The Players’ Tribune: Les Is More

Les Is More is back and ready for one of the most exciting CFB championship weekends in a long time. Coach is again joined by his daughter, Smacker, and close friend and former Michigan quarterback, John Wangler. Les answers a flurry of fan questions, including the Internet classic about whether it’s better to to fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck (11:09). He and his cohosts then look back at Auburn’s impressive victory over Alabama in the Iron Bowl, and how the defeat will affect the Crimson Tide’s playoff chances (2:08). The trio also review Michigan’s loss to rival Ohio State — the Wolverines’ fourth straight in the series (19:14) — and discuss the outlook for the Buckeyes heading into their matchup against unbeaten Wisconsin in the Big 10 title game (33:51). Les and John also recap Miami’s loss to Pitt (24:32), and talk about how the upset could actually help the Hurricanes in the ACC Championship Game against No. 1 Clemson (31:08). And finally, Coach and the crew analyze the overall playoff picture and make a case for expanding the postseason (36:53).
