Mike and Jess analyze the aftermath of Texas A&M's victory over Mississippi State, highlighting the double firings of coaches Jimbo Fisher and Zach Arnett. The discussion delves into the questionable decision-making behind Fisher's $76 million buyout and its potential implications for contract offering large sums of guaranteed money in college football. The two speculate on possible successors for the Aggies' head coaching position, considering candidates like Dan Lanning and former Aggies Defensive Coordinator Mike Elko. Shifting to college football rankings, they explore the prospects of teams like Ohio State, Michigan, and Alabama and who will end up on top this season. Updating you on the Michigan scandal, Jim Harbaugh will attend a hearing this Friday and maybe he’s hoping for it to go well after referring to his squad as "America's Team." The hosts express amusement at the apparent unity of the Wolverines despite the controversies. Mike and Jess talk about college football punishments and the belief that the players should not be penalized for the actions of grown adults. Moving on, they share their thoughts on Heisman Trophy predictions, with a mention of CJ Stroud's comment about potential rigging if Marvin Harrison Jr. doesn’t leave with the trophy. The episode concludes with discussions on the Buffalo Bills' immense struggles in Monday Night Football, uncertainty in the AFC competition against the Kansas City Chiefs, and the major disappointments surrounding the F1 Vegas race, to which Jess says, “Congrats to people in Europe getting the preferential treatment.”
