Welcome to the Audible, presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Stuart Mandel, joined as always by Bruce Feldman.

Bruce, we spent months analyzing, debating, worrying who the final four were going to be.

And then, of course, everything broke right.

The committee had it easy.

No controversy this year other than maybe if you disagree with who they had number

one versus number two, LSU versus Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl, Ohio State versus

clumson in the Fiesta Bowl. I'm excited. I really am. I think this is the most compelling

set of semifinals since the first year when, first of all,

we were all curious to see what this would look like, but it was also Marcus Marriota versus

Winston, James Winston, and Saven versus Urban Meyer. Now, obviously, I think we're more intrigued

by Clemson Ohio State.

Ohio, Oklahoma, LSU is, I think, at 11-point spread.

But you were there for the LSU Georgia game, which turned out to be, I think, well, you tell me,

and we went into it saying, is this Georgia defense the one that's going to slow down LSU?

And then they, Burrow, went and did what he always does?

Like, what was I like to see in person?

Yeah, so I spent the last week around LSU.

Not long after tape on the podcast, I flew to Baton Rouge and spent a few days there, and then flew up to Atlanta.

They flew up on Thursday and I flew up shortly thereafter.

And so it was in a lot of their meetings.

And it's an interesting mix because it's a team that is totally locked in, yet they're pretty loose.
