We tried to record this episode focusing entirely on Florida and Jim McElwain's departure, but Ryan's computer would not abide such an affront and so we had to do the thing all over again a day later. What do we cover instead? Honestly, I have no idea and all human endeavor is meaningless in the grand scheme of the universe anyways. Go Gators.

What kind of person do you want to be? Do you want to be a Georgia fan, convinced that no matter how much logic and skill favor you, you still won't beat Florida, awash in irrational doubt and fear? Do you want to be a TCU fan, confident that you'll avoid the mistakes Oklahoma made against Iowa State, and maybe overlooking danger in your future? Do you want to be a UNC well no don't do that, that's a bad idea. Be an Arizona or Arizona State fan instead.

Better yet: BE AN ALAN. Alans are fun, often at the expense of their own safety and the happiness of those around them. Alans are self-destructive but know there's no other way. No, not all Alans are LSU fans. But all LSU fans are Alans. This is just science.

Why is Jason only now revealing he's a lifelong Notre Dame fan? Which coaches are most eager to fight a fan, and which fans are most likely to give them a shot? Will Indiana get to 7 wins and make Steven Godfrey chicken rich? Would BYU score 30 points against a red card college football defense? Where were you the last time Iowa State was ranked? How can we possibly argue that Butch Jones won't get fired? Who is even asking these terrible questions?

Cause(s) of death: Jason's audio becomes dangerously unstable, forcing him to pull a Mack Brown. Ryan speaks glowingly about Virginia football not once but TWICE. Spencer goes on at length about Nebraska being terrible. Jeff Sessions arrests Brady Hoke. Notre Dame is briefly discussed and not just to talk shit about the Fighting Irish.

R.I.P., Shutdown Fullcast. (It'll come back to life on Sunday, don't worry. This monster refuses to leave our mortal realm.)

If there is a theme for this episode, it's sometimes you just need a clear sign that things are broken. Like, say, you're Oregon State and your head coach just bails on a ton of money out of the blue. Or you're an NFL position coach sending romantic cocaine videos from work. Or you're a home underdog to UVA. There's also a lot of talk about Butch Jones and Laserdisc and Spencer's weird body and rats, so it's fine if you choose not to listen. We get it.

Oklahoma lost to an Iowa State with several time travelers from before the age of television on the roster. Miami beat FSU team but it means nothing because, according to Seminole fans, Florida State isn't actually any good. Bret Bielema's still adjusting to his first fifth season at Arkansas but surely things will improve. And, oh, right, we're all freaking out about Jim Harbaugh and Michigan. Though at least they don't have to play at 1:45 AM Eastern, unlike Washington.

Buyouts are one of the best parts of college football because they're little roadblocks you get to set up against your own future happiness. Sure, you'd like to find a new, better coach, but you can't. Why? Because of that big old buyout, where you'd have to pay this coach a bunch of money to leave. Well, who put that there? YOU DID! YOU DID THAT TO YOURSELF!
