Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the Francesa 5 for week number 16.

0:07.7

Hard to imagine where it's gone, but it has flown by, as we always say.

0:12.7

And as I mentioned, the playoffs will add some college football excitement because the bowls,

0:19.6

as you know, will offer virtually a zero.

0:22.9

So you have them Friday.

0:24.5

You have them Saturday.

The game was zeroing it on is Saturday at noon, the 7-10 matchup between number 10 Miami and

0:33.5

1:40.7

to come out on the long end now playing in colise Carl's Station, as we know, is one of the

1:45.8

more raucous places to play. The 12th man is a major factor. You know they don't sit down and they

1:52.8
