We're going to go through that.
We have Monday Night Football. The Raiders are a tough, tough, tough watch, and it's really a bummer to see them out there. Cowboys, maybe. Who knows?

Hey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Wednesday, November 19th, and James Madison University has been screwed by the committee. it's a, it's a screw job. The fix is in about to go January 6th on the CFP. This is bad. It's bad. Big cat for a few reasons. Um, number one, it's a travesty. It's a sham mockery. It's a Travis sham mockery. It's disgusting.
It's not right. It's an infringement upon our constitution, which James Madison wrote by the way, uh, they seem to really be hammering home the line that JMU doesn't have any high quality wins. We played one, uh, Power Four conference game this year, which we lost to Louisville. Miami also lost to Louisville.

Chapter 2: How is JMU's ranking controversy explained?
Charlotte is garbage. Temple's not bad. They're at least frisky. So we're rooting against...
Tulane, listen, not personal, just business. If you're a Tulane fan and you're listening to this, not personal, just business. Yeah.
And then we also have to root against North Texas and ECU because that's what they're just going to keep doing. They're going to keep going down the line of American teams. Well, the next one's up.
They probably will, and this is going to be, yeah, it's going to be a situation where we cross our fingers, root for Temple, and then at the same time, you just got to go out and you got to beat Washington State if you're JMU this weekend by 50 points. Mm-hmm. Also, I forgot Navy. They're going to jump to Navy. They probably will, yeah. They would absolutely jump to Navy. You know they would.
Yeah, I'd have a hard time digging up dirt about Navy. Yeah. Okay, other thoughts from the rankings. So you mentioned Miami. Yeah.
It's very funny because I do think that these rankings are – as much as it still doesn't matter because things are going to get worked out, I love these rankings because I actually think it's like a group of people who don't really watch college football and they're kind of dumb and they just – so Miami, if you look at Miami, they would be in the playoff right now because they'd be the highest ACC team.
Miami went from 18 to I think they're now ranked 13 in the last couple of weeks. They didn't really do anything. They played bad teams. But I think that the committee is just admitting, oh, we kind of fucked up on the first time we ranked Miami. We shouldn't have done that. They beat Notre Dame. That's eight spots higher than them. Let's just every week slip them in a little bit more.
And now Miami would be in the playoffs. So right now, if the playoffs were to start today, based on the rankings, it would be one seed Ohio State, two seed Indiana. They obviously have to play in the Big Ten Championship game. Three seed Texas A&M, four seed Georgia. Those are your four buys. Then it would be five seed Texas Tech playing Tulane at the 12 seed. Notre Dame,
going to Norman, Oklahoma, 9-8. Miami going to Ole Miss, that's the 11-6. And then Alabama and Oregon is the 10-7. It's an awesome bracket to look at. I'd be very excited to watch this with this college football playoff. The big winners, though, out of this PFT, I don't know if you agree, but... The winner number one is Georgia because Georgia obviously beats Texas. They get to four.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the latest CFP rankings?
He was like, his appeal must have just been, please? He did the OJ.
I feel like his appeal, I actually, I don't know what, yeah, what his appeal actually looked like.
I do. What? He said if I wanted to spit on him, I would have spat on his face, not on his uniform.
Oh.
I would have done a simple, like, here are all the times Jalen Ramsey was a fucking dick. Like, you could have just gone that route.

Chapter 4: How do fans react to James Franklin's potential move?
Been like, hey, look, someone was going to spit on him eventually. It happened to be me. Yeah, I like that he said, if I really wanted to spit, I'm way better at spitting than that, and I would have drilled him in the face if I wanted to. So, Hank, what does this do to the Patriots' schedule? I hadn't thought about that. I just think it's a more opportunity for Drake May, 300-plus.
350-plus, probably. We'll get to it. We'll get to that, yeah. Don't spoil the stats, Hank. No, I'm just talking about what it means for the game.
But the Bengals not having Jamar Chase is a big deal.
Yeah, it's a shame. It's a shame. You want to beat people at their best. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I think that's everything we got. Let's kick it to ourselves and we'll do more of the show. We got Booger McFarlane and Guys on Chicks and Hot Seat Cool Throne. Okay, before we get to the rest of the show, DraftKings, the NBA season's rolling in DraftKings' newest game.

