The College Football Playoffs are down to just four teams: Ohio State, Texas, Notre Dame, and Penn State. Texas survived a scare from Arizona State, winning in double overtime. Quinn Ewers made the biggest throw of his career to keep the Longhorns' hopes alive. Ohio State throttled Oregon, jumping out to a 34-0 lead. Can anyone stop them? Notre Dame dominated the middle four minutes, scoring 17 points in less than four minutes around halftime to take a commanding lead over Georgia. Penn State fought off a scare from Boise State and leaned on its running game to win the Fiesta Bowl.

Notre Dame and Penn State will face off in the Orange Bowl. The Fighting Irish and Nittany Lions are similar teams that will rely heavily on their defenses. If this game comes down to quarterback play, who should we trust more? Ohio State is rolling, but Texas might have the defense to match up against Jeremiah Smith and company. Can Texas be consistent enough on offense to pose a threat to the Buckeyes, or will we see another blowout?

Jake and William are back and they are starting this episode with the Goldie Locks of the College Football rankings. Who is too high, who is too low and who is sitting just right? We only have a few more weeks until the final playoff rankings so we are beginning to get clarity.

Last weekend lacked too many fireworks but we did see a few key matchups. Georgia was able to handle Tennessee keeping their playoff hopes alive and now Tennessee needs to win out in order to remain in the hunt.

Indiana and Ohio State will matchup this weekend in an unlikely matchup between top five teams. Indiana is undefeated and looking to beat Ohio State for the first time since 1988. A win for either team and they are nearly guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. Kansas will also look to pull the upset for the third week in a row. Will Colorado fall to the Jayhawks? Army is contending for a playoff spot but they have to beat Notre Dame in order to make it. Does Army actually have a shot?

Week 11 is complete and before heading into Week 12, we have to recap this past weekend. William and Jake start by discussing the new College Football Playoff rankings giving their thoughts on who is too high and who is too low. Looking back at last week, LSU was destroyed by Alabama eliminating any hope of an appearance in the College Football Playoffs. Miami finally saw their luck run out and Georgia's streak of bad games also saw them fall to Ole Miss. Who is more likely to miss the playoffs now between Georgia and Miami?

Heading into this weekend we have a light slate of games headlined by Tennessee vs Georgia. A win for Tennessee could knock Georgia out of any contention for the College Football Playoffs. Clemson's chances are currently on life support and they need a big win on the road against Pitt to stay in the hunt for the ACC Championship. Missouri believes they are still in contention for the playoffs but both Jake and William believe South Carolina will end any hope on Saturday.

Make sure to stick around for the Walk-On Weekly 10 as William has a commanding lead over Jake with just a few weeks left in the season.
