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

0:15.4

I'm Bruce Feldman.

0:16.4

Joined as always by my colleague from the Athletic Stuart Mandel.

0:19.7

We are taping this the morning after the first college football

0:25.0

playoff rankings have come out.

0:27.4

Ohio State, not a big shock, I don't think,
