PMS 2.0 1664 - 2nd CFP Rankings Reaction, Watt Wednesday with JJ Watt, Rece Davis, Kevin Hayes, In the Trenches with AQ Shipley, Everything DB with Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk

On today’s show, Pat, DBut, AJ Hawk, and the boys break down everything happening around the NFL following a busy trade deadline, including another edition of Everything DB, before heading In The Trenches with AQ Shipley to highlight some of the most impressive performances from Week 9 of the NFL season. Joining the progrum, College GameDay Host, Rece Davis, stops by to react to last night’s unveiling of the second College Football Playoff rankings of the season. Rece discusses what he believes was some course correction by the CFP Selection Committee, while also explaining why he thinks Miami dropped further than they deserved. He also reveals his latest AP Top 25 ballot following another wild weekend of college football and reacts to Tone’s Above Average Poll, which has Notre Dame sitting atop the rankings.  Shifting gears from the gridiron to the ice, 12-year NHL veteran and former All-Star, Kevin Hayes, joins the boys to discuss some of the biggest storylines around the NHL. Hayes weighs in on Connor Hellebuyck’s return to Winnipeg, the incredible all-around talent of Connor McDavid, and why he believes McDavid isn't just the best skater in the league, but one of the best at nearly everything he does on the ice. He also provides some insight into the situations surrounding players sitting out and requesting trades, offering a unique perspective on what goes on behind the scenes when players are looking for a change of scenery.  Turning our attention back to the NFL, future Hall of Famer and CBS NFL Commentator, JJ Watt, joins the progrum to break down some of the biggest developments around the league following the trade deadline. JJ starts with the Minnesota Vikings’ impressive defense and how Kirk Cousins factors into their success, before discussing Fernando Mendoza taking over as the Raiders’ starting quarterback after spending the first 10 weeks behind Cousins. He also weighs in on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ key roster moves, the impact of Myles Garrett’s return following a dominant three-sack performance that included a forced fumble, and whether the Colts received enough compensation for some of their biggest stars. Jage wraps up by taking a look at the crowded NFC playoff picture and why several talented teams could ultimately find themselves on the outside looking in.
