College Sports Now ·

2025/11/07

Felder Friday edition of the show to get you ready for the week 11 slate and we got the whole crew (despite some health issues for Hartzell and Tripp), so the gang has assembled to talk ball and break down these games.

You're going to want to hear that plus the full Felder Five with other takes on Georgia/Miss State, Oregon at Iowa, and whether or not this is the week we finally put Missouri to bed for the

Wayne's CFP reaction + Phil Steele's week 11 preview

College Sports Now ·

2025/11/05

You know you need Wayne Cook's CFP reaction in your life...and today you're going to get it. Hartzell & Cookie both drop some fresh out of the oven takes on what the committee gave us last night with the initial Playoff rankings. While it's nice that there's teams in the 20's that still have a path to the promised land, not having ANY G5 teams listed while a 3-loss Tennessee was occupying the last spot was - according to one of the guys - mildly insulting. Still, though, we press on. Plenty

College Sports Now ·

2025/11/04

The entire CSN crew got absolutely hosed last weekend because we're all YouTube TV subscribers, and the group is still looking for answers for how to watch these college games. Roddy works for ESPN so you know he'll be ok. But what about Hartzell and Tripp (and you - the listener)?! Thankfully there's an app for your phone that solves this dilemma and - unlike ESPN Unlimited - is free! Plenty to unpack from the week 10 slate including Roddy's trip to SMU where we saw Miami's playoff hopes die.

UCLA went on the road and lost by 50 over the weekend, so you know what that means. The moratorium is back, baby. There will be no Bruins football talk on the show today, unless it's to gush over their opponent from this past Saturday (Indiana) or the guy that Hartzell thinks would be a great fit to take the coaching reigns in Westwood (his initials are BK). Wayne gives us his thoughts on the head coaching search and who he wants to see take the gig. Phil Steele stops by for his normal 30-minute

Roddy Jones weighs in on what he saw first-hand with Miami over the weekend, plus is he finally ready to buy on Texas A&M as a championship contender? The coaching vacancy list continues to

The UCLA ban is still lifted because the Bruins are hot. So, too, is that other B1G school in Los Angeles who also got right against another Michigan school over the weekend.
