Virginia Tech has found their man. James Franklin is set to become Virginia Tech's next head football coach. It was a short break for Franklin after being fired from Penn State just a few weeks ago. Can he bring the Hokies back to the top of the ACC? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss Franklin's decision. Is Virginia Tech the right fit for Franklin and why did he make this choice now? How successful can he be in Blacksburg?
Then, the guys look into another important bit of coaching news as we move from the ACC to the SEC. The Lane Kiffin saga continues to get more complicated by the day. Kiffin's family was spotted checking out both Baton Rouge and Gainsville as Florida and LSU continue to try to lure Kiffin away from Ole Miss. Now, Ole Miss has given Kiffin a deadline to make a decision. Andy, Ross and Godfrey take a look at the situation from the sides of both Kiffin and Ole Miss. Then, they chat about what they think Kiffin will do and how this whole process will play out.
Later, the guys preview Tuesday night's College Football Playoff rankings. With the CFP chair, Baylor AD Mack Rhoades, stepping down, Utah AD Mark Harlan steps in to fill the Big 12's spot on the committee and Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek is set to become the new CFP chair. How will this change affect the committee? Plus, how might Oklahoma beating Alabama shake up the rankings and could a team like Oregon suffer as a result? Also, the Big Ten's deal with UC Investments presses pause. Ross has the latest update on the ever-evolving situation.
