Summary

In the first episode of 2024, Mike and Jess reflect on their New Year's Eve celebrations, with Golic sharing his preference for not staying up until midnight anymore. The hosts discuss the diminishing charm of New Year's Eve as one ages, drawing a parallel to birthdays losing their appeal. New Year's Eve weddings, particularly those chosen for symbolic dates like 123123, are debated— is it cute or cheesy? They shift to the Rose Bowl, where Jess is surprised by Michigan's performance, noting Alabama's mistakes that led to their defeat. In the Sugar Bowl, Michael Penix Jr.'s impressive display is highlighted, with Golic predicting a top-5 NFL Draft position for the Huskies star QB. The pair discusses the National Championship match-up between Michigan and Washington, and Golic shares his early prediction for the winner. Mike thinks the Pop-Tarts Bowl is now a benchmark for other bowl games, despite Jess finding the live sacrifice of a mascot weird. They analyze the Georgia vs. Florida State game, discussing how opt-outs and transfers impacted the Seminoles' chances of winning. Shifting gears to the NFL, they end today by previewing the upcoming finale of games, questioning whether Buffalo will emerge victorious over the weekend, and breakdown the AFC and NFC matchups with speculation about the wild possibilities of Week 18.
