Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” on The Volume.

They start with Michigan’s rocky start in their first game under coach Kyle Whittingham and the regression shown by quarterback Bryce Underwood (2:30), they also discuss the crazy ending to their game against Western Michigan (7:30).

They pivot to Clemson being humiliated by LSU and Colin questions whether it’s time for head coach Dabo Swinney to go (12:15), and they make their  predictions on how LSU will fare under Lane Kiffin (17:30).  

Colin argues Miami’s Darian Mensah looks like the best quarterback in college football, and could have a special season now that he’s paired with dynamic wide receiver Malachi Toney (26:00). They also discuss the growing disparity between the power conferences and the mid-majors despite Boise State putting a scare into #2 Oregon (29:30).

They move to the mess at UNC under Bill Belichick and why hiring a “friends and family” staff has hamstrung the program (37:00). 

They pivot to the NFL and make their Super Bowl predictions and preview Seahawks vs. Patriots to open the NFL season (49:00).

They preview the Rams vs. 49ers this Thursday on Netflix and Colin believes the Rams will become the target for everyone’s best shot since they’re the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl… and that it’s no guarantee the Rams even win their division (56:00).

Finally, they react to Tua Tagovailoa winning the starting quarterback job for the Falcons (1:07:00)

Michigan Struggles, LSU Humiliates Clemson, Super Bowl Predictions, Rams vs. 49ers

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4cf7d267-9579-4d95-ab6f-b4bf0016e850/transcript

USC is 2-0 and hasn't been tested, so Colin goes looking for what's real: NFL bodies on both lines, four freshmen starting, and a quarterback in Jayden Maiava who's played his way into first-round talk. His verdict is a top-ten team with a schedule that still decides everything. Along the way: why college football has no leadership and never will, what the WNBA's commissioner shakeup says about the same problem, why Darian Mensah is now the best quarterback in the country, and why Lane Kiffin's LSU noise is going to backfire. 

Timeline:

0:00  USC 39-0, and college football's leadership problem

3:17  The fix nobody will make: kill the non-conference season

6:41  Bowman, Mosley, Dixon-Wyatt and the freshman wave

10:26 Ten freshmen, no more redshirts, and Maiava's rise

13:38 The Big Ten gauntlet: good team or great one?

16:16 Darian Mensah is the best quarterback in the country

18:36 Lane Kiffin, LSU, and why noise breaks football teams

22:31 A top-eight job that doesn't need the shtick

USC & Miami Dominate, Darian Mensah #1 QB? LSU Has A Big Problem

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/ea8b4112-41b3-401e-9495-b4bc01331e98/transcript

Everybody spent the weekend dunking on the empty seats at the Coliseum. Colin isn't buying the outrage — and his defense of USC isn't really a defense, it's a theory of American sports geography. Big cities belong to pro teams. Mid-sized cities belong to college. Small towns belong to Friday nights. LA has been paying that tax since the Rams and Chargers moved in, and USC already conceded the point when it shrank the building and added suites. It's not an excuse, it's a reason.

Then the part the attendance story buried: true freshman Trent Mosley looked like a first-team All-American in his first college game, and Lincoln Riley emptied the bench on purpose, because September is for getting a very young roster ready for Oregon, Washington, Penn State, Ohio State and Indiana. Colin also explains why he thinks USC, Ohio State and Texas all have schedules too brutal to survive, why Notre Dame and Miami is his national title call — twice — and why he'd take the Longhorns at home against the Buckeyes. Plus NFL Week 1: the Colts as a live home dog, why Jacksonville could bury Cleveland, whether Denver's 14-win magic regresses, and why Goodell's London talk is a stadium-leverage bat signal, not a real plan.
