken over the college football Internet after Colorado’s official Twitter account posted an oddly edited throw. What followed was hilarious, and the videos are still coming.Next, it’s time for Dear Andy, and you have some great questions.

“Stanford Steve” Coughlin of ESPN’s College GameDay joins Andy to talk win totals. But first, we’ve got a preseason poll!The first coaches poll is out. Georgia is No. 1, Ohio State is No. 2, and everyone disagrees with pretty much every other team’s placement. Now seems like a good time for Andy’s annual rant about why we have preseason polls and why they’re never going away.Monday also brought bad news out of South Bend. Notre Dame left tackle Charles Jagusah tore his right pec muscle at practice during the weekend and will have to miss the season. That’s a massive blow, because the Fighting Irish had chosen Jagusah to replace first-round draft pick Joe Alt, and the redshirt freshman seemed on the verge of a breakout season.Next, it’s time for win totals with Stanford Steve. We had so many to talk about that we broke the conversation into two parts. (Part two will be on Wednesday’s show.) Today, Andy and Steve discuss…Notre Dame (10.5 wins)Miami (9.5 wins)Florida (4.5 wins)Indiana (5.5 wins)USC (7.5 wins)Oklahoma (7.5 wins)We wrap up with what the College Football Playoff would look like if it was reflective to the Pre-Season Coaches PollWant to watch the show instead?

We start with a visit from On3’s Pete Nakos to help translate the House v. NCAA settlement — which was submitted late last week to a federal court for review — into plain English.

This time last year, Dannen was Tulane’s AD. Soon after, he was hired by Washington. While there, he worked on the Huskies’ transition to the Big Ten and had to replace a football coach when Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama. Then Trev Alberts left Nebraska for the Texas A&M AD job and Dannen was hired at Nebraska. Now he’s working on a 17-item action agenda handed to him by football coach Matt Rhule.Later, Andy talks to Wisconsin’s Jack Nelson, who is living a childhood dream as the Badgers’ left tackle.

Michigan visited Big Ten Media Days on Thursday and offered a reminder that while the Wolverines lost a lot of great players to the NFL, the cupboard isn’t bare.One potential breakout star is Donovan Edwards, who struggled through a disappointing 2023 season before exploding for 104 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries in the national title game win against Washington.Edwards talked Thursday about how he got through last season and how much he’s grown ahead of this season.Next, Andy breaks down Oregon coach Dan Lanning’s discussion of recruiting. Oregon has a big NIL war chest, but not an unlimited one. But does it bother Lanning that his recruiting success is credited to NIL deals when recruiting wins at Georgia or Ohio State are credited differently?After that, Oregon linebacker Jeffrey Bassa discusses the huge expectations for the Ducks.Then we look at the other side of the Oregon-Washington rivalry as new Huskies coach Jedd Fisch joins Andy to talk about rebuilding a team that won’t look anything like the one that played for a national title.Andy is then joined by another first-year coach — Indiana’s Curt Cignetti. Cignetti won big at James Madison, and he’s loaded the Hoosiers’ roster with veteran transfers who played well at the Group of 5 level. Will that method produce a quick start at a place not known for winning football?Want to watch the show instead? Join us M-F, LIVE, at 8 am et on YouTube!Host: Andy StaplesProducer: River Bailey

Franklin also weighs in a classic Pennsylvania debate: Sheetz or Wawa?New UCLA coach DeShaun Foster’s opening statement got panned by the Internet, but the Internet should have listened to how Foster answered the questions he got about taking over the Bruins under less-than-ideal circumstances. Foster joined Andy to talk about replacing Chip Kelly and about how he reshaping UCLA’s recruiting operation.Next, Andy breaks down some of USC coach Lincoln Riley’s answers at media days. Riley says USC is still playing catch-up, which probably isn’t satisfying to hear as year three begins. But if Riley is right about the defense getting better under new coordinator D’Anton Lynn, then there should be reason for excitement.Later, Andy talks to Nebraska center Ben Scott and defensive tackle Ty Robinson about being huge.Finally, Andy sits down with John Canzano (JohnCanzano.com (http://JohnCanzano.com)) to break down how the Big Ten became this new version of itself.Want to watch the show instead?

Spencer also talks about the new dynamics as Day cedes offensive control to new coordinator Chip Kelly. Plus, how long will it be before Kansas State transfer Will Howard is named QB1?Later, Geoff Schwartz of SiriusXM joins Andy to discuss the new Big Ten. Geoff played at Oregon and is still getting used to being a Big Ten legend, but he has a lot of thoughts about Ohio State and its quest for a title and about why USC has not lived up to some lofty expectations in the early part of the Lincoln Riley era. Can the Trojans make a splash in year one in the Big Ten?Finally, Illinois coach Bret Bielema talks about his Iowa tattoo, because no Big Ten media days would be complete without the story.Want to watch the show instead?

Kentucky defensive lineman Deone Walker is one of the most intriguing players in college football.

Did coach Mark Stoops’ flirtation with the Texas A&M job alter the expectations this season? Also, Nick believes this team looks similar in makeup to the 2018 group that went 10-3.Later, Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com joins Andy to talk Texas A&M. The Aggies are one of the more fascinating teams in the SEC. They just made a coaching change, but because of Mike Elko’s recent experience in College Station, he doesn’t feel like a first-year head coach there. After inheriting a roster that still has some serious talent following Jimbo Fisher’s firing, can Texas A&M pull off some surprises in 2024?Want to watch the show instead?

PicKell break down what Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said as the Rebels prepare for perhaps the most-hyped season in program history. Ole Miss went 11-2 last season and then seriously upgraded the roster in the transfer portal. Will that be good enough to make the College Football Playoff and/or compete for the SEC title? New ESPN commentator Nick Saban seems to think so, but Kiffin thinks all this offseason praise is -- to use a Sabanism -- at poison.Andy and J.D. also discuss J.D.'s interview with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Is it finally time for J.D. to put the Gumbo Gunslinger nickname to rest, or does Nussmeier like it?Next, former LSU center and current Baton Rouge radio host T-Bob Hebert joins Andy to talk Tigers. How will LSU use linebacker Harold Perkins Jr.? And can the Tigers get better on defense after completely retooling the coaching staff on that side of the ball?Host: Andy StaplesGuest: JD PicKellProducers: River Bailey, Trey Yanity

Sanders essentially said he’s held to a higher standard than other coaches. But is he really? Andy explains.Sanders also seemed genuinely excited for this version of the Buffaloes. He’s confident they’ll be better than 4-8, and he explained why.Later, Andy breaks down Baylor coach Dave Aranda’s blunt assessment that the Bears are recruiting better because they are “paying players.”Next, it’s time for Dear Andy. You asked some great questions, including…Should the ACC get an automatic College Football Playoff bid if it loses Florida State and Clemson?Can Florida be better and that not reflect in the Gators’ record because of the difficulty of the schedule?Should a school pay its coach and AD less and send the difference to pay players?And much more…Want to watch the show instead?

The Oklahoma State coach appeared at Big 12 Media Days on Tuesday and explained why he’s not suspending star tailback Ollie Gordon following Gordon’s recent arrest on a charge of driving under the influence. Gundy did some beer math live on ESPN and the backlash came understandably quickly.Gundy has never worried too much about what anyone else thinks, and Andy wonders if Gundy has reached a point where he’s essentially in “screw it” mode. Andy also explains why the current state of things has put Gundy in a place where he can feel that way.Next, Pete joins the show to talk about Arch Manning’s EA Sports College Football 25 okey-doke. Plus, Andy and Pete break down some of the more interesting tidbits from Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark’s press conference at media days.Later, Andy examines more of what we learned at Big 12 Media Days, including the fact that Kansas State QB Avery Johnson doesn’t think the video game got his magnificent hair correct.

