Hey, hey, where you been, but got to talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to the Book Eye Talk, and this is not Book Eye Talk. This is the College Football Survivor Show in the Book Eye Talk feed for this Wednesday.

It's Doug Lamarice, and I'm doing this for two reasons. One without three. Uh-uh, three, that's three.

One is this is the College Football Survivor Show Big Ten Playoff Breakdown. On that show, we are going through the five major conferences and doing best, most likely playoff team, playoff dark horse, most likely Heisman candidate, Heisman dark horse,

most important game of the year for the playoff race, the team that could spoil the playoff race for somebody, the team that in five years will be in the playoff mix that isn't right now, and then we're putting everybody on the record who's actually going to make the playoff.

So I think you care about that. That's a, that's a book I talk we would do. So for it to be in this feed is not crazy. So I think you will enjoy it if you care about, because I guess what?

Talk about, it'll mean like what you think we're talking about Minnesota the whole time. It's an Ohio State podcast.

So it's me, it's my co-host on the College Football Survivor Show, Shahanjay Haraja, and it's our old friend Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com.

We do that for an hour and a half, and I think you'll like it. So that's the number one thing. If I didn't think you would like it, I wouldn't clog up this feed with it.

Number two is, hey, you know, I'm still doing this by myself. Steve, it'll be back soon, but he's still a little under the weather.

So, you know, I did a big long podcast. If I can drop it on two feeds instead of one, save a podcast for a day, what the heck?

So if you listen to College Football Survivor Show already, you're getting the same podcast in both feeds just this week.

The other thing is, third thing is, if you listen to Buck, I talk on any kind of regular basis, and you do not listen to the College Football Survivor Show, it's another little invitation.

Now, we don't talk all about Ohio State there all the time. Of course, Ohio State comes up because Ohio State's in the playoff mix.

But it's a lot of Alabama, it's a lot of Clemson, it's a lot of Georgia, it's a lot of who's next, it's a lot of USC, and Oklahoma, and Texas ever do anything and is Michigan going to stay there.

So, you know, it's one of those things that if you kind of like me on a podcast and you like College Football, maybe try it.

So, this is an invitation to try it. I know a lot of you have, and if you tried it and didn't like it, thank you.

If you tried it, and now you now listen on any kind of regular basis with the College Football Survivor Show, thank you, thank you.

But if you've never listened once, at least just listen to this because you'll like it. I mean, this is right in your wheelhouse.

And then see what you think. So, if you want to come over and listen to us talk about the ACC or the SEC, or the 10 biggest games of the season,

or what our ideal College Football Playoff Committee would be if we were in charge, or what we think the structure of the playoff should be in the future.

That's the kind of stuff we do. We're doing a lot of Mount Rushmore stuff, best players in College Football Playoff history.
