So far, the CFP selection committee has given us some blockbusters. Notre Dame led late over Indiana 27-3 and Penn State just went up on the committee’s final team 28-0 at the half. Take a bow.

With a heavy heart, wishing a final farewell to Phyllis Chapple-Perkins. Known to so many as The Bama Avenger…The First Lady of the Finebaum Show…or, simply, Phyllis from Mulga.
An unforgettable force of a woman, she helped define this show as a place where college football fans could profess their passion and defend the honor of their teams- often loudly and always fiercely.
She will never be duplicated, and today we hope you’ll call the show and share your favorite memories of Phyllis.

The call everyone was waiting for... Legend has spoken
In a near 5-minute rant on @finebaum, Legend from Alabama just compared DeBoer losing to Vandy to finding your wife in bed with your neighbor. "You may forgive her, but you'll never trust her again!"

Good morning,” said the front desk of my New York hotel. “This your 3 am wake up call. May I connect you to in-room dining?” A tad early for food. However, it’s not too early to say the college football season has finally arrived. Anyone up and ready to go?

Should Jeremy Pruitt win SEC Coach of the Year? Ed Orgeron will likely win but that shouldn’t diminish the extraordinary job Pruitt has done bringing the Vols back from a 1-4 start. An amazing turnaround.
