Best Conference Games of 2024 and USC Struggles with Recruiting in 2025

On today’s episode, Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI’s Pat Forde pick which 2024 conference games will be the most entertaining. They make their case for top matchups like Georgia vs. Alabama, Texas vs. Texas A&M and more.

After the break, Wetzel shares a video of a content creator who mocked UMass’ football stadium. They react to the video and weigh in on whether there’s a stadium worse than McGuirk Alumni Stadium.

They’re following up on recent national recruiting buzz for programs like Oregon, SMU and Rutgers, and are targeting USC, which lost several five-star defensive linemen in the past month.

Closing the show, Wetzel tells the story of an Alabama fan whose funeral was held at Bryant-Denny Stadium while the Crimson Tide was playing away against Florida.
