The boys are riding high after a dominant Georgia win over Alabama in the SEC Championship, celebrating in Mercedes-Benz Stadium and reliving a day full of tailgates, arguments about departure times, and meeting loyal listeners. The crew breaks down an all-around A+ performance by Georgia—special teams magic, suffocating defense, depth everywhere, and a poised outing from SEC Championship MVP Gunner Stockton.

They also unpack the chaos across college football: Duke shockingly winning the ACC, Texas Tech pounding BYU twice, Ohio State looking shaky in a pillow fight, and the playoff committee unveiling the first 12-team postseason. The guys agree the committee mostly got it right—but torches are lit for Tulane and James Madison making the field over far better teams.

There’s also a spirited rant against Notre Dame for opting out of their bowl game (“a total pussoir move”), a Heisman reset, Keno strategy lessons from Elbow Room, and the Belt-to-Ass movement officially becoming a 2025 cultural phenomenon.

Another fun, fast, beer-soaked episode reflecting on a truly great weekend to be a Georgia Bulldog.

🌪️ 3. Around College Football

Big Ten Championship: Indiana 13, Ohio State 10

• Hosts caught only the end at Elbow Room over pizza & pitchers.
• Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza’s bizarre postgame interview becomes immediate meme-material.

Big 12 Championship: Texas Tech destroys BYU (again)

• Two matchups this season, two blowouts — BYU rightfully excluded from the playoff.

ACC Chaos: Duke wins the conference

• Duke (7–5 entering the game!) upsets Virginia in OT.
• The ACC “could not have screwed up their tiebreaker format worse.”

🏈 4. The 12-Team Playoff Reveal

General Consensus: Committee mostly got it right

1. 1. Indiana
   2. Ohio State
   3. Georgia
   4. Texas Tech
   
   

• 5–10: Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Alabama, Miami

Major Complaints: #11 Tulane & #12 James Madison

• Tulane blown out by Ole Miss by 35.
• Tulane also lost by double digits to UTSA.
• JMU offers little competitive value.
• Better options existed (Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Texas).
• Committee forced to include a G5 team—but should require a minimum ranking threshold.

Bowl Implications

• Georgia will play January 1st in the Sugar Bowl
