Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the College Football Playoff and the top storylines from the NFL! 

They start with the Oregon Ducks being absolutely cooked by Ohio State in the Rose Bowl and why Ohio State looks to be in a class of their own compared to the rest of the field (3:30). 

They discuss the controversial non-call for targeting in the Arizona State/Texas game that likely changes the outcome and why they both hate the targeting rule (14:30). They laud the Arizona State coaching staff for taking a much more talented Texas team down to the wire, and attempt to dissect why Steve Sarkisian’s teams look “loose” (25:00).

They debate whether Penn State can win the national championship (34:00) and what to make of Ashton Jeanty and Drew Aller as NFL prospects (37:00). 

They pivot to the NFL and start with why it doesn’t bother them that Saquon Barkley is sitting out the final game of the season with the single season rushing record in reach (47:00). Colin labels Brock Purdy an “if” quarterback where he can only succeed “if” things go well around him and discuss what the 49ers should do with him going forward (53:15).

Finally, they weigh in on Colts GM Chris Ballard potentially being in danger of losing his job and why the Colts should cut ties with quarterback Anthony Richardson just two years after being drafted #4 overall (1:09:00).

Colin Cowherd Podcast - Ohio State COOKS The Ducks, Texas Barely Escapes ASU, Can PSU Win It All? Saquon Sitting Out

Colin reacts to the Lions beating the 49ers in a shootout 40-34 on Monday Night Football!

He doubles down on his take that Brock Purdy is a “good, not great” quarterback after throwing two crucial interceptions to sink the 49ers, (4:00) and credits his huge statline to Kyle Shanahan scheming guys open (7:45). He examines the NFC playoff picture and explains why the playoffs are WIDE open and warns that the Lions could be in real trouble if they can’t secure the #1 seed in their upcoming game against the Vikings (10:30).

He pivots to the NBA and the lack of criticism of the league by the media. He argues that the league DESERVES criticism, needs major changes and has been coddled by friendly media for too long (13:30).

Colin Cowherd Podcast - INSTANT REACTION: Purdy’s Picks Sink 49ers, NFC Playoff Picture Is WIDE OPEN, The NBA Has Been CODDLED By Sports Media

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a968a0f0-9fef-4767-8b60-b25700569613/transcript

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 17 NFL action!

They start with the Vikings hanging on to beat the Packers and Colin argues that Sam Darnold’s brilliant play has earned him a contract in the 50m+/yr range and Minnesota would be crazy not to give it to him (3:00). They debate whether the Patriots should look to make a coaching change now that they’ve found their quarterback or whether they should stay the course with Jerod Mayo (21:00).

They heap praise on Jim Harbaugh and highlight the incredible improvement shown by the Chargers in his first year as head coach (27:00) and they debate whether Bills head coach Sean McDermott should lose his job if they make a playoff exit prior to the AFC championship (36:15). 

They discuss Aaron Rodgers taking not-so-subtle shots at Jets owner Woody Johnson and what the Jets should do at coach and quarterback in 2025 (41:45). They argue that Joe Burrow is playing quarterback better than anyone in the league after the Bengals beat the Broncos (52:30) and debate which wild card teams are capable of winning a playoff game (58:30). 

They try to make sense of the incredibly up and down nature of the LA Rams (1:01:00), and Colin offers a Mea Culpa for spending so long defending Kyler Murray and wonders if the Cardinals could look to trade him in the offseason (1:05:30). They also address the disparity between the top and bottom teams in the league and the large number of really BAD teams at the bottom of the standings and debate whether it’s a one-off or a trend (1:17:00). 

Finally, they pivot to college football’s top stars and try to project where players like Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward and Travis Hunter will land (1:22:00), and make their picks for the College Football Playoff games (1:30:00).
