CFB Week 5 Draft
Let’s draft the top 3 can’t-miss matchups or players of Week 5.
Already on deck: No. 6 Oregon at No. 3 Penn State is the headliner in Happy Valley.
Also, Alabama visits Georgia — a primetime SEC slugfest.
NFL Underdogs — Who’s Poised to Shock?
Teams flying under radar: A weak start by the Titans has fans already calling for a change.
Meanwhile, Caleb Williams is turning heads early in Chicago with a breakout performance.
Let’s debate: which of these is more sustainable — the underdog surprise or early hype burnout?
Legend vs. Legend — Cross-Era Throwdowns
In the NFL, maybe Jerry Rice vs. Justin Jefferson; in hoops, Larry Bird vs. Luka Dončić; pick your sport.
Which legend’s game would translate the best to 2025’s playing style?
CFB Multiverse — What If the 12-Team Playoff Existed in 2015?
Re-run the 2015 season under a 12-team format.
How would that have altered outcomes for Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, etc.?

Best Spot in the Country for College GameDay
Use current matchups to make a case: Penn State–Oregon or Georgia–Alabama are solid picks.
Qualities to weigh: crowd energy, scenic stadiums, traditions (smoke, bands, mascots).

Traditions (e.g. Nebraska’s “Walk,” Michigan’s “The Victors”)
Atmosphere (where do fans stay loud?)
Stadium (location, design, capacity)
Brand & uniforms
Bonus twist: your program must beat Oregon–Penn State in a hypothetical title game.
Worst Decision in NFL History
Going for it on 4th and long, trading away prime talent, mid-game coaching blunders.
Did recent teams (like the Titans’ decision to kick instead of go for it) echo past mistakes?
Audience shout-out: listeners text in their picks from modern eras too.
Would Travis Kelce Be a Superstar Without Mahomes?
What’s the leverage: Kelce’s route-running, physicality, leadership.
Compare with tight ends who had lesser QBs.
Bring in: “does a TE ever carry a QB, or is it always QB → TE synergy?”
If Coaches Had to Suit Up
Imagine Nick Saban, Bill Belichick, Mike Tomlin playing on the field for their teams. Who’s best built to survive?
Consider: age, athleticism, scheme familiarity, physical demand.Ryder Cup vs. Olympics in International Golf
