From iconic mascots and underrated classics to some truly questionable design choices, the guys rank every Mid-American Conference logo while celebrating the beautiful chaos that makes MACtion one of the best traditions in college football.

Good news came out of college football this week... somehow.

Ciarnan and Kev dive into the conclusion of the Brendan Sorsby saga after declared for the NFL Supplemental Draft, discussing how Texas Tech's gamble on a quarterback turned into one of the biggest offseason controversies in the sport despite the fact that Sorsby is, by most accounts, pretty mid. The guys break down the NCAA's handling of the situation, gambling rules in college sports, and whether Sorsby actually has an NFL future.

They also discuss Arch Manning's continued grip on the college football world, Zachariah Branch reportedly leaving USC over facility restrictions, college football's obsession with neutral-site games, and why Notre Dame always seems to find its way into the conversation.

Plus, thoughts on TCU's shamrock-themed uniforms ahead of the Aer Lingus Classic and a heated debate over field storming. Their conclusion? The only teams storming the field are either poverty programs or little brothers.

College football chaos, NCAA controversy, transfer portal drama, and plenty of hot takes. It's all here.

They blame Brendan Sorsby after his punishment was reduced from stripped eligibility to a two game suspension, discussing the fallout, NCAA gambling policies, and whether the organization has any idea how to handle sports betting in 2026. They also react to rumors that some programs may be reluctant to schedule Texas Tech moving forward and debate whether the NCAA is creating more problems than it's solving.

They also discuss Nick Saban calling on Congress to help save college football, Mike Leach landing on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot, Virginia Tech receiving a massive $75 million donation, North Dakota getting caught tampering in one of the dumbest ways imaginable, UCLA's Karson Gordon entering the transfer portal as a track athlete, and Virginia vs. NC State being moved from Brazil back to Charlottesville.

Then it's time for another logo history deep dive, this time covering the Pac-12... or what's left of it. From iconic mascots and forgotten classics to unnecessary gradients, questionable redesigns, and some surprisingly great branding decisions, the guys break down every school's logo history and debate which programs got it right and which completely missed the mark.

College football chaos, NCAA controversy, transfer portal nonsense, Pac-12 logo history, and plenty of hot takes. It's all here.

This week, Ciarnan and Kev are breaking down some of the wildest stories in sports. Starting off with the NCAA denying Brendan Sorsby reinstatement request, as the duo discusses if league rules need adjusting to match the current state of gambling laws. The two then turn to Ed Orgeron returing to Lane Kiffin's staff at LSU with all the hilarious way that could go wrong, and discuss the SEC potentially seceding from the NCAA (apparently they did not learn their lesson the first time).

The boys also break down the Protect College Sports Act, as well as the NCAA's continued investigation into age based eligibility requirements, before diving into the history of Big 12 logos! From anthropomorphic birds hitting the town to overdesigns all the way to way too minimalism, they have it all in one of the strongest showings of conference logos so far.

Plus, reactions to Lane Kiffin stirring up SEC discourse once again and the rivalry drama already building for next season.

Then the conversation shifts into a full ACC logo history deep dive. From classic map-inspired conference branding to cursed mascots and questionable redesigns, Kevin and Ciarnan debate which ACC logos stand the test of time and which schools completely missed the mark.
