More 'Vanity Fair' Fallout, Sark Piles On, and the 24-Team Playoff Nobody Asked For

About this episode

The episode discusses Lane Kiffin's comments on Ole Miss recruiting, Steve Sarkisian's response, and the controversial 24-team playoff proposal.

Lane Kiffin made comments in his “Vanity Fair” piece about Ole Miss recruiting and race that are making waves, and now Steve Sarkisian is also taking the opportunity to take a shot at the Rebels. What both coaches said reveals some interesting insights into the SEC's increasingly public grudge matches. Then: the 24-team playoff has real momentum now, and Bruce and Stew aren't happy about it. In mailbag, could we do a creative "NIT-style" bowl alternative? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
