The College Football Playoff predictions are flying this episode as we conclude a weekend full of upsets.
Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s Power Two Podcast. On this show, we talk about Big Ten and SEC football… and everyone else. This show is for the die-hard fans and the casual college football fans.
After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the major matchups of the previous weekend and look ahead at the games, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week.
My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host DaNaysia Jones. Lock in as we run a power sweep through the college football landscape.
The coaching carousel continues as Jordan and DJ rattle off all the firings that have occurred up until now. Most of the coaching changes have occurred in the Group of Five, but there are still questions about where these schools will source their successors. Plus, Ashton Jeanty hits the 2,000-yard mark this season and further cements himself as a Heisman Trophy favorite.
This week was a chaotic one! Six upsets and seven ranked teams losing stirs the postseason pot. Many teams that were deemed powerhouses at the beginning of the season are starting to crumble, while others emerge from under the radar. The SEC is going up in flames as more programs reach the dreaded three-loss threshold. It all comes down to the Texas-Texas A&M game to determine who will play for the SEC title.
The BIG 12 confusion still reigns supreme, as there is no clear title contender after 11 weeks of football. SMU and Oregon await their conference championship opponents. With a bruised and battered Jeanty, does Boise State have what it takes to win the Mountain West and punch their card to the playoffs?
The College Football Playoff is still in the air with only nine “guaranteed” teams. Jordan and DJ have an extensive discussion on who is currently “in” and “out”. Many factors will determine the final 12, and there is still lots of football to be played.
In the pregame power sweep, DJ and Jordan share some rivalry games and games of consequence. This week we suggest:
- Friday: Georgia-GT, Minnesota-Wisconsin, Oregon State-Boise
- Saturday, Noon: Ohio State-Michigan, South Carolina-Clemson
- Saturday, Mid-Day: Notre Dame-USC, Miami-Syracuse, Auburn-Bama
- Saturday, Primetime: Texas-Texas A&M.
The two-minute warning consists of Jordan discussing the NWSL champion and Kendrick Lamar’s new album. DJ discusses Wicked and The Jefferson Monticello.
