Article arrow_drop_down

Jacari and Jamari are back on The 2 Minute Drill with the regular season in the rearview and Championship Week on deck. They open the show recapping a wild slate: Georgia grinding out a defensive win over Georgia Tech behind a dominant run game, Oklahoma barely hanging on against struggling LSU to keep its playoff hopes alive, Alabama surviving the Iron Bowl with a gutsy fourth-down call, and Cal shocking SMU to blow up the AAC title race and open the door for Duke.

Then they zoom out and dig into the chaos around the College Football Playoff picture and the coaching carousel. The guys debate Notre Dame’s résumé, BYU’s case, whether Vanderbilt is being disrespected, and what happens if two Group of Five teams crash the party—plus what it would mean for the ACC if Virginia or Miami can’t get in. They also touch on big coaching moves across the SEC and beyond before closing the show with their conference championship predictions, including JMU–Troy, Tulane–North Texas, BYU–Texas Tech, Georgia–Alabama, Duke–Virginia, and the heavyweight showdown between Ohio State and Indiana, with a little Heisman talk sprinkled in.

When the Bag Is Bigger Than the Ego

On this edition of Throw Up Tackle, the crew opens with “My Confessions” energy and goes straight at the Sherrone Moore situation—why side pieces don’t just “go away,” how cheating turns into career nukes, and why the stakes hit different when you’re one of the few Black head coaches in major college football.
