Booger McFarland on NFL Trust, CFB Chaos, and JMU's Playoff Snub
The College Football Playoff committee has officially declared war on the state of Virginia, or at least that’s how PFT feels after seeing the latest rankings. JMU is getting the cold shoulder despite kicking the teeth out of everyone they play, and the guys are convinced the fix is in for the American Conference to get that automatic bid regardless of the actual on-field product.
PFT CommenterThe CFP committee is intentionally suppressing JMU in favor of the AAC winner
I think that what is happening right now is they had their heart set on the American [AAC], on that conference. Whoever wins that conference is going to get just pigeonholed in. Doesn't matter what else happens.
While PFT is ready to go nuclear on the committee, Big Cat is looking at the bracket and seeing a path for absolute chaos. Georgia might have actually stumbled into the perfect scenario where they can skip the SEC title game stress and still land a week off in December.
Big CatGeorgia is in the best possible position because they can get a playoff bye without playing the SEC championship game
The winner number one is Georgia, because Georgia obviously beats Texas. They get to four. Georgia's in that perfect spot where they could potentially not go to the SEC championship game and have a buy. Which that's gotta be the greatest spot you could ever be in.
Big Cat is also keeping a close eye on the Big 12, specifically Texas Tech. If they can pull off a conference title, they might be the ultimate beneficiary of a Big 10 cannibalization between Indiana and Ohio State.
Big CatTexas Tech will jump into a first-round playoff bye if they win the Big 12 championship
The other big winner to me is Texas Tech. Because if Indiana and Ohio State, when they play in the Big 10 championship game, if Texas Tech can win the Big 12 championship game, I would imagine Indiana, the loser of the Indiana, Ohio State game might drop out to the five seed and Texas Tech... would slip up into the buy.
Speaking of the Big 10, Big Cat is officially out on the Blue Devils. Despite all the tie-breaker math being thrown around the ACC, he’s seen enough from a five-loss team to know they aren't worth the mental energy.
Big CatDuke is a bad football team and I am done considering them in any ACC or playoff scenarios
Duke is not gonna win out. I'm done with Duke. ... Duke is bad. I'm done with Duke. I'm done with Duke in any scenarios. ... They're five and five. They're, they're not a good team.
Monday Night Football was another reminder that the Raiders are currently a biohazard for television. Between Pete Carroll’s aggressive gum-chewing and the Cowboys sitting their star receivers for the first series just for the hell of it, it was a tough watch for anyone without a gambling interest. PFT is ready to introduce legislation to protect the American public from this ever happening again.
PFT CommenterIt should be illegal for the NFL to put the Raiders in primetime
It should be against the law to put the Raiders on primetime television. ... There should be a blacklist of teams that at this point... the fans should be able to vote on which teams should no longer be considered for primetime.
As the NFL season hits the home stretch, the guys are looking for ways to make the basement-dweller games more interesting. Big Cat proposed a high-stakes draft rule that would turn late-season tanking into a desperate fight for survival.
Big CatNFL teams should be required to win at least four games to receive their first-round draft pick
Dumb rule: teams should have to win four games to get their first pick. So at the end of the season, a Raiders Monday Night Football game has actual consequences where it's like they need to desperately win this game to get their allotted first-round pick.
Booger McFarland joined the show to eat some donuts and deliver some of the most scorching takes of the season. He isn't buying the hype on the usual AFC heavyweights, instead pointing toward the NFC West for the most reliable team in the league right now.
Booger McFarlandThe Los Angeles Rams are the most trustworthy team in the NFL right now
If you force me to pick one, I'd probably say the Rams. Matthew Stafford is playing at an MVP level. The defense is young, it's outstanding. ... I clearly trust the Rams more than anybody. I think they've been the most consistent team so far.
Booger also didn't hold back on the state of the AFC, specifically the defending champs. He’s looking at the schedule and the math, and he sees a massive cliff approaching for Patrick Mahomes and company if they don't take care of business this weekend.
Booger McFarlandIf the Chiefs lose to the Colts this Sunday, they will miss the playoffs
If the Chiefs lose to the Colts this Sunday, they're missing the playoffs. Period. Point blank. It's just math. ... This will be the first step into them basically kind of the dynasty crumbling because if they lose to the Colts, I'm telling you right now, you can book it. They're not making the playoffs.
In the college coaching carousel, the guys broke down James Franklin heading to Virginia Tech. While some fans are confused why he'd leave such a massive buyout behind, Big Cat thinks it’s all about the competitive itch that these guys can’t scratch while sitting on a couch.
Big CatJames Franklin is leaving a $50 million buyout because he has a competitive drive to coach, not just for the money
I feel like you don't get to a point where you are successful enough to get a $50 million buyout unless you have that like killer instinct, competitive drive. ... James Franklin's going after being an awesome coach, coaching, he needs football to live.
Booger also thinks he knows exactly who should be taking the keys to the program Franklin just left behind in Happy Valley.
Booger McFarlandPat Fitzgerald is the absolute best fit to be the next head coach at Penn State
Pat Fitzgerald. One blank. Agree. If the Penn State people can get past allegedly what happened at Northwestern... doesn't it make a lot of sense? ... I was ready to go outside and head to the Northeast and just get cold and frozen and play for Pat Fitzgerald.
The show wrapped up with a legendary Guys on Chicks segment covering everything from hotel bathroom etiquette to the dangers of household appliances. PFT warned the listeners about the hidden nuclear threats living right on their kitchen counters.
PFT CommenterTaking apart a microwave is fatal because it contains an electric bomb
Do never, do not ever take apart a microwave because you'll die. You'll get electrified. They've got like a bomb inside of them. ... You have a nuclear weapon in your kitchen.
And for anyone planning a romantic proposal this holiday season, Big Cat has a very specific strategy to ensure it’s a surprise she’ll never forget, even if she told you exactly what not to do.
Big CatThe best way to surprise a girl with a proposal is to do a fake one at a sports game first
The surprise is already over because you already are planning it. ... The only way he could truly surprise you is doing it at a sports game... center court at a mid-tier college basketball game. ... He does a fake proposal to you at a sports game and then he's like 'piss you off! Just kidding!'
Don't forget to check the microwave for steam before you touch the plate.
