The coaching carousel keeps on spinning, but Florida State is not joining the party in 2025. FSU announced on Sunday that Mike Norvell will remain the head coach of the Seminoles in 2026. This announcement comes at the end of a disappointing season that began with a lot of promise. Promises have been made to enhance the roster next season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss why Florida State decided to make this move and if they think it was the right decision. Then, they look to Michigan State where a decision looms. Will the Spartans keep Jonathan Smith or will the current eight-game losing streak be the final straw of a disappointing tenure in East Lansing? Coaching carousel drama would not be complete without another Lane Kiffin update. The guys discuss Kiffin's recent silence on the topic of his coaching decision. They also discuss what will happen to the team that misses out on Kiffin and why this year's selection of candidates is unique to those of the past.
Then, the guys talk about events happening on the field. There are a lot of games this week with massive CFP implications as we close out the regular season. A notable one, and one that Andy thinks may be ready for an upset, is #10 Alabama visiting Auburn. The guys discuss if this game will actually be close and Andy makes his case as to why he thinks this is a potential upset to keep an eye on. Then they chat about the game that will have everyone watching because of Lane Kiffin. #6 Ole Miss visits Mississippi State on Friday for the Egg Bowl. A massive rivalry, propped up by coaching drama, one team trying to reach bowl eligibility and the other team fighting for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Ross and Godfrey dive into the history of this rivalry and what they think may come of it this year. Finally they chat about arguably the biggest rivalry in college football. #1 Ohio State takes on #18 Michigan in The Big House. Michigan is riding a four-game winning streak in this rivalry. The crew talks about how this game could be another chance for Michigan to pull the massive upset, or it could be Ohio State's opportunity to exorcise its demons and snap the losing streak. Plus, Ross gives an update on the CFP extending conversations about the future of the CFP format.
Later, it's time for I've Got A Feeling. Nebraska, Tennessee and Tec de Monterrey are who the guys have a good feeling about this week. Plus, Ross shares some Louisiana Thanksgiving recipes.
