Week 12 was everything college football should be — perfect weather, a raucous Athens atmosphere, and a prime-time beatdown of Texas that turned Sanford Stadium into a celebration. Josh, Laurence, Ganz, and special guest Shaun Traub break down why Saturday was a “10 out of 10” day and how Georgia delivered its most complete performance of the season.

The guys dive deep into Kirby Smart’s brilliant fourth-quarter aggression, the perfectly timed onside kick that broke Texas’s soul, and the rising Heisman momentum behind Gunner Stockton after a five-touchdown masterpiece. They also spotlight a rapidly improving Georgia defense, the emergence of young playmakers, and what C.J. Allen’s knee injury means going forward.

From Shane Beamer’s historical meltdown to Lane Kiffin flight-tracker chaos, to ACC nonsense, to whether Georgia should want to play in the SEC Championship — this episode hits every bit of the Week 12 drama. And yes, the shirtless bros, belt-slapping kids, and the viral Georgia coed all make an appearance.

Another heater in the books. Another sucker bet cashed. The boys are cooking

• Tailgating at Lake Hartwell and Athens delivers elite fall weather, food, and vibes.
• Night games? Elite atmosphere. Terrible recovery time.
• Traffic meltdown leaving Athens sparks some late-night Ganz rage texts.
• In-stadium experience finally earns praise — loud, coordinated, and electric.

• Georgia opens with an early defensive stand that felt like “being up +4.”
• Mid-game lull (“the middle hour”) before the dam breaks.
• Turning point:
  • Back-to-back 4th-down conversions
  • Perfectly executed surprise onside kick
  • TD on the short field — lights out.
  
  

• Out-schemes Sark and attacks every Texas weakness.
• Fourth-down aggression sets tone.
• The onside kick: staff wanted it early; Kirby saved it for the kill shot.

• Arch Manning looked solid but outmatched.
• Drops killed drives; Georgia’s physicality broke their spirit.
• Texas finishes three games vs. Georgia with just 86 rushing yards total.

• 5 TDs on 83% completion.
• As many touchdowns as incompletions.
• Now top-5 nationally in total TDs.
• Outplayed Arch with the Mannings in the building.
• Selected as the Manning Award Star of the Week.
• Better numbers than Stetson after 10 games in 2022.

“He’s an absolute savage.”

• • Bobo’s creativity finally unleashed:
  • Roll-outs
  • Motion chaos
  • Beautiful schemed TD to Lawson Lucky
  • Fake-pitch TD to London Humphreys
  • Zachariah Branch = massive eye-candy decoy who changes defensive geometry.
  
  

• Pass rush peaking: Gabe Harris, Johnson, Zayden Walker all starring.
• Young rotation thriving: Demello Jones, Justin Williams, Chris Cole.
• Didn’t even notice C.J. Allen was out until after the game — depth is that good.

• C.J. Allen: Likely Grade 1 MCL sprain.
• Expect him held out until playoffs.
• Timeline: 3–5 weeks depending on bye scenario.
• Lawson Luckie back and fully effective.

Short answer from all the guys: No.

Reasons:

• No playoff benefit under 12-team format.
• Only risks: injuries + film exposure.
• Georgia could lose home-playoff advantage but would still be in.
• A&M or Alabama slipping would take the decision out of Georgia’s hands anyway.

• Blows 30–3 halftime lead to Texas A&M.
• Coaching antics, halftime dancing, delusional pressers = “complete clown.”
• Should’ve been “left in College Station.”

• LSU? Florida? Ole Miss ultimatum?
• Jimmy Sexton chaos.
• Early Signing Day pressure.
• Panel leans: he ultimately stays, but the drama is elite entertainment.

• Tech and Virginia leading the race.
• Miami has best CFP ranking but low odds.
• Notre Dame ranking politics stir frustration.
• ACC champion gets in… but nobody trusts them.

• Tech flirting with disaster weekly but keeps winning.
• Haynes King dark-horse Heisman chatter.

• Line: Georgia -44.5
• Kirby is 0–15 covering >40-point spreads.
• Expect:
  • Ugly game
  • Vanilla play-calling
  • Mass subs
  • Puglisi + Hezekiah at QB in the 4th
  
  
• Score predictions: from 38–10 to 49–7.

Pick:

• Florida +3.5 vs. Tennessee
• The Gators have quit… but the line is weird enough to make it a trap.

Winner: Shane Beamer

• Historic collapse.
• Terrible decisions.
• Cringey pressers.
• Possible immediate firing candidate.
