Show notes
Jacob and Daniel are joined for the first time by Ben Dority, the man behind the Extra Point’s graphics, thumbnails, and pick’em app, for a Halloween week nine preview. They open with week eight takeaways, including a deep dive on the Texas and Ole Miss instant classic, the parity problem creating a scenario where multiple three loss teams could make the college football playoff, and the Big Twelve’s wild swing from driver’s seat to question mark after a brutal weekend of results. Then Ben gets the floor to talk Clemson, sharing an honest assessment of where the program stands under Dabo Swinney, what the fan base is feeling, and whether he’s the right person to lead a rebuild. The conversation expands into a broader discussion about Florida State’s financial situation, long term contract mistakes, and the state of two of college football’s most storied programs. After that it’s week nine picks, headlined by Georgia and Florida in the world’s largest indoor cocktail party in Atlanta, Ohio State at USC, Ole Miss hosting Auburn, Arizona’s playoff elimination game at Texas Tech, and eight more games.Pick Games with Us: https://cfbpickem-sooty.vercel.app/ Invite Code: 2AB906D3Follow Daniel on X: https://x.com/DeepSouthDanielFollow Jacob on X: https://x.com/jacobkarnesFollow Ben on X: https://x.com/BenTalkingBallSubscribe to The Extra Point on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCalGwyunlQPiiEfiAiZPx9QFollow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theextrapointpod/Follow and Subscribe to The Extra Point on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.Website: theextrapointpod.com00:00 Intro03:03 Week 8 Takeaways10:55 Clemson's State of the Program25:51 Week 9 Picks01:23:39 Super Dogs and Confident Picks
