A relatively short affair for us this week, as we focus mostly on the first round of the CFP. We also take time to tell a lot of whiny college football fans to shut up and enjoy the sport they claim to love, and remind them that the BCS was not actually all that great. We also cover an important weekend in the NFL, and opine on our favorite Christmas movies. Want some  Takin’ On Sports  ...

Is the College Football Playoff really the College Football Playoff is Alabama isn't involved? We ponder that question, as well as go over the inaugural 12-team CFP field, give our thoughts on the teams involved and where they're seeded, the first round matchups and potential matchups down the road, who got a good draw (Georgia) and who got the shaft (Oregon, Tennessee... and Notre Dame?), and a w...

It took two decades, but we finally have recompense for our terrible Iron Bowl experiences as students. Along with reveling in that Alabama victory, we talk Ohio State's losing streak to Michigan, that crazy Georgia/Georgia Tech game (and once again why the overtime format is terrible), Miami's crushing loss, the wild and wonderful Big 12, if teams like Bama and Miami feel playoff-worthy, and all...

We were gonna record an episode, but then we decided not to show up. No, wait, that was Alabama at Oklahoma. Along with that wonderful display of football, we talk about the rest of a crazy weekend on both the college and pro gridiron, what that means for various conference and playoff races, and what to look forward to as Rivalry Week descends upon us. We also cover a good win for Bama hoops, wit...
