A collection of human men and women intentionally built a 12,000 pound fake potato and put it on a truck that has "IT'S REAL" proudly emblazoned on the side and sent it around the country. This potato is a lie and that's gotta be a metaphor for so many things about our world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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!

Peanut butter and jelly. Sea anemones and clownfish. The Civil Rights Movement and an unsponsored bowl in Montgomery that ESPN just runs on its own and you probably won't watch.

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.

The top two teams both lost but, honestly, there's SO MUCH MORE to talk about beyond that this week, like:Why Luke Falk solidified his prospects as the #1 overall pickWIsconsin's Daguerrotype of DoomJordan-Hare Stadium is the greatest wrestling venueTodd Graham...got treated poorly, maybe?Mike Riley thought he could let Iowa score 56 and just show up to workSpencer wants to spend rent money on a dirtbikeTennessee has no idea how to read the roomR.I.P.

If Jon Gruden is not in your house, he might be signing a contract to coach the University of Tennessee. Jason was not on this episode, so HE might be signing a contract to coach the University of Tennessee. Proof is weird like that! Spencer and Ryan also discuss:the real reason why Nebraska hasn't fired Mike Rileywhy dating Brian Kelly is the opposite of dating Keanu ReevesTexas had a fine seasonTexas A&M, not so muchhey let's make them play a bowl game and see who gets pissed off first!i dunno some other bullcrap Learn more about your ad choices.

Georgia got whooped. Notre Dame got whooped. Michigan State got whooped. Tennessee has given the reins to Whoopin Recipient Specialist Brady Hoke. The Playoff Committee might be in for a whoopin. 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. Weirdly, this movie is not called "What If Georgia Plays Auburn Again In The SEC Championship?" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. Again, no Sheriff John Bunnell, though. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 do we cover instead? Honestly, I have no idea and all human endeavor is meaningless in the grand scheme of the universe anyways. Go Gators. Learn more about your ad choices.

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. But all LSU fans are Alans. This is just science. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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? How can we possibly argue that Butch Jones won't get fired? Who is even asking these terrible questions? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.
