Joe Rexrode, national college football writer for The Athletic, joined the show to unpack everything from the broken calendar to the transfer portal, coaching changes, recruiting pressure, and what needs to happen to clean up the system. They also ran through the teams that have the best shot at a deep playoff run and the players who could shape the postseason.

The episode wrapped with what is hot at TicketBash, the SportsBash poll question of the day, and a birthday shoutout for Bradley Schwartz.
