Welcome to an all new episode of Building the Beast.

I am your host, Dave Hellman, and we've got a little bit of a grab bag for you all this week.

Dane Bruegler and myself took a look at as many different topics as possible coming out of conference championship week.

Not to worry, we do have a college football playoff preview coming next week.

Obviously, all the big matchups in front of us.

You got Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon, James Madison, Tulane, Old Miss, Texas, and Miami.

We're going to save that for next week since we've got some time to let it marinate.

We're not ignoring it. Don't worry. But in the meantime, there's a lot to dig

into coming out of conference championship weekend. Indiana's big win over Ohio State on Saturday

night for Fernando Mendoza, ton of talent on both sides of the ball. dug into that. Talked

about Georgia's win over Alabama, what it means for Ty Simpson, as well as the Texas Tech BYU game.

Dug into a bunch of other stuff as well. Notre Dame's bowl season opt out what that means for

their draftable players, talked about the Heisman race, and even dug into the FCS playoffs a little bit.

Something for everybody in this episode. Really great conversation.

Let's do it.

Well, Dane, it's that time of year in college football. The final playoff bracket has been revealed.

The conference championships have been decided and everybody's angry.

And there is no better time to do a draft podcast because

we can just sit here and talk about football players and I don't have to have an opinion

about what the committee decided or who got snubbed or who benefited unfairly and I'm

really relieved about that man I'm I'm very happy to just take a pass on all of that and say,

hey, look at all these cool football players.
