Josh, my wife hates to hear your voice and the voices of other sports broadcasters that I listen to on my phone. So just know, I’m watching your shows in a comfy chair out in my shed after midnight, with a space heater and a heavy blanket with work day tomorrow. I’m committed to the show every Sunday Tuesday and Thursday 💪🏽
Josh, I'm curious why there aren't more people in the national media not talking about how conferences have gotten too big. Really looking at all of this, it feels like conferences got greedy to get too many teams in and now really whats the point of a conference if you don't play half of the teams in it? Seems to have really negative effects on team perception, schedule comparison, and a log jam of stupidity on who gets to play in conference championships.
Found your show this year and have really enjoyed it. Awesome how collected you are with your thoughts and how you present them. The fact that you never have to say "um" is amazing.
The toxicity at that LSU-Ole Miss game next year is going to hit like pure Zevia in my veins.
Hi, I am a college student at a Texas Tech system school. I have watched your show to understand college football better and to connect with my dad. We are Texas Tech fans and to say that we have had a great season is an understatement. I have thoroughly enjoyed this college football season so much more than the NFL season. I am a political science major, and I did not have you talking about voting poll data in regard to college football coaches was not on my bingo card. But I did enjoy it. Thank you for doing what you do. I now know more about college football than many of my guy friends. Thank you.
I'm not an Ole Miss fan but I can't lie, if they go on a crazy run now that Lane can't be their coach in the playoffs that would be pretty sweet. I know he asked to coach them and was told no. Can't wait for the LSU/Ole Miss game next season that's for sure. I definitely think this could have been handled better on all sides.

the LAST thing I was expecting was a Euphoria reference
56:17 As an LSU guy, I absolutely hate their situation. Vandy undeniably deserves to get in! Watching them play, they are hands-down one of the best teams in America right now, and Josh is right. If that “V” logo were an LSU logo, we’d be in, and it’s not fair at all that they’re going to get shafted because of who they are. Josh was saying earlier this season that Vandy, Virginia, and some other teams weren’t getting fair rankings because they crashed the party, and we’re seeing the effects of it. Don’t get me wrong, BYU’s got a solid team, but I would put Vandy in over them based solely on resumé. BYU got dogwalked 29-7 by their one feather-in-cap team, and they’re incredibly lucky it wasn’t worse. Vandy’s 4-2 against ranked opponents (yes, I know LSU and South Carolina ended up not being great teams, but they were ranked and motivated at the time, and they stomped both of us!). Plus, their two losses were very competitive losses; it’s not like they got skull dragged 45-24. Vandy’s done everything the committee has asked of them, and they deserve a fair shake.
The “ESPN interview” with Kiffin on that weird gravel road cut out from the main road was so weird. Kiffin looked so phony to me. Saying “God told me to go to LSU.” I’m pretty sure God would have him finish the job at Ole Miss. The only person who benefits by him moving onto LSU is possibly himself. Those kids that gave so much at Ole Miss to get as far as they have, deserved to have their coach be loyal to them. Integrity still matters. If I was a recruit parent, one of the first questions I would ask Kiffin if he came to our house, would be “how could you leave your team at the edge of a Home playoff game to go to a new school? My next question would be “how do we know you won’t do that to our son? How do we know you won’t leave him behind to go to your next dream destination?” Believe me… Every coach who is in a recruiting battle with this guy is going to be saying that and rightfully so. Those Ole Miss players deserved a lot better.