Oregon got a commitment on July 4 from Duncanville, Texas, receiver Dakorien Moore, who is the highest ranked player to ever commit to the Ducks. He’s the type of player Oregon didn’t typically land before, but the Ducks’ 2025 class might wind up including the top-ranked or second-ranked (or both) player in the country at multiple positions.(0:00-2:50) Intro(2:51-9:06) Dakorien Moore Commits to Oregon(9:07-11:36) Remembering Khyree Jackson(11:37-13:27) Nebraska Coaching Staff Shuffle(13:28-17:40) Rest of the Week(17:41-43:59) Justin Hopkins from ScoopDuck joins(44:00-1:01:47) New Blood or Blue Blood Discussion(1:01:48-1:05:08) Conclusion, Recapping 4th of July WeekendJustin Hopkins of On3’s Scoop Duck joins Andy to discuss how Oregon has enhanced an already effective roster-building operation under coach Dan Lanning. Andy also wonders if Justin was correct last week when he wrote that Oregon isn’t a blueblood program yet but seems headed there. Andy wonders if the Ducks have possibly already crossed that threshold.More from Justin Hopkins and ScoopDuck here: https://www.on3.com/teams/oregon-ducks/Justin also shares memories of former Oregon and Alabama cornerback Khyree Jackson, the Minnesota Vikings rookie who died in a car crash this past weekend.Later, Andy builds on that blueblood conversation.

EA Sports didn’t have Tennessee in its top 25 on offense or defense, but where should the Volunteers actually fall? (Andy and Jesse will remind game-makers that James Pearce Jr. is a person who exists.) Is Colorado really going to be as good on each side of the ball as the video game rankings suggest?Also, will LSU and USC improve enough on defense in real life to be among the top 25 units? Because if they are, then those programs might be looking at College Football Playoff berths.Want to watch the show instead?

The NCAA Division I Council is meeting Tuesday and Wednesday, and it is expected to pass a change that would lift the cap on on-field coaches. That cap currently is 10 assistants. If the change goes through, it could start a mini-coaching carousel as teams either promote analysts to on-field positions or hire extra coaches.Later, On3’s Steve Wiltfong joins Andy to discuss a busy week in the world of recruiting. USC recently lost two high-ranked defensive recruits for the class of 2025. One, edge rusher Isaiah Gibson, committed to Georgia Monday night? Could defensive lineman Justus Terry join Gibson soon? Meanwhile, quarterback JuJu Lewis — another USC commit — visited Colorado this past weekend.Alabama is on a recruiting hot streak as well. Meanwhile, Michigan has gone on a run in the past few weeks. Plus, the class of 2026 QB dominoes have started to fall.Want to watch the show instead?

Should the Big 12 sell its name? Or should it sell a piece of itself? Or both? Those are the questions Andy and On3’s Pete Nakos discuss after news that the league is considering selling its naming rights to Allstate and that the league is considering selling a piece of itself to a foreign private equity firm in exchange for a cash infusion.Pete also discusses the congressional bill that will attempt to declare college athletes aren’t employees. The bill passed through a House committee on Thursday and will reach the floor during this session. Does it have any chance of passing? Or will it languish like all the other bills drafted on this subject? Next, Andy digs into the EA Sports gameplay deep dive video to share more information from his visit to EA Sports last month to play the new college football video game. The deep dive revealed a little more of what game designers discussed in the abstract during Andy’s trip.Subscribe to On3! ⬇️ youtube.com/on3sports/?sub_confirmati...Welcome to On3 | The best of college football and recruiting https://www.on3.com/Follow Andy Staples on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Andy_StaplesFollow Andy Staples on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andy_staples Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/on3sportsFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/on3/Like/Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/On3Sports/

Of course, Jesse Simonton and Andy will have opinions about which teams might make the field. But what we know for sure is that some power-conference fanbase is going to be righteously furious when its team gets bumped for the highest ranked Group of 5 champ — or possibly a lower ranked power conference champ.Jesse also unveils his All-Transfer Portal team. He’s also been examining win totals in every conference, and he and Andy discuss which ones feel too high and which ones feel too low.Later, Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy joins to discuss some of the best transfer players that he’s studied. The Senior Bowl staff had to evaluate new Miami QB Cam Ward, new Ohio State QB Will Howard and new Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel in case they decided to leave for the NFL after last season. So Jim explains from a scout’s point of view what the new teams can expect from their new QBs.Want to watch the show instead?

QB Jaden Rashada has sued Florida coach Billy Napier and Florida mega-donor Hugh Hathcock alleging fraud because Rashada didn't receive any of the money he claims he was promised during his recruitment by Florida. Rashada, a four-star prospect in the class of 2023, flipped from Miami to Florida in November 2022. He signed with Florida even though his NIL deal already had been terminated by the collective that wrote it.

Rashada wound up playing last year at Arizona State and has since transferred to Georgia. On3's Pete Nakos joins to discuss the case.Later, Nick De La Torre of Gators Online joins to talk about what impact the lawsuit could have on Napier and the Gators.

Andy is on the scene at the ACC meetings in Amelia Island, Fla., and the scene is… weird.(0:00-3:05) Intro - Live from ACC Spring Meetings!(3:06-9:41) Kickoff Times Announced(9:42-23:12) North Carolina, Board of Trustees Update(23:13-48:40) Florida State Update with Ira Schoffel(48:41-53:44) NFL vs CFP Games on TV(53:45-1:02:33) NCAA president speaks on House Settlement(1:02:34-1:03:09) ConclusionTwo ACC schools (Florida State and Clemson) are suing the conference, and the conference is suing those schools back. And everyone is meeting ahead of a potentially exciting 2024 football season because no one can do anything about the court cases right now.Meanwhile, the board of trustees at North Carolina made a very public statement that the Tar Heels need to consider membership in another conference. Unlike at Clemson and Florida State, where the president and athletic director were very much on board with the anti-ACC sentiment, the trustees spent part of their meeting Monday criticizing athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who was headed to the meeting in Florida when they met. Cunningham, at least publicly, has been supportive of the ACC.Also, NCAA president Charlie Baker met with ACC ADs and coaches Monday to brief them on some of the big changes heading their way. The NCAA is negotiating a settlement in a class action lawsuit (House v. NCAA) that likely will change the business model for college sports. And Baker is talking like a person who wants that multi-billion dollar settlement done so the schools can start preparing for the future.Later, Andy and Ira Schoffel of On3’s Warchant discuss Florida State’s position in the ACC right now as the Seminoles sue the league in Florida and the league sues the Seminoles in North Carolina. Plus, Andy and Ira discuss what Florida State will look like on the football field this year after losing some very important players to the NFL. Want to watch the show instead?

Andy and Phillip Dukes are talking Auburn on a glorious spring Friday. Hugh Freeze said this week that he decided to roll with the QBs the Tigers had — including incumbent starter Payton Thorne and incoming freshman Walker White — rather than spending big on a QB in the transfer portal. Was that the correct choice, and how much will Freeze’s decision to call plays again change the course of the offense? Also, how good is freshman receiver Cam Coleman?(0:00-0:59) Intro(1:00-2:09) Phillip Dukes Joins(2:10-21:32) Auburn's Outlook(21:33-26:42) Notable Offenses(26:43-38:59) Juju Lewis Visiting Indiana(39:00-47:28) Dukes shows off his shoe collection(47:29-1:01:57) Austin Rivers comments(1:01:58-1:03:51) Wrapping Up, ConclusionJuJu Lewis, a top class of 2025 quarterback recruit from Dukes' neck of the woods is committed to USC and being pursued by Auburn, but he has scheduled a visit to Indiana. How did that happen, and what does it say about how serious new Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti is about turning around that program?The guys also discuss which teams improved their rosters the most now that the spring transfer portal window has closed. Miami kept adding players, but will those additions help the Hurricanes win more come fall?Andy and Dukes also discuss former NBA guard Austin Rivers’ comment that there were about 30 NBA players who could play in the NFL. Which is the more difficult sport? Also, which NBA stars would we have loved to see in college football?Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube! https://youtube.com/live/ZLv0Jn1EwXo

Walker played at Michigan last year, transferred to Ole Miss in January and now has decided to transfer back to Michigan. Meanwhile, Alabama DB transfer Peyton Woodyard committed to Oregon. San Jose State CB transfer Jay’Vion Cole, the top remaining DB in the portal, committed to Texas.The landing spot for Oklahoma QB transfer General Booty remains unknown.Andy and Pete also discuss Pete’s story on the possibility that athletes might collectively bargain with schools or conferences even if they aren’t employees. This is what the schools would prefer, but it may not be possible because of a variety of factors.Next, Billy Embody of On3's The Bengal Tiger joins to talk LSU. First, he and Andy put to rest any J.D. PicKell-created debate over the nickname for Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.Billy explains what LSU does now after missing on several key defensive line targets in the spring transfer portal window.

