Justin jumps in with Jake and Will for a loaded episode of Keep 3 Cut 5.

First up, the guys tackle all-time Running Backs and Quarterbacks. Adrian Peterson. Reggie Bush. Cam Newton. Tim Tebow. Johnny Manziel. Vince Young. And more.

Only three can stay. Five get cut.

Some of these decisions are controversial.

Then things shift to the 301 Touchdown Challenge. Think darts 501, but college football style. Start at 301 and subtract touchdown totals. Closest to zero wins.

Strategy matters. One bad pick can ruin your board.

Who made the worst cut?

Who dominated 301?

Who completely mismanaged the math?

Play along and see how your board stacks up.

College football is changing fast — and now schools are paying their way into the future.

This week we break down North Dakota State joining the Mountain West and Sacramento State’s massive financial commitment to enter the MAC. Are these smart long-term investments, or risky gambles for relevance?

We also discuss the Big Ten’s reported 24-team College Football Playoff proposal, the potential elimination of conference championship games, and what that could mean for the sport.

Plus, we react to the Trinidad Chambliss eligibility ruling at Ole Miss and what it says about courts stepping into NCAA governance.

Is this evolution… or is college football losing its structure?

Jake puts Will in the hot seat with Keep 3, Cut 5 – College Football Edition.

Three categories. Eight elite players in each. Only three can stay.

They start with Running Backs from the CFP era, then move to Wide Receivers, and finish with Quarterbacks. Heisman winners. National champions. All-time great seasons.

Some of these cuts are brutal.

Did Will disrespect a legend?
Did he overvalue peak over résumé?
Were the QB decisions flat-out wrong?

Play along as you listen and decide your own Keep 3 for:
• RBs
• WRs
• QBs

Who actually belongs in the top 10 coaches in college football right now?

We put the question to Twitter and let fans weigh in. In our first episode of the offseason, we break down the results, group the coaches into tiers, and react to where belief is strong and where skepticism still exists.

Some results were obvious. Others sparked real debate.

Tune in to a special interview episode of Walk-On Redshirts, with former 5-star and current rising football commentator star, Max Browne. Max shares stories from being recruited by major programs like USC, Alabama, and Wisconsin, to dunking in front of Coach Huepel, and even what his favorite cheese is!

Indiana just completed one of the most improbable seasons in college football history, finishing 16–0 and winning its first national championship. On this episode of The Walk-On Redshirts, we break down how the Hoosiers beat Miami, the plays that decided the title game, and why this championship represents a turning point for the sport.

We dive into Fernando Mendoza’s defining performance, Curt Cignetti’s program-altering impact, what Miami did right and what ultimately cost them, and what Indiana’s title means in the new College Football Playoff era.

This was not a fluke. This was history.

The College Football Playoff National Championship is set: Miami Hurricanes vs Indiana Hoosiers.

Indiana has reached this point by doing everything right—protecting the football, converting third downs, and playing efficient, mistake-free football. Miami thrives on pressure, speed, and forcing opponents into chaos. So the question is simple: how do you beat a team that doesn’t make mistakes?

In this episode, we break down the full national championship matchup, including:

• What changed from Indiana vs Oregon this time around

• Miami’s ability to pressure Fernando Mendoza and create turnovers

• Why third down efficiency may decide the title

• The importance of starting fast for Miami

• How Indiana controls games without needing explosive plays

• Historical context for large national championship spreads

• Final picks and keys to the game

One team needs to create mistakes.
The other just needs to avoid them.

The College Football Playoff is down to four, and the trenches are deciding everything.

We recap Round 2 of the CFP, breaking down Indiana’s dominance over Alabama, Miami overwhelming Ohio State at the line of scrimmage, Ole Miss surviving a thriller against Georgia, and Oregon shutting out Texas Tech. From missed field goals to quarterback composure, the margins are shrinking fast.

Then it’s full CFP Semifinal previews:
• Indiana vs Oregon in the Peach Bowl
• Miami vs Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl

We dive into trench matchups, quarterback play, key stats, and game scripts that will decide who moves on to the national title.

No fluff. No gimmicks. Just playoff football being decided up front.
