Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio open the show with a simple question. Who was more upset last night -- ACC commish Jim Phillips or Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour? It's pretty clear the College Football Playoff committee is going to screw the ACC again. Best case scenario is for Clemson to win the conference title game in a tight one and hope SMU sneaks in as an at-large. Meanwhile, the Canes did not bounce back from lackluster games against the Florida Panthers. Making matters worse, they go...

Random OG Live with Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio? From Longleaf Swine in Downtown Raleigh? Sure, why not? The latest College Football Playoff rankings are out.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio open the show with Duke's loss to Kentucky in the Champions Classic. A ton is going to be made about how the game ended for Cooper Flagg, but the game should be treated as the entirety of a freshman in a single night. Most pundits will still take what the Blue Devils have over most teams in the country. Meanwhile, the locals are already annoyed with ESPN's coverage of Flagg. The latest College Football Playoffs rankings are what they are at this point in the season, but ...
