College Sports Now

A ton to get to on the latest Gauer Hour! Megan and Rob discuss the introduction (finally) of units to the NCAA Tournament and why it's a massive step forward for the game. Plus the usual recap/preview, hitting on all the games from the last five days and previewing a massive slate of games to come (South Carolina-Oklahoma; UCLA-Baylor; Maryland-Texas; Maryland-Ohio State; South Carolina-LSU). And...

The fellas have been marinating on these takes since the weekend, time to unpack what we saw in the CFP Semis. Roddy Jones was in Miami for the Orange Bowl, so he has first-hand observations on Notre Dame / Penn State (and you already know Wayne has got all kinds of Drew Allar takes). Lots of takeaways from the Cotton Bowl where Ohio State took care of Texas late, even without their best stuff. Ha...

A wise man once said 'how can you know where you're going if you don't know where you're from'. Today's episode - our first college hoops show of the season - is where we're from, and for the next three months (as the season plays out, culminating with the Final Four in San Antonio) is where we're going. So who better to assist with the ride than our in-house hoops insider Matt Norlander from CBS...

What a Thursday of games! LSU-Tennessee was maybe the best game all year, Mississippi State notches a top-10 win over Oklahoma and two very different-looking ACC games go to overtime. Not to mention, USC-Maryland was a thriller on Wednesday, and South Carolina-Texas comes on Sunday! Rob and Megan hit on all of those games and more, plus they have a great chat with Lulu Kesin of The Greenville News...

We got CFP games coming back into our lives on Thursday and Friday night, so let's get the gang back together to break these down. The squad is assembled; Roddy Jones, Wayne Cook, Hartzell, and the Doc join forces to run through the Orange Bowl & Cotton Bowl. We head to Texas to bring in Craig Way, the Voice of the Longhorns, to give us some local perspective on Texas' chances as an underdog a...

CFP Quarterfinals are in the books and we're going to talk about them. Wayne and Felder join Hartzell (no Roddy because he's nursing a sore throat) to recap the four games that got us here. Full recaps of the Sugar, Rose, Peach, and Fiesta bowls, plus what it means moving forward in the semis. Obviously Ohio State is the team to beat, but what do the guys make of Texas' escape vs ASU? There are so...

Do you like fouls? Then you probably loved Texas-Oklahoma. Rob Joyce and Megan Gauer ring in the New Year by recapping the Longhorns' win, talking USC's improved form, and hitting on Maryland now that they've played someone worth talking about with the Michigan State victory. Then we hand out some conference superlatives and preview a massive week upcoming across the country, with games on games o...

The final show of 2024 with the fellas. Felder, Wayne, Hartzell, and the Doc huddle up to run through the CFP Quarterfinal games over New Year's. To start, there are takes on Jim Mora running his mouth, Jayden Daniels vs Michael Penix, and the 'good old days' of bowl season, but there is also real, actual, football talk. The guys rank the 8 starting quarterbacks still alive in the playoff, and you...

Let's be honest, we're all exhausted. Christmas is over, but it's not quite New Year's Eve, either. Everything is a blur and things are hazy. Life feels confusing. The only way you actually know it's Friday is because Michael Felder is talking ball with us here on CSN. The Doc and Hartzell are alongside for an hour of CFP reaction, previews of next week's quarterfinals, and an overall health and w...

It's Christmas Eve but the takes must be released. Roddy Jones and Wayne Cook join Hartzell to run through all of the CFP 1st round reactions, including some well-balanced, reasoned takes on why we had 4 lopsided games over the weekend. Blowouts happen, you know. It's college sports. What did Roddy make of seeing Penn State up close and personal on Saturday? Are the Nittany Lions championship-leve...

You knew it was coming. Part deux of the CSN CFP preview features Michael Felder & Wayne Cook along with Hartzell and the Doc to run through the first-round games that start with Friday night lights in South Bend. The guys run through all four games this weekend and break down the matchups; Who would you rather have, Klubnik or Ewers? Which head coach not named Ryan Day has the most pressure o...

The final Gauer Hour of 2024 and we have a loaded show. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce recap the fairly quiet week around the country - nice wins for Oklahoma, Michigan State, Georgia Tech & UConn. Plus Cassandra Negley of Yahoo Sports jumps on to talk about her thoughts on the first six weeks of the season. Then we preview a fun Friday night with MTEs in Ft. Lauderdale and San Francisco, of course...

