All right. Well, that was a good look back on the on the week 10 action.

0:22.2

Now we're going to have part two of week 10, I guess.

0:25.2

Every day, Tuesday night, we're going to have these big reveals and see what the committee is looking at.

0:30.2

It's going to be really fun to see how much the committee values strength of schedule because they tend to do that more than the

0:38.6

pollsters, generally speaking. So we will go down a list as they review and kind of just give

0:46.9

our opinions as we see. Yes. I'm good with that. Have they started?

1:00.9

We're doing the transition. Welcome in. Welcome into the rankings reveal here for college football.

1:10.3

CFB Nation, All-America podcast. We've got a three-man booth to wait to break down the first reveal of the top 25.

1:15.7

And then, of course, I'm sure they'll have some sort of mock bracket to project conference winners and things like that.

1:17.6

And then Louisville jump in it at 22 is big for Notre Dame as well, because now Notre Dame's going to end up with two top 25 wins already of teams that are in there that they've already played. And then Colorado at 20, if they can win out, puts themselves in a position where
