We are STUNNED that the #10 Miami Hurricanes made the field for the 2025 College Football Playoff and we simply cannot believe that we finally leaped Notre Dame. And how did Alabama stay at #9 after that SEC title loss? There are so many emotions to process as we try to digest, including Toast and Scoop admitting they were wrong about Miami being left out of this playoff. Roman is also very happy to have been the lone voice of positivity in the grand scheme of things.
Plus we start to take a look at the game on December 20th at Texas A&M, which is somehow a Noon game (which we love for Miami) and how Notre Dame just up and quit on American by pulling out of their bowl game after being passed over for the CFP. Props also go out to Duke for taking down Virginia, even though it means they are left out of the Playoff, and accolades go out to Joe and Rudy for going all in and believing that Miami could be the football program of old again.
We also try to figure out how Alabama made it in with 3 losses over teams like Texas who are much better than they are, and how the play to keep them and drop Miami blew up in their face. And everyone tries to make sense of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Notre Dame and the CFP that ND would automatically make the playoffs if they are ranked in the Top 12 next season. Plus some AMAZING audio from our friend Josh Pray, hilarious Notre Dame fan reactions, and even Paul Finebaum shutting down Notre Dame fans for all the whining they've done today after getting passed over.
Toast also runs down the current CFP first round schedule, with A&M opening as a 4 point favorite over the Canes, and there's no surprise that the G5 schools are huge underdogs, and everyone is super excited for the potential to get past Texas A&M and have a rematch against Ohio State for the 2002 National Championship. LET"S GO CANES!!

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
