The boys are officially back from their holiday hibernation and football did NOT wait for them. They return to a chaos-filled slate of College Football Playoff drama, NFL insanity, coaching carnivals, and Transfer Portal madness — and yes, absolutely nothing about LSU’s Houston bowl game changed the future of planet Earth… or the team. Seriously, that bowl game happened, we promise, and we still don’t care.

Then it’s on to the CFP quarterfinals, where the non-bye teams might actually have the secret cheat code advantage. The boys break down the CFP Semifinal matchups, give their picks against the spread, and argue about who is actually built for January football.

And then… the Transfer Portal. The Wild West? Try Wildest West imaginable. NIL deals, surprise exits, commitment flip-flops, and yes — the boys dive into the dark side of the portal nobody wants to talk about but everyone needs to hear.

Switching to the NFL, the boys unpack the end of the New Orleans Saints season and explain why Who Dat Nation should actually feel optimistic. The Ravens vs Steelers delivered a Monday Night thriller that may have signed one head coach’s unemployment papers in real time. They preview the NFL Playoffs, hand out their ATS picks, and fully embrace the football playoff season.

And finally… Black Monday. Head coaches everywhere were fired faster than carts roll on Black Friday. The boys look at which coaches will be reborn, recycled, or rehired immediately.

This episode is packed with College Football Playoff breakdowns, NFL playoff predictions, Transfer Portal mayhem, coach firings, Saints optimism, betting picks, and hot takes your group chat isn’t ready for. Buckle up — we’re back.

The College Football Playoffs have officially arrived… and let’s just say they half-delivered entertainment and half-delivered disappointment — which was right on point. After the first round, Josh officially plants his flag and declares that Group of 5 teams simply do NOT belong in the CFP (sorry, little guys). Miami vs. Texas A&M was an absolute rock fight that only sickos could love — although, if you were rooting for both teams to lose, that scoreless first half was chef’s kiss. Alabama vs. Oklahoma, however, kicked things off the right way and reminded everyone what playoff football is supposed to look like.

Oh boy… love makes people do some truly unhinged things, and this week, Sherrone Moore made sure of it. Josh & Joe break down the headline-making saga that has college football buzzing, unpacking what actually happened, why it matters, and the unexpected “college rules” lesson that is the reality of college athletics.

The College Football Playoff madness has off you icially begun, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned… it’s that drama is undefeated. This week, Josh & Joe dive headfirst into every ounce of chaos surrounding the playoff picture — from the programs screaming the loudest (yes, Notre Dame, we’re talking about you) to the ones who should honestly be rioting in the streets (Vanderbilt, we’re on your side).

The boys go all-in on the debates, dropping shockingly logical cases for why JMU and Tulane should be in the playoffs. Their reasoning? Bold. Wild. Slightly delusional. But weirdly convincing. You will be entertained.

Then comes the full first-round College Football Playoff breakdown — who’s advancing, who’s doomed, who’s covering the spread even in defeat, and who might pull off the biggest shocker of the postseason. This episode is absolutely loaded with CFP predictions, hot takes, conspiracy theories, and playoff chaos.

Meanwhile in the NFL, the playoff race is heating up like a microwave burrito, and some teams are starting to feel that percentage drop in real time. The boys break down the biggest Week 14 matchups, what each game means for the playoff picture, and which teams might be cooked, revived, or heading for a dramatic December collapse.

And of course — it wouldn’t be JMO without the weekly NFL picks, featuring a fresh batch of JMO Specials.

The coaching carousel is spinning out of control, and the Lane Train is the one pulling the lever. In this week’s episode, the boys — including one who literally dressed up like a head coach — break down every major coaching hire across college football. They diagnose which hires are genius, which are disasters waiting to happen, and which programs might already want a refund. From dissecting each coach’s winding road to their new gig to exploring the absolute goldmine of message board reactions, Josh & Joe deliver the ultimate 2026 season coaching change preview.

This week on JMO, the boys suffer through an LSU performance so sluggish you’d think the offense was running through quicksand, blindfolded, & in slow motion. If you watched it, you deserve a medal. But somehow, Josh & Joe uncover actual positives and bottle them up like rare optimism — proof that the future might not be doom and gloom after all.

The boys are FINALLY back in good spirits — and all it took was LSU beating Arkansas (plus a few moral victories to pad the stats). Josh & Joe break down every high, low, and “what the hell was that?” moment from the game, delivering the most brutally honest LSU recap on the internet.

After a much-needed bye week (yes, the boys’ bye week 😅), Josh & Joe return to pure chaos: the kind you’d expect on Bravo, not ESPN. The duo dives headfirst into the LSU political saga, unpacking every twist from the past two weeks, including their official pitch to bring back Ex-AD Scott Woodward to his former throne.
