This is an IHeart podcast.

I know a lot of you are mad.

I probably should be. I know a lot of you are mad. I probably should be. I know a lot of you are mad. Probably should be. I probably would be if I were you. Let's just talk this thing. I know a lot of you are coming here if you watch it live. Fresh off college football playoff rankings. And by the way, we are live. We are presented by Academy Sports and Outdoors. night, December 3rd, the year of our Lord, 24. We're high atopi frozen downtown Nashville, Tennessee. We're all just trying to make sense of it. People had theories, whether Bama's going to be in, whether South Carolina's hot enough, what's going to happen if SMU loses and they're still going to be in after Saturday. I'll dive into it all. We got no time constraints on this here show. We got no hard outs, as they would say in the business. So I'm going to react to the playoff rankings. I have several thoughts, just like you do. Doesn't always mean you're biased. It doesn't always mean you're a hater. You may just flat out have logic-based thoughts that someone else disagrees with. It has happened before.

But also it's Tuesday night, the week of conference championship week. And lest we forget what

rankings are all about, they're all about games played, or so they tell us. We got big games

this coming Saturday. So I'm predicting them all on the show tonight. I, in the midst of all this

chaos, am going to release a brand new JP poll tonight, and the

transfer portal is doing its thing. Some big rumblings today, even as we're coming on air,

like Jesse's in my ear, well, in my ear piece a few minutes ago, just getting me updated.

Matt Zenitz is saying this, so-and-so saying that. It's a lot to track, guys. Oh, and by the way, Christmas is around the corner, so do your shopping, preferably at Academy. We've got a lot to talk about, but also, you know what's happening on tonight's show? The Joe Moore Award finalists are being announced. As I now call it, the only relevant award in college football, My words, not theirs. So we have got a

jam-packed show. We could go three hours. I won't, but I could go three hours. They're watching

us in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where I was yesterday. Yes, a couple of you talked to me in the airport.

It was me. I was there. Can't exactly tell you why. I can. I went to talk to James Franklin for cbs this saturday but i was there i was not in johnson city tennessee but they're watching us there san juan porto rico is tuned in alexandria virginia is tune in i have a question as we open tonight's show it's going to be very quick i've got to get feedback from you guys i'll look at the live chat after the show's over i'll look at the comment section, but I need your feedback because I let you determine the direction of the show. I enjoy going

back and forth with people, whether it be on Twitter, whether it be in the comment section. I've got

nothing else to do. This is not my hobby. This is my actual job. So I've got plenty of time to

converse with you guys. Some of you disagree with me on stuff.

some of you don't when someone disagrees with me and they take like personal shots at me.

I go back and forth with them. I don't care. At the end of the day, it's college football.

And you can't hurt my feeling. So it doesn't really matter what you say about me.

But I do enjoy going back and forth. My question to you is, do you want me to weave that into the show? Like, do you want me to, instead of doing that on Twitter, to do it on the show? Because some of you, I think, will say yes. Who knows? Maybe a lot of you will say yes. But every time I go down that road, I do get comments to the effect of, man stop stop worrying about those people. That's not why I tune

into the show. That's not the content I want. So I got to gauge the audience on that. You guys,
