We open the week after the big collapse against SMU with Toast already annoyed by pretty much everything that happened in the last week. And Roman announces that he got a coaching job with his son's JV team and he's really excited to take his knowledge of the game to the field with his kid. Plus when Roman brings up the College Football Playoff, everyone immediately melts down because of how bad the last two losses have been, and just how bad it looked. And Toast says the ACC disrespect stems entirely from all the poor scheduling by teams around the conference.

No one on the show is a huge fan of Dabo Swinney, but he became our hero this week when he had the beans to stand behind a podium and shout for accountability from the referees. Mario also ruffled a lot of feathers this week after saying SMU has just as much talent as Miami, which could only be true if they are out-developing all their players. All that to spin back to the reality that we actually have a game against Syracuse this week.

Miami is also projected for the TaxSlayer Bowl, which we all hate but feel is perfectly Miami, and at least it's not the Pop Tarts Bowl. And a shout out to Jai Lucas and the Miami Basketball team for getting a win on opening night, with a promising season ahead. Plus everyone drops their keys to a Syracuse win, which include critical down creativity, blowing out a bad team, defensive points, and covering in space. Scoop also wants to know that IF Miami decides to get creative on offense this week, why it would happen now instead of earlier in the season.

We close it out with some hilarious audio of BC coach Bill O'Brien going off on a reporter for asking a lame question, and a big round of Pick 'Ems that we really don't take seriously.
