Toast has a whole new background in his studio, and Scoop celebrates a milestone birthday as we kick off this week's show, which is all about the aftermath of Miami making the College Football Playoff. We also have some All-American honors as Malachi Toney rakes in titles across the board, beyond just the Freshman group, and how he could be a Heisman favorite going into next season. And everyone has opinions about what Miami will go shopping for in the portal this upcoming season, especially how the quarterback might look over the next few years.

We also take a look at the status of our two coordinators, as Shannon Dawson and Corey Hetherman's names have come up in a lot of coaching discussions this offseason. And the fallout with Miami being the last team in, and Notre Dame being the first team out, has exploded across the College Football landscape, including Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua trying to burn down ND's relationship with the ACC. That includes amazing audio from Big12 Commissioner Brett Yormark burning the Notre Dame AD for the way he handled Miami missing the Playoffs.

Our friend and our NEW MERCH partner AB joins the show to announce the new line of OBB merch available for sale at www.aboutthefans.com including the "A Gap for Life" shirt that helped change Miami's offensive direction going into the last four games of the season. And lifelong Canes fan AB talks about celebrating the moment of Miami getting selected with his 9-year-old son, and what that moment has really meant to true Miami fans who have suffered from the outside for the last 20 years.

And while Notre Dame's national media collapse was initially the story of the week, Michigan said "hold my beer" by firing head coach Sherrone Moore with cause which spun into one of the wildest stories of the year so far. Plus audio from Eric MacLain on the ACC Network saying Miami is going to be a "matchup nightmare" for Texas A&M because they are a team that cannot be bullied. Everyone also has thoughts about Utah Athletics partnering with private equity for the future of their athletic program and how this will be a test case for the entire college football world going forward.

We close out the show with Marcell Reed on RG3's podcast, responding to Robert's "Estonian" wife, asking about what would happen if Miam offered him $4 million, some funny audio of the week from UConn head coach Dan Hurley, and everyone's picks for the Army-Navy game!

We are STUNNED that the #10 Miami Hurricanes made the field for the 2025 College Football Playoff and we simply cannot believe that we finally leaped Notre Dame. And how did Alabama stay at #9 after that SEC title loss? There are so many emotions to process as we try to digest, including Toast and Scoop admitting they were wrong about Miami being left out of this playoff. Roman is also very happy to have been the lone voice of positivity in the grand scheme of things.

Plus we start to take a look at the game on December 20th at Texas A&M, which is somehow a Noon game (which we love for Miami) and how Notre Dame just up and quit on American by pulling out of their bowl game after being passed over for the CFP. Props also go out to Duke for taking down Virginia, even though it means they are left out of the Playoff, and accolades go out to Joe and Rudy for going all in and believing that Miami could be the football program of old again.

We also try to figure out how Alabama made it in with 3 losses over teams like Texas who are much better than they are, and how the play to keep them and drop Miami blew up in their face. And everyone tries to make sense of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Notre Dame and the CFP that ND would automatically make the playoffs if they are ranked in the Top 12 next season. Plus some AMAZING audio from our friend Josh Pray, hilarious Notre Dame fan reactions, and even Paul Finebaum shutting down Notre Dame fans for all the whining they've done today after getting passed over.

Toast also runs down the current CFP first round schedule, with A&M opening as a 4 point favorite over the Canes, and there's no surprise that the G5 schools are huge underdogs, and everyone is super excited for the potential to get past Texas A&M and have a rematch against Ohio State for the 2002 National Championship. LET"S GO CANES!!

We open with optimistic Scoop this week as we open Episode 419, and get right down to Greentree to start breaking down the crux of the national college football conversation... Miami vs Notre Dame in the Playoff rankings. And it becomes more obvious each week that the committee is completely changing the rules and making up new metrics to fit whatever narrative they choose. Everyone also has strong feelings about committee chair Hunter Yurachek as he tries to explain this jackassery every week on national television.

You can always gauge how far things go off the rail by whether they land on President Trump's desk, and sure enough Secretary of State Marco Rubio brought up Miami's potential to get screwed in a cabinet meeting this week! Even Duke head coach Manny Diaz agrees that Miami should be in the Playoffs even with all his history with the Hurricanes. And Texas coach Steve Sarkisian took a shot at Miami while lobbying for the Longhorns, but in reality he just needed to beat Florida and just mind his own business. Plus Roman wants to know where everyone puts their percentage of Miami making it into the Playoffs.

Signing Day was another HUGE win for the Canes, with the top class in the ACC for the fourth straight season, with some certified studs to keep Miami in contention for years to come. Plus even more audio from Josh Pate, breaking down why the Miami vs Notre Dame argument holds NO water, and even Colin Cowherd backing the U after tearing us down only two weeks ago. And we briefly touch on the Lane Kiffin drama at Ole Miss and how much of a weasel he was on his way out. James Franklin's drama with Penn State also takes the stage as we have some fun with the wild coaching hires this past week. And we close it out with Championship Weekend picks for all the big games!