You knew it was coming. Playoff starts on Friday night so let's break down these games, kids. Loaded show to start the week off, featuring Roddy Jones & Mike Golic Jr joining Hartzell and the Doc to run through the weekend slate. This includes deep dives on Indiana at Notre Dame and Penn State hosting SMU. Roddy and GoJo will both be in Happy Valley this weekend, so there's plenty of discussio...

Felder Friday is here and we have a loaded show to get you set for the weekend. Our guy, @InTheBleachers along with special guest @lebrownlow give thoughts on UNC's new coaching hire.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.c...

For the second Thursday in a row Notre Dame notched a top-10 win at home, this time over UConn, and Rob is worried about the Huskies. Plus, South Carolina continues to steamroll opponents since its loss last month. And some surprise unbeatens face ranked tests this weekend in Georgia Tech and Michigan State. All that and more on the latest Gauer Hour with Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce. See Privacy Pol...

Truly an historic day on CSN - as longtime listeners can attest to - because Wayne Cook has been pleading with the powers that be to expand the playoff for, well, forever. Today is finally his day. The field is set, we've got dozen teams with a shot at the national championship, and life is good, right? Wayne gets to tell us all how he feels about the CFP and whether the Committee did the right th...

Don't be afraid to wear out that office toner cartridge, we got football brackets for the first time ever, it's a celebration. Roddy Jones joins Hartzell and the Doc to the run through the 12-team field. Thoughts and reactions to what we saw over Championship Weekend with some highly entertaining games in the ACC and B1G (plus whatever that thing was in the SEC). The fellas disagree on the future...

A loaded Thursday slate in the SEC/ACC Challenge featured two overtime games (Notre Dame had quite the up-and-down week) and South Carolina doing South Carolina things to a top-10 team. Plus, the release of the NET rankings gives hope to some sneaky power schools and mid-majors alike (bad week for the #3BidA10 movement though). And we have more top-10 showdowns in TCU-South Carolina and Notre Dame...

That's right kids, regular season is over and that means there's only 9 FBS games on deck this weekend. Who better to break them down than Felder, who comes correct with his weekly dose of Felder Five and some National Signing Day sprinkled in as well. Shehan Jeyarajah from CBS Sports enters the chat to talk Big 12 Championship and CFP at large with the fellas. Shehan thinks SMU is in even with a...

It's hard enough doing a show with Wayne Cook and keeping our boy focused. It's even harder when you're taping as the CFP rankings are literally coming down the line, but nonetheless, we press on. Immediate reaction to the rankings and who stands to benefit the most from the upcoming Championship Weekend slate of games Friday and Saturday. Lots of Hartzell and Wayno disagreements in the first half...

Coming off a monster rivalry weekend full of games, we get the gang together to unpack it all. Roddy Jones joins Hartzell and the Doc to talk about the GT/Georgia 8OT game, and the combined ripple effects that game had - along with Miami and Clemson losing - on the ACC's dream of a being a multi-bid league. Nicole Auerbach from NBC Sports joins the show to discuss Michigan/Ohio State and the Big T...

Digest all those calories with some hoops talk! Rob Joyce and Megan Gauer recap a busy Feast Week: the massive wins by Notre Dame and UCLA, South Carolina's response against Iowa State (poor Cyclones), and some lesser-heralded victories by the likes of Georgia Tech, Michigan State and Harvard. Then we preview next week's ACC/SEC Challenge, with a LOADED Thursday slate, including South Carolina vs...

It's the day after Thanksgiving so you think your body is full, but we're about to go back for some fresh hot takes from the boys. Michael Felder, The Doc, and Hartzell run through the week 14 slate with a special guest appearance from Phil Steele to get his perspective on every game in the top 25. Felder brings up how nobody is talking about Michigan/Ohio State or Notre Dame/USC, and he's got a p...

Don’t be sad because it’s over… just be happy that it happened. We’re heading into the last week of the regular season here on the Week-14 edition of The Phil Steele Show. This is an absolutely loaded hour of betting angles from the best in the business. We talk through all the conference races and playoff implications while previewing over 30 games for Rivalry Week. Bet smarter, not harder. See P...

So much football, so many takes. We had to get Wayne and Roddy on the show at the same time to unpack an all-time Saturday of college football that just happened PLUS predict what this is all going to look like for the Playoff Committee ahead of Tuesday night's rankings reveal. Enough with the Indiana talk, 11-1 Hoosiers are a lock to get in. But what about a 2-bid ACC? Wayne wants to talk Heisman...
