Join the Not A Football Podcast crew, Britt, Keelin and Jesse (Grace had to work her real job – boo!) to talk mostly about football and, occasionally, cigarettes, gambling debts, Juice Kiffin, and a host of various asides. Let’s dive into Week 11 and beyond.
Ore-GONE: So, the college football rankings have not really changed as we go into Week 12 with the exception of one team: Oregon. The Ducks lost in an upset to Washington as MIchael Penix topped Bo Nix. As a result, Oregon fell six spots to the No. 12 spot in the CFP, setting up a game this week with No. 10 Utah that’s a good matchup but totally irrelevant to the playoff now. Join us next week to roll that beautiful bean footage.
QB Mid-Off: The team has a little aside about your Garoppolos, your Cousinses, and other various mid NFL QBs that are in winning positions that most of us did not really foresee. If you are feeling a little mad about this, well, some of the rest of us are too. However, there is something, at a minimum, entertaining about these guys kind of stumbling their way into the playoffs and, perhaps, beyond.
Do They Got That Dawg In ‘Em?: Georgia’s dominance over the SEC and beyond continues. Is it sustainable for the rest of the season? While Michigan and Ohio State are the closest challengers, the crew feels a playoff semifinal against TCU, Tennessee, and LSU may be the bigger risk. While few and far between, Georgia has had a few questionable games earlier in the season (specifically, Mizzou).
You’ve Got to Know When to Fold ‘Em: Friends, this podcast is called “Not A Football Podcast,” and it shows because we have been hemorrhaging our previously EXCELLENT gambling winnings. The team is courageously trying to turn the tides of our fortunes by realigning chakras and some other stuff (astrology and shit). This brings them back to being seduced once again by an Iowa line. We’re also riding with Fresno State, Auburn, and Kansas this week.
The Ferentzing of The Big Ten… And The World?: The Big Ten West is CHAOTIC. Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Purdue are vying for something that ultimately is not going to go anywhere. One bet the NAFP team is going in aggressively on is an Iowa win over Minnesota. Why is that? Because WE CAN, dammit. However, Jesse gets really wild by throwing out the thought that Iowa might beat Ohio State. Did we just create a curse? Find out soon!
Lane Kiffin with A Cig on The Sideline: There is a two minute aside where the team contemplates if Lane Kiffin smokes, especially when he throws out tweets like this:
Folks, we will see you next week to discuss changes in rankings, our bankruptcy due to gambling, and the leadup to rivalry week, because somehow next Thursday is already Thanksgiving.