The spring transfer portal window is closed, but there’s still drama. Oklahoma landed one of the most sought-after players in the spring window on Thursday when TCU transfer Damonic Williams committed. Williams started every game in his two seasons at TCU and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 player in 2023. Few defensive linemen with this resume had entered the portal this spring, and a lot of schools wanted Williams. It came down to Oklahoma and Texas.(0:00-9:09) Intro - Transfer Portal News(9:10-23:13) Pete Nakos Joins to Break down Transfer Portal(23:14-29:57) NCAA Antitrust Settlement Case, Future of CFB(29:58-32:56) Texas A&M Introduction(32:57-1:05:12) Billy Liucci from Tex Ags joins(1:05:13-1:06:47) Conclusion - Have a great weekend!On3’s Pete Nakos breaks down that decision as well as the ongoing recruitment of Michigan State transfer defensive lineman Simeon Barrow, who told Pete on Thursday that he might decide Friday from a group that includes LSU, Missouri and Miami.Plus, Oklahoma backup QB General Booty is the highest ranking player to ever enter the transfer portal.Next, Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com joins the show to talk about a quiet spring in College Station as new coach Mike Elko works to shape a roster that probably isn’t as loaded as we’d think given Texas A&M’s recruiting rankings of the past few years.In fact, the situation Elko finds himself in now is eerily reminiscent of the one Steve Sarkisian took over at Texas in 2021.But with QB Conner Weigman working his way back toward 100 percent, transfer Nic Scourton coming off the edge and an SEC schedule that isn’t as tough as the one some other teams got, the Aggies might be a surprise come fall.Want to watch the show instead?

It’s a Dear Andy edition, and you have some great questions. Specifically, you have some very interesting questions about Deion Sanders.(0:00-7:37) Intro - Opt Outs, State of CFB(7:38-21:59) Introducing On3 - Her with Talia Goodman(22:00-24:09) Dear Andy Intro(24:10-45:31) Deion Sanders and Colorado(45:32-59:46) Coaches Hired to Win Championships(59:47-1:03:34) Group of 5 to Power 4 Transfers Idea(1:03:35-1:06:41) 4 New Conferences to Pick New Teams(1:06:42-1:09:49) Nick Saban's Retirement(1:09:50-1:14:03) G5 School to use in EA Sports?(1:14:04-1:16:14) ConclusionBut first, we’re very excited to introduce you to Talia Goodman. Talia is On3’s newest hire, and she’ll be leading the HER vertical. While a student reporter at Indiana University, Talia realized there wasn’t a transfer portal news-breaker covering women’s basketball, so she worked to make herself one. Now she’s the best in the game, and she’s bringing her talents to On3.Andy and Talia discuss how the women’s college game can capitalize on the moment it’s having currently, and Talia identifies the stars who will try to fill the void now that Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and company are off to the WNBA.Now, it’s time for your questions. Once again, Coach Prime and his team dominate the conversation.Will Shedeur Sanders' tweet clapping back at a former Colorado player hurt his chances to win awards? Would it affect his draft stock?How much longer should we reasonably expect Deion to be at Colorado?Given the discussion of the way Sanders handled cutting players and the back-and-forth between former and current Colorado players, what should be considered acceptable when managing a roster?Andy often talks about college football jobs where the job description is simply “Win the national title.” How many of those jobs are there? Which schools?Who does Andy plan to play as in Dynasty Mode when the new EA college football game debuts?Want to watch the show instead?

Andystapleson3@gmail.comAndy and Cody each will declare their offensive and defensive schemes. Then they’ll draft the best possible teams to carry out those schemes on the field.Perhaps they’re looking for different quarterbacks, but everyone needs great offensive tackles, edge rushers, defensive backs and receivers. Who will get LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell? Who will get Ohio State’s Caleb Downs?

The hype train for Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola is leaving the station, and Andy climbs aboard with Sean Callahan of On3’s Husker Online. Raiola’s spring game performance got the Nebraska fanbase pumped for the future. So what happens next? How does coach Matt Rhule handle the quarterback situation going into preseason camp? And who will help Raiola on offense when fall arrives?(0:00-4:29) Intro(4:30-13:49) Leaders Discussing Settlement of Antitrust Case(13:50-35:14) Sean Callahan from Husker Online Joins(35:15-40:28) Spring Transfer Portal(40:29-1:03:53) Tyler Horka from Blue and Gold joins(1:03:54-1:06:50) Conclusion - Draft Ultimate Teams tomorrowBefore that, Andy breaks down the news that the NCAA and major conferences have engaged in settlement talks in the House v. NCAA case. Why does this matter? Because any settlement likely involves the schools promising revenue sharing with the athletes going forward. That would change how the players are compensated, and it likely would lead to collective bargaining.Speaking of which, there was news on that front Monday out of Trent Dilfer’s UAB program.Also, a few more players jumped in the transfer portal ahead of its closing on Tuesday. Alabama freshman safety Peyton Woodyard entered on Monday night. Oregon is the favorite to land him. Nebraska edge rusher Chief Borders also has entered the portal. So has former Washington QB Sam Huard, who spent 2023 at Cal Poly. Offensive lineman Andrew Dennis, the highest ranked signee in Illinois’ 2024 class, also entered the portal.Next, Tyler Horka of On3’s Blue and Gold joins to discuss Notre Dame coming out of spring practice. The Fighting Irish got a good look at their quarterback room with presumed starter Riley Leonard recovering from ankle surgery, and the depth — and lack of QBs jumping in the portal — should inspire confidence. So should the performance of the receivers in the spring game. Notre Dame didn’t have anywhere near its full group, but the way the available players performed suggests that the passing game should be much more dynamic than it was last season.Want to watch the show instead?

Oregon State RB transfer Damien Martinez has committed to Miami, and Colorado RB transfer Dylan Edwards has committed to Kansas State. Meanwhile, Colorado wrapped spring practice and continued to add more transfers. That includes RB Rashad Amos, a Miami (Ohio) transfer who originally had planned to go to Mississippi State.Next, Justin Hopkins of Scoop Duck joins to talk about Oregon. The Ducks wrapped spring practice Saturday, and Oklahoma transfer QB Dillon Gabriel looks like he’s been in Eugene forever. We also got a look at a few potential star freshmen on defense, and we got our first look at QB Dante Moore as a Duck.Plus, Andy breaks down the rest of the NFL draft....Want to watch the show instead?

And the portal has been busy. On Wednesday, Georgia defensive lineman Christen Miller announced his intention to enter the portal. This is another player of consequence entering the portal.

But first, there’s a lot of transfer portal news.0:00 Intro - Reggie Bush Gets his Heisman Back!12:56 Intro14:24 Transfer Portal Update - Colorado22:08 Other Portal News27:02 Jesse Simonton joins to talk the NFL Draft51:57 Jesse Simonton breaks down his top head coaches in college football1:14:42 Conclusion, Dear Andy Tomorrow - Andystapleson3@gmail.comThe most interesting name is Dylan Edwards, the Colorado tailback who led the Buffaloes in rushing last season. Edwards was one of Deion Sanders’ first big flips, choosing Colorado over Notre Dame out of high school. But now Edwards plans to hit the portal. Where will he go? We’re not quite sure, but Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson posted a photo of he and Edwards playing together in pee-wee football.Next, Andy and On3 national writer Jesse Simonton have things to argue about. Andy released his mock draft, while Jesse released his All-College Football team of potential NFL draftees.Jesse also revealed his top 25 college football coaches this week. That topic certainly won’t create any debate in the chat.

