This is an IHeart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

I think really with the new year, less than 10 days or so away, if you believe in resolutions,

I do have a few suggestions for people. I would say, and I'm going to try and lead by example,

that if someone disagrees with you on an opinion about college football, it may not automatically

mean you have to resort to questioning whether they know ball,

questioning whether they love ball, questioning whether they're a corporate shill.

Again, I'm certainly not speaking from personal experience here.

It's just something I think collectively we as a college football community can work on.

We're jam-packed.

We're high atop a lovely, mild downtown Nashville, Tennessee on this Sunday, December 21st, the Year of Our Lord, 2025, December 21st, first day of winter. That means it's the shortest day of the year, so it's only up from here. I've got a lot more to say about the college football playoff. Everyone is up in arms, some way or the other about the whole G5 playoff thing.

So we're going to have a very, very, very adults-only conversation,

not in like a TVMA way, but very much a mature conversation on the show tonight.

That, again, you're going to have to kind of hit the reset button on your mood

because I know a lot of you are very mad right now. So I'll talk about that. I'm going to talk about all four games that we have set for the quarterfinal round. Could I interest you in the idea that even though Miami and Ohio State has the biggest point spread, it may be the most intriguing game. We don't say that very often. We've also, not that I've forgotten this, I would not forget this, we've got worst predictions of the year on the show tonight. Mind you, not mine. I have very little interest in calling myself out. Everyone else does that enough. No, no, no. We want to call everyone else out on the show, namely you guys. It's all in good fun, of course. If you're new to the show, that sounds sort of sadistic. No, we have fun with each other every year.

Immunity. Okay, Atlanta, Georgia is tuned in, San Jose, California, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Erie, Pennsylvania. We are on our way to a million subs around here. So if you're not already doing your part, and most of you are, please do your part and subscribe to the channel because it's free and it helps us out a lot. Okay, let's dive in. Jesse, I don't have anything in my teeth, right? I just ate a bunch of pumpkin seeds before the show. It's all we had. Look, I got a warning for you no at bradley that's not the way i want to start

the segment i'll start it this way so yeah of course james madison and toulain got splattered yesterday

please don't talk to me about what james madison did in the second half do you see who organ had on

the field it's five possession game in the first half that was the the game. At that point, it was a splattering.

Tulane, Ole Miss. It's crazy. I felt like I'd seen that game already. It's because I had just without Lane Kiffin this time around. So yes, both of those games were blowouts. Not that many people expected anything otherwise. I've got to warn you. So we're going to do this. I'm going to really, really hash out this entire G5 playoff thing.

Everyone's got extreme opinions on this. I don't feel like mine's extreme, but then again, Jim Jones didn't feel like his opinions were extreme. So I want to toss my thoughts out there, but I do want to go very, very adults only on this. So if at any point, when someone disagrees with you on this, you're questioning their knowledge of ball or whether they love ball or whether they're bought and paid for, you're a corporate shill, just leave. This is probably not the show for you tonight. If you can agree to disagree with someone, but hear them out, let's go down that road for just a second. So I don't really

think anyone particularly enjoyed this yesterday. Of course, Ole Miss fans are exempt from this,
