Brandon Walker on Lane Kiffin, CFP Chaos, and Fraudulent A&M
The college football world is currently on fire, and Big Cat and PFT opened the show by trying to make sense of a landscape where the Group of Five finally has some juice. With James Madison landing in the Top 25, PFT is fully embracing the chaos, even if it means logic has to take a backseat to Sun Belt supremacy.
PFT CommenterJames Madison is a better team than Notre Dame
Does that mean that JMU is better than Notre Dame? I have no choice but to say yes. It does mean that because we would be in, Notre Dame would be out.
While the current 12-team format is causing plenty of headaches for teams like Notre Dame and Miami, Big Cat thinks this is just a stepping stone to an even larger bracket that might actually solve the bickering.
Big CatThe College Football Playoff will eventually expand to 16 teams
We knew it was gonna be chaotic and weird for the first couple of years of this. I think it eventually will get to 16 and then people will stop bitching as much because you're getting closer and closer to where the natural rankings are.
Patriots Dominate and the Giants Spiral
Monday Night Football was a bloodbath that saw the Patriots looking like the dynasty of old against a Giants team that seems to have completely quit on the season. PFT was ready to crown the Patriots after they dismantled the G-Men in all three phases, especially with the defense looking stifling.
PFT CommenterThe Patriots looked legitimately unbeatable and like a great team against the Giants
I thought the Patriots looked unbeatable last night. Like a legitimately great team. All three phases.
Drake Maye continues to look like the real deal, but the guys couldn't help but notice one specific milestone eluding the young signal-caller. PFT has officially started the 300-yard watch, and he’s not letting up until Maye joins the elite fraternity.
PFT CommenterDrake Maye is not in the elite 300-yard passing club yet
Drake Maye is not on it. There's an elite club and all the players know about it. The 300 club, the 300 yard club... he hasn't thrown for 300 yards yet... Drake Maye is not on it.
On the other side of the ball, Younghoe Koo provided the most confusing highlight of the night with a field goal attempt that looked like he forgot how to use his legs. While most people assumed it was a mental collapse, PFT has a more technical, golf-inspired explanation for the disaster.
PFT CommenterYounghoe Koo's terrible field goal attempt was a check swing, not the yips
It looked like the yips. I thought he had the yips... But when I heard his explanation after the game, I watched it again... it was his holder Gilliam, he caught it. And then the ball started to fall a little bit. And so at the last second, Younghoe pulled up... It was a check swing.
Hot Seat and Cool Throne
Hot Seat/Cool Throne brought the heat as the guys looked at the crumbling infrastructure of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Big Cat is starting to feel the end of the road for Mike Tomlin, especially after the team signed Adam Thielen in what feels like a parody of their own roster-building strategy.
Big CatThe Steelers have become a retirement home for players
The Steelers did sign Adam Thielen today, who is a 2018 pro bowler... Mike Tomlin has gotten to the point where you can just perfectly troll him and predict everything he does. And the Steelers are just become a retirement home for players. It's crazy.
Big CatMike Tomlin and the Steelers are likely to break up after this season
My Hot Seat is Mike Tomlin and the Steelers. Because I actually think that he might, this might be it... they don't change anything. And it's, I mean, TJ Watt said it. I think the bills ran the same play 27 times on Sunday. Yeah. That's insane. It feels like this is finally [the end].
LeBron James landed on the Cool Throne for keeping his double-digit scoring streak alive in the most LeBron way possible. He managed to hit the mark in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss before immediately hitting the bench, which led Big Cat to a realization about the King's current priorities.
Big CatLeBron James is officially in his stat-padding era
My Cool Throne is LeBron because congratulations to LeBron. He kept his streak alive of scoring 10 games, which is a totally made up streak... Can we just admit that LeBron's in his stat padding time, like it's fine. It's fine.
Brandon Walker on the Coaching Carousel
Brandon Walker joined the studio to discuss the bombshell news of Lane Kiffin jumping from Ole Miss to LSU. While the move has left Oxford in shambles, Brandon Walker isn't buying the idea that Kiffin has found his forever home in Baton Rouge. He expects the Lane Train to keep rolling right toward a Sunday job in the near future.
Brandon WalkerLane Kiffin will leave LSU for an NFL job in four years
He's gonna leave for the Dolphins job or the Bills job. He's gonna leave an NFL job in four years... he's proven he could do it in the SEC... but he's just a guy doing a job.
When it came to the actual playoff field, Brandon Walker was in rare form, calling out the teams he believes are simply pretenders. He saved his sharpest barbs for the Aggies, who he believes have used a soft schedule to mask their true identity.
Brandon WalkerTexas A&M is a fraudulent team
Texas a and m has the classic look of a fraudulent team... Their first seven SEC games where they started seven and oh, they played teams ranked nine through 16 in the sec. The second they played somebody in the Top half league, Texas stumped them. This looks like a team that feels like a fraud.
Big Cat also used the opportunity to double down on his hate for the Longhorns. Despite their high ranking, he can't get past their loss to a struggling Florida squad, arguing that a true playoff contender doesn't drop games to the bottom of the SEC.
Big CatTexas should not be in the College Football Playoff because they lost to Florida
I have a take and, and people will probably say this is wrong, but it's my take... Texas is out... That Florida lost. I know they have three very good wins... that's not a playoff team.
If you see a guy in Philly with a carton of eggs and a thousand-yard stare, just know that Kevin Patullo is probably checking his doorbell camera.
