Coaching Focus: Preparing for Charlotte

As championship week is on the horizon, Duke head coach Manny Diaz joined the show and he came spitting some HEAT. Watch here as the Blue Devils head coach explains why Miami should be in the field, why the ACC champion should be in, and why the College Football Playoff system is broken. Do you agree with Coach Diaz's thoughts?

(1:07:45) Conclusion: Dear Andy & Ari Tomorrow

After Manny Diaz, the fellas take a look at Diego Pavia calling for Donald Trump to sign an executive order to expand the College Football Playoff to 16 teams this year. While happening this year seems impossible, Andy & Ari discuss the potential for expansion of the College Football Playoff here.

It's a megaboard Wednesday, and the fellas dive deep into whether or not the rankings of Miami and Notre Dame would flip ahead of Sunday's selection. Watch here as Andy & Ari re-visit 2014 to discuss what happened with Baylor and TCU to compare.

As news is ramped up on National Signing Day, the coaching carousel is in full swing as well. On Wednesday, it was reported that Ohio State OC Brian Hartline would be taking the USF job. What does this mean for Ohio State? Andy & Ari break it down here.

Meanwhile, Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman has announced his retirement, and it is expected that current Texas A&M OC and former Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein will be named the head coach. Is this a good move in Manhattan?
