The pride, passion, and pageantry of college football lives here.

This is the Paul Finebaum Show, our one podcast.

This might be college football, have you?

Here in the middle of the week, and thanks so much for joining us today.

We have a fantastic show and we start with the new head coach at Texas A&M.

Thanks for being here.

Before we get out to college station, one more ranking, and that's the one that matters most.

A lot of teeth gnashing over what happened last night.

You see FSU at four, Oregon, Ohio State.

Seven and eight simply will not move.

That could change with both playing for conference championships this week.

It's speaking about a man who wants to be playing for championships soon.

That is Mike Elko, named this week to take over at Texas A&M.

He knows the territory.

He was the defensive coordinator out there before heading to Duke to become the head coach.

And we begin by saying hello to Mike Elko right now.

Coach, first of all, congratulations.

I have no earthly idea what the last couple of days has been like.

Tell us about it.

Good afternoon.

Yeah, thanks for having me on, Paul.

Appreciate it.