Yes, Caleb Williams was always that good. But he wasn’t the top-ranked quarterback in the recruiting class of 2021. (That guy is still in college.) Meanwhile, J.J. McCarthy was as polarizing a college recruit as he is a potential NFL draft pick.(0:00-3:50) Introduction - NFL Draft(3:51-7:52) Charles Power and Cody Bellaire Join, Covid's Impact(7:53-13:29) Caleb Williams, USC(13:30-17:35) Drake Maye, UNC(17:36-19:28) Quinn Ewers Discussion(19:29-24:36) JJ McCarthy, Michigan(24:37-26:49) Jayden Daniels, LSU(26:50-29:25) Overall QB's(29:26-31:31) Jayden Daniels and Innovation in Technology(31:32-34:51) Favorite Prospect - Brock Bowers, Georgia(34:52-36:05) Jonathon Brooks, Texas(36:06-40:36) Can't Miss Recruits: Byron Murphy, Texas(40:37-43:35) Offensive Line Class: Joe Alt, Notre Dame(43:36-46:23) Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma(46:24-49:06) Gary Patterson at TCU(49:07-53:22) Guys Not in the Draft (53:23-56:59) Significance of Age(57:00-1:01:00) Guys Not in the Draft, Re-Visited(1:01:01-1:02:05) ConclusionOn3 director of ranking Charles Power and national scout Cody Bellaire join Andy to share stories about the players who will be drafted beginning this Thursday when they were high schoolers trying to choose where they would play their college ball.Cody, who used to work in the personnel department at LSU, offers a plausible alternate history where Williams winds up in Baton Rouge playing for Ed Orgeron. Charles discusses how low-key Jayden Daniels' recruitment to Arizona State was. Charles also explains how the Joe Alt who came out of high school in Minnesota was not nearly as easy to project as the version of Alt who is leaving Notre Dame and heading to anchor some NFL team’s offensive line for the next 10 years. Plus, the guys pay tribute to the Patron Saint of Projection — former TCU coach Gary Patterson.Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube and join us LIVE, M-F, at 8 am et!

Sure, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian made it abundantly clear that Quinn Ewers is the Texas starter and that he just really wanted to give Manning a chance to play significant snaps in the spring game. But that’s not how the Internet works, Sark.Meanwhile, Michigan wrapped spring practice, and it appears the Wolverines’ QB competition will come down to Alex Orji and Davis Warren — unless Michigan coaches decide to dip into the transfer portal for a QB. So far, no QB that would appear worthy of Michigan’s starting job has entered the portal.That brings us to a transfer portal update from On3 national writer Pete Nakos. The weekend brought a lot of official visits, a few commitments and a few new entries.Next, Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus joins to break down Thursday’s NFL Draft. Trevor is a massive college football fan who also happens to be a draft analyst, and he’ll help explain some of the more interesting swings in draft conventional wisdom. For instance, former Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy is now being mocked as a likely top-10 pick. How did he climb draft boards so fast?Want to watch the show instead?

Quarterback Jaden Rashada, whose original signing with Florida disintegrated after a collective reneged on a contract that purported to be worth $13.8 million over four years, is leaving Arizona State after one season in Tempe. Where might he wind up? On3’s Pete Nakos reported he possibly could be headed to an SEC school.Next, LSU receivers coach/co-offensive coordinator Cortez Hankton Jr. joins the show. Hankton will be in the green room at the draft next week with former Tigers receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., who are expected to be picked in the first round. Hankton, who came to LSU from Georgia and who could have as many as six former players drafted next week, discusses how those two developed into first-rounders.Later, On3 national scout Cody Bellaire explains how college personnel departments are handling the transfer portal window. Bellaire, who worked in the personnel departments at LSU, Texas A&M and Texas Tech, breaks down exactly how the process works from a player deciding to enter the portal to choosing a new school.Want to watch the show instead?

Offensive line remains a question mark. What does that mean for the development of new starting quarterback Jackson Arnold?Also, how much different is Oklahoma’s roster makeup since the Sooners decided three years ago to join the SEC?Andy updates the transfer portal, which opened Tuesday. A few players who could contribute to contending teams have tossed in their names now.Plus, Sportico obtained a potential conference breakdown from a pitch deck for the college football super league idea that arrived with a thud a few years ago. It helps explain why the idea got zero traction with the people who make the decisions.Michigan and the NCAA have negotiated a resolution to (mostly) wrap up the case commonly known as Cheeseburgergate. The school and some current and former coaches have agreed to punishments for recruiting violations committed during the pandemic. The one former coach who did not agree to any sort of resolution? Jim Harbaugh. The former Michigan and current Los Angeles Chargers head coach did not take part in the settlement and has continued to fight the accusations against him. Clayton Sayfie of On3’s The Wolverine joined to discuss what this means for the Wolverines and for Harbaugh.Want to watch the show instead?

The window for undergraduate transfers doesn’t open until Monday, but two big names indicated on Tuesday that they plan to enter the portal when it opens. USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander — perhaps the biggest mover in last year’s spring portal when he went from Georgia to the Trojans — plans to move again. Meanwhile, Oregon State tailback Damien Martinez — who averaged 6.1 yards a carry for the Beavers last year — also plans to enter the portal.The basketball portal remains busy as well. Indiana State’s Robbie Avila — affectionately known as Cream Abdul-Jabbar or Larry Nerd — has entered his name into the portal. Is he following former Sycamores coach Josh Schertz to Saint Louis? Or is he looking elsewhere?In a Tallahassee courtroom, a judge denied the ACC’s request to stay Florida State’s lawsuit against the league.

We’ve got two Final Fours to talk about. We’ve also got some football.It’s Iowa against UConn and South Carolina against N.C. State in the women’s Final Four, and all eyes are on Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and UConn’s Paige Bueckers. Clark always wanted to play for UConn, but Bueckers was the prized player the Huskies recruited in the class of 2020. Only one will lead her team to the national title game.Meanwhile, two N.C. State basketball teams are trying to shock the world. The N.C. State women play undefeated South Carolina, while the Wolfpack men will face Purdue on Saturday.We’ll also be talking N.C. State football. The Wolfpack play their spring game on Saturday, and so does Clemson. So we’re bringing in the great Roddy Jones of the ACC Network to discuss the biggest storylines in the league. And Roddy is very intrigued by new N.C. State quarterback Grayson McCall.Also, Nebraska’s quarterbacks met the media Thursday, which meant we got to see freshman Dylan Raiola’s first interview as a Cornhusker. Andy breaks it down.Next, On3’s James Fletcher III joins to discuss the men’s Final Four. Can UConn keep covering every spread, or can Alabama challenge the Huskies in a shootout? How will the matchup of N.C. State’s D.J. Burns Jr. and Purdue’s Zach Edey play out?Want to watch the show instead?

Next AJ Green and Julio Jones?(58:15-1:02:44) Kalen DeBoer's first year schedule(1:02:45-1:08:27) Weddings in the Fall(1:08:28-1:12:47) Delegation Question from Producer River(1:12:48-1:13:43) ConclusionIt’s a Dear Andy show, but first we’ve got to talk about a very interesting development. The Athletic reported on Wednesday that a group of movers and shakers — including multiple university presidents, a key search firm executive and a high-ranking NFL executive — are trying to create a college football super league that would provide a workable path forward (read: less lawsuits) while also not cutting out more than half the current FBS teams.The idea, brought forward by a group that includes NFL No. 2 Brian Rolapp and search firm executive Len Perna, would include all the current FBS programs but would be split into multiple divisions. There would be promotion and relegation between divisions. The league would serve as the employer for the players and would collectively bargain with the players.Andrew Marchand, who wrote The Athletic story along with Stewart Mandel, joins to discuss why they’re going public now and if there is any real chance this might happen. Spoiler alert: The Big Ten, the SEC and the TV networks do not seem supportive.Next, Andy answers your questions:How many college football games in 2024 will have more viewers than the LSU-Iowa women’s Elite Eight game played Monday?Is there a college football equivalent to the way referees call games involving Purdue basketball star Zach Edey?How many games does Kalen DeBoer have to win in year one at Alabama to keep the fanbase happy?And much, much more…Want to watch the show instead?

