Things Discussed:

Al Borges has groupies.
Iowa takeaways: 26-0 was good. Can't be 26-3, needed to come down after the intensity of OSU.
Offense missed some opportunities: get a catch from Barner or Loveland and it looks different.
Love that they gave Semaj Morgan another chance to get on the mic.
Using Edwards: get him running, not reading.
Sainristil: He's going to be drafted. Iowa: yes, but there were non-Iowa moments. He's playing cornerback very well.
Portal talk: Not worried about Trente anymore. Walter Nolen? Sam says they need clarity on whether he's even in the portal. Hard to move on a QB when you don't know what you've got. They're in on the OL from A&M. Can't offer starting spots.
CFP: Absolutely got it wrong. FSU had a better end to the season than Alabama, their 2nd string QB will be back, all of the arguments for Alabama are ridiculous post-hoc excuses for putting an SEC team in the Playoff. Michigan ends up better off because Texas is a tougher matchup than Bama for Michigan.
How good you are is what you've done this season. They put Cincy and MSU in the Playoff; they've never chosen the S&P+ teams—always the most deserving.
Brian: If Michigan wins out Harbaugh should offer to split it with FSU. If Alabama and FSU win out, FSU should be the national champion.
Hoops: Defense isn't the sum of their parts.
