Notre Dame at 11 in the First CFP Rankings | Elimination Saturday & the Ravens' QB Crisis — Coach and Company Wednesday 11/4/26

It's Rant Wednesday, and the first College Football Playoff rankings gave Coach plenty to rant about. Miami, Georgia, undefeated Utah and defending champion Indiana hold the four byes, and Coach thinks the committee threw the Hoosiers a bone. Coach and Mikey P dig into Notre Dame at No. 11 a year after the Irish skipped a bowl game, BYU ahead of them, Texas at No. 7 with three ranked wins, and Tennessee at No. 13 behind an Alabama team it beat head-to-head.

Then the rants. Mikey P's is a call to action in the last year of the 12-team field (the playoff is reportedly headed to 24): embrace the chaos and make every game count. Coach's is about effort, after Ohio slept through three quarters before beating Akron 28-20 on Tuesday night MACtion: don't be too cool for school. After that it's Elimination Saturday: BYU at Utah and Devon Dampier, Alabama at LSU and Lane Kiffin's "Super Bowl," Kentucky at Tennessee, Georgia at Ole Miss, and Miami at Notre Dame, where Coach walks through the Irish schedule game by game. Picks and opinions are the hosts' own, and lines move.

The show closes with NFL nuggets: Brandon Aiyuk's reinstatement, Deshaun Watson in the concussion protocol, and a Ravens team that has lost Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley and Joe Fagnano to injuries heading into Thursday night against Jacksonville, with ticket prices down by more than half.
