Marcus Freeman Turns Down Florida + My Biggest Prediction Wins and Misses

Marcus Freeman said no to Florida — but why would he ever leave Notre Dame? In this episode, Nick breaks down why staying in South Bend makes sense: an easier path to the Playoff, less pressure, and none of the SEC grind that Florida faces year after year. Then, we go back to the preseason prediction show — which teams did Nick absolutely nail, and which ones did he completely whiff on? From Clemson’s struggles and Florida’s regression with DJ Lagway, to Penn State’s collapse and Alabama’s late-season push, it’s time for some accountability. Plus: Nick fires back at critics calling him “SEC-biased,” explains why Big Ten travel is more brutal than most fans realize, and previews the Top 5 games of the weekend — including Michigan vs. Michigan State, Ole Miss at Oklahoma, and more.
