Don't be made at Coach Prime for ruining the story ... and possibly the entire evening. Regardless of if it happened or not, the fact we cannot immediately refute the entire Colorado football team being forced to watch Shedeur Sanders open up for Lil Wayne against their will is the reason John Buhler and Cody Williams were put on Earth to make this…

Which college football quarterbacks should be top of mind coming into the 2024 season? And which will be by the end of the year?

Plus, Eli Drinkwitz was shredding in a Brian Kelly-esque recruiting video, Ryan Day is a "walking excuse", which CFB coaches would pull a Dan…

Paul Finebaum is an absolute legend! His meticulously calculated, but visceral takedown over Urban Meyer when compared to Nick Saban was about as good as it gets. Well done, sir! You cooked him, bruh. As the remnants of Meyer continue to cook in a Runza parking lot, Lane Kiffin says you can't spell Citrus Bowl without U-T. Yes, the Ole Miss head co…

Who are the locks to make the 2024-25 College Football Playoff? The almost locks? The wild cards?

Plus, Kadyn Proctor opened up about his brief return home to Iowa before transferring back to Alabama, Bryan Harsin offered u…

Tyler Buchner is absolutely in his bag, dawg. After transferring back to Notre Dame from Alabama to play lacrosse, the newest lax bro national champion wants to walk onto the Fighting Irish's football team ... as a receiver.

The SEC converged in Destin over Memorial Day Weekend.

Plus, Jim Harbaugh might've stayed at Michigan if not for Warde Manuel, TNT is getti…

We are so living in a simulation, brother. With Scottie Scheffler getting arrested outside of Valhalla Golf Glub in Louisville ahead of round two of the PGA Championship, the guys tried to figure out what college football head coaches are most likely to suffer the same fate of being so anonymous looking. Dabo Swinney would honestly probably rather …

The dang vidya games... Yes, EA Sports has given us an EA College Football 25 deluxe edition cover to talk about, one that may or may not have the right six college stars prominently featured on it.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are the lightning rod in a hurricane of the college football offseason and the transfer portal, with the social media receipts to prove it. Meanwhile, former Florida State and now-Bills receiver Keon Coleman is blaming... checks notes... Georgia (?) for the Seminoles' hapless plight in the CFP. Plus, the spr…

We could stomach one last slice of pumpkin pie. While Mel Kiper Jr. can never get his fill of pumpkin pie filling for breakfast, the guys tied a bow on what was an eventful 2024 NFL Draft for everyone involved.

The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is now in the books and we're breaking down the our favorite picks in the Top 32 along with our head-scratchers and a whole category of its own going to Buhler's Atlanta Falcons leaving everyone shocked and appalled by picking Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8. Plus, Jaden Rashada portaled to Athens as the Georgia QB …

A promise is a promise. Jim Harbaugh is a man of his word, and got the cheapest Michigan 15-0 championship tattoo $110 can buy. He may be a champion, but Jerry Kill has better arm ink, bruh. Deion Sanders is getting lapped by Joey McGuire in the Big 12 recruiting race. The man won't leave Boulder, resulting in his sons to recruit players over socia…

You've been served, Michigan! The attention you ordered was a grease-soaked bag of hamburgers carrying a three-year probationary period. Just wait until the monkey's out of the bottle with regards to the sign-stealing scandal. Pandora doesn't go back in the box, Coach Prime. He only comes out! More and more players are getting out of Dodge in Bould…

The Spring Transfer Portal window is open in college football, and Kalen DeBoer has to have Alabama working the lines in the worst way for the Crimson Tide to compete atop the SEC. And in the Big Ten, Ryan Day thinks Ohio State is closer to glory than they've actually been -- maybe he's just making excuses? Plus, the SEC lied to Texas A&M and littl…

Hello, friends. And welcome to an episode unlike any other. It's Masters week, so we're comparing the favorites at Augusta to college football programs. We also dive into the spring transfer window, which already has drama with USC DL Bear Alexander and Oregon State RB Damien Martinez. Plus, big updates out of spring practice for LSU with the secon…

