Thy ticket, Lady Jennifer of Coolidge.

Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings.

The crown is yours.

Today is Friday, January 2nd.

Happy New Year's, guys.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Happy 2026.

And let me just say, to start 2026, if you are a regular fan of college football, let's say 95% of us out there that don't root for the Blue Bloods,

Let's call us haters.

What a start to the new year.

Because we watched in 24 hours Ohio State, Alabama, and Georgia all lose.

The Red Bloods.

Yeah.

And I think, if memory serves, since we've gone to the 14 playoff and now to the 12-team playoff, I think this might be the first year where none of those teams are in the Final Four.

So, yeah, we got all new colors.

Yeah, we got Oregon versus Indiana in one side of the bracket, Ole Miss versus Miami in the other side.

Joe Klatt's probably going to feel a little stupid right now because Miami, incredible.

Let's start with that one, Miami.

just absolutely manned up Ohio State on New Year's Eve.
