Because of a deal that Connor and Marler made, it was Marler's turn to settle on a game of his choosing for It Just Meant More. Not surprisingly, Marler went with 2013 Alabama at Texas A&M. A pair of national title contenders faced off in a shootout for the ages. The 2-time defending champs squared off with Johnny Manziel following his Heisman season and wild offseason. The guys have tons and tons of takes from a classic game in College Station, including a special surprise in the middle of ...

The late Tennessee legend was the subject of today's Debates Down South. The guys talked about an extremely controversial year in which Paul Hornung took home the award despite his 3-13 TD-INT ratio for the 2-8 Irish. So did Hornung deserve to win?

The guys have an all-time game to look back on. In honor of the late Pat Dye, the guys decided to dig into the game that became a launching point for his time at Auburn.

Let's stay on the 2020 theme and talk about disappointment. The guys have an interesting discussion to dig into as it relates to that. Who was the SEC's most disappointing team of the 21st century? There have been plenty of them. The guys narrow the list down to a "Flopped 5" and look back on the preseason buzz and postseason autopsy of each of their seasons. And of course, they answer the most important question at the end of the episode. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler Learn more about your...

We picked the longest game in NCAA history to recap because it was all sorts of wild. The epic 7-overtime thriller in the 2018 regular season finale was the last game that LSU lost, and ironically, it was probably the most important game that Jimbo Fisher won. The guys have a full recap of all the people and moments that fueled a crazy, unpredictable, never-ending game. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler Learn more about your ad choices.

We have an all-time game to look back on, folks.

The guys look back at a game and a season that forever made Phillip Fulmer a legend in Knoxville. What went wrong for Houston Nutt?

Yes, we're talking Bama today. It's a debate that many college football fans had during and after the 2017 regular season ended, but the Crimson Tide won the last Playoff spot. Obviously, we know what happened after that (the Sugar Bowl win, 2nd and 26, etc.). Today, however, is strictly devoted to examining the Playoff-worthiness of Alabama and Ohio State in 2017.

We've got a classic debate to discuss involving a pair of SEC programs (South Carolina was independent in 1980). It's Herschel Walker vs. George Rogers for the 1980 Heisman Trophy. Ask Georgia fans and they'll tell you it wasn't much of a debate. Herschel didn't even finish second that year, but in his attempt to become the first true freshman winner ever, many felt that age was the lone factor working against him. Was the wrong decision made? And should we remember Rogers differently? The guys ...

The guys detailed the craziness that unfolded and looked back at some of the events that followed Elijah Moore's fake dog pee celebration.
