With the CFP expanding to 12 this season, is this the year the Nittany Lions finally break in? If you believe they’ll go over 9.5 wins, then you believe they’ll make the CFP.The question is this: How excited will fans be if Penn State is still only the third-best team in the Big Ten? Would making the CFP change the calculation? Sean Fitz of On3’s Blue and White Illustrated joins to answer these questions and more. Penn State has two new coordinators and perhaps the most interesting schedule it has had since before it joined the Big Ten. There is much to discuss.Next, On3’s James Fletcher III joins to preview a critical weekend in college basketball. Has Kentucky turned the corner after smashing Alabama and winning on a buzzer-beater at Mississippi State? Also, Tennessee heads to Tuscaloosa for a game that could help determine NCAA Tournament seeding.Kansas heads to Waco to face Baylor in a clash of Big 12 titans. Marquette and Creighton play in a key Big East game in Omaha. Out west, Gonzaga faces St. Mary’s in the West Coast Conference finale. Lose, and the Bulldogs might need to win the WCC Tournament to make the NCAA tourney.Want to watch the show?

The great Phillip Dukes, the host of On3’s Five Star Flex, joins from Indianapolis to talk about the NFL Combine.

Send your questions to AndyStaplesOn3@gmail.comOur friends at Fanduel set the over/under on Oklahoma’s win total at 7.5 — and some books had the Sooners as low as 6.5 at first. Do the folks in the desert have an inkling about how Oklahoma’s first season in the big, bad SEC will go? Or are they perhaps underestimating how good the Sooners will be in their first season in their new league?Eddie Radosevich and George Stoia III of On3’s SoonerScoop join Andy to discuss one of the more interesting win totals of the season. They dive into Oklahoma’s schedule and examine which young players could make an early impact.Next up, On3’s J.D. PicKell visits to discuss his recent interviews with LSU coach Brian Kelly and Florida State coach Mike Norvell.Kelly lost a Heisman Trophy-winning QB and his offensive coordinator and had to fire his defensive coordinator. Can LSU be competitive again in the SEC after all those changes?Meanwhile, Norvell had to dramatically reshape his roster after losing the core of a team that went 13-0 and won the ACC before getting shut out of the College Football Playoff. Can Norvell work his magic in the transfer portal again?Subscribe to On3! ⬇️ youtube.com/on3sports/?sub_confirmati...Welcome to On3 | The best of college football and recruiting https://www.on3.com/Listen to Andy Staples On3 on podcast!Spotify 🎧 : https://open.spotify.com/show/5AhQ4d2m5TQu5Q2vkwtxjt?si=d9016221aa2a4427Apple🍎:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/andy-staples-on3/id1695325427Follow Andy Staples on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Andy_StaplesFollow Andy Staples on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andy_staplesFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/on3sportsFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/on3/Like/Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/On3Sports/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Elko explains the differences in taking over a program with no prior experience there and one where he’s familiar. He also explains why one of the most accomplished strength coaches in the sport called him looking for a job.Before Elko visits, we need to talk court/field storming. We’ve talked about it multiple times on the show, and the inevitable happened Saturday when Duke’s Kyle Filipowski was injured when Wake Forest fans stormed the court after beating Duke.Andy explains why this probably won’t stop court/field storming, but it might convince athletic departments to have a better security plan to ensure players get off the floor/field.Andy also breaks down the massive loss for the NCAA in federal court on Friday. A judge in Tennessee issued a preliminary injunction that essentially pauses the NCAA’s ability to enforce its name, image and likeness rules. Will this finally convince schools to start moving toward the more sensible method of schools paying players directly?Tyler Horka of On3’s Blue and Gold joins to explain what the potential changes to the College Football Playoff could mean for Notre Dame. Tyler also helps us dive into Notre Dame’s schedule to determine whether the Irish can go over the 9.5 win total set for them earlier this month.Want to watch the show instead?

