Almost everybody at the top of the college football world lost this past weekend, and we’re here to discuss what it all MEANS. (It doesn’t mean anything. It’s college football. That’s why it’s fun, rather than terrible, to talk about.) Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can [send us an email here](mailto:brainironpodcast@gmail.com?subject=I%20have%20some%20big%20feelings%20about%20your%20latest%20podcast%21). Enjoy!
