  The Storyline Stock Market + Ole Miss Falloff? + Arch Manning’s Final Year - FFD EP 89

  Aug 10, 20261h 30m

  Welcome back to Episode 89 of Flagged for Discussion! Farbod and Jace kick off the show with the Storyline Stock Market, each managing a $50 budget to invest across five major college football narratives. We break down Lane Kiffin’s Year 1 mission to build a sustainable behemoth at LSU, evaluate whether Big Ten dominance over the SEC will continue for a fourth straight national title, and analyze the immediate impact of major program transformations like James Franklin at Virginia Tech and Matt Campbell at Penn State. They also explore whether a historic 2027 draft-eligible quarterback class could yield seven or more first-rounders, and debate whether the Big 12 is heading toward another winless playoff run following the departure of Brendon Sorsby. The discussion then pivots to a slate of underdiscussed national topics heading into the fall. Farbod and Jace issue a potential falloff warning for Ole Miss following massive roster turnover and coaching changes, make the case for BYU as a quiet Big 12 dark horse, and debate whether Cam Coleman has already earned true WR1 status in college football. Finally, they cover Notre Dame’s quest to replace 2,000 rushing yards after last season's playoff snub, the high-stakes expectations surrounding Arch Manning’s final year in Austin, and whether national outlets are sleeping on Indiana’s title defense purely because of the brand name.

  The hiatus is over, and we are back clearing out a packed summer notebook! On Episode 88 of Flagged for Discussion, we dive into the biggest stories across the college football landscape that we missed while we were away. First, Notre Dame and USC came to their senses, agreeing to move their historic rivalry series out of October/Thanksgiving and exclusively into Weeks 1–3 starting in 2030. Should USC have agreed to bringing the series back? Then, we react to Warde Manuel stepping down as Michigan's Athletic Director. We break down the fallout from the Sherrone Moore investigation and the absurd $7.14M golden parachute, alongside a settlement of with lifetime Michigan sports tickets, paid attorney fees, and permanent university golf privileges. Plus, we examine Dan Lanning’s "We're Close" comments at Big Ten Media Days regarding Oregon’s national championship window, breakdown the ACC's brand-new "Duke Rule" created after Duke broke their tiebreaker system, and react to: Kyle Whittingham insisting he doesn't hate Ryan Day Curt Cignetti talking big about the B1G only for Indiana to schedule 0 Power 4 non-conference games James Franklin declaring Virginia Tech the "offseason champions" Lane Kiffin quitting social media Jon Sumrall's bi-weekly in-season pedicure routine Michael Lombardi being placed on paid-administrative leave Follow us here: TikTok: @flagged4discussion Twitter/X: @f4discussion YouTube: flaggedfordiscussion Everywhere you get podcasts: flaggedfordiscussion

  Who is the Ultimate QB1? + Drafting the Top 20 FBS QBs - FFD Ep 87

  Jul 20, 202642 min

  JACE GOT MARRIED ON FRIDAY! To celebrate we have a fun game planned. With the wedding festivities officially wrapped up, we are jumping right back into the film room for the ultimate exercise in roster building: The 2026 Power 4 College Football Quarterback Draft. The rules are simple: We are drafting 20 quarterbacks based purely on who we would want most to lead a program this coming season. Whether it's selecting an elite, plug-and-play veteran to chase a national title right now, or grabbing a dynamic underclassman to build around for the next few seasons, any strategy is on the table. We go pick-by-pick through a 10-round snake draft to lock in our definitive predictions for the top 18 signal-callers in the country. We debate the massive battle at the top of the board between Jace's choice of Dante Moore and Farbod locking in Julian Sayin, break down the absolute steals in the middle rounds like Drew Mestemaker and Josh Hoover, and highlight the high-upside underclassmen taken late like Devon Dampier and Bryce Underwood.
