THE College Football Podcast

It's only just now the end of February. The offseason trudges on. Today, lacking anything better to do, Canada and Luke take on the post-Signing Day, way-too-early top 25 rankings that are currently proliferating the various ESPN-esque websites. (And, specifically, ESPN.)

Also, Luke continues his Oscar movie spree, having checked another three off the list, and the boys share their most libelous power rankings to date: Top Five Most Unlikable Coaches.

It's been six-plus weeks since the college football season rolled to a rather climactic close, and this week . . . not a lot happened. And that, my friends, is what you have to thank for the vast array of Winter Olympics wisdom proffered by Canada at the front of today's episode.

It's not all hockey and curling though. The boys also break down the new rules proposals, spending way too much time on the headline-grabbing one that has virtually no chance of being instituted, and share the most educational Power Rankings segment to date: top five coaches with whom to go out drinking.

SEC Defensive Player of the Year Michael Sam set an historic precedent this week, becoming the first presumptive NFL Draft pick to announce that he is gay. CA and Luke discuss what this means for college football, the NFL and Sam himself. And yes -- it is a big deal.

Beyond that, the boys discuss the news of the week, particularly the insane Damore'ea Stringfellow and Cyler Miles post-Super Bowl alleged assault spree; Max Wittek's visit to Texas and his current transfer options; and a recap of the big stories from National Signing Day. Plus power rankings: The top 5 impact true freshmen of 2013.

Canada and Luke drop in with a quick take on National Signing Day and predictions on five of the top uncommitted players. It's as painless and accessible as can be, with Canada touching on everything you need to know without assuming any prior knowledge on your part. Can't beat that, right?

Further, the boys discuss Tennessee's recent contract with Nike, and how its value reconciles Tennessee's on-field performance with the football program's overall brand equity. And on that note, what are the five best football programs as "brands"? Power rankings time. . . .

The college football offseason marches on, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to talk about. Canada and Luke discuss the week's burning questions, such as what exactly is happening with the Northwestern players and what would unionizing mean going forward?

Other news and notes are rounded up as well, including Jacob Coker transferring to Alabama, Ricky Town switching his verbal from Bama to USC, Art Kaufman hiring on with Cal, and Max Wittek transferring . . . somewhere. Also, the boys offer their offseason-coaching-hire power rankings.
