Happy New Year and welcome back to Tranquilo Sports Talk — our first sports episode of 2026 and we’re already all over the place (Three Kings Day? January 6th? January 7th? 😭).

We start with the College Football Playoff conversation in full effect: Miami’s statement win, Ole Miss shocking Georgia, Indiana looking like a machine, and Oregon’s defense turning heads. We also get into the transfer portal + NIL “Wild West” problem and why college football desperately needs guardrails (portal timing, transfer limits, and a cap conversation).

Then we jump into the NFL Playoffs and give picks for the entire Wild Card slate — including why the Rams are our Super Bowl horse, why the 49ers can roll Philly, and why we think the Texans are the scariest team in the AFC because defense travels.
