College Sports Now ·

2025/10/10

Want to know why Felder has had the week from hell? Well ... did you watch what happened in Chapel Hill last weekend? We're still dealing with the fallout from UNC and no one is fielding more calls on the matter than our guy Felder. So, too, is our guest today Chip Patterson (CBS Sports, Cover 3 Podcast), who lives down the street from the smoldering tire fire that is UNC football but also covers the sport nationally for CBS. What does Chip think is going to happen with some of these big games

The UCLA ban has been lifted

College Sports Now ·

2025/10/08

We're not not going to let Wayne talk about his alma mater because, well, it IS the biggest upset of the college football season. Cookie had a front-row seat on the sidelines of the Rose Bowl this past Saturday when UCLA did the thing, so Hartzell wanted to ask about how it all went down. How did Nico turn from the pumpkin into the prince? And how did Jerry Neuheisel draw all that wizardry up with just four days prep before Penn State came to town? Wayne has all the answers. You know who else

As the world turns in the ACC - with Roddy Jones

College Sports Now ·

2025/10/07

It's not just the ACC that gets covered in today's show, but let's just say it's ACC heavy. Roddy was in Chapel Hill over the weekend, he saw what everyone else did with Clemson's come-uppance and UNC's lack of, well, everything. Tough scene but hey, basketball season starts soon Tar Heel fans. What did Roddy make of the Miami/FSU showdown? We go back to the big screen for some film study and highlight what the Canes were doing so well (and who, specifically, they were doing it against for FSU)

Week 6 is upon us, kids. Who better to get you set for the weekend than Felder and Hartzell - but no Tripp today because the Doc is OUT for the afternoon. We got the Felder Five (TM) plus Nicole Auerbach from NBC Sports joins the show to talk about the Big Ten. Fallout from the Penn State/Oregon thriller last weekend, plus where does James Franklin and Co. go from here? If OSU, Oregon, and Indiana are the top tier of B1G football, what does that second tier look like? And why aren't we talking

Wayne lost the Ryder Cup bet (again) ... plus the...

College Sports Now ·

2025/10/01

Just like Europe went on the road and won a Ryder Cup in hostile territory last weekend, there was some elite quarterback play on the road from a handful of guys who get praise on today's show. Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, Ty Simpson, and CJ Carr all had to get it done away from home - and just like Europe - they did the thing. Don't worry, this is not a golf show. Far from it. Wayne empties the notebook on his observations from the good quarterback play (and the bad - see Drew Allar), plus we get

Why isn't College Gameday going to Tallahassee?

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/30

On the surface it's a simple question, but what does it really say about the ACC when two of your power brands are hooking up in a primetime game and instead you're getting passed over for Alabama versus ... wait for it ... Vanderbilt? Lots of reaction from the weekend that was with Roddy, Hartzell, and Tripp. The Doc is obviously still butt-hurt about his 'Noles losing in somewhat controversial fashion (atleast according to Tripp), plus plenty of other observations from the ACC (GT/Wake, VT/NC

Felder Friday - buckle up, kids

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/26

You got twelve ranked teams hitting the road this weekend and there is a potential for Friday and Saturday to get off the rails. We got a lot to talk about on the show - including the Felder Five - where we dive into some of these monster games. Penn State hosting Oregon, Georgia taking on Alabama, and LSU at Ole Miss, just to name a few. All that AND the Ryder Cup going at the same time makes for a busy sports weekend and we're here for it.

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/24

Yeah there's some golf talk on the show today. Sorry not sorry. Wayne had to send Hartzell a dozen golf balls two years ago and the wager is back on the table for Bethpage which starts on Friday morning. There's also copious amounts of college football talk because Tuesday was a busy day for the news cycle; there's another P4 job opening (in Stillwater), and the Heisman race just got flipped on its head because John Mateer is going to miss a few weeks after hand surgery. The guys talk about all

Is Miami the best team in the country?

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/23

According to Roddy Jones the answer is emphatically yes that Miami is the best team in the Southeast. Hartzell says no ... and Tripp is just here to see a good fight. Does winning road games factor into this equation at all? Because if so Miami has yet to leave their backyard. That's got to count, right? A spirited debate ensues with the fellas. Plus Roddy's takeaways from the weekend in Oxford, talking ball with Lane Kiffin and where Ole Miss projects as a top-tier SEC team this season

Week 4 is upon us and don't let these folks fool you, we are NOT a quarter of the way through the college football season. Far from it. Plenty to talk about this week including the Felder Five (TM) which does not shy away from the big games. Felder is full of metaphors today - including why Georgia is like a bacon cheeseburger, and which college team has big front porch energy because they can't close at the end of the date. Tripp and Hartzell are back with another round of picks but the real

Hartzell has fled the pod for a night to see his beloved Phish in concert - yes the title of this episode has two song references in it.Phil Brame steps in to hear from Wayne Cook on the heels of the end of the Deshaun Foster era in Westwood while Brent Pry was also shown the door in Blacksburg. From there we thankfully have some fantastic week three games to review with Wayne before Phil Steele drops by with his view of the lines for week four.

Week three is upon us and we got some big boy football games on the docket. After a brief recap of NC State's win at Wake Forest on Thursday night (nice job, Pack) the fellas dive into the dance card for this weekend, including the Felder Five and some detailed analysis on UGA/UT, A&M/ND, and UF/LSU. For whatever reason Felder thinks we need to watch out for Purdue (as a 3-TD underdog) against USC ... and also Wisconsin (as a 3-TD underdog) going on the road to Alabama. What is this man

Look, the Bruins are 0-2 and in times like these you find out who your real friends are. Hartzell sits Wayne down to let him know he's in a nest in a tree of trust and CSN is a safe place. There are no Dan Mullen's or Kyle Whittingham's here. You can trust this place. So after a brief - but necessary - therapy session, the fellas get into talking about real, actual college football with teams that aren't 0-2. Phil Steele joins the show as he always does to run through the week 3 card, including

ACC had a pretty dicey week 2 at the office, and we're going to talk about it. Roddy Jones knows the league better than most, so what did he make of SMU, Va Tech, Duke, and Clemson from the weekend? Tripp is back with another dose of 'best thing/worst thing/thing that shocked you' from the weekend and the fellas go coast-to-coast with some reactions from these games. What does Roddy think of Clemson's lackluster effort against Troy and what does it mean for this weekend when the Tigers head down