Jesse wrote a column this week detailing which teams had real chances to be the first champion to emerge from a 12-team College Football Playoff. That format matters a lot. A team now must win at least three and possibly four consecutive games against the best of the best to claim the national title. Who is deep enough to survive that gauntlet? But Andy wonders if any team is deep enough in the transfer portal era to avoid a surprise loss.Next, Spencer Holbrook of On3’s Lettermen Row joins to talk Ohio State as the Buckeyes — one of the teams that definitely belong on the can-win-the-national-title-list — continue spring practice. This is the most loaded Ohio State roster in years, but how do the pieces fit together? Is Kansas State transfer Will Howard definitely QB1, or does Devin Brown still have a chance? How does Alabama transfer Caleb Downs change the defense? Is receiver Jeremiah Smith, the nation’s top recruit in the class of 2024, as good as advertised?Want to watch the show instead?

Clark scored 41 points, dished out 12 assists and grabbed seven rebounds as the Hawkeyes beat the Tigers 94-87 to advance to the Final Four in Cleveland.Kyle Huesmann of The Hawkeye Report was in Albany for the fireworks, and he joins Andy to discuss a game that was a classic for a half before LSU went cold from the floor.Next, Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy joins Andy to play one of Andy’s favorite games: Which March Madness star could make a fortune in the NFL? This year’s candidate is N.C. State big man D.J. Burns, who might have missed his calling as a cornerstone left tackle (he’s also VERY good at basketball).Jim also weighs in on the Marvin Harrison Jr./Malik Nabors WR1 debate and updates us on the draft stock of Michael Penix Jr., Bo Nix and Spencer Rattler.Want to watch the show instead?

DeBoer talked about the unique challenge of taking over an ultra-successful program rather than one that changed coaches because things weren’t working.DeBoer discussed how he wants the offense to look, and he went over the learning curve for quarterback Jalen Milroe and the rest of Alabama’s signal-callers. DeBoer also went in-depth on how important it was to get recruits to Tuscaloosa this spring so they could see for themselves that while the coaching staff is new, the standard at Alabama hasn’t changed.Next, Andy and On3’s James Fletcher III break down the Elite Eight games and look forward to the Final Four. Is the matchup of N.C. State’s D.J. Burns Jr. and Purdue’s Zach Edey the most fun clash we’ve seen in the post in a Final Four game this century? Can Alabama and its rotating cast of stars be the team that finally challenges UConn in a tournament game? Or will the Huskies keep rolling into the national title game?Subscribe to On3! ⬇️ youtube.com/on3sports/?sub_confirmati...Welcome to On3 | The best of college football and recruiting https://www.on3.com/Listen to Andy Staples On3 on podcast!Spotify 🎧 : https://open.spotify.com/show/5AhQ4d2m5TQu5Q2vkwtxjt?si=d9016221aa2a4427Apple🍎:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/andy-staples-on3/id1695325427Follow Andy Staples on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Andy_StaplesFollow Andy Staples on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andy_staplesFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/on3sportsFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/on3/Like/Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/On3Sports/

Andy and On3’s James Fletcher III break it all down.For possibly the first time all season, Alabama’s defense matched its offense and the Crimson Tide beat North Carolina in a thriller that ended with multiple Grant Nelson blocks. Alabama will face Clemson, which beat Arizona on a night when the Wildcats inexplicably kept shooting threes that wouldn’t go down when easier scoring options were available.In the East Region, Illinois is headed to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2005 after beating Iowa State. The Cyclones brought their usual suffocating defense, but the Illini matched it and Terrence Shannon Jr. scored 29 and helped seal the win with a breakaway dunk.Illinois will face defending national champ Connecticut in the Elite Eight. The Huskies went cold late in the first half Thursday but roared to life in the second half and crushed San Diego State by 30 in a rematch of last season’s national title game.Friday, South No. 1 seed Houston plays Duke, while Marquette plays tourney darling N.C. State. In the Midwest region, Tennessee plays Creighton and top-seeded Purdue plays Gonzaga.Want to watch the show instead?

Could he be the first receiver off the board, or will it be Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr.?Next, Tennessee center Cooper Mays joins Andy to talk manning the middle of one of the fastest offenses in college football. How different might the Volunteers look with Nico Iamaleava at quarterback? Mays also explains what it’s like to snap and then try to block a 330-pound future first-rounder.Next, it’s time for Andy to answer your questions…Is this quarterback draft class closer to 1983 or 1999?If Kentucky is the best job in college football, what is the best job in college basketball?Which college football offenses will be the most improved in 2024?And more…Want to watch the show instead?

As March Madness takes a little hiatus, we turn to some more college football talk from the On3 Studios in Nashville. J.D. PicKell joins to discuss the new NFL rule changes and how it could translate over to the collegiate ranks. We also discuss Ole Miss transfer DE Princely Umanmielen and his comments at a media availability. How will Nebraska look with their new athletic director in Troy Dannen?

Penn State hired away offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, and Leipold hired veteran coordinator Jeff Grimes to take over an offense led by human highlight reel Jalon Daniels. Kansas also will be playing its games in Kansas City while the Jayhawks’ home stadium is being rebuilt in Lawrence. A time traveler from 2019 wouldn’t believe one of the clauses that was written into the contract with the Chiefs’ stadium.Next, Andy and Nick Roush of Kentucky Sports Radio break down the John Calipari situation at Kentucky. Calipari is scheduled to meet with Wildcats athletic director Mitch Barnhart on Tuesday, but Calipari’s appearance on his radio show Monday night certainly seems to suggest he’s coming back for another season. That’s going to frustrate a lot of the fanbase. What does Calipari need to do to win back that group? And more importantly, what does he need to do to get out of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament?Want to watch the show instead?

Georgia running back Trevor Etienne, who just arrived from Florida, was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with DUI. Meanwhile, USC had a big recruiting day Sunday as the Trojans try to address their defensive issues. They flipped a defensive tackle from Georgia and landed commitments from a highly rated edge rusher and safety for the class of 2025.The Sweet 16 is set, and it’s pretty chalky. But it took a miraculous overtime escape by South No. 1 seed Houston against Texas A&M to get there. The Cougars had four players foul out Sunday night and still managed to pull off a 100-95 win. Also, On3’s James Fletcher III caught a leg whip from Houston’s J’Wan Roberts when Roberts dove over press row for a loose ball in overtime.James joins Andy to talk about the wild finish in Memphis and the rest of the tournament action…UConn looks like a machine that could roll to a second consecutive national title…Purdue dispatched Northwestern with ease.North Carolina handled Michigan State.Chalk in the round of 32 means big matchups in the Sweet 16. Andy and James get you ready for Alabama-North Carolina, Houston-Duke, Purdue-Gonzaga and Illinois-Iowa State.Plus, Michigan hires Dusty May away from Florida Atlantic.Also, Kentucky hasn’t made a decision regarding John Calipari yet. That could happen early this week.

The one thing Kentucky coach John Calipari couldn’t do was lose to Oakland and he… lost to Oakland. On3’s James Fletcher III joins to discuss the biggest story in the sport and the rest of Thursday’s action.Kentucky hasn’t made the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament since 2019, and seemingly the entire Kentucky fanbase has turned against Calipari. But his buyout is massive. The Jimbo Fisher parallels are strong, right down to the amount it will take to fire him.Meanwhile, Oakland coach Greg Kampe, who has coached the Golden Grizzlies for 40 YEARS, notched his biggest win as a head coach. Not to be outdone, soon-to-retire Duquesne coach Keith Dambrot notched another one for the longtime veteran coaches as the Dukes upset No. 6 seed BYU.Gonzaga dispatched mid-major darling McNeese with shocking ease, and Oregon showed again that its a different team when healthy by beating No. 6 seed South Carolina.What fun will Friday bring? Andy and James will help set you up for all the action.Want to watch the show and join the LIVE Chat instead? Join us live on YouTube here, M-F, 8 am et: https://youtube.com/live/vuWzrgGX23s

Then it’s wall-to-wall basketball all weekend!Before we dive deeper into hoops, Tim Watts of On3’s Bama Online joins to talk offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor’s impending transfer BACK to Alabama from Iowa. What does this mean for the Crimson Tide? How did Proctor’s decision come about?Next up, it’s time for Dear Andy. Special guest Phillip Dukes, the host of On3’s Five Star Flex, joins Andy to answer your questions…Why do college basketball coaches seem to have more longevity in jobs than college football coaches?Why would athletic director Troy Dannen leave Washington for Nebraska?How will the TV networks handle the best Big Ten and SEC games as the SEC’s best game moves from CBS to ESPN/ABC and CBS goes all Big Ten at 3:30 p.m. ET?What are the top three first-weekend sites for the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments?Want to watch the show instead?

