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.

The coaching carousel is spinning out of control, and the Lane Train is the one pulling the lever. In this week’s episode, the boys — including one who literally dressed up like a head coach — break down every major coaching hire across college football. They diagnose which hires are genius, which are disasters waiting to happen, and which programs might already want a refund. From dissecting each coach’s winding road to their new gig to exploring the absolute goldmine of message board reactions, Josh & Joe deliver the ultimate 2026 season coaching change preview.

Then it’s on to the rivalry week chaos, where the college football postseason picture gets flipped on its head. Josh & Joe debate who’s in, who’s out, who needs divine intervention, and what insane scenarios must happen to blow the entire playoff wide open. Spoiler: It’s starting to get REALLY good.

Finally, the boys close it out with their weekly picks — where their head-to-head battles remain weirdly even, and their season-long predictions continue trucking along like a slightly off-track locomotive.

Toot toot — ALL ABOARD the JMO Express!

This week on JMO, the boys suffer through an LSU performance so sluggish you’d think the offense was running through quicksand, blindfolded, & in slow motion. If you watched it, you deserve a medal. But somehow, Josh & Joe uncover actual positives and bottle them up like rare optimism — proof that the future might not be doom and gloom after all.
