    Love these guys. Intelligent information football discussion with two smart guys who played at a high level. Awesomeness!

    Fantastic interviews. Funny family friendly dad jokes. Great football minds!

    Update 5/13/26:

    I have been listening for years. Amazing content. Love these guys and the whole team (Damien and everyone else who helps out). Wonderful! I lived in Alabama until my mid 30s and now live in Boston. Thanks for making the podcast available to those of us who no longer live in Alabama.

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brandon Marcello, from CBS Sports, tells McElroy & Cubelic everything that's going on with Auburn and David Jenrath (aka Don Julio) and what he thinks of the SEC so far this season
Q: Brandon, before we let you run, I would love to just kind of get your thousand foot view of the SEC right now. Maybe where it is compared to where you thought it was going to be, some of your bigger surprises of sort of the Southeastern Conference here four weeks in.
Marcello says the SEC is broadly where he expected, except Arkansas has been worse than he thought and Florida has impressed him with its physicality and offense. He calls Florida a team that looks top-five caliber and says Texas A&M was overrated in preseason expectations.
Brandon Marcello, from CBS Sports, tells McElroy & Cubelic everything that's going on with Auburn and David Jenrath (aka Don Julio) and what he thinks of the SEC so far this season
Q: So what was it exactly that he was giving out? And how, quote, proprietary would it be?
Marcello says the leaked material included recruiting information about players Auburn was targeting or not targeting in upcoming classes, along with personnel documents and a recruit grading scale. He says the documents did not appear especially proprietary, though they also included identifying information about individual recruits.
Paul Finebaum, from the SEC Network, tells McElroy & Cubelic why the upcoming game means more for Alabama than Georgia, where Auburn needs to look for hope, and if South Carolina can afford to be without Shane Beamer
Q: Can South Carolina afford to get rid of Shane Beamer, literally and figuratively?
Finebaum says South Carolina is in a difficult position but would consider making a change, arguing the program needs a reset after too many poor seasons.

Q: How massive are the stakes in the game between Alabama and Georgia?
Finebaum says the winner can start looking toward the playoff, but the game is fractionally more important to Alabama because it is a home game followed by a road trip to Tennessee.
MAXX BALL Recap - Alabama > Miss State & Tennessee > Auburn | Paul Finebaum talks SEC | Mac & Cube
Q: Can South Carolina afford to get rid of Shane Beamer? I mean that in both literally and figuratively.
Finebaum says South Carolina is in a difficult position but suggests the program could make a change now. He questions Beamer's consistency and says the team has had too many poor seasons.
