Welcome back to the latest edition of the Audible presented by Trader Joe's. I'm Bruce Feldman,

joined as always by my colleague, Stuart Mandel. We're taping Sunday morning after a really, really fun

Saturday. Lots of drama, stew, some big upsets. And there was a stretch, as our buddy Max Olson

wrote about, where it felt like for about

but they're the, I think, the revelation team of the first month of the season.

I mean, we're talking about a team and a program that have made the playoff six straight

And I want to give a shout out to Dave Dorn because we, we criticized him pretty badly on this podcast just a couple weeks ago.

But at the end of the day, that's a team that lost handily to Mississippi State.

It is not like that, you know, we were so used to Clemson just dominating the ACC.

And first they were mortal against Georgia Tech, mortal against NC State.
