UCLA notched two double-digit neutral-site victories over Oklahoma and UNC - are the Bruins the best team in the country?

It's Friday so you know what that means - Felder Friday is locked and loaded with a preview of what's coming up this weekend. The gang gets into some CFP rankings reaction; what it means for each conference, and a reminder to chill out with the hot takery because we still got three weeks left in the regular season (it's going to sort itself out, people). Felder Five (TM) is spicy as always, including some spirited debate on a big Saturday in the SEC: how many points is Ole Miss going to hang on a Florida team that looked like it quit last week, plus Oklahoma's defense against a one-dimensional Alabama offense, and oh yeah, pretty big game between the hedges with Texas visiting Georgia. 'That's my Dog' and 'Three for All' is a must-listen because the Doc is coming off an 0-3 week and Hartzell just went 3-0, so it's a fade-or-follow Friday between these two. Weekend is here, we made it fam!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
3-0 on the Top-3 Plays of the Week for a second straight week on The Phil Steele Show! Our guy Phil is on a heater and looking to keep that momentum as we head into Week 12 in College Football. This week, Phil gives picks and analysis on 20+ games to get you set for a winning weekend.

Pretty busy show when you consider Wayne Cook and Stephen Hartzell are reacting almost immediately after the CFP rankings drop on Tuesday night. There's finally a G5 team in the poll (!) but somehow Tennessee is still ranked (?) so it's not all roses. There are takes, disagreements, and enthusiasm on both sides of the aisle from Wayne and Hartzell, but that's what we're here for, right? Phil Steele even offers his Playoff take before launching into a 30-minute run through the week 12 top-25 card. The end of the show includes some Gavin Newsom jokes and Wayne tells Hartzell he looks like a Lord of the Rings character (yes, really).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Roddy Jones has a house full of sick kids (one of which you'll hear from), Hartzell has two boys who are out of school for Veteran's Day, and Tripp is ... missing ... for the first 30 minutes of the show. Once Tripp does arrive, a fight ensues over the Indiana/Penn State game and what may (or may not) have been said on the TV broadcast. There's plenty of ACC discussion, including Roddy's trip to Charlottesville to watch Wake ruin Virginia's dream season, plus thoughts on fraudulent Louisville and the fact that Boston College has officially quit (according to Hartzell). What does all of this mean for the ACC tiebreaker scenarios and the most likely combination of teams that are going to play in Charlotte in December? CFP predictions for tonight's rankings unveil, week 11 takeaways, and Rodstradamus' weekly selections are all included. Good stuff on the early week show!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Felder Friday edition of the show to get you ready for the week 11 slate and we got the whole crew (despite some health issues for Hartzell and Tripp), so the gang has assembled to talk ball and break down these games. Felder has some choice words (and expletives) about Indiana not being ranked #1 in the CFP. You're going to want to hear that plus the full Felder Five with other takes on Georgia/Miss State, Oregon at Iowa, and whether or not this is the week we finally put Missouri to bed for the season. That's my Dog returns with the biggest underdog swing in the history of the segment, and if Felder hits on this one we might have to shut it down forever because lawdamercy this is a reach. Tripp and Hartzell go head-to-head with the piiiiiicks to close the show which is the real reason you all are here, let's be realSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The season is four days old, and there are actual real-life games to discuss! Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce recap some of the notable results from the opening week, some good (NC State-Tennessee!) some ugly (Baylor-Duke). They also bounce around and find some things they liked, some things they disliked and give their now annual "opening week of the season hot takes". And then they wrap up by previewing some spicy games over the next week, including two top-15 matchups for UCLA.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Week 11 in College Football is upon us and who better to break down all the action than Phil Steele. We get Phil's picks and analysis on over 25 games to get you set for a winning weekend. Speaking of winning... Phil Steele is on a heater! 3-0 on his Top-3 Plays of the Week last week and 2-1 or better for six weeks running.

