After, Rece and Pete talk about Alabama's ranking position ahead of Miami, Ole Miss and South Carolina, if SMU will fall out of the playoff bracket completely and how far Georgia could tumble if they lose the SEC title game to Texas and simultaneously pick up their third loss. 0:00 - Welcome 1:00 - Alabama to stay in last playoff spot? 3:06 - SMU not locked into playoff 4:47 - Effect of Georgia losing SEC title game 6:22 - Kalen DeBoer on being in the playoff 8:03 - Kalen DeBoer on losing to Oklahoma 9:18 - Kalen DeBoer on his players adjusting to the coaching change 11:05 - Kalen DeBoer on the intensity of the SEC 12:44 - Kalen DeBoer on winning the national championship 15:10 - Kalen DeBoer on playing in cold climates 16:02 - Kalen DeBoer on where he'll watch the ACC title game 17:35 - Alabama deserves to be ahead of Miami? 28:08 - Compelling playoff matchups 30:39 - What could be the biggest change in the rankings?
