Episode Description — Under the Dome: CFP Round 1 Preview
Welcome back to Under the Dome College Football Podcast with hosts Jesse Randall, Barry Owens, and Ryan Reaves as we dive head-first into Round 1 of the brand-new 12-team College Football Playoff.
This week, we’re joined by a special guest: Andrew Barry, Vendor Manager at MidFirst Bank and proud Oklahoma alum who works closely with Black Dome. Andrew brings sharp insight, strong Big 12 takes, and a little OU flavor to the Dome.
Together, the crew breaks down all the CFP Round 1 matchups — including:
12-seed James Madison vs 5-seed Oregon
8-seed Oklahoma vs 9-seed Alabama
11-seed Tulane vs 6-seed Ole Miss
7-seed Texas A&M vs 10-seed Miami
Plus, the group dives into:
Which teams were truly snubbed from the bracket
Why Texas Tech might be the dark-horse nobody wants to face
The speed, athleticism, and revamped identity of the Red Raiders
How stylistic matchups — size vs. speed, downhill football vs. spread offenses — may shape Round 1
Just how many teams legitimately have a shot to win it all (10? 12? Maybe fewer…)
Andrew closes the episode with some Sooner pride (“Boomer!”), plenty of laughs, and some strong takes that Aggies, Sooners, and college football fans alike will appreciate.
If you love playoff debates, underdog hype, and honest banter between friends who live and breathe college football, this is your episode.
Listen now and step Under the Dome. 🎙️🏈