We have a great interview with new Syracuse head coach Fran Brown, but first we’ve got to examine two HUGE news stories that broke Tuesday.(0:00-2:12) Intro(2:13-6:13) OL Kadyn Proctor is Heading BACK to Alabama after a brief stint at Iowa(6:14-12:45) Clemson Sues the ACC Preview(12:46-31:53) Syracuse Head Coach Fran Brown joins(31:54-34:11) Syracuse 2024 Schedule(34:12-48:09) Kentucky Basketball before March with Nick Roush(48:10-1:05:13) Deep Dive into Clemson Suing the ACC with Pete Nakos(1:05:14-1:08:46) Conclusion - Wednesday's First Four PicksFirst, Clemson sued the ACC in a South Carolina court in an attempt to clarify whether the grant of rights all the ACC schools agreed to is legally binding. The Tigers joined Florida State, which sued the ACC in December in a Florida court. (The ACC filed a preemptive lawsuit against the Seminoles in North Carolina).Next, offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor appears headed BACK to Alabama after transferring to Iowa earlier this offseason. Proctor started all 14 games for the Crimson Tide at left tackle as a true freshman in 2023, but he entered the transfer portal shortly after Nick Saban retired and headed back to his home state. He told Iowa coaches this week that he intended to re-enter the portal, and he told On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Tuesday night that he intends to re-enroll at Alabama.Later, new Syracuse coach Brown joins the show to explain why he’ll chase the same five-star recruits at Syracuse that he chased as a Georgia assistant. He also explains why his relationships helped him reshape the Orange roster very quickly. After hearing Brown’s philosophy, you’re probably going to be very high on Syracuse next year.Next, Nick Roush of Kentucky Sports Radio joins to preview Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats haven’t made the second weekend of the tourney since 2019, but John Calipari’s team is capable of going deep in the tourney this year. But it’s also inconsistent enough to duck out in one of the first two rounds, and that’s what makes this team such an adventure to watch.After Nick, On3 national reporter Pete Nakos joins to break down Clemson’s lawsuit against the ACC. The Tigers’ suit has some similarities to the one filed by Florida State, but Clemson attacks from a few different angles as well. Does this mean the best brands leaving the ACC is inevitable? It does, but we’ve been telling you that for months.Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube and join us live every morning at 8 am et, M-F! https://youtube.com/live/GpofMiur42k

Brent Hubbs of On3’s Volquest joins to break down a Volunteers’ schedule that — as new SEC schedules go — is not the scariest.How will the ascension of Nico Iamaleava to the starting quarterback role change Tennessee’s offense? Can the Vols be more explosive than they were last year, when a Joe Milton-led group took a step back from the previous year’s Hendon Hooker-led group? Plus, how much will having one of the nation’s deepest defensive lines help a group that struggled to get off the field on third-and-long plays last season?FanDuel has set Tennessee’s win total at 8.5. The over certainly seems reachable, but the bigger question is whether the Vols can go over by more than one win. If they can, they might be a College Football Playoff team.Next, Sean Callahan of On3’s Husker Online joins to break down a wild week in Nebraska. Last week, athletic director Trev Alberts — a former Nebraska football star — shocked the school by leaving for the same job at Texas A&M. On Monday, football coach Matt Rhule tried to rally Nebraska supporters who felt gut-punched by the move. Rhule showed he has mastered the political aspects of the Nebraska football job. He reassured the fan base while also encouraging greater donation and investment. He also staked his claim to having an even bigger voice in athletic department and school leadership.Now, he needs to get his team ready to win some games. Because if he can add wins to his political savvy, Rhule could have a very productive tenure at Nebraska.Want to watch the show instead?

The commissioners who run the College Football Playoff have agreed on a revenue split and a TV deal for the CFP beyond 2026, but they haven’t settled on a format. The 14-team model commissioners had proposed is not a sure thing because ESPN doesn’t want to pay more for additional games.Now it’s time to talk about a postseason tournament that knows what it is.

Ole Miss defensive end Jared Ivey joins the show to talk about the great expectations for the Rebels in 2024. Ivey, who hosts his own (excellent) show called The Ivey League, explains how even though Ole Miss has thrived using the transfer portal, players like himself — Ivey came from Georgia Tech prior to the 2022 season — and others have put down roots in Oxford and created a winning culture. A group of those older players decided this past offseason to wait on the NFL and run it back following an 11-win season.(0:00-1:33) Intro(1:34-2:35) New NCAA Tickets Punched(2:36-8:00) Nick Saban on Capitol Hill(8:01-32:16) Ole Miss DE Jared Ivey Joins the Show(32:17-56:36) FAU Head Coach Tom Herman joins(56:37-57:59) Conclusion - Dear Andy tomorrow!Next, Florida Atlantic coach Tom Herman visits to discuss year two with the Owls.

Freeman discusses reuniting with offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock, who coached Jayden Daniels to the Heisman Trophy last year at LSU. Freeman also talks about hiring a strength coach and how important that position is.Freeman explains how he’s handling the quarterbacks after getting transfer Riley Leonard from Duke. Freeman also discusses how the Irish plan to replace offensive tackles Joe Alt and Blake Fisher.Next, Tim Watts of On3’s BamaOnline joins to discuss how wildly different the program feels under new coach Kalen DeBoer. They’re playing music at practice, which Nick Saban didn’t do. They’re letting assistant coaches do interviews. Nick Saban didn’t do that, either.But DeBoer was never going to work exactly like Saban did. But he’s alike in some ways. The Crimson Tide had a massive wave of visitors in the first week of spring practice, and it appears they’re ready to compete for the same kind of players they did under Saban.Want to watch the show on YouTube?

Venables has revamped the roster since arriving before the 2022 season, but he’s managed to keep the core of his defense intact. Meanwhile, the Sooners must break in an almost completely new offensive line as former five-star recruit Jackson Arnold takes the reins at quarterback. It’s a year of transformation in Norman, and how is Venables handling the process?Next, On3’s resident bracketologist James Fletcher III stops by to talk about some of the filled NCAA Tournament bracket spots and all the ones remaining. Stetson (Atlantic Sun), Longwood (Big South), Drake (Missouri Valley) and Morehead State (Ohio Valley) have punched their tickets. Drake’s win against Indiana State means Robbie Avila — AKA Larry Nerd AKA Cream Abdul-Jabbar — is at the mercy of the selection committee. Can the Sycamores get an at-large? Meanwhile, power conference tournaments begin this week. Who can get a bid with a deep run, and who needs to win the whole thing?

Dilfer thinks the schism between the Big Ten/SEC and the rest of the FBS is coming soon, perhaps within the next 18 months.That a sitting FBS coach would say this is interesting enough, but Dilfer spent enough time working at ESPN to know a lot of the people who move the levers that make these things happen. Plus, everything else has happened faster than expected, so perhaps things could move this fast.Andy and Cole discuss what such a league might look like. Would it be 50 or 60 teams or something smaller? Who could be included? What would happen to the rest of the FBS?With court cases still looming, schools exploring the idea of partnering with private equity firms and further realignment still on the horizon, could everything look different by 2026?Plus, Andy discusses Iowa star Caitlin Clark breaking the NCAA's all-time scoring record. Nike was ready with a congratulatory ad, and the Hawkeyes avenged an earlier loss to No. 2 Ohio State.Next, On3's James Fletcher III joins Andy to talk college basketball. Tennessee's win at Alabama on Saturday might be enough to move the Volunteers onto the NCAA Tournament selection committee's No. 1 seed line. Gonzaga won a critical game at St. Mary's.Also, can Ohio State interim coach Jake Diebler possibly get the Buckeyes into the NCAA Tournament.Plus, which low-major and mid-major conference tournament No. 1 seeds should be on upset watch this week?Want to watch the show instead?

