Ohio State and Miami suffered upset losses to Michigan and Syracuse sending the College Football Playoff into a tailspin. David Ubben and Chris Vannini react to Week 14 of the college football season. A Saturday that included the Wolverines beating the Buckeyes (again) leaving many asking: Is it finally time to fire Ryan Day? Chris thinks so. Can the same be said for Mario Cristobal? This isn't your typical Georgia team, and Texas whipped Texas A&M in College Station. The guys and producer Cam took in Midnight Yell, and we're excited to share our experience with you. Plus, a long playoff debate about Tennessee, Ohio State, Big 12 vs G5 byes, and the coaching carousel is whirling.
