Summary

Ralph joins the Sunday livestream to help break down which coaches are already on the hotseat, including Mike Gundy, Billy Napier, and Luke Fickell. Dabo Swinney’s job is seemingly safe, but Clemson is 1-3 for the first time in 17 years of Dabo — and things aren’t looking up. Plus, a non-call seals a Sooner victory over Auburn, and the guys analyze upsets in Salt Lake City, Madison, and Memphis.
