CFB Playoff Chaos, Bowl Game Boycotts & NFL Panic Mode

Christmas is two weeks away and the guys haven’t bought a single gift — but there’s something even scarier happening in sports: college football is on fire.

Isaiah and Erb break down a wild Championship Weekend, starting with Tulane’s title run and Duke triggering a full-scale ACC chaos scenario, leading to a controversial 12-team playoff bracket that has the boys HEATED. Why didn’t Alabama drop after getting stomped by Georgia? Should Miami really be in over Notre Dame? And how did the committee paint themselves into a corner with two G5 teams? The fellas go deep on what the playoff should look like, including a wild 14-team “let the conference champs fight” format.

Then — bowl season madness. Notre Dame is skipping their bowl, teams are opting out everywhere, 5-7 teams are sneaking in, and the guys roast the most unhinged corporate bowl names of 2024. (“The Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl” is a classic, but the Staff DNA Cure Bowl might be the funniest trophy in America.)

Next: NFL Playoff Panic Button. The Chiefs are somehow alive despite having no offensive line and receivers who couldn’t catch a beach ball. The Colts’ season falls apart after Daniel Jones tears his Achilles, leading to a real conversation about… Philip Rivers coming back? Yes. Seriously. And the AFC standings are so tight it might come down to Week 18 heartbreak.

Plus:

• JJ McCarthy is dragging Isaiah back into emotional chaos with a breakout game
• Cam Ward vs JJ — who would you rather build a franchise around?
• FCS playoff history: three different No. 1 seeds go down in one weekend
• The guys argue over frozen pizza like it’s a national security issue
• A shockingly deep breakdown of Christmas gnome culture

It’s unhinged. It’s passionate. It’s chaos. It’s Don’t Quote Us Sports.