Are you buying what Drake Maye is selling? Maye may be Cody Williams' guy but he is one of the most polarizing quarterbacks prospects in this draft. John Buhler may not love the guy, but he's certainly no Merril Hoge. While Caitlin Clark was the best thing to ever happen to Iowa Hawkeyes' women's basketball, Brian Ferentz was the worst thing to eve…

The College Football Super League has a proposal and it's... way better than you're probably thinking. And hey, maybe that will get Washington State back into the forefront of CFB! Braulio Perez, our guest for the week, sure hopes so. Plus, DJ Burns might somehow be a legitimate NFL Draft prospect as a basketball player, Bo Nix ain't about this SEC…

Chris Low knows all the right people in all the right places. The noted ESPN college football writer got an exclusive Q&A with Georgia head coach Kirby Smart. It is certainly worth the read, as it is dissecting all the breadcrumbs he left. Michael Penix Jr. had a great Pro Day at Washington. While he should be a first-round pick, not everyone is th…

Nick Saban is retired from Alabama, but not from figuring out how to be a human being thanks to the Ten Commandments of Ms. Terry, including how to send an email. Meanwhile, another former college coach and national champion, Jim Harbaugh, is starting his Chargers career living in an RV with Greg Roman. Because of course he is. Plus, the J.J. McCar…

Why "pull an Eli" when you can do it twice? That might be the ace (or two) Deion Sanders has up his sleeve regarding his son Shedeur Sanders and fellow Colorado football star Travis Hunter's NFL futures. Eli Manning's NFL legacy is complicated, but Coach Prime reads from the Book of Eli. Bad things always come in threes, as Georgia had a no good, v…

And Kalen DeBoer is earning the bag getting Proctor back as Bama's $10 million man. Plus, J.T. Daniels is college football's Van Wilder and won't leave the sport, Troy Dannen only spe…

There is only one way to fill out a March Madness bracket. While Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) is a college basketball savant, having grown up in North Carolina and all, John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) is an absolute stooge buffoon with these sort of shooty hoops shenanigans. Because they are ... them, the guys decided to fil…

Nick Saban talked NIL and the future of college football on Capitol Hill, but the Alabama legend didn't bat 1.000 in his takes in front of Congress. And in the future, the College Football Playoff will expand again, this time to 14 teams, which could quite drastically change the sport's postseason. Plus, Trev Alberts is leaving his alma mater at Ne…

Greg Byrne wants everyone to know that Alabama hiring Kalen DeBoer was so good. The fact he is overselling us on the former Washington head coach leads us to believe that he could be set up to underdeliver. We wonder what is to come for the Alabama program. With Drew Pyne transferring to Missouri, he could be the quarterback of the future in CoMo w…

Texas backup QB Arch Manning doesn't want distractions like being in EA College Football 25 and getting $600. How in the world did the Manning camp think this was a good idea? We also break down On3's Andy Staples proposal for a 48-team College Football Super League with our likes, dislikes, and overall vibes. Plus, Zach Arnett flips sides in the E…

So the NFL Scouting Combine happened... As expected, Texas WR Xavier Worthy was fast and his DL teammate T'Vondre Sweat tipped the scales. But what wasn't expected was UGA WR Ladd McConkey looking more like Garrett Wilson than Hunter Renfrow ever wish he could. Also, Amarius Mims looked like a Greek god spitting gospel to us mortal peasants about h…

The chefs at the Big Ten and SEC already have the preliminary plans for a 14-team College Football Playoff cooking, but what will that mean and what are the potential pitfalls (and advantages too!)? Kalen DeBoer is changing one big thing Nick Saban always had in place at Alabama, while Kirby Smart's Georgia program could be mimicked in Atlanta with…

The NFL Combine is this week! With the 2024 NFL Draft right around the corner, the guys took a look at some potential risers and fallers up and down draft boards. Now that Tennessee won its case vs. the NCAA, expect for the spring transfer portal window to be wilder than Wild, Wild West. Also, Barry Odom is going to grab life by the horns and ride …