This is happening even though the commissioners who run the CFP still aren’t sure exactly who will be in their conferences in 2026. They also have to decide this in the next month so they can secure sites and lock down a TV deal.With so much changing, maybe it’s time to just tear it down and rebuild instead of continuing to tweak. Andy calls on the great Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports to brainstorm ideas. In such a time of chaos, there are no bad ideas? Want relegation? Let’s figure it out. Want an objective format for choosing playoff teams? Let’s design one.Next, On3’s James Fletcher III joins Andy to talk NCAA men’s basketball tournament bracketology and bubble watch. With likely No. 1 seeds Purdue and Connecticut getting knocked off in the past week, does someone else have a chance to move up to the top line? Did Texas A&M kill its chances of making the tourney by losing to Arkansas? Can Florida or Nebraska secure spots in the field with a couple more wins?Want to watch the show instead?

That’s what the commissioners in charge of the CFP talked about on Wednesday, and they have about a month to decide how they want to tweak the CFP format.How would a 14-team playoff look? What about a 16-team format? Why are commissioners considering this? How would it change automatic bids?Next up, West Virginia coach Neal Brown joins the show. He discusses ending the 2023 season with a mayo bath, proving wrong the people who predicted the Mountaineers would finish last in the Big 12 and retaining the best players on the roster in the NIL era.Brown also explains the process of testing out a coach-to-helmet communication system in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. Does he think everyone will be using similar systems this season?Then it’s back to Dear Andy…Does the 12-team format — which may only exist for 2024 and 2025 — favor the teams that finish No. 3 in the Big Ten or SEC?Would Oklahoma’s predicted win total be higher if Dillon Gabriel were still the Sooners’ starting quarterback?Is UCLA in danger of being more like Indiana or Northwestern in the Big Ten?How should schools handle quarterback recruiting in the NIL era?Want to watch the show instead?

Send your questions to andystapleson3@gmail.comThe commissioners who run the College Football Playoff decided Tuesday to shift the format to five automatic bids and seven at-larges to account for the implosion of the Pac-12. But that change might only last two seasons. The commissioners are back at work Wednesday talking about what happens when the original CFP deal expires after the 2025 season. Is this where we see the Big Ten-SEC "advisory group" start to exert its influence?Next, UCF coach Gus Malzahn joins the show to discuss what surprised him in the Knights' first year in the Big 12. Malzahn also talks retaining talent and how he decided to start calling plays again. Plus, he tells the story of how he met a young Eli Drinkwitz.Joe Cook of On3's Inside Texas helps us take a deep dive into the Longhorns' first SEC schedule. Texas has a preseason win total of 10.5, and the Longhorns get Georgia at home. Could Texas win the league in its first year?

There were a lot of experienced, successful returning starters across the country. That isn’t the case this season. We know Carson Beck at Georgia, Shedeur Sanders at Colorado, Jaxson Dart at Ole Miss and Quinn Ewers at Texas, but the other likely starting QBs on contending teams are either transfers or youngsters who have waited their turn.Andy and Jesse Simonton break down the state of the QB position heading into the season.Could a transfer like Will Howard or Dillon Gabriel lead his team to a national title?Is Michigan’s QB1 currently on its roster?Is Ewers for certain the guy at Texas, or will Arch Manning push him at some point in the season?Who will succeed Caleb Williams as USC’s QB1?Will one of the three super sophomores (Tennessee’s Nico Iamaleava, Oklahoma’s Jackson Arnold, Kansas State’s Avery Johnson) emerge as a superstar?Which QB will make the leap in his second season as the starter at his school?Next, Justin Hopkins of On3’s ScoopDuck breaks down Oregon’s schedule. The Ducks are tied with Georgia, Ohio State and Texas for the highest preseason win total on Fanduel at 10.5. Can Oregon be a contender in year one in the Big Ten? Can the Ducks snap their losing streak against Washington?Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube and join us LIVE, M-F, at 8 am et! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