The Miami Hurricanes came up with one of the most dominating wins of the season when they needed it most, demolishing the Pitt Panthers 38-7 on the road and making a resounding statement for the College Football Playoff. Scoop jolins us drunk from Thanksgiving vacation and comes in hot with strong words for Notre Dame in the wake of the coming debate. And while everyone has big props for the offense, Scoop wants to know if our "A Gap for Life" jarring made a difference in the change of pace offensively.

Toast also makes a case for a positive return on investment in this coaching staff, after having very little faith earlier in the season... even if we don't get a Playoff bid after all this upswing the last month. Roman also supports Toast's idea to have an ACC Committee to ensure the best teams in the conference make the playoffs, largely due to the conference's unbalanced schedule, even if it would be a really hard process to moderate. And there aren't enough good things to say about Malachi Toney, who is not only the best freshmen in the country, but quite possibly the best player in the country. And from there the debate ensues about whether that young man should have a place in New York during the Heisman finals.

We hear from Mario Cristobal on the field after the win, advocating for Miami to be a Playoff team, as well as Nick Saban on GameDay saying Miami might be the most dangerous team if they get into the CFP. And with all that, Roman still offers a heart-to-heart with Canes fans to prepare themselves for Miami to get screwed and not get in... but that's okay, because it's who we are as a fan base. Scoop agrees, but lays out that Miami did not get screwed but rather did this to themselves after those losses.

And we close things out with some shoutouts - one to our friend Joe who hooked Toast and Roman up with bourbon advent calendars. And another from Scoop to Joe Echeverria and Rudy Fernandez for showing what it means to lead from the position of a football fan and blaze a path forward for years to come.

Miami comes in at #12 in this week's College Football Playoff rankings, and immediately the conversation goes to all the things that need to happen for the Canes to get an at-large bid... because they won't be the ACC Champion. And Playoff math kicks into full gear as we try to figure out if a 3-loss Alabama team (should they lose the SEC Championship Game) over a 2-loss Miami team. Scoop also goes in on Joey Galloway, who has made it a point to rail on Miami in recent weeks, and Roman is beside himself that the ACC is suddenly ALL for the Canes.

Scott Van Pelt came in on the side of Miami this week, arguing that the Canes didn't have a "bad" loss, while teams like Utah haven't really beaten anyone. Roman also wants to know if Miami would rather rematch SMU in an ACC Championship Game or stay out and try for an at-large bid, and everyone falls in on different sides of the argument. And we finally turn our attention to this week's matchup at Pitt, as everyone lays out their Three Keys to the Game - which include watching their running back, tackling better, getting pressure with the front four, and playing a clean game.

This cold weather game is also a big concern for everyone, with Miami's tendency to struggle in games below 40 degrees. We also bounce around some of the bigger topics of the week, including FSU announcing that Mike Norvell would return for another season and what that means for the future of that program. Lane Kiffin's announcement also comes up, and how much this will hurt Ole Miss, but no one is surprised because Lane has done this everywhere he's been. Plus some hilarious Thanksgiving audio from UConn head coach Dan Hurley. And we close out the show with a huge round of Pick 'Ems for rivalry week!

It's a mixed bag for the crew as we recap a two-score win over Virginia Tech on the road... as Roman thinks it was a solid win, but Toast still believes Miami isn't passing the eye test. Ro does his best to spin a case for the committee to give Miami a shot at the Playoff, having won their last three games by a combined score of 113-34... but Scoop still thinks it's hopeless for Miami to climb high enough to get in. Roman does have a problem with Louis Riddick spending most of the broadcast short-selling the Hurricanes and trying to poison the well.

Everyone also lays out their Playoff math - speculating about what teams will jump others, and what it would take for Miami to be in that conversation if they manage to beat Pitt next week. We also jump into the guts of the game, with Carson Beck's efficiency jumping off the page to Roman. Everyone also has lots of love for Malachi Toney and Scoop immediately jokes about where he'll be playing next season. And on the defensive side of the ball, we are wondering what has happened to Rueben Bain the last few weeks because we haven't called his number much at all.

There is also a lot of criticism to go around for the ACC officials after another brutal week of missed calls and mistakes. And we take a look ahead to next week and try to figure out who will land in the ACC Championship Game, and if the ACC will even have a representative in the Playoff if the conference champion comes in with three losses. And with Notre Dame destroying Syracuse today, it's clear they are going to leapfrog some teams, and we're even more likely to see Vanderbilt make a playoff this season than Miami. And Roman closes the show with another epic rant against the corrupt Playoff Committee!

Everyone has had a bewildering week, and the College Football Playoff didn't do us any favors by getting everyone wound up about our placement behind Notre Dame. And with Scoop out of the loop this week, we stun him right out of the gate with Paul Finebaum standing up for Miami over Notre Dame. And he's also stunned to learn that Hunter Yurachek took over the College Football Playoff Committee, who somehow tries to make the argument that Notre Dame's loss to Miami was somehow better than Miami's win over Notre Dame.

