In this episode, Evan Vieth and Justin Nash discuss a variety of topics centered on the Texas Longhorns football program and broader college football issues. They begin with the recent transfer portal news, highlighting CJ Baxter’s departure and the implications of injuries on his Texas career. The conversation then shifts to the current College Football Playoff (CFP) format, debating the merits of 12 teams versus other configurations like six or 16 teams, and the complexities surrounding automatic bids for conference champions.

Both hosts express skepticism about the current 12-team playoff structure, emphasizing the importance of merit-based selections without guaranteed conference champion spots. They also delve into the future of non-conference scheduling in college football, noting the declining likelihood of marquee early-season matchups as playoff seeding becomes more critical.

Focusing back on Texas, the hosts preview the upcoming Citrus Bowl and discuss player development, especially highlighting quarterback Arch Manning’s growth under pressure and the improvement in his accuracy and decision-making. They also spotlight promising young players expected to make an impact in the bowl game and the next season, including running back James Simon, wide receivers Kaliq Lockett and Daylan McCutchen, and defensive backs Wardell Mack and Kade Phillips.
