The penultimate college football rankings were released which saw Texas A&M drop to to #7 and the Alabama move up to #9 meaning it all comes down to Championship weekend for the bubble teams. How far will Alabama move up with a win and would they drop 1 spot with a loss, if BYU wins they are in but would they drop with a loss leaving Miami at 12? If BYU loses and Alabama wins does Miami move up now putting the head to head with Notre Dame as the deciding factor for the last at-large spot? So much on the line and McElroy is here to break it all down and answer your questions.

Alabama and Georgia meet again in Atlanta for the SEC championship game, does Alabama need to win it to stay alive in the CFP? Indiana will try to prove to everyone that they are just as good as Ohio State in the BIG 10 championship, while BYU looks for revenge (and a CFP spot) against Texas Tech in the BIG 12. McElroy breaks down every game on championship weekend and tells you why Virginia needs to win for the ACC and if not could James Madison and North Texas both get in with a win?

Lane Kiffin’s decision to leave Ole Miss for LSU sent a shockwave through college football, but it’s not the only storyline after the regular season ended. McElroy tells you the ripple effects of Kiffin in his Top 10 takeaways plus goes into why Ohio State is different this year, why the CFP bubble with Alabama, Notre Dame, Miami, BYU and Vanderbilt is incredible, reaction to the new coaching hires at Florida, Auburn, Arkansas and Ole Miss, why the CFB calendar needs to change sooner rather than later and much more.

The final week of the regular season didn’t deliver the chaos many thought it would, but was still incredible. Ohio State took down Michigan, Alabama and Georgia survived their rivalry games, while A&M did not, losing to Texas for their 1st loss of the season. Vanderbilt won 10 games for the first time ever, both Notre Dame and Miami won big and Oregon locked up a CFP spot by taking down Washington.

We have a HUGE weekend ahead of us! Ole Miss is fighting for a playoff spot while their coach flirts with LSU and Florida, Ohio State trying to beat Michigan for the first time since 2019, Texas A&M has to beat Texas to go undefeated in the regular season for the first time since 1992, Miami has to win AT Pittsburgh in 35 degree weather to TRY and make the CFP, Oregon must win at Washington to stay alive in the CFP and Alabama must win at Auburn to keep their CFP hopes alive. McElroy goes through every big game and gives you the questions that will determine all the big games.

The coaching carousel is the craziest we have ever seen in college football, with Lane Kiffin as the most desired coach since Nick Saban (or maybe Urban Meyer). Ole Miss is trying to keep him (in the middle of a historic run with the Rebels) while Florida and LSU are throwing everything they have at him. What will he do? McElroy uses his sources to tell you what he is hearing about Kiffin's future, plus goes into who has the inside track for the head coaching jobs at Penn State, Auburn, Arkansas, Oklahoma State, UCLA, Cal and Stanford.

Can Oklahoma’s offense do enough to win a CFP game, are we underrating Oregon as a complete team, will Arch Manning and the Texas offense be the great “what if” of 2025 and who could get two teams in the CFP - the BIG 12 or the ACC? McElroy gives you his Top 10 takeaways from the weekend and tells you why we need to reassess teams ranked 11-14, why Notre Dame’s dominance might not be enough, why he’s happy that the THIS SEC weekend is off the books and who is in the College Football Playoff

Utah survived at home vs Kansas State and kept their slim playoff hopes alive, Pitt jumped all over Georgia Tech ending the Yellowjacks ACC and CFP dreams, Miami and Oregon both won, while Notre Dame dominated Syracuse with a 63 point victory. Ohio State, Texas and Michigan all looked good in victory heading into the last week of the regular season and the defining weekend for the college football playoff. McElroy gives you his reaction on a chalky week 13.

With two weeks remaining in the college football regular season the new CFP rankings came out and saw Alabama drop to #10 and Miami move up to #13. Could the Tide miss the CFP with a loss in the SEC Championship, does Miami have to win BIG enough to jump BYU and Utah, is Notre Dame safe in the CFP at #9 and what if USC beats Oregon? McElroy gives his indepth reaction to the latest CFP rankings.

