Let's Play Over/Under

Alabama

Ohio State

Texas Tech

Clemson

Florida State

Ole Miss

Penn State

Last week, win totals dropped for every Power 4 team. We did the responsible thing and polled the Verballerhood for it's initial response. In this episode, and hundreds of votes later, we broke down the totals that the community found most interesting and picked the side of the bet that we'd back now... in mid-March.

Surprise Playoff Pick Draft

Breaking CFB Inertia

Still Love CFB?

Players As Employees?

Favorite Big Back?

CFB Docs?

CFB Figure Skating Pairs?

CFB Power Plays?

G5 Playoff Contenders?

CFB QB Development?

The second part of our Mega March Q&A is here, and we're going deep on the questions that (apparently) matter most to the Verballerhood ahead of the 2026 season. Which teams could make a surprising playoff run? Where will college football's inertia be broken next season? Has the rapid pace of change in the sport diminished our love for it? When will the NCAA stop begging for help from Congress? Plus, the greatest "big back" of all time, college football figure skating pairings, football power plays and more.

Kalen DeBoer's Future?

The Value of Playing Time?

Altering CFB History?

Canceling Marquee Matchups?

Two Bid Big 12?

Optimal Tailgating?

The Verballerhood's questions were so good that we had to split our Mega March Q&A episode into two parts. In Part 1, we look at Kalen DeBoer's future with Alabama, the value of playing time as a recruiting tool for non-blue bloods, and the college football moments over the last 25 years that we'd most like to change. Plus, we discuss whether TV networks can force teams to stop canceling marquee matchups, how the Big 12 can become a two-bid league in the CFP era, the conditions for optimal tailgating, and much more.