You know you need Wayne Cook's CFP reaction in your life...and today you're going to get it. Hartzell & Cookie both drop some fresh out of the oven takes on what the committee gave us last night with the initial Playoff rankings. While it's nice that there's teams in the 20's that still have a path to the promised land, not having ANY G5 teams listed while a 3-loss Tennessee was occupying the last spot was - according to one of the guys - mildly insulting. Still, though, we press on. Plenty of reaction on the show today, sandwiched between a half hour of Phil Steele analysis of the week 11 card. Phil wants nothing to do with the CFP rankings because he'd rather watch MACtion, so if you need the Godfather in your life running through the top-25 games this weekend, well, we got you.

The entire CSN crew got absolutely hosed last weekend because we're all YouTube TV subscribers, and the group is still looking for answers for how to watch these college games. Roddy works for ESPN so you know he'll be ok. But what about Hartzell and Tripp (and you - the listener)?! Thankfully there's an app for your phone that solves this dilemma and - unlike ESPN Unlimited - is free! Plenty to unpack from the week 10 slate including Roddy's trip to SMU where we saw Miami's playoff hopes die. How well do you know your ACC tiebreakers, because Roddy is dialed in with what it's going to take to separate this logjam of teams tied for 2nd place in the standings. Initial set of CFP rankings drop later tonight, so how do the boys feel about who will be #1? Plus we have takeaways from this past weekend and some early Rodstradamus leans for the week 11 card to wrap the show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Felder Fridays are usually a borderline off-the-rails production, but you tack on Halloween plus a trio of rad dads who are all prepping for a fun night with the family and you arrive at today's program. Lots going on with the episode today; Felder Five gets you ready for the week ten slate, Tripp and Hartzell go head-to-head with picks, 'That's my Dog' returns after some baaaad beats a week ago, plus some Halloween plans and costume reveals.

UCLA went on the road and lost by 50 over the weekend, so you know what that means. The moratorium is back, baby. There will be no Bruins football talk on the show today, unless it's to gush over their opponent from this past Saturday (Indiana) or the guy that Hartzell thinks would be a great fit to take the coaching reigns in Westwood (his initials are BK). Wayne gives us his thoughts on the head coaching search and who he wants to see take the gig. Phil Steele stops by for his normal 30-minute jaunt through the weekend card, including a couple of upsets that Phil likes to upset the apple cart on Saturday.

Spicy show because Hartzell can't get his microphone to work and, well, it affected the rest of the show. Multiple disagreements today with the fellas, including - but not limited to - JMU playing on Tuesday night, which ACC teams are on fraud watch, and the always popular 'is Vanderbilt legit' discussion. Roddy Jones weighs in on what he saw first-hand with Miami over the weekend, plus is he finally ready to buy on Texas A&M as a championship contender? The coaching vacancy list continues to grow, and the guys pour one out for the Brian Kelly experience at LSU. Do ranked teams still go to Carter-Finley at night to die? Because if so, that's not good news for the Jackets on Saturday...which the guys discuss. Rodstradamus is coming off another rough week on the picks - so now is the time to bounce back and get some positive vibes heading into November, let's get it!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
HAPPY FALL Y'ALL! College Baseball is just around the corner, and we've got the reigning national champion head coach of LSU baseball, Jay Johnson, on Dugouts, Dumbbells and Dingers! David Kahn and Coach Johnson rehash LSU's 2025 run to the national title, including what he remembers from that frenzied regional and how that set the course for the Tigers to run the table in Omaha. The two discuss the various celebrations that LSU has had since their national championship win, including Jay HOUSING a pepperoni pizza after the victory, Jay's best memories of the 2025 team, what winning a national title at LSU means to him, and how entrenched he has become in this community. Jay also discusses his thoughts on Anthony Eyanson, Chase Shores and a whole host of other Tigers from the 2025 squad, and how he strategically used his off days in both Hoover and Omaha to set his team up for present and future success.Plus, how does the 2026 team look so far? Derek Curriel is the centerpiece, and he cashed in on the transfer portal again, so look for LSU to be as competitive as ever in 2026.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And Tripp looks to extend his lead over Hartzell in the picks segment at the end of the show.

For the third straight week the UCLA ban has been lifted on the show because, well, the Bruins are somehow 3-1 in the Big Ten and winners of three in a row. Because college football.

this was a dope show
Benjamin Bialorucki
This is a great pod to get primed on Fridays for college football Saturdays. Felder Fridays have some great insight. Hartzell and Felder have a great rapport and provide some good insight and things to watch for in some key games.
