Braden Gall sits down with SiriusXM's Chris Childers to break down the future of the college football playoff committee. Did they get it right? What happens to conference championship games? Why the playoff will expand and what is the role of the TV networks? What happens to the Group of 5? Will Notre Dame be forced into a conference?

Braden Gall and Jared Stillman try to figure out what the hell is happening with the Penn State coaching search? Who else messed up this coaching carousel and who got it right? Are Bama and BYU already in or should the championship game matter? Is Nick Saban a liar?

Hey everyone, Braden here. I am offering a quick update on the future of the show. IT'S STILL ALIVE and we have plans we are figuring out. Thanks for all of your support and stay tuned!

Braden Gall and Steven Lassan host the last episode of the Athlon U College Football podcast - aka, The Cover 2 pod. We tell stories, explain the future of the pod and explain our love of college football.

Thank you to each and every one of you who listened over the last 12 seasons. I would love to stay in touch via social media or my Nashville company, 440 Sports. Come hang out with us and stay tuned to the feed b/c you never know what could happen.

Love to all of you,

Braden

Steven and Braden talk college football. Our favorite thing in Week 4 was a massive new mascot and a distracted head coach. Mike Gundy has been fired from Ok-State as the hot seat gets warmer. Man, were we wrong about a lot in Week 4 and doesn't that make it fun? We look ahead at massive top 15 match-ups this week, offer picks against the spread and handicap the G5 race to the playoffs.

Steven and Braden talk college football after a dramatic third weekend of action. Our favorite thing from Week 3, what Georgia's win over Tennessee teaches us about the playoff and how Notre Dame's resume is still really good. Critical games in the Big 12 and Big Ten highlight another great weekend of action.

Steven and Braden talk college football. Florida, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma St and Kansas St are facing major questions after a brutal second week of action. Rivalries delivered in the Midwest.

Plus, the SEC takes center stage in Week 3 as multiple ranked match-ups highlight the weekend.

Steven and Braden talk college football. Massive top 10 match-ups highlighted a huge Week 1 but is the college football world overreacting? Is the chase for the playoff spot among the Group of 5 totally wide open after USF dominated Boise St? How good could the top of the Big 12 be in 2025? Michigan-Oklahoma highlights a big slate of games in Week 2, including a great list of ACC non-conference match-ups.

Steven and Braden celebrate the return of college football as a massive Week 1 kicks off this weekend. What was our favorite thing about Week 0? The SEC moves to a 9-game schedule. And we preview five straight nights of college football joy! LSU-Clemson, Texas-Ohio St, Auburn-Baylor, Notre Dame-Miami, Va Tech-South Carolina, TCU-UNC and much more.

Steven and Braden make their official picks ahead of Week 0. Conference champions, the national title, the playoff field, biggest sleepers, a Heisman draft, win total over/unders and a preview of the Iowa St-Kansas St game. Football is back!

Braden and Steven preview the SEC in 2025. Is Bama rising this preseason? Can Georgia reload? Who is better: Florida or South Carolina? Why is Texas A&M underrated? Are the Vols and Rebels taking a step back? How good could Auburn be? Who is the worst team in the league? Can Diego Pavia carry Vandy? Why is Texas No. 1?
