Ranking the best quarterbacks on college football national title contenders

08/25/21 • 75 min

On the big ep this week, Doug Lesmerises and Shehan Jeyarajah debate whether North Carolina deserves to join the list of College Football Playoff contenders discussed on this podcast. And then they dive into ranking the quarterbacks for all those playoff contenders, from D.J. Uiagalelei at Clemson, to Alabama's Bryce Young, to Oklahoma's Spencer Rattler, to the new young QBs just named starters -- Haynes King at Texas A&M and C.J. Stroud at Ohio State.

The contenders discussed every week so far are Oklahoma, Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Iowa State, Texas A&M, Notre Dame and Oregon. Will North Carolina join that group? And if the Tar Heels do, where does UNC QB Sam Howell rank compared to other QBs on contenders?

Is The College Football Playoff Show ruining college football? Q&A

On this press conference episode of The College Football Playoff Show, Doug Lesmerises and Shehan Jeyarajah dig in on a big topic for a few questions before working their way through other listener questions.

The main idea: Is this podcast ruining college football by focusing on the playoff too much? There's a debate about nationalism vs. regionalism in the sport, and the best way to talk about the game to keep it interesting for every FBS team.

Then it's on to a big recruiting win for North Carolina and what it means for Clemson; whether NIL will keep more stars in college longer; and more of what we make of the Alliance of the Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC.