With the CFP expanding to 12 this season, is this the year the Nittany Lions finally break in? If you believe they’ll go over 9.5 wins, then you believe they’ll make the CFP.The question is this: How excited will fans be if Penn State is still only the third-best team in the Big Ten? Would making the CFP change the calculation? Sean Fitz of On3’s Blue and White Illustrated joins to answer these questions and more. Penn State has two new coordinators and perhaps the most interesting schedule it has had since before it joined the Big Ten. There is much to discuss.Next, On3’s James Fletcher III joins to preview a critical weekend in college basketball. Has Kentucky turned the corner after smashing Alabama and winning on a buzzer-beater at Mississippi State? Also, Tennessee heads to Tuscaloosa for a game that could help determine NCAA Tournament seeding.Kansas heads to Waco to face Baylor in a clash of Big 12 titans. Marquette and Creighton play in a key Big East game in Omaha. Out west, Gonzaga faces St. Mary’s in the West Coast Conference finale. Lose, and the Bulldogs might need to win the WCC Tournament to make the NCAA tourney.Want to watch the show? Join us LIVE, M-F, at 8 am et here: https://youtube.com/live/Kcu-q_UAH-c

Send your questions to AndyStaplesOn3@gmail.comOur friends at Fanduel set the over/under on Oklahoma’s win total at 7.5 — and some books had the Sooners as low as 6.5 at first. Do the folks in the desert have an inkling about how Oklahoma’s first season in the big, bad SEC will go? Or are they perhaps underestimating how good the Sooners will be in their first season in their new league?Eddie Radosevich and George Stoia III of On3’s SoonerScoop join Andy to discuss one of the more interesting win totals of the season. They dive into Oklahoma’s schedule and examine which young players could make an early impact.Next up, On3’s J.D. PicKell visits to discuss his recent interviews with LSU coach Brian Kelly and Florida State coach Mike Norvell.Kelly lost a Heisman Trophy-winning QB and his offensive coordinator and had to fire his defensive coordinator. Can LSU be competitive again in the SEC after all those changes?Meanwhile, Norvell had to dramatically reshape his roster after losing the core of a team that went 13-0 and won the ACC before getting shut out of the College Football Playoff. Can Norvell work his magic in the transfer portal again?Subscribe to On3! ⬇️ youtube.com/on3sports/?sub_confirmati...Welcome to On3 | The best of college football and recruiting https://www.on3.com/Listen to Andy Staples On3 on podcast!Spotify 🎧 : https://open.spotify.com/show/5AhQ4d2m5TQu5Q2vkwtxjt?si=d9016221aa2a4427Apple🍎:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/andy-staples-on3/id1695325427Follow Andy Staples on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Andy_StaplesFollow Andy Staples on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andy_staplesFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/on3sportsFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/on3/Like/Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/On3Sports/

Elko explains the differences in taking over a program with no prior experience there and one where he’s familiar. He also explains why one of the most accomplished strength coaches in the sport called him looking for a job.Before Elko visits, we need to talk court/field storming. We’ve talked about it multiple times on the show, and the inevitable happened Saturday when Duke’s Kyle Filipowski was injured when Wake Forest fans stormed the court after beating Duke.Andy explains why this probably won’t stop court/field storming, but it might convince athletic departments to have a better security plan to ensure players get off the floor/field.Andy also breaks down the massive loss for the NCAA in federal court on Friday. A judge in Tennessee issued a preliminary injunction that essentially pauses the NCAA’s ability to enforce its name, image and likeness rules. Will this finally convince schools to start moving toward the more sensible method of schools paying players directly?Tyler Horka of On3’s Blue and Gold joins to explain what the potential changes to the College Football Playoff could mean for Notre Dame. Tyler also helps us dive into Notre Dame’s schedule to determine whether the Irish can go over the 9.5 win total set for them earlier this month.Want to watch the show instead?

This is happening even though the commissioners who run the CFP still aren’t sure exactly who will be in their conferences in 2026. They also have to decide this in the next month so they can secure sites and lock down a TV deal.With so much changing, maybe it’s time to just tear it down and rebuild instead of continuing to tweak. Andy calls on the great Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports to brainstorm ideas. In such a time of chaos, there are no bad ideas? Want relegation? Let’s figure it out. Want an objective format for choosing playoff teams? Let’s design one.Next, On3’s James Fletcher III joins Andy to talk NCAA men’s basketball tournament bracketology and bubble watch. With likely No. 1 seeds Purdue and Connecticut getting knocked off in the past week, does someone else have a chance to move up to the top line? Did Texas A&M kill its chances of making the tourney by losing to Arkansas? Can Florida or Nebraska secure spots in the field with a couple more wins?Want to watch the show instead?

That’s what the commissioners in charge of the CFP talked about on Wednesday, and they have about a month to decide how they want to tweak the CFP format.How would a 14-team playoff look? What about a 16-team format? Why are commissioners considering this? How would it change automatic bids?Next up, West Virginia coach Neal Brown joins the show. He discusses ending the 2023 season with a mayo bath, proving wrong the people who predicted the Mountaineers would finish last in the Big 12 and retaining the best players on the roster in the NIL era.Brown also explains the process of testing out a coach-to-helmet communication system in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. Does he think everyone will be using similar systems this season?Then it’s back to Dear Andy…Does the 12-team format — which may only exist for 2024 and 2025 — favor the teams that finish No. 3 in the Big Ten or SEC?Would Oklahoma’s predicted win total be higher if Dillon Gabriel were still the Sooners’ starting quarterback?Is UCLA in danger of being more like Indiana or Northwestern in the Big Ten?How should schools handle quarterback recruiting in the NIL era?Want to watch the show instead?

Send your questions to andystapleson3@gmail.comThe commissioners who run the College Football Playoff decided Tuesday to shift the format to five automatic bids and seven at-larges to account for the implosion of the Pac-12. But that change might only last two seasons. The commissioners are back at work Wednesday talking about what happens when the original CFP deal expires after the 2025 season. Is this where we see the Big Ten-SEC "advisory group" start to exert its influence?Next, UCF coach Gus Malzahn joins the show to discuss what surprised him in the Knights' first year in the Big 12. Malzahn also talks retaining talent and how he decided to start calling plays again. Plus, he tells the story of how he met a young Eli Drinkwitz.Joe Cook of On3's Inside Texas helps us take a deep dive into the Longhorns' first SEC schedule. Texas has a preseason win total of 10.5, and the Longhorns get Georgia at home. Could Texas win the league in its first year?

There were a lot of experienced, successful returning starters across the country. That isn’t the case this season. We know Carson Beck at Georgia, Shedeur Sanders at Colorado, Jaxson Dart at Ole Miss and Quinn Ewers at Texas, but the other likely starting QBs on contending teams are either transfers or youngsters who have waited their turn.Andy and Jesse Simonton break down the state of the QB position heading into the season.Could a transfer like Will Howard or Dillon Gabriel lead his team to a national title?Is Michigan’s QB1 currently on its roster?Is Ewers for certain the guy at Texas, or will Arch Manning push him at some point in the season?Who will succeed Caleb Williams as USC’s QB1?Will one of the three super sophomores (Tennessee’s Nico Iamaleava, Oklahoma’s Jackson Arnold, Kansas State’s Avery Johnson) emerge as a superstar?Which QB will make the leap in his second season as the starter at his school?Next, Justin Hopkins of On3’s ScoopDuck breaks down Oregon’s schedule. The Ducks are tied with Georgia, Ohio State and Texas for the highest preseason win total on Fanduel at 10.5. Can Oregon be a contender in year one in the Big Ten?

Now he’s at Florida State trying to help the Seminoles keep their momentum going after an ACC title season.

