    What if the outcome of one game could change the trajectory of two legendary college football programs? Join us for a thrilling National Championship Preview Show as we explore this possibility with an incredible panel of guests: Tony, Coach Amp, Matt, Mister, Jeremy, Bob, and Chris. Our discussion begins with an entertaining debate on the ranking of NFL quarterbacks Steve Young, Eli Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger, setting the stage for a deeper dive into the intense pressures faced by coaches Ryan Day and Marcus Freeman. We explore the potential career impacts of the championship game, offering insights that even the most ardent fans might not have considered.

    Notre Dame's choice to remain independent from a conference is under the spotlight.

Listeners will gain a comprehensive view of how these changes could redefine college football as we know it.
