3 SEC Teams Projected in the Playoff?!?, Kirk Herbstreit Talks CFB Landscape & Remembers Ben His Dog

We've got the latest batch of College Football Playoff Rankings, and the committee isn't showing much love to the SEC. After some disappointing losses over the weekend, the latest projection has just three SEC teams expected to the make the 12-team playoff field. Also, it projects the SEC to get an interconference matchup in the first round, eliminating one SEC team, with only two teams making it to the second round. 

This episode unpacks the SEC's current landscape, spotlighting teams like Georgia and Tennessee, and explores the dynamic of Alabama being ahead of Ole Miss and South Carolina despite their awful loss on the road at Oklahoma last week. 

In addition, we bring you a conversation with ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit as he shares his expert analysis on the Heisman race and the evolving strategies of top teams, while also reflecting on personal stories, including a heartfelt tribute to his late dog, Ben. Herbstreit caught up with our friend Sean Salisbury for a great conversation on all things college football.
