Tony Barnhart  Coach  to break down an action-packed Week 2 slate and analyze the high-stakes negotiations shaping the future of the College Football Playoff.

The conversation kicks off with a look back at key Week 1 takeaways—highlighted by LSU's dominant showing against Clemson and Michigan's surprisingly narrow battle against Western Michigan—before diving into Tony’s personal Saturday viewing guide, featuring marquee matchups like Oklahoma at Michigan, Ohio State at Texas, and Arkansas traveling to Utah.

From there, the two revisit the rich history of the Georgia Tech–Tennessee rivalry, Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs breaking tradition with all-white uniforms, and the growing divide over early-season blowouts and "cupcake" scheduling.

Finally, Tony delivers an inside look at the push toward an expanded 24-team playoff model, Greg Sankey's scheduling demands for the Big Ten, and the looming December 1 deadline that could reshape the calendar and spell the end of traditional conference championship games.
