Sixth Year Seniors

Winning on the road is tougher than ever, as Arizona, Auburn, Colorado State and numerous other ranked teams have learned this year. Without football, Saturday has wall-to-wall super games. And Friday's Big 10 marketing gimmick has a name.

Kansas and Duke both fall on a glorious day of college basketball. Blake Hinson dances on tables, middle fingers are as common as double-digit comebacks, and fans mock the weather to see their favorite teams. Plus, where else will you get information on IUPUI, Detroit and Mississippi Valley State?

 Three final unbeatens take losses after the New Year, and the top three in the nation combine this week for four losses. Who's going up (Nebraska, North Carolina and Stanford) and who's going down (Florida Atlantic, Gonzaga and Colorado State), among a massive college basketball recap. 

Michigan prevails in the national title game despite home-grown Harbaugh controversies. Nick Saban retires after ruining college football. and the game will never be the same.

Real work got in the way. We'll be back early next week with thoughts on Michigan's title, Nick Saban's retirement and a ton of college basketball.

Millions of viewers saw a pair of fourth-down stops advance Michigan and Washington.  Can Michael Penix work his magic against the Wolverines?  An underwhelming bowl undercard was supported by edible marketing campaigns, but a future expanded playoff may be the end of the bowl season. Plus, whip around the basketball court to catch up on holiday happenings.

 The Big 12 gained the most from football realignment, and could put 10 teams in the NCAA tournament. The Pac-12 has Arizona and possibly no one else. The ACC has reputation issues from the past few years. St. Mary's could knock off Gonzaga in the West Coast. And more Cinderellas in Grand Canyon, Princeton and McNeese State. 

Transitive property tells us Chicago State is better than Purdue, so the 2024 college basketball season is wide open. We discuss potential Cinderellas like Purdue-Fort Wayne and Indiana State, unbeaten James Madison, a redesigned American, and whether depth means title aspirations for the Big 10 or the SEC.

Measuring portal transfers and opt outs turns into a mass of underdogs and overs for the final week of the bowl season.

Purdue regains the #1 ranking by beating Arizona in a game that did not help Peacock. Houston is unbeaten, in the Big 12 and still disrespected. In fact, Mikey either predicts the Cougars demise or national title victory. Michigan State saves its season with an upset of Baylor. And Connecticut is still pretty good.

Transfer portal and opt-outs gone crazy. How are we supposed to give our listeners guaranteed winners for bowl games a week from now? Oh, we try...

Making the college bowl season better with common sense, logic and lots of pettiness. Plus thoughts on Bronny James' debut and Jayden Daniels' Heisman.

The playoff committee proved that conference recognition and network money runs college football. Florida State was right to threaten to leave the ACC in August. Plus, we review all the crazy bowl shenanigans--like edible mascots. And we talk a bit of hoops for good measure.

Championship Weekend will decide the final four teams left to fight for the national title. We have Mortgage Plays on the final Pac-12 title game and the SEC matchup. And we're on opposite sides of the Big 10 and Mountain West contests. We're making money!

Bask in the final rivalry week that means anything. Next year, both Michigan and Ohio State make the playoffs. Next year, Texas showing SEC scores won't mean anything. Next year, well, maybe Virginia Tech turns the sprinklers on Virginia and it will mean something. So much pettiness.

In the final week of the regular season, it's all about who cares, who needs style points and who needs wins.

Florida State loses its quarterback. Could they also lose a playoff birth without losing a game? Washington keeps winning and proving Vegas wrong. Michigan and Ohio State finally settles all the pettiness on the field. Auburn paid nearly $2 million to get beat by New Mexico State. And thoughts on our scumbag, Draymond Green.

Can we interest you in an eight-way tie for the Big 12 title? Bats in Nevada? Mortgage Plays in the Big 10? And two of the strangest lines with conference title implications.

Michigan doesn't miss a beat despite missing Jim Harbaugh.  The Big 12 gets crazy, and suddenly we have the greatest Matrix of Doom ever with two weeks to go. Numerous teams--including Some Team--leave their fans drinking Clorox. And Texas A&M boosters pony up for the largest buyout in college football history.

Day late, dollars short. But still throwing out free guaranteed winners. Mortgage Plays on Michigan/Penn State and Texas Tech/Kansas.
