Bleav in UNC23 Des 2025

Playoff Truths, Power Conferences, and Chapel Bill

On this episode of Bleav in UNC, Carolina’s Own break down a loaded first round of the College Football Playoffs and tackle the biggest debates coming out of the weekend.

The show opens with a deep dive into Alabama Crimson Tide vs Oklahoma Sooners, where Alabama erased a 17 point deficit and reminded everyone why experience and late season momentum still matter in the postseason. The guys debate whether Alabama deserved a playoff spot with three losses and what that comeback says about their ceiling moving forward.

Next, the conversation shifts to the ACC spotlight game as Miami Hurricanes traveled to College Station and held Texas A&M Aggies to just three points. Ronnie, Block, and JD discuss how Miami’s defense validated the ACC’s presence in the playoff field and why hostile environments still matter in December football.

The hottest topic of the episode centers on the Group of Five debate. The guys examine blowout losses by Tulane Green Wave and James Madison Dukes, and ask the hard question. Should smaller programs be included in the same playoff as Power Four teams, or is it time for a separate championship structure? The conversation digs into competitive balance, player safety, injuries, and what fairness really looks like in modern college football.

From there, the crew gives predictions for the next round of CFP games including:

Alabama Crimson Tide vs Indiana Hoosiers

Ohio State Buckeyes vs Miami Hurricanes

Georgia Bulldogs vs Ole Miss Rebels

Oregon Ducks vs Texas Tech Red Raiders

The episode closes with a Chapel Hill focused discussion on Bill Belichick, addressing ongoing NFL rumors tied to Atlanta, Cleveland, and New York. The guys evaluate fit, culture, age, roster construction, and whether Chapel Hill may ultimately be Belichick’s final stop.

Finally, the show hits on UNC football news with the departure of standout defensive lineman Tyler Thompson, breaking down what his loss means for Carolina’s defense, NFL upside, and the evolving transfer portal reality.
