  • Episode- 172 $45 Million Price Tag, Venables' Blueprint, Historic Tunnel Controversy
    2025/11/20
    The $45 Million Price Tag: Venables' Blueprint, Kiffin Bowl Drama, and the Historic Tunnel Controversy

    📝 Show Description

    Host Anthony Smith is In The Zone to break down a chaotic Week 12 that redefined the College Football Playoff picture and exposed the financial stakes of the modern game.

    This week's CFB Blitz episode dives into:

    * CFP Chaos: Oklahoma's Brent Venables proves he has the blueprint for beating Alabama, handing the Tide a devastating loss and shining an uncomfortable spotlight on their running game. Plus, why Georgia is a virtual CFP lock and why we can officially end the Texas hype.

    * The $45 Million Question: We analyze the stunning decision by Maryland to retain Coach Michael Locksley, focusing on the cold, hard economics. The move avoids a $13 million buyout and an estimated $32.7 million in losses, redirecting a nine-figure sum toward NIL and fiscal stability—a look at the new calculus of coaching.

    * The Tunnel Controversy: A deep dive into the shocking viral video from the Texas A&M/South Carolina game where a Texas LEO deliberately bumped a player. We discuss the "eye-sore" incident and the need for professionalism around the game.

    * Heisman Hype: Highlighting the week's most unique performance: Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, the two-way terror who demands an invite to New York.

    This is the ultimate breakdown of the chaos, the cash, and the controversies from the CFB gridiron.
