Pretty busy show when you consider Wayne Cook and Stephen Hartzell are reacting almost immediately after the CFP rankings drop on Tuesday night. There's finally a G5 team in the poll (!) but somehow Tennessee is still ranked (?) so it's not all roses. There are takes, disagreements, and enthusiasm on both sides of the aisle from Wayne and Hartzell, but that's what we're here for, right? Phil Steele even offers his Playoff take before launching into a 30-minute run through the week 12 top-25 card. The end of the show includes some Gavin Newsom jokes and Wayne tells Hartzell he looks like a Lord of the Rings character (yes, really).