For the time being, the 12-team, 5+7 format will be all the rage when it comes to the College Football Playoff. Putting together a way, way-too-early 12-team field was as fun as it was challenging. We can only hope that even more CFP expansion doesn't happen within the next few years? Also, Lincoln Riley and Kenny Dillingham had quotes for the ages…

Steve Sarkisian got paid like a man ready to finance his own country in Texas. And the Longhorns show up on our best additions of the 2024 college football transfer portal. Plus, False Start turns 50 like Steve Spurrier playing the Dawgs, so we celebrate the legend of the Old Ball Coach. Georgia State found its new head coach and he definitely list…

So Shawn Elliott doesn't want to be a G5 head coach anymore? By leaving Georgia State to be a position coach at South Carolina the coaching carousel is back open. It is the middle of February. This is never going to end. With DeShaun Foster having now taken over at UCLA, the guys unpack if he will have success leading the Bruins in the new Big Ten.…

The college football coaching carousel somehow continues to move in February as Bill O'Brien goes to Boston College, and Ohio State replacing him with Chip Kelly. That UCLA vacancy at head coach was then filled by DeShaun Foster live during recording, so we had to break it all down. Plus, the Super Bowl showed a Power 5 blueprint working to perfect…

Nick Saban will still be in our lives on college football Saturdays. The iconic former head coach of Alabama and LSU will be sitting next to the guys on the College GameDay studio set for ESPN. It should be a good time, aight. Also, Sherrone Moore using the word "think" when describing Michigan's innocence in the on-going sign-stealing investigatio…

So Bill O'Brien really wants to take over at Boston College, huh? Ohio State's new offensive coordinator may want to go back to his native Massachusetts to coach a team that Jeff Hafley gave up on. This is actually a great fit for both parties, if the dollars make sense... Plus, the Big Ten and SEC gave themselves even more power to determine the f…

Jeff Hafley shocked the college football world, leaving as Boston College's head coach to be the new Green Bay Packers DC. What does this mean for BC, who replaces him and more? Meanwhile, Tennessee and Virginia legislators are coming for the NCAA's neck with the Vols under another investigation, this time regarding Nico Iamaleava. What could the e…

Sherrone is taking over at Michigan, but he may not have the best ingredients to keep Michigan's Michelin 3-star restaurant open for long. Dan Lanning is never going to leave the Oregon Ducks ever. Plus, Kalen DeBoer starts a war with fellow non-southerner SEC rival Brian Kelly over fake accents and such. Also, the guys try to keep it tight by expl…

Jim Harbaugh officially left Michigan for the NFL -- and now Sherrone Moore, as expected, is replacing him. Will he follow in the footsteps of his predecessor or trip up? The transfer portal is now open again for Michigan players with Harbaugh gone. Who could be the hottest commodities? Will Rogers isn't as he returns to Washington, and Gunner Gund…

Jim Harbaugh won a natty with Michigan and now seemingly has a hefty market to add a Super Bowl to his resumé -- but where will he go, and how with the coaching carousel keep turning. Alabama has their coach in Kalen DeBoer but the Crimson Tide are bleeding their own blood in the transfer portal, and Florida State is reaping many benefits. Plus, th…

This is 40! Our 40th episode of False Start was packed to the brim with some delicious content. Kalen DeBoer has left Washington to take over at Alabama upon Nick Saban's retirement. It did not take long for Troy Dannen to find a replacement for DeBoer at U-Dub, as he was able to pry Jedd Fisch away from Arizona. While J.J. McCarthy has decided to …

Nick Saban, the GOAT of college football coaching, has retired. Where does Alabama go next after his dynastic run with the Crimson Tide, and what could that mean for the rest of the sport? Plus, more coaching carousel talk with Jim Harbaugh, Mike Vrabel and more that could still take shape to shake up the CFB world. Then, we play out the NFL Playof…

The victors were victorious! Michigan just won its first national championship since 1997 on Monday night by giving Washington all it could handle. Jim Harbaugh finally got to be a champion, but will this be the last game he coached at his alma mater? The NFL beckons. Former Ole Miss RB Quinshon Judkins loved him some Columbus, Ohio so much that he…
