In this week’s post-Thanksgiving episode of The Matt Cave, Matt delivers a full therapy session for Utah sports fans. He breaks down Utah State’s collapse in peak Bronco Mendenhall fashion, Utah’s narrow escape against Kansas, and BYU’s early-morning sleepwalk that turned into a dominant win to reach 11–1 heading into Championship Week.
Matt then unloads on the College Football Playoff Committee — calling out the contradictions, the SEC favoritism, and the outright nonsense surrounding strength of record, game control, and why certain teams (looking at you, Notre Dame) stay ranked without earning it.
BYU men’s basketball also gets the spotlight as Matt recaps their tournament win in Orlando — affectionately renamed by him as the Mickey Mouse Chocolate Adventure Invitational. He breaks down why the trio of AJ DeBansa, Richie Saunders, and Rob Wright might be the most dangerous three-man unit in college basketball this year.
To close the show, Matt turns his attention to Utah Mammoth fans. With Logan Cooley injured, Clayton Keller playing through unimaginable personal tragedy, and the team grinding through a brutal schedule, Matt explains why this isn’t the time for panic — it’s the time for perspective.
Utah football, BYU football, Utah State heartbreak, CFP frustration, BYU basketball hype, and a Mammoth reality check all packed into one episode.
