This is an IHeart podcast.

A question for everyone, myself included, as we start the show here, a little bit earlier than we usually do, do you want what is best for you?

Do you want what's best for college football?

Is what's best for college football synonymous with what's best for you? Do you see where I'm

going with this? Because I'm looking around, there's this hurricane of takeaways from the

college football playoff rankings being revealed. And I see some people who know better who are advocating for a certain

set of things to occur or they're rooting for or are glad a certain set of things happen.

And they know it's probably not best for the long term health of the sport. I just like that

it happened. Marinate on that. And we'll dive into the show. We're jam-packed high atop

all on the show today. It'll be on the back half, but I'm putting it all on the show. I've got some thoughts on these early round games too. So I've got everything that you would want from a playoff perspective, but I've also got everything that you would want from a conference championship game reaction perspective. I don't know how long we're going to go. That's why we started

early. The sun is still out. If you're watching the replay or listening to the replay,

about that. May go work on our base tan later. They're watching us in Clayton, Georgia. Who else we

got here? Tyler, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, Tempe, Arizona. I was in Dallas yesterday. The least competitive Big 12

championship game in the modern era happens when I happen to be present. So everybody else,