We continue our deep-dive series into college football teams for 2024 with Nebraska and Ole Miss. Fanduel dropped a ton of season win totals on us recently, and that gives us a great excuse to examine the schedules of different programs as they enter a season of drastic change in the sport.(0:00-2:02) Intro - Valentine's Day 101(2:03-6:14) 2024 Projected Wins Continued(6:15-11:29) ESPN, CFP Deal(11:30-16:54) Tennessee vs NCAA Update(16:55-37:18) Sean Callahan Talks Nebraska, 7.5 Projected Wins(37:19-1:02:30) Zach Berry Joins to Discuss Ole Miss at 9.5 Wins(1:02:31-1:04:18) Conclusion - Dear Andy Tomorrow!Submit your Dear Andy questions to AndyStaplesOn3@gmail.comBefore we get to the Cornhuskers and Rebels, Andy breaks down the news that ESPN will continue to televise the College Football Playoff through the 2031 season.Andy also recaps Tuesday’s hearing in a Tennessee federal courthouse between the Tennessee attorney general and the NCAA in a case involving NIL rules.Then, Sean Callahan of On3’s Husker Online joins to discuss what on the surface appears to be an aggressive win total (7.5) for a Nebraska program that hasn’t made a bowl game since 2016. But a deeper look at the schedule shows there is definitely a chance. The question is how well quarterback Dylan Raiola will play as a true freshman, because it certainly seems as if the star recruit is in line to be the Cornhuskers’ QB1.Next, Zach Berry of On3’s OM Spirit visits to discuss the Rebels’ win total (9.5), which doesn’t seem outrageous considering they won 10 regular-season games last season and have — at least on paper — a more talented roster this season. Can Ole Miss go over? And is that essentially the same question as “Can Ole Miss make the CFP?”Want to watch the show instead?

Who made the best hire? Did anyone reach?Also, Pete helps preview the hearing as the attorneys general from Tennessee and Virginia take on the NCAA’s NIL rules in a federal courthouse in Knoxville on Tuesday. The judge in the case seems to have indicated how he’s going to rule, but could something surprising happen?Plus, Pete talks transfer portal. Only Michigan, Boston College and UCLA still have portal windows open. Does he expect much movement? Or will players wait until spring?As we mentioned, Fanduel recently dropped a huge batch of college football win totals. What are some of the numbers that we’ll need to take a deeper dive into in the coming weeks? Two that jump out: Miami at 9.5 and Oklahoma at 7.5.Next, Nick De La Torre of On3's Gators Online joins the show to talk about how and why Florida lost its recently hired strength coach to Boston College. What do Billy Napier and the Gators do now? Also, Florida’s season win total number has been set at 5.5.

Kelly replaces Bill O’Brien, who became Boston College’s head coach. Meanwhile, Alabama needs an offensive coordinator now that Ryan Grubb has taken the same position with the Seattle Seahawks.So who will be UCLA’s head coach? It doesn’t sound like Minnesota’s P.J. Fleck is in the running. Maybe it’s UNLV’s Barry Odom or Nebraska defensive coordinator Tony White?Meanwhile, the dominoes kept falling elsewhere.

This led to anger at Herbstreit from Georgia fans because Dylan Raiola flipped to Nebraska from Georgia. Andy talked to Herbstreit on Wednesday night and can provide a lot more context for how that phone call went.

Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) teamed with Sen. Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) to re-introduce a bill that would force more transparency, accountability and speed for NCAA investigations into schools. In non-NCAA news that could affect how you watch your college football, it appears Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. plan to team up to offer a bundle of sports channels that might cover most of the watchable sports spectrum. It sounds an awful lot like cable, but without most of the non-sports stuff. Meanwhile, Jim Harbaugh continues to raid the Michigan staff as he fills out his Los Angeles Chargers staff. On the day defensive coordinator Jesse Minter said goodbye to Michigan fans, the NFL Network reported that defensive line coach Mike Elston would join Harbaugh in Los Angeles.Later, George Stoia III and Eddie Radosevich of On3’s Sooner Scoop join Andy to say goodbye to country singer Toby Keith, who died Monday night after a battle with cancer. Keith was a massive Oklahoma fan, and his loss will be felt across Sooner Nation.George and Eddie also talk Oklahoma’s 2024 team and where in the SEC Oklahoma fans are most excited to go.Next, former Iowa punter Tory Taylor joins Andy to tell the story of his journey from Australia to Iowa City. Taylor was one of Iowa’s most important players, and he explains how his “Punting Is Winning” shirts came to be and why Cooper DeJean is a punter’s best friend (as long as it’s the punter on his team).Want to watch the show instead?

Both are very interesting. Alabama has the lowest win total (9.5) since 2016, and Colorado's 5.5 total means bettors must decide if Coach Prime can engineer a two-win improvement in year two (and in a new conference).Next, On3's newest hire Phillip Dukes joins Andy to discuss his new show Five-Star Flex as well as the current recruiting landscape. Dukes also talks Auburn, where the excitement over the incoming receivers is tempered by concerns about quarterbackLater, former Oregon defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus joins Andy to discuss why some rivalries shouldn't be set aside -- even in all-star games.Want to watch the show?

Plus, Tennessee football player Jackson Lampley filed a declaration Thursday in the lawsuit against the NCAA filed Wednesday by the attorneys general of Tennessee and Virginia. The NCAA also released its infractions report Thursday in the case involving fired Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon.

If you don’t know New Hampshire RB Laube yet, get ready.

Email Questions to andystapleson3@gmail.comHarbaugh Watch continues. Will it turn into HARBAUGHGEDDON? While Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers (reportedly) discuss a job offer, we wait. Until we get clarity about whether Harbaugh will leave for the NFL, let’s talk college football and car commercials.Julian Fleming, the receiver who just transferred to Penn State from Ohio State, stars in a classic car dealer commercial that is the best NIL deal ad of the year (so far). Next, Grace Raynor of The Athletic to discuss her story examining the current state of Clemson under Dabo Swinney. The Tigers went 9-4 last season and continue to avoid using the transfer portal in the manner their opponents do. Can Clemson rebound and turn into a national title contender again? Or is this a slide that will continue as long as Swinney remains stubborn?Tim Watts of On3’s Bama Online joins later to provide a more clear-eyed view of where Alabama stands 13 days after Nick Saban retired. The shock has worn off, and it’s time for a more sober accounting. Were some of the transfer portal losses bad? Yes? Is Alabama falling off a cliff? Absolutely not. Want to watch the show instead?

On this episode of Andy Staples On3, Andy takes a look at multiple topics whether it's Caitlin Clark, Florida's NCAA Investigation, and the transfer portal over the weekend.(0:00-7:58) Intro - Ohio State in the Portal, Lane Kiffin Tweets(7:59-12:02) Andy's Column relating Alabama's Current Position to Michigan(12:03-16:44) Caitlin Clark and a Court Rush(16:45-37:53) Pete Nakos Joins(37:54-40:48) Early Top Games of 2024(40:49-1:01:13) Nick De La Torre on Florida's NCAA Investigation(1:01:14-1:02:41) Conclusion - Tennessee in the portalThe transfer portal doesn't take weekends off, and neither does On3's Pete Nakos. He joins Andy to discuss former Alabama quarterback signee Julian Sayin committing to Ohio State on Sunday. Sayin joins former Alabama safety Caleb Downs, a freshman All-America selection who committed to the Buckeyes on Friday. The Buckeyes, who also just hired Bill O'Brien to run the offense, are not playing around in 2024.Andy and Pete also talk about whether what has happened at Alabama should inform what Michigan does if Jim Harbaugh winds up leaving for the NFL. Is promoting offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore an even smarter move if an outside search means the roster could get picked apart?Before Pete joins, Andy points out that what happened to Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark during Sunday's court-storming after Ohio State upset the Hawkeyes is exactly why some leagues have been trying to make rules to curb court/field storming. Andy isn't necessarily in favor of those rule, but he is in favor of some common sense.Later, Nick De La Torre of On3's Gators Online joins to discuss the NCAA investigation at Florida, which has been going on since last summer. The NCAA is looking into the situation involving former Florida quarterback signee Jaden Rashada. What does this mean going forward for the Gators and for coach Billy Napier?Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube!https://youtube.com/live/ZR9ZdhOiLTY

Ari Wasserman of The Athletic joins Andy to discuss the idea that the Superteam Era might be over. Michigan's win against Alabama showed that a team that doesn't stack top-five recruiting classes can beat one that does when a national title shot is on the line.That probably wasn't true five years ago, but changes in the sport (transfer rules, NIL) have made it possible to build a deep roster without being a perennial high school recruiting juggernaut.That brings up an interesting question. With the 12-team College Football Playoff starting next season, how many teams will enter the season with a real chance at making a national title run. It's a LOT more than it would have been in 2019. Today's show is sponsored by PrizePicks, the easiest way to play daily fantasy.

Bond said Alabama players were not allowed to watch practice video on their individual tablets — just with their teammates and position coaches at the team facility.
