Coach Doug Mathews and Charles Davis break down the evolving landscape of college football, discussing how the traditional concept of an "upset" is fading in the current era. They examine the impact of the expanded playoff, noting that while conference championships still matter, simply making the 12-team tournament has shifted the sport's historical priorities. The conversation explores the Big Ten, specifically Indiana's recent offensive struggles following a loss, and the widespread impact of quarterback injuries across FBS programs. Finally, they evaluate the Group of Six picture, highlighting James Madison's recent defeat and the enduring giant-killer reputation of Appalachian State.
