The guys have a classic game from a classic rivalry. When Georgia rolled into Jacksonville in 2005, the Dawgs were unbeaten, but a bit out of sorts without starting quarterback D.J. Shockley.

The guys dug into something they brought up plenty of times on the podcast. That is, how many SEC teams would've beaten 2012 Notre Dame? The guys have plenty of thoughts on the Irish and how they would've matched up with the 5 teams who are part of this discussion. They also hit on some things they forgot since the Irish's 42-14 drubbing at the hands of Alabama in the BCS National Championship.Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn more about your ad choices.

Well, the guys decided to let the listeners decide our next "It Just Meant More" game and low and behold, they settled in 2019 Georgia State-Tennessee, AKA when a 2-win Sun Belt team stunned Tennessee in the season opener.

The guys decided to each consume a form of entertainment of their co-host's choosing. For Connor, that was watching Marler's favorite childhood movie "Hook." For Marler, that was listening to several songs from Connor's favorite country artist Jon Pardi. Let's just say the guys have a lot of thoughts. They dig into that, plus some 4th and Wrong questions.

The guys discuss why we thought these teams wouldn't be good, and why they proved us wrong. Did they agree on their No. 1 choice?

Because of a deal that Connor and Marler made, it was Marler's turn to settle on a game of his choosing for It Just Meant More. Not surprisingly, Marler went with 2013 Alabama at Texas A&M.

Yes, we're talking Bama today. It's a debate that many college football fans had during and after the 2017 regular season ended, but the Crimson Tide won the last Playoff spot. Obviously, we know what happened after that (the Sugar Bowl win, 2nd and 26, etc.). Today, however, is strictly devoted to examining the Playoff-worthiness of Alabama and Ohio State in 2017.
