The College Football Playoff madness has off you icially begun, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned… it’s that drama is undefeated. This week, Josh & Joe dive headfirst into every ounce of chaos surrounding the playoff picture — from the programs screaming the loudest (yes, Notre Dame, we’re talking about you) to the ones who should honestly be rioting in the streets (Vanderbilt, we’re on your side).

The boys go all-in on the debates, dropping shockingly logical cases for why JMU and Tulane should be in the playoffs. Their reasoning? Bold. Wild. Slightly delusional. But weirdly convincing. You will be entertained.

Then comes the full first-round College Football Playoff breakdown — who’s advancing, who’s doomed, who’s covering the spread even in defeat, and who might pull off the biggest shocker of the postseason. This episode is absolutely loaded with CFP predictions, hot takes, conspiracy theories, and playoff chaos.

Meanwhile in the NFL, the playoff race is heating up like a microwave burrito, and some teams are starting to feel that percentage drop in real time. The boys break down the biggest Week 14 matchups, what each game means for the playoff picture, and which teams might be cooked, revived, or heading for a dramatic December collapse.

And of course — it wouldn’t be JMO without the weekly NFL picks, featuring a fresh batch of JMO Specials.
