Show notes

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the college football playoff. They start with Indiana’s blowout of Alabama and Colin explains why Curt Cignetti’s coaching has produced a Hoosier team that’s great in every facet of the game (2:00). They also break down what makes Fernando Mendoza such a great quarterback (9:45). They move to Oregon dominating Texas Tech and Colin highlights the talent discrepancy between the two teams and they agree that this young Oregon roster is going to be even better next year (18:15). They recap Miami’s thumping of Ohio State and Colin predicts the Hurricanes will meet Indiana in the championship game. They credit Mario Cristobal’s recruiting prowess for building a physically imposing roster full of NFL talent (25:45). They preview the semifinal round and make their predictions for those games (37:00). Finally, they discuss USC’s loss to TCU and Colin argues Lincoln Riley should be on the hot seat next season for failing to develop a defense during his tenure (38:00).
