ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit spoke to us about his take on the College Football Playoff rankings, including the Oklahoma-Notre Dame debate, why we shouldn't take the Top 4's rivalry games lightly, and how any team in the Top 10 could still make a CFP push.

Then, he reveals why he was compelled to publicly apologize for misreading Terrell Burt's injury, his relationship with Columbus and the real reason he moved to Nashville, how assessing Ohio State is a no-win scenario, and dealing with Twitter trolls.

Finally, he airs his thoughts on two aging CFB broadcasting greats, why he's joining the frontlines to bring back NCAA Football and the CFP semifinals on New Year's Eve.

As the regular season hits the home stretch, Jim and Jordan tackle whether Notre Dame or Oklahoma is the better-suited one-loss team for the CFP. Then, it's onto two Lone Star State coaches trending in opposite directions (Charlie Strong and Tom Herman), what LSU can do to snap out of its malaise, and a cameo from everyone's old friend, Bo Pelini.