Colin Cowherd also comes in on the other side of the argument, saying Miami deserves to be overlooked for their "bad losses" and everyone lays into him for not paying attention to college football because he's so far off. And the ACC finally decided to have Miami's back this week, but it's too late for them to support us now. Even ACC's own Eric MacLain raised the question about why the ACC is giving Notre Dame a schedule if it doesn't count when you beat them. 

We also go through all the scenarios for Miami to make the ACC Championship game, none of which we can count on to happen. And there are props to go around for Virginia Tech for hiring James Franklin to help rebuild their program as their next head coach. Plus everyone has three keys to the game, including limiting their quarterback, adding more Pringle, trying to quiet the crowd in Blacksburg, and racking up style points. Scoop is also still angry about the lack of creativity in the downfall of the season, because now all of a sudden we have bag plays and dynamic sets when it's too late. 

Scoop asks for the latest on the Lane Kiffin situation, as the Lane train's family made trips to Baton Rouge and Gainesville this week, leading to all sorts of speculation about when he'll leave Ole Miss. And we round it out with a round of Pick 'Ems, as we pick the games Miami needs to have go their way to make the ACC Championship Game.

Roman and Toast man the show this weekend as we finally got the dominant performance we wanted to see on both sides of the ball, especially the offense who came out swinging. This game also set a huge tone for the Playoff committee as Miami passed all the eye tests, coming as close to a shutout as possible. The defense also showed up huge, holding the ACC's leading rusher to -2 total yards, and making CJ Bailey's life in the pocket very difficult with pressure always at his feet.

We even look at the prospect of life beyond Carson Beck, and after this week's performance whether or not you'd want to see a guy like CJ come back to Miami to play. But even with so many good things that the offense did this week, Toast was still frustrated because all the creativity showed up a couple of weeks too late. That spins us into a conversation about teams still vying for a Playoff spot and what this week's wins and losses mean for Miami.

Plus we do a little bit of a deep dive into everyone's Playoff standings headed into the final two weeks of the season, and whether a 3-loss SEC team would jump a 2-loss ACC team if there were already 5 SEC teams in the mix already. There is also some big praise for Girard Pringle after another impressive week of running the ball, which makes us laugh because it looked like he had more freedom to run outside. Which makes us ask if there was a meeting between Dawson, Mirabal and Mario addressing the lack of creativity on offense, because suddenly we're seeing offensive wrinkles we haven't seen all season.

Miami's in the College Football Playoff baby!!... well, okay, not really yet... but hey, there's nothing like some good old fashioned false hope to get the Miami fan base riled up! But we start with everyone's wild week, including the plane that crashed in Scoop's neighborhood (yes, that Coral Springs plane crash in the news) and how insane it was to be directly impacted by such a big disaster. Beyond that we jump right into Miami's latest College Football Playoff ranking, coming in at #15 but the 11 seed as the top positioned ACC team. And everyone tries to figure out just how Miami can make the Playoff and somehow leap an ACC Champion. 

Scoop isn't buying the Playoff hype on Miam's playoff hopes, but Roman has faith that Miami is going to run the table and make it this season. And the sudden burst of offensive creativity makes everyone question whether the team heard the fans' outcries for diversity, and whether they can use that to continue to build momentum. Plus it was nice to see the ACC go after Notre Dame on their timeline and actually have Miami's back.

We also reflect on Pat Narduzzi's comments this week about "losing by 100 to Notre Dame" and how he wouldn't care because it isn't an ACC game... which makes absolutely NO sense. And it's hard for anyone to believe the LSU story regarding Brian Kelly, and how he was never "officially" fired, which is just bonkers. And we all drop our Three Keys to the game, including watching NC State's running back, limiting their quarterback, starting fast and getting more Pringle in the mix early. 

And as we close it out this week we touch on Mike McDanieal trolling Bills fans at the Elbo Room, Antonio Brown's legal trouble as he was arrested in Dubai and extradited to Florida, and a big round of Pick 'Ems as we hit Week 12, including our official picks for the Miami vs NC State game.

We come in HOT, despite a big win, even though Toast thinks we failed because we got hooked by the spread. To make his point, he jumps into the first 27 minutes of the game, after another brutally slow start before they got things going. Roman says a lot of that had to do with poor execution by JoJo Trader dropping key passes, and Scoop goes OFF about Miami getting into their bag with creative plays when it did not matter against Syracuse. 

Toast remains angry that Miami did not cover the spread, but then again he played a drinking game on the live stream where he took a drink every time they ran outside... so today he's not sober. And as we run through the game stats, it starts to paint a picture about where Miami fell short and where they excelled. There are also some props to Girard Pringle for making the most of his 7 carries today, and what the path to 10 wins looks like and what it means for Miami in 2025.

We also go around the college football landscape and look at what the big losses of the week mean for Miami and the ACC. Scoop also breaks down all the "trick plays" that Miami ran this week, while Toast believes a lot of that was directed at this show (not to be narcissistic). And we look ahead to NC State, VA Tech and Pitt as we glance down the remaining schedule.
