Summary

Oklahoma is currently ranked No. 8 in the College Football Playoff Rankings. That means that as long as OU wins out, they should be good for inclusion in the playoff. It also means they are in the running for a first-round home game. Carey, Josh, Eddie and George talk about the playoff hunt and more importantly, Missouri. The Tigers head into Norman trying to play the spoiler role. And there is an issue. The Oklahoma running back room has few available bodies with Xavier Robinson and Tory Blaylock all banged up right now. How did this happen? We also take a deep dive into the play of John Mateer. What do we attribute his struggles to? And is he for sure the guy next year for the Sooners? What role does Ben Arbuckle play in all of this? Next we talk recruiting and the impact this season is having on potential recruits. New commitment is in! It's another edition of the Unofficial 40 podcast.

1:25.5	Josh, start with you.
1:28.4	Doing well, guys. You know, just, I don't know about you guys. It feels like, this is like one of the first days down here. It's hard to feel like fall a little bit.

1:55.4	We need to be putting pants on.
1:56.9	We need to be putting coats, hoodies, jackets, whatever you need. It needs to start feeling a little bit more like football. And hopefully we'll get there. Well, I should note, because I'm definitely going to get notes on it. It's 80 degrees right now in Houston, but it's like gray and overcastle. Like it looks more like fall than it actually feels like fall. That is so disgusting. So you can't say that you're in fall yet.
2:19.9	I don't disagree.
2:21.7	The weather is at the very top of my list of most hated Houston things.
