January 7th? 😭).We start with the College Football Playoff conversation in full effect: Miami’s statement win, Ole Miss shocking Georgia, Indiana looking like a machine, and Oregon’s defense turning heads. We also get into the transfer portal + NIL “Wild West” problem and why college football desperately needs guardrails (portal timing, transfer limits, and a cap conversation).Then we jump into the NFL Playoffs and give picks for the entire Wild Card slate — including why the Rams are our Super Bowl horse, why the 49ers can roll Philly, and why we think the Texans are the scariest team in the AFC because defense travels.Episode Topics:CFP Quarterfinal/Last Round reactionsMiami’s path + storylines (Cristobal vs Oregon / Mendoza vs Miami)Ole Miss coaching drama + Lane Kiffin narrativeTransfer portal chaos + NIL cap talkNFL Wild Card slate breakdown + upset alertsSuper Bowl predictions + dark horse teamsDrop your CFP + NFL picks in the comments 👇Like, subscribe, and tap in with Tranquilo Sports Talk.#CollegeFootball #CFP #NFLPlayoffs #MiamiHurricanes #IndianaFootball #OregonFootball #OleMiss #Dolphins #Rams #49ers #Texans #WildCardWeekend #TranquiloSportsTalk Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
