The ACC spring meetings have wrapped up and Commissioner Jim Phillips shared his and the ACC's support of a 24-team playoff. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss his reasoning behind wanting such a drastic expansion and how much impact this stance has on playoff expansion moving forward. The guys also share their thoughts on if they think the playoff should expand and what impact expansion would have. Andy and Godfrey also discuss Commissioner Phillips' idea of a universal tiebreaker system across all conferences.

Then, Andy and Godfrey look to the upcoming season. Some kickoff times for various games in the 2026 season were announced this week. The guys discuss what they think of the matchups and which they are most looking forward to. College Gameday’s locations have been announced for the first two weeks of the season. Although Week 3 has not been announced, it is widely assumed that Lane Kiffin and LSU's trip to Ole Miss will be the location of Week 3's College Gameday. Andy and Godfrey talk about what may happen in Oxford that weekend. They also look at what has been released for Thanksgiving weekend's slate of games.

Later, neutral site games are the topic of choice. Florida State and Georgia have announced they will play a neutral site game in 2028 after they previously cancelled their home-and-home series. Andy and Godfrey talk about what they think of the switch to a neutral site game and they share their thoughts on neutral site games in general.
