Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 593 ratings
  • Owned by Bryan Driskell

    Alabama being in the playoff is a joke. They passed Notre Dame after beating Auburn by 7 and then remained ahead after being blown out in the CCP. The first year that the “eye test” and advanced metrics do not favor Alabama we magically decide to push the narrative for resume because “it’s different for the 12 team playoff”.

    Defending the decision and the process shows a lack of credibility.

    Good show but cubelic needs to stop cutting people off. He interrupts McElroy literally at every turn. Also interupts guests. Greg can't even get a full sentence out and cubelic tries to dominate everything. I listen mostly for Greg's analysis so this gets old.
