It's midweek, which means it is time for our weekly ranking! Trent and Tim dive into the Top 10 lamest, most outlandish conspiracy theories and excuses rival fans use to discredit Indiana's National Championship. But before we get to the ranking, we have a wild week of college football news to catch up on.

We kick things off by celebrating our very first Facebook follower before discussing Coach Curt Cignetti's hilarious viral "Roll Tide" moment during Indiana's White House visit. Cignetti's swagger is at an all-time high, and we are absolutely here for it.

Then, we head down south to unpack the absolute chaos happening in the SEC. Lane Kiffin's Vanity Fair interview claiming he left Ole Miss for LSU due to systemic racism has the internet buzzing, and Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian just threw massive shade at Ole Miss's academic standards. We also discuss Trent's viral tweet about Ryan Day's son committing to Northwestern, sparking a debate on which college football coach faces the most pressure to win right now (Is it Kalen DeBoer at Alabama, Ryan Day at Ohio State, or Dan Lanning at Oregon?). Finally, Tim puts on his TV executive hat to explain why Fox's Big Noon Kickoff isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
