Would Steve Sarkisian really mess with Texas?

As John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) got ready for the upcoming College Football Playoff semifinals, rumors started to circulate that Sarkisian would draw interest from NFL teams.

We saw the NFL briefly court Marcus Freeman, but to no avail.

Sarkisian leaving for the NFL would not only re-open the head-coaching carousel, but would put Texas between a rock and a hard place in 2025.

Also, Georgia was able to land Zachariah and Zion Branch in the transfer portal.

Just when you thought the college football season was about to wind down, False Start has more steam than a locomotive coming down the track, brother!

John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) reacted to the wild weekend that was, as well as got ready for the upcoming semifinals that are happening in a week and change.

New year, same us and this is False Start.

Last podcast for the year, so they had to make it count.

John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) were back at it with another edition of False Start on a Monday.

With the College Football Playoff's four national quarterfinals being underway around the holiday, the guys made their predictions as to who will be advancing to the semifinals.

Also, Iowa State showed them something in the Pop-Tarts Bowl vs. Miami.

Plus, has Dabo Swinney really gotten with the times to embrace the transfer portal for once?

While it is not exactly the Elite Eight, these eight College Football Playoff teams are elite enough!

On the day after Christmas, John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) were back at it with another crazy episode of False Start!

With their powers combined, they power ranked the eight remaining teams in the playoff, as well as put some of their best players onto NFL teams, bruh.

Although Georgia will be without Carson Beck for the duration, possibly forever, the guys do not seem to think it is that much of an issue for national title-contender Georgia.

If you need help ringing in the new year, let False Start be your favorite soundtrack!

The little lights aren't twinkling, Clark.

We made it through the first round of the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff, but are we really better for it?

As John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) used every last little bit of bandwidth to bring to The Starters a well-constructed playoff reaction show, the chalk prevailing nearly ended them.

None of the first-round games were close with home teams Notre Dame, Penn State, Texas and Ohio State all advancing in convincing fashion.

Hopefully, the guys' takes were spicier than the first-round games we saw.

False Start is coming in hot, unlike the increasingly frigid weather outside.

We have made it!

The first 12-team College Football Playoff commences on Friday night with No. 7 Notre Dame hosting No. 10 Indiana.

While every home team is favored this weekend, John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) believe a few upsets could be had in the first-round of the playoff.

Although most people are looking towards No. 9 Tennessee potentially getting the best of No. 8 Ohio State, what about No. 10 Indiana upsetting No. 7 Notre Dame?

Even if the chances of No. 11 SMU defeating No. 6 Penn State or No. 12 Clemson getting the best of No. 5 Texas seem a bit slim, we have never seen first-round playoff games at a home team's stadium before.

False Start will be with you until the bitter end, so get ready for that!

The College Football Playoff starts now!

While John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) will have more to unpack in the lead-up to this weekend's games, they decided to look at the quarterbacks first.

What quarterback rooms got the boys excited, and which ones are not worth writing home about?

Also, they took a look at a few high-end, incoming head coaches and tried to figure out who will have the most success in year one.

This obviously includes Bill Belichick taking over Cody's beloved North Carolina Tar Heels.

The weather outside may be weather, but at least you have got some False Start!