Okay, boys, Monday Night Football. We had to watch the Raiders play football. I am sick of watching the Raiders play football. I have a question for you, PFT. Is Pete Carroll having fun? No, he's not having fun. He's not having any fun. I can tell because the amount of gum that he chews during a game is way higher. Yeah. Usually he's got like one thin stick of juicy fruit in his mouth.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the new CFP rankings for JMU?
Right.
Anybody's going to do it. And just be like, yeah, I got this in Thailand. It was a fucking crazy story. I feel like that might be better than May I Meet You. Does that happen to every person that gets a black henna tattoo? I believe the place that he went to and got it from, there's a bunch of other reviews of other guys that have the same one burned on their face. Got to go to Yelp.
Got to go on Yelp. Nick really should do a copy paste of the Bill Ackman tweet. And instead of may I meet you, be like, get a black henna tattoo in Thailand and have it scab up. Yeah, it will open up all that.
Chapter 6: How does Booger McFarland evaluate NFL teams' playoff potential?
All women will be interested in what you have to say.
Probably will do well for.
They probably have a higher success rate than May I Meet You. May I Meet You. May I Meet You is tough. I want to see one. Can you try one? I'll try it for you, yeah, certainly. But I can't promise the results. Maybe at Punk Punk on Friday? Ooh. Zach's going to do it to the person at McDonald's, like giving him his food. He's like, May I Meet You. Shoot or shoot? Yeah. That is it. Okay.
Zach, are you roadieing this weekend? Yes, sir. We're going to make sure you get all your gear. I love it. Love it. I think Big Cat and Max are singing a song with us on Friday.
Chapter 7: What are the key factors in coaching changes in college football?
I'm going to try. Hank? I'm going to get myself up for it. Your thoughts? Do you want to sing? Yeah, you asked me this. I was like, do you want me to? You're like, you don't have to. Yeah, but you didn't answer. You can if you want. No pressure. I'm a bad singer. If you want me to, I would love to. You're not bad at anything. Oh, thanks. You're great. We love you. Yeah. You're our guy.
Your cool throne, Zach. My cool throne this week is Jake Paul. Oh. Jake Paul found a replacement fight for the Tank Davis fight that got canceled. But it's Anthony Joshua this time. Ooh.
Chapter 8: How do current college football teams stack up for the playoffs?
Okay. Not good. No. Former heavyweight champion. He's going to get fucked up. But as far as pool goes, I think Anthony Joshua's got a great pool. So I think it was a good swap. I'm out. I'm out on all the Jake Paul fights. But here's what he's doing, PFT. He's now getting to the point where he's maybe getting to a point where you could see him get knocked out. And that's where people get back in.
That's what he's been trying to do for every fight. Every fight has been, oh, this guy could knock him out. No, but this one is apparently way different. This would be the one. If Jake Paul is agreeing to fight anybody.
It never is.
Yes. I think this could be the one. If Jake Paul is agreeing to fight anybody. It's because he has an understanding that he's not going to get knocked out because the second he starts getting his ass kicked, that's when he stops making money off all these fights.
I think even if there's an agreement in the ring, like at a certain point, like these guys are competitors, maybe egos get involved, Anthony Joshua could still just starch them. I think he could too, but I don't think that Jake Paul is taking fights with the understanding that he might lose.
This could be the one.
The faucet stops running the second he gets his ass kicked twice in a row.
I went through a rabbit hole yesterday of going through this, and real fight people are basically saying that this is very dangerous.
Yes. Yes. This might be the end.
