Chapter 2: What are the implications of Chris Cody's punishment involving nuggets?
And then it turned out... Alabama lost to Oklahoma in a historic and embarrassing fashion at the end of the season, which no one saw coming. So it is the beginning of November.
I think I was being a little sarcastic about the loss at the end of the season, but I think that my bigger point is losing the weekend before the first ranking comes out is definitely like one of the worst times to lose, I think. Especially to a conference opponent that has three losses already, including two Big 12 teams that are not even in the Big 12 race right now, TCU and Baylor.
So I think, yeah, it was a bad timing for a Miami loss. But also to Mike's point, they have not been playing well lately, and they need to win out and get very, very lucky, just like a lot of the other teams in that teens range. I've got loads of questions for you.
A month ago, everyone said Texas was done in the CFP, and they win against a Hurtshaw Mateer, edge out Kentucky, need overtime to beat Mississippi State, almost collapse. Mississippi State's sneaky decent. No, I know. And Georgia's got to find out. Stark Vegas. But Texas is back in there.
I think the most interesting thing for me is the lack of discussion when it comes to the Big Ten and how bad the bottom third of that conference is. When you look at these spreads, a lot of good teams are getting fat off the bottom of this conference. And you have a team like Oregon, who's only favored by 6.5 and a very tricky spot against Iowa. You have them in the top 10.
They lost their only ranked game against a now-ranked opponent by double digits at the At home. The best win is against Northwestern. I don't really understand this one. This feels like a reputation Big Ten propaganda machine.
And I wonder how much the Penn State win in overtime on the road is still counting towards Oregon's resume, even though Penn State has now been a much worse team since then, although they also lost their starting quarterback who threw the game losing interception in that game. Mike, your point about Oregon, though, is well taken. So this season they have beaten Oklahoma State, terrible team.
Oregon State, terrible team. Rutgers, Wisconsin. It's just they haven't had to play very many tough teams. But this is where I also think that in a lot of ways, the end of the season, these things kind of will take care of themselves. And especially with Texas, too. Texas still has to play Texas A&M. Texas A&M is the number three team in the country.
That's going to be obviously a very important game. They also still have to play Georgia. They still have to play Arkansas. Arkansas, with their interim Bobby Petrino head coach,

Chapter 3: How do the College Football Playoff rankings impact team morale?
I don't know how anyone's getting home today. All those cars are stuck there for nine hours. Public transportation is how we're getting home, actually. All this for Rafael Nadal.
there was a very interesting thing that was happening in this mayoral election where i i andrew cuomo is obviously such a detestable human being and many new yorkers hate him republican and democrat alike because of his horrible governorship um but because he was molesting right he was a sexual harassment okay i thought he was just italian Well, that's what he claimed.
I almost wore my Italians shirt, but I didn't want that to come across as support. Anyways, I'm Italian. I can make Italian jokes. So the third candidate in the race, Curtis Lewa, who if this were a Miami race, I know the show would have had a lot of fun with. We kind of let that guy slide. People were not standing him, I would say, but they were starting to... just enjoy, enjoy him being around.
His debate answers were very funny. And that's for a politician whose policies are fairly anti-democratic, at least Democratic Party, Democratic, at least. It was a very unique and interesting thing that was happening. I mean, I think it was a very popular Halloween costume this year as well because of his signature red beret. I'll tell you, like in another time, like,
in the era of the rent is too damn high guy. If Curtis Lewin was around, oh my God, we would have had SNL things about him. It would have been the joke of the summer, basically of the year. It's just now things seem to be like everything that we joke about ends up being in charge of everything. Yeah, right. It's like, oh, that's so funny. What if we accidentally elected him as president?
Yeah, I wish I could see.
This funny, weird guy from New York. Chris Cody is in the kitchen right now. He's kneeling over by the garbage can. I don't think this is bit either. I don't think so either. He's really actually struggling. Why doesn't he pace himself a little bit more? He can wait at least an hour until he has to finish it. You guys aren't that close to the end of the show.
You got 39 more and he's got probably about an hour to go in show. Just adjusted his belt. Yep. Oh, the belt's gone.
Who's dog is that? Oh, the belt's gone.

Chapter 4: What are the main controversies surrounding college football officiating this season?
Yeah. No, he's following people around, and Ethan's stepping in shit, walking in it. I know you're thrilled, Amin. Yeah, and oh, my God. I miss Willow. This is how bad it is. I'll let her know. She voted for Cuomo, unfortunately. Jess, I want to play some video here for you. Do you think this qualifies as a Dabo crash out? And this is not going the right way.
I'm curious your thoughts on how this Dabo thing ends at the end of the season. Here we go.
I'm not criticizing. I can't tell you. I ain't going to tell you the game. I'm not going to say the game. But we're only allowed to turn in. There's a system of accountability, but y'all don't know anything about it. It's behind a curtain. How dare we have accountability? In the meantime, we got gambling issues going on, people being suspended, all that kind of stuff, right?
Yep, I mean, refs are people too. It ain't just coaches and players, and if they're a part of the game, then by God, they ought to be a part of the game. And they ought to be a part of the accountability, and they ought to be a part of the consequences, not just behind some shadowy curtain. Like, no, they ought to have to answer for it.
And listen, there's judgment calls and all that, and I mean, we just have to disagree to disagree. But there's also- That's not the same. Absolute flat out misses. Yeah, but there's no public accountability, and none of that. So that's the system, the system needs to change, it needs to be changed. There needs to be challenge opportunity, and we need full time officials.
If you're gonna have this type of stakes, you need to be full time officials. And everybody should have consequences. Shout out to who I think is Greg Doyle in the background typing, because I know that typing anywhere.
Jesus. Clemson's a weird landing spot for him. Jess, your thoughts? For context, there was a very controversial defensive pass interference in which the replay appeared like it actually might have been OPI. In fact, everyone in attendance thought that Duke ends up winning the game. By one point, yeah. I think he's honestly maybe doing a little bit of fan service there.
I think his fans are starting to check out on this. This is the worst Clemson team in, I don't know, 20 years, at least since he took over at Clemson. I was trying to quickly look up their FEI ratings. More than fifth in the preseason? I mean, it sounds right.
yeah it's it's really bad and it's neither side of the ball right now it feels like there's this talent evaluations it feels like the coordinator hires are definitely not working out they were supposed to have this like you know tom allen come in as the defensive coordinator this year it's just been a mess there and i feel like he's trying to speak to the fans and try to get them

Chapter 5: How does the crew evaluate the impact of officiating on game outcomes?
Like we make this a full time job so that it's something that the people can like help the refs out. Like it's something they can focus on. I mean, I know you've done 100 podcasts about basketball officiating, too, so you can speak to it. It's obviously a humongous issue in the WNBA, women's college basketball.
I'm sure men's college basketball, which I don't watch quite as much of, has a fair share of controversy as well. So I don't know what the right answer is, but I think he's definitely speaking to his fans and trying to show that he still cares about this team that is waffling right now and down the stretch. Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right?
Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is won when it hasn't hit triple zero.
Always drink your JƤgermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion.
Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee-pee on an electric fence.
Okay, maybe there are two rules, but the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Jagermeister must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Damn, that's cold. Exactly.
You're finally starting to get it. Drink responsibly. Jagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume, imported by Mass Jagermeister U.S., White Plains, New York. Those jingle bells remind me that holiday basketball is here.
