On today’s show, we’re tackling one of the biggest questions in college football: Should Notre Dame finally ditch independence and join a conference after the Playoff Committee’s latest decision? Tass kicks things off with a True-or-False deep dive, plus a full ranking of all 12 College Football Playoff quarterbacks from Fernando Mendoza to Alonza Barnett III. Josh takes us to the NFL with a Sports Scantron: Which potential Super Bowl matchup gives us the best game? Bills–Eagles? Patriots–Packers? Rams–Broncos? Seahawks–Jaguars? Then we rank the Top 5 quarterbacks who NEED a Super Bowl the most for their legacy—from Stafford to Rodgers to Drake Maye. Fantasy fans eat today too: Which QB–WR stack would you rather ride into the playoffs? Goff & ARSB vs the league’s best duos like Mahomes–Rice, Burrow–Chase, Dak–Lamb, and Lamar–Flowers. We wrap with NBA: Tass’ Austin Reaves Edition of Who Would You Rather Have Right Now? (Spoiler: Steph and Jamal Murray make things complicated). And Josh drops a monster WHUF as the Spurs go all-in: Giannis to San Antonio in a multi-team blockbuster centered around Stephon Castle, Harrison Barnes, Kelly Olynyk, multiple firsts, and more. Big debates. Big rankings. Big trades.

Lane Kiffin to LSU has flipped college football upside down — so we’re answering 5 Burning Questions about what this move really means. Did he make the right call? Should Ole Miss have let him stay?

We open in the NFL with True or False: should the Bengals shut down Joe Burrow for the rest of the season? Then it’s a WYR — JSN Edition, choosing who you'd rather have going forward from Pickens to Chase. MLB takes the middle segment as we react to Tatsuya Imai’s “take them down” quote and pick which team gives him the best chance to topple the Dodgers, plus two WHUF blockbusters involving Buxton/Joe Ryan and Ketel Marte. We close with the NBA: a Sports Scantron on which former All-Star gets moved first, followed by Way or No Way predicting All-NBA shots from Wemby to Jamal Murray.