The pressure is on as the season winds down for teams in the middle of the CFP race. Oklahoma, fresh off a win at Alabama, heads to a dangerous Missouri team, while Miami is gearing up for a season-defining stretch that starts at Virginia Tech (we don’t think James Franklin will be on the sidelines). USC and Oregon will battle in Eugene with the winner having the inside track as the 3rd team from the BIG 10 in the CFP. Notre Dame and Utah look to avoid let downs at home while Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech fight for the top of the ACC and Cincinnati could throw the BIG 12 into chaos with an upset win at home over BYU.

Oklahoma is now in prime position to make the CFP for the first time since 2019, Georgia looks like they are peaking at the right time, Texas A&M continues to find ways to win and the SEC’s path to getting 5 teams in the CFP is becoming very clear. Plus, there were dominating performances from Ohio State, Indiana, Miami and Texas Tech. Notre Dame looks like a playoff team but they might not control their own destiny and the group 5 (and ACC) are still in chaos. McElroy breaks it all down in his Top 10 takeaways from Week 12.

What a Saturday in college football! Oklahoma took down Alabama at home, Georgia destroyed Texas, Texas A&M rallies from down 30-3 to stun South Carolina and keep their undefeated season alive and Ole Miss fights off a pesky Florida team to keep their CFP hopes alive. Plus, Notre Dame rolls Pitt, Ohio State and Indiana keep dominating, Michigan and USC survive and the ACC just keeps getting crazier.

The committee is favoring the eye test - is that a good or bad thing? McElroy goes through and breaks down the Top 25 telling you why Miami moving up is the right thing, what Utah has done for the BIG 12, why Indiana stayed at #2 and what might happen if Texas beats Georgia and Oklahoma beats Alabama. Plus does Notre Dame control their own destiny and could the ACC Champion be left OUT of the CFP?

There could be some CFP clarity after this weekend OR things could get even more convoluted. With GameDay in town, Pittsburgh will try to end Notre Dame’s CFP dreams as the Irish stand under the college football microscope, Texas heads to Georgia looking to keep their CFP hopes alive (even with a loss they could still beat A&M and make things VERY interesting), while Alabama welcomes Oklahoma to town a year after the Sooners ended the Tides playoff dreams. BYU, Louisville and Virginia are looking to bounce back and stay alive in conference races, while Texas A&M and USC try to keep things rolling. McElroy breaks it all down for you in his week 12 previews.

Indiana showed they have the “guts” to win a game at the end, Oregon continues to grow up right in front of our eyes and Texas Tech sends a message to the college football world. Alabama is rounding into a complete team, while Texas A&M proved once again that in a blink of an eye they can take a game away from anyone. The ACC is a mess but don’t count Miami out just yet. Notre Dame and Ohio State keep rolling, the Heisman race is starting to narrow while the Group of 5 race is heating up. All that and more as McElroy goes over his top 10 takeaways from week 11

What a day in college football! Texas Tech let the world know they are a legit National Title contender by dominating BYU, the BIG 10 was wildly entertaining with Indiana surviving Penn State and Oregon beating Iowa in the slop. Ohio State, Texas A&M and Alabama cruise to another victory, while the ACC just continues to get more messy with Virginia and Louisville both losing AT HOME! McElroy gives you his Sunday morning reactions to all that and the rest of the Top 25.

Strong wins, good losses, dominant performances and consistency seem to be the formula the committee is using in their 1st CFP rankings. McElroy goes through the Top 25 and tells you why teams were ranked where they were and some scenarios that could change everything. Plus we have a discussion if Texas A&M or Alabama eventually jump Ohio State or Indiana, why Notre Dame continues to be polarizing, Miami’s tough position, if it's the ACC or BIG 12 that gets two teams in and how many teams from the SEC could get in.

Greg McElroy is here to get you ready for a pivotal week 11 in college football as the college football playoff takes shape. Who takes control of the BIG 12: BYU or Texas Tech and is the loser out of the CFP race?

McElroy cover’s it all plus gives you his giant killers.
