College Football Championship Week 15 & CFP Top 4 Reaction & Recap

Gary and Chris recap and react to College Football Championship Week 15, and to the College Football Playoff announcement. Here are the topics discussed:

  • [2:55] LSU put a beating on Georgia in the SEC Championship game.
  • [14:01] Ohio St looked awful early, but dominated the 2nd half in a 34-21 win over Wisconsin.
  • [24:40] Oregon destroyed Utah on Friday night, knocking the Utes out of the playoff
  • [31:20] Oklahoma escapes Baylor in OT in the Big 12 Title Game 30-23
  • [43:50] Memphis 29-24 win over Cincinnati was the most entertaining game of the day, and FAU's 49-6 win over UAB were the curtain calls for Memphis coach Mike Norvell before he took the Florida St job, and Lane Kiffin took the Ole Miss job. The CFP top 4 was announced at this time, so discussion shifted to the surprise that LSU jumped Ohio St as the #1 overall seed, setting up Ohio St vs Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl and LSU vs Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl.
  • [1:18:55] Clemson demolished Virginia in the ACC Championship, scoring TDs on 8 of 11 drives.
  • [1:21:57] Boise State's defense completely stopped Hawaii in a 31-10 win in the MWC championship
  • [1:27:19] Always bet the underdog in the MAC title game, and App St held on for dear life to win 45-38 vs Louisiana in the Sun Belt title game.

Lots of discussion tossed in there about who deserves to be ranked highly, who Memphis will play in Cotton Bowl, who will be the next Memphis coach, is the SEC better than the Big 10, and more!

Gary Segars

Gary began his first website in 1998 as a sophomore in high school, writing reviews of cds and live shows in the Memphis area. He became editor of his college newspaper, then moved towards a career in music.He started the infamous MemphisTider.com blog during the 2006 football season, and was lucky enough to get into blogging just before the coaching search that landed Nick Saban at Alabama. The month and a half long coaching search netted his site, which was known for tracking airplanes, over 1 million hits in less than 90 days. The website introduced Gary to tons of new friends, including Nico and Todd, who had just started the site RollBamaRoll.com.After diving into more than just Alabama news, Gary started up his first installment of WinningCuresEverything.com in 2012. After keeping the site quiet for a while, it was started back up in April 2016. Gary then joined forces with high school friend Chris Giannini and began a podcast during the 2016 football season that runs at least 2 times a week, focusing on college football, NFL football, and sports wagering, and diving into other sports and pop-culture topics.E-mail: gary@winningcureseverything.com Twitter: @GaryWCE
