CFP Review, NFL Preview, and a Sports Business Master Class
About this episode
On the first Game Over of 2026, Max had to start with talk of Rich’s Buckeyes (6:17): What went wrong for them, and what went right for Miami? The pair also hit the other CFP games before looking ahead to this weekend’s NFL action (24:00). What game are they most excited for? They also bounce around a few NBA topics, later ending with a master class on sports business, building brands, and marketing from Rich Paul (44:04). Plus: Which commercial made Max so angry during the football games last night?!?
