Feast Week - with Roddy Jones & Wayne Cook

College Sports Now ·

2025/11/25

So much going on with today's show, and we mean that in a good way. For starters, we got Roddy AND Wayne to walk us through this massive rivalry week of games and look back on the weekend that was. Lock Dizzle is back with week 13 takeaways, as well as a look at the nine P4 jobs that are currently open thanks to Cal parting ways with Justin Wilcox on Sunday. Roddy & Wayne have fond memories about what this week means to them as former players and alums (who know all about what it means to

Felder Friday + Lock Dizzle

College Sports Now ·

2025/11/21

Week 13 of the college football season is upon us and the fellas are navigating through some brackish waters with a mixed bag of games this weekend. Folks are saying this is a down weekend because obviously the final week is loaded but there's still plenty to jump into. The Lock Doctor has re-branded himself because he's 1-5 in his last two weeks, total free-fall mode. Hartzell is also coming off a rough weekend of picks but still leads the overall standings. Felder is fired up because

College Sports Now ·

2025/11/21

On the first show of the season Rob Joyce predicted Duke would make the Final Four. It hasn't aged great, and he's in his feelings about it, with a large donut to help him calm down. Aside from that, he and Megan Gauer recap all the other happenings from the week - nice wins Iowa and St. John's! - and preview a fun week to come with UConn-Michigan, USC-Notre Dame and the Players Era all going on next week. Then they wrap the show with by drafting teams solely made up of LSU players.See Privacy

CFP rankings reaction + Phil Steele's week 13 preview

College Sports Now ·

2025/11/19

New rankings dropped Tuesday night, so you know we had to jump in with some takes. Wayne's actually not that outraged, given his history in these types of shows. Should there be 5 SEC teams in the field? Committee says yes. Bad news for the ACC and potentially the Big 12 but there's still a lot of football left to be played over the next three weeks. Hartzell gets sappy about the G5 and what the committee gave us in the 20-25 bunch at the bottom of the polls. This is, after all, the same

James Franklin is back + now or never for Rodstra

Virginia Tech has a new football coach and as luck would have it we got one of the ACC's best in Roddy Jones to help us unpack what it means to the fine folks in Blacksburg. How do we think this is going to go? Roddy breaks it down for us, plus we got our weekly takeaways (best thing, worst thing, thing that shocked us) from the weekend. Rodstra has been treading water lately with the picks but if he doesn't buck up and string together a couple of winning weeks on the way outta here we're going

Is UCLA the best team in the country + an all-time...

2025/11/14

UCLA notched two double-digit neutral-site victories over Oklahoma and UNC - are the Bruins the best team in the country? Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce talk UCLA, some notable other happenings from the week (USC over NC State, how many steals from Hannah Hidalgo??, a super fun Fairfield-USF game in Vegas). They preview the weekend ahead with some big-time Saturday matchups in Detroit (Michigan-Notre Dame) and LA (USC-South Carolina) and they wrap the show by each picking an all-time Baylor team (45:15

It's Friday so you know what that means - Felder Friday is locked and loaded with a preview of what's coming up this weekend. The gang gets into some CFP rankings reaction; what it means for each conference, and a reminder to chill out with the hot takery because we still got three weeks left in the regular season (it's going to sort itself out, people). Felder Five (TM) is spicy as always, including some spirited debate on a big Saturday in the SEC: how many points is Ole Miss going to hang on a

CFP Rankings Reaction + Phil Steele's week 12 preview

College Sports Now ·

2025/11/12

Pretty busy show when you consider Wayne Cook and Stephen Hartzell are reacting almost immediately after the CFP rankings drop on Tuesday night. There's finally a G5 team in the poll (!) but somehow Tennessee is still ranked (?) so it's not all roses. There are takes, disagreements, and enthusiasm on both sides of the aisle from Wayne and Hartzell, but that's what we're here for, right? Phil Steele even offers his Playoff take before launching into a 30-minute run through the week 12 top-25 card

Fraud watch & quit warnings

2025/11/11

Roddy Jones has a house full of sick kids (one of which you'll hear from), Hartzell has two boys who are out of school for Veteran's Day, and Tripp is ... missing ... for the first 30 minutes of the show. Once Tripp does arrive, a fight ensues over the Indiana/Penn State game and what may (or may not) have been said on the TV broadcast. There's plenty of ACC discussion, including Roddy's trip to Charlottesville to watch Wake ruin Virginia's dream season, plus thoughts on fraudulent Louisville and

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. Felder has some choice words (and expletives) about Indiana not being ranked #1 in the CFP. 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

The season is four days old, and there are actual real-life games to discuss! Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce recap some of the notable results from the opening week, some good (NC State-Tennessee!) some ugly (Baylor-Duke). They also bounce around and find some things they liked, some things they disliked and give their now annual "opening week of the season hot takes".

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

Predict the CFP ... and what now, YouTube TV...

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.
