Rich Rodriguez, former and now new, head coach at West Virginia joins David and Chris on Until Saturday! Rich Rod talks about the Pat White and Pat McAfee WVU teams, playoff bids, flirting with the Alabama job, his time as Michigan's coach (and donating hundreds of dollars worth of Michigan gear to Salvation Army), his reunion in Morgantown, and much more!
Who are the college football breakout stars in 2025? David Ubben, Chris Vannini, and Damien Harris draft the players with the greatest potential to burst out onto the scene this season (like Texas' Arch Manning and Oregon's Dante Moore)! Plus, the ACC is safe...for now; the end of the CFP committee may be nearing; Colorado and Deion's completely normal recruiting cycle & One Cool Thing.
College football coaches, executives, and GMs opined, on the promise of anonymity, about the CFB transfer portal to The Athletic. David Ubben and Chris Vannini welcome Sam Khan Jr., who helped report and author the aforementioned CFB staffers' thoghts, onto Until Saturday. Who landed the best QB? Who won the portal? How much does a DE, QB, RB, and other positions cost? Plus, the ACC, Clemson & FSU saga may be nearing its end, do CFB's new rules matter, Texas dominated the NFL Combine, and coin toss mania takes over CBB.
Is Clemson the College Football champion front-runner? The Tigers rank #1 in ESPN's Bill Connelly's returning production, but the metric is far more nuanced than a ranking. David, Chris, and Bill discuss Dabo's squad, Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona State, and others' returning production, and what it means for their title hopes. Before Bill joins the show, Chris recaps the CFP meeting, and he and David chat Jim Nagy to Oklahoma. Plus, Kirby Smart takes a shot at Johnny Manziel.
