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.

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. We got Zach Berry from AtoZSports in the house with us

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

Felder Friday - these seedlings still need water

2025/09/19

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.

Felder Friday - What about these B1G dogs?

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/12

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

It's not your fault, Wayne

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/10

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

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/09

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

Felder Friday - Has the lock been picked?

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/05

You guys already know the drill by now; on Fridays, we bring in Felder to talk ball alongside Hartzell and the Doc. No guest today because we got beaucoup games to break down and talk through. The Felder Five is loaded, plus Hartzell has some 'and-1' games that not enough people are talking about. Picks segment gets spicy because the so-called Lock Doctor either can't get his prescriptions filled or maybe the lock has been broken. Either way, the big fella needs to get back on track after a

Week Two Preview with Phil Steele - And why is Wayne...

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/03

Wayne's alma mater lost 43-10 last Saturday so we all know why he's cranky. But the real story is how well Devon Dampier played - so we ask Wayne to hand out some grades from notable week 1 QB performances and Professor Cook hands out some pretty lofty grades all things considered. Phil Steele swings by for his run-through of the week 2 card, including the real main event on Friday night between Louisville and JMU. Wayne and Hartzell talk Alabama, Michigan, and Oklahoma on the way out the door.

We all saw the same thing Monday night. UNC is down bad. Let's move on, no need to beat that into the ground for the full show. What did Roddy think about LSU's win at Clemson? Texas' slow start at the 'Shoe? Notre Dame going down in a close game in South Florida? We got a lot to get to and not a ton of time (because Hartzell actually works for a living ... supposedly). Tripp gets his victory lap because the Noles are back? People are saying. Some of the West coast, late-night QB play from

It's happening, people. The loaded slate of games that is Week One starts tomorrow and doesn't stop until Monday night in Chapel Hill. The only question now is, do you enough Diet Mountain Dew like Phil Steele does to get you through all these games? Phil stops by for a 30-minute jaunt through the dance card, plus offers some thoughts on value plays outside of the top 25 - which involve the MAC so I highly suggest you tune in for those.
