You can do a fun run in the Superdome like nuclear winter already hit! You can buy clothing and drink out of it! The game might actually be good! Coolio!

Autonation is a terrible disease, so terrible we don't even know what it is or how it affects people. (My theory is it turns them into Transformers.)

Jimbo Fisher is the richest man in the world after this week, so please stay out of his mentions. It should be pointed out that rich folk only can touch Texas A&M's coach, now. Please keep your dirty peasant hands off him. We review Championship Week on this week's episode, and drop it hot (and with at least two audio glitches) because a.) Ryan usually does the editing, and he's out for this episode and b.) We had to get it out the door before we left the country. Topics covered include: --Bama got in the playoff and it's Greg Schiano's fault --Actually pretty much everything is Greg Schiano's fault --How not being as smart as Alabama really isn't something you wanna tell people about out loud --Why guys who say "I don't buy much, but when I do I get the best" are hoarding liars --A discussion of how the Gnat Belt is a real thing people think you're making up --College football is dead BUT SO IS THE NIGHT KING SO THERE --How Jimbo Fisher's massive contract might turn him into Texas A&M's largest booster AND its coach --The hilarity of a Wisconsin quarterback with the ball in the open field with only one man to beat --An important experiment involving Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold switching teams --A quick thumbnail sketch of the bowl season including THE BLUSTERIEST STORM TO EVER HIT TAMPA, THE OUTBACK BOWL INVOLVING BOTH WILL MUSCHAMP AND JIM HARBAUGH --Also Herm Edwards is actually the CEO or whatever of Arizona State football!

Technically, this episode is not just about the Tennessee coaching search. We do talk a little bit about the Big 12/Big Ten/Pac-12/SEC Championship Games. We do try to understand the doublespeed mind of Jimbo Fisher. We do guess if Herm Edwards is older than Notable Old CFB Dudes. But most of this is about Tennessee continuing to bumble through a coaching search - and, yes, we DID finish recording right before the Mike Leach rumors all broke. Learn more about your ad choices.

If Jon Gruden is not in your house, he might be signing a contract to coach the University of Tennessee.

Syracuse's defense got whooped. Oh, there's also some audio we left in here from when Spencer had to reset his whole computer so Jason and Ryan invent a movie about a man going back and re-making all of the same mistakes.

We're joined by Sheriff John Bunnell ok no I can't lie to you like that because that would be a crime. Plus, nobody knows where Sheriff John Bunnell is these days. But if you want to hear us explain why Mark Dantonio does all his shopping at Home Depot, show you why Georgia will be leaving Auburn with the Civil ConFLiCT trophy, predict the rise of the Mark Richt Reformation, and explore Spencer's deep and real love of cheese, we do those things.

Are you a fan of Iowa, or Notre Dame, or UCLA, or Florida State, or Miami, who's tired of hearing us be so repeatedly negative about your beloved Hawkeyes/Irish/Bruins/Seminoles/Hurricanes? Apparently, Spencer's so broken by this season that he's gone into a completely new and unfamiliar state: optimism! You are right to find this deeply unsettling. We ask that if you see Spencer in the wild, you do not approach him and you immediately call Animal Control. He will not hurt you, though he may try to sleep in your hammock.

We tried to record this episode focusing entirely on Florida and Jim McElwain's departure, but Ryan's computer would not abide such an affront and so we had to do the thing all over again a day later.

What kind of person do you want to be? Do you want to be a Georgia fan, convinced that no matter how much logic and skill favor you, you still won't beat Florida, awash in irrational doubt and fear? Do you want to be a TCU fan, confident that you'll avoid the mistakes Oklahoma made against Iowa State, and maybe overlooking danger in your future? Do you want to be a UNC well no don't do that, that's a bad idea. Be an Arizona or Arizona State fan instead. Better yet: BE AN ALAN. Alans are fun, often at the expense of their own safety and the happiness of those around them. Alans are self-destructive but know there's no other way. No, not all Alans are LSU fans.

Why is Jason only now revealing he's a lifelong Notre Dame fan? Which coaches are most eager to fight a fan, and which fans are most likely to give them a shot? Will Indiana get to 7 wins and make Steven Godfrey chicken rich? Would BYU score 30 points against a red card college football defense? Where were you the last time Iowa State was ranked?

Cause(s) of death: Jason's audio becomes dangerously unstable, forcing him to pull a Mack Brown. Ryan speaks glowingly about Virginia football not once but TWICE. Spencer goes on at length about Nebraska being terrible. Jeff Sessions arrests Brady Hoke. Notre Dame is briefly discussed and not just to talk shit about the Fighting Irish.

If there is a theme for this episode, it's sometimes you just need a clear sign that things are broken. Like, say, you're Oregon State and your head coach just bails on a ton of money out of the blue. Or you're an NFL position coach sending romantic cocaine videos from work. Or you're a home underdog to UVA. There's also a lot of talk about Butch Jones and Laserdisc and Spencer's weird body and rats, so it's fine if you choose not to listen. We get it.

Oklahoma lost to an Iowa State with several time travelers from before the age of television on the roster. Miami beat FSU team but it means nothing because, according to Seminole fans, Florida State isn't actually any good. Bret Bielema's still adjusting to his first fifth season at Arkansas but surely things will improve. And, oh, right, we're all freaking out about Jim Harbaugh and Michigan.

Buyouts are one of the best parts of college football because they're little roadblocks you get to set up against your own future happiness.

Texas A&M didn't just ruin their own year; they ruined our ability to do a review of Week 1. So this episode starts with two Florida fans moaning about their terrible counterfeit prescription drug of a team, moves on to a discussion of Iowa-Iowa State ending with one team making ten field goals, explains how Tennessee is like Darth Vader, wishes UNC luck against Lamar Jackson, and shows you how Pitt needs to lose to itself to make the Playoff.

In fact, this is almost certainly true if you root for a different member of the Pac-12 South (ok fine USC is good and fun, we get it).
