Youngest team in the country. Non-functional passing game for huge chunks of the season. Mediocre performances during key stretches of games. Loss to eventual Big Ten champion Penn State.

And none of that matters, because dammit Ohio State is 11-1, beat a bunch of top ten teams, and is about to roll into Arizona to take on Clemson. It's awesome in an incredibly unfair kind of way; I'm sympathetic towards Penn State fans (or at least, as much as a person can be), but the Buckeyes are going to make the most of this opportunity.

On the Dubcast this week, Beau and I get into the decisions that led the College Football Playoff committee to pick who they picked, what this season's unexpected success means for a certain Luke Fickell, and what the hell kind of chance the Washington Huskies have against Alabama (slim to none unless it's Statue of Liberty plays for three hours).

We also answer your Ask Us Anything queries, and get ready for the holidays. It's a pretty great Dubcast, so check it out!


0:00- Ohio State is in! And, it turns out, playing in conference championships is dumb and should be avoided.

24:20- Luke Fickell may not be long for this program, but in a good way this time.

35:40- Army/Navy, another baller 30 for 30, the Heisman, and Ask Us Anything!

And that'll do it! See you next week for a very special holiday edition of the Dubcast. Thanks again to Travis for the Dubcast logo, and thanks to you for listening!
