  • Why Penn State’s time is NOW with Matt Campbell | ACC & Conference Tiebreakers | Nate Bargatze lands Jared Curtis a movie role
    May 14 2026

    As the college football coaching carousel was in full swing this past offseason, Penn State’s hire of Matt Campbell was one of the more notable fillings in the sport. Filling in for James Franklin after 12 season, the former Iowa State head coach made sure Penn State was worth leaving Ames for. Watch here as Andy & Ari talk with the new Nittany Lion head coach in Matt Campbell.

    Once the fellas wrap up Penn State and Matt Campbell, the guys head back to the ACC, where another piece of news regarding tiebreakers in conference standings was addressed. Watch here as Andy explains why Jim Phillips and the ACC want to introduce universal tiebreakers, but why the SEC and Big Ten want no part of it. Do you agree?

    In this week’s edition of Who Am I, Ari tries to guess this week’s iconic college football player.

    To close out, Andy & Ari look into an interesting piece of news as Nate Bargatze has landed Jared Curtis a role in his next movie. Will we see more of this in CFB?

    Once Andy & Ari wrap up the College Football Playoff discussion, the fellas need to run through some kickoff times. As a number of traditional rivalry games have been set with kickoff times, the one overarching game on the schedule is LSU traveling to Oxford, Mississippi, in week 3. What other games are you excited for?

    Later, Andy & Ari head over to the Alabama message board, where Crimson Tide fans caught wind of a bold prediction from KSR’s Nick Roush.

    To close the show, Andy sits down with Duke head coach Manny Diaz from Amelia Island at the ACC Spring meetings. Winning the ACC Championship this past season, Diaz discusses his QB leaving, what he’s learned at Duke, and how to continue being competitive in this age of college football. Can Duke win the ACC again?
