Episode Details

1.4.26 John Mallory breaks down why the NFL Playoff picture is wide open and why this season’s Super Bowl race feels more unpredictable than ever. Which NFL quarterback can you trust the most to lead a deep postseason run? John reacts to the Pittsburgh Steelers defeating the Baltimore Ravens to clinch the AFC North and secure a playoff spot, and explains why missing the playoffs might actually benefit the Ravens long-term.

The show also dives into major NFL offseason storylines, including which head coaching job opening could be the most attractive and who deserves to win NFL Coach of the Year. Plus, John debates which No. 1 seed is stronger — the Seattle Seahawks or Denver Broncos.

Later, John is joined by New Mexico head coach Jason Eck to discuss his program’s success, Curt Cignetti’s rise at Indiana, and whether the Group of 5 should have its own College Football Playoff.

The episode wraps up with a broader conversation about whether the College Football Playoff system is working as currently constructed.
