  • The Next CFB Playoff Format, Michigan's Warde Manuel Joins, plus Who Goes #1 in the NFL Draft?

    The Next CFB Playoff Format, Michigan's Warde Manuel Joins, plus Who Goes #1 in the NFL Draft?
    Mar 5 2025
    The 12-team playoff was a success! Time to blow it up and make a new format. Coach Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II, and Rob Stone look back at the 12-team College Football Playoff and what they enjoyed and what should be fixed ahead of the 2025-26 season. They then debated if the proposed 14-team playoff, giving the Big Ten and the SEC four guaranteed spots EACH is good for the sport or another money grab. "The Game" wrote another chapter, but this time a friendly one as Michigan Athletic Director and 2024 College Football Playoff Chairman Warde Manuel join Rob and Coach to talk about the historic rivalry between the Wolverines and Ohio State. He also took us inside the CFP decision making room, the discussions that led to this past year's bracket, as well as the changes he would make in the second go around. Warde also shines some light on the future of the Playoff, the Big Ten's stake in it, and how the current proposal is good for the whole sport. The NFL Combine was this past weekend, Mark Ingram goes down memory lane to his time in Indy and the guys decide who they would take with the #1 pick this season. Hint: he already won the most prestigious award in all of College Football. New episodes of The Triple Option drop every Wednesday.

  • Spring Games Disappearing, Nebraska's Matt Rhule Joins, 2025 Heisman Trophy Predictions

    Spring Games Disappearing, Nebraska's Matt Rhule Joins, 2025 Heisman Trophy Predictions
    Feb 26 2025
    To Spring Game or not Spring Game, that is the question. Coach Urban Meyer and Rob Stone dive into the purpose of Spring games as teams across the country are cancelling the fan facing event to protect their roster ahead of the Spring transfer portal window. Meyer then expresses concern for where the players who enter the transfer portal and never find a new home. (2:14) Nebraska Head Coach Matt Rhule was the first head coach to make a change to the spring showcase and joins Coach and Rob to discuss his thought behind the decision. We also get some old school meat head talk (get your neckrolls ready) around mat drills, making Nebraska relevant, before getting back to new age problems, like out of conference scheduling. (16:58) It's never too early to talk Heisman and we dive into the odds presented by BetMGM. Will Arch Manning live up to the hype? Is Jeremiah Smith HIM? Can Drew Allar and his returning cast make a case for the trophy to return to Happy Valley for the first time since 1973? Coach and Rob shoot their shots.

(2:10) Rob Stone and Meyer then drop the gloves, lace up their skates and slide into the world of hockey after the US and Canada squared off in one of the most memorable All-Star event in any professional sports.
