The Paul Finebaum Show callers are certain two, maybe three SEC teams make the playoff now.

Ding dong, the witch is dead and The Paul Finebaum Show will experience major schadenfreude.

The most important thing to happen in college football in Week 10 did not happen down in Jacksonville, but up in South Bend. Gator Nation may want you to believe otherwise, but I don’t thank so. The Clemson Tigers are no longer undefeated, as they lost to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on the road in double overtime. SEC football fans are absolutely beside themselves.

Paul Finebaum Show callers will be all over these SEC football storylines

5. You know who is not a good SEC head coach? Jeremy Pruitt.

Remember when everybody and their brother thought the Tennessee Volunteers were definitely back under head coach Jeremy Pruitt. They were looking so good after beating the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Missouri Tigers to get to 2-0. Well, guess what, PAWL?! Them Vols is 2-4 and they ain’t anything more than processed cheese trying to play football under Coach Pruitt.

Though the losses to the Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide were expected, what was that we saw out of Rocky Top vs. the Arkansas Razorbacks? Has Pruitt never seen a wild hog before? It must be as foreign of an object as asparagus was once to him on MTV’s Two-A-Days. What is that? What is that smell? That is the stench of processed cheese festering in the hot sun.

4. Texas A&M definitely making the playoff now.

After blowing out the cross-divisional rival Gamecocks, the Texas A&M Aggies are now in great position to reach the College Football Playoff. They improve to 5-1 and face a reeling Tennessee team next week. With their only challenging game remaining on the road at the Auburn Tigers at the end of the regular season, Texas A&M just might be able to go 9-1 before Selection Sunday.

Matt from San Antonio has never been prouder of his Aggies in his entire life. He is on cloud nine, knowing his team is potentially four games away from making the College Football Playoff for the first time. However, we are due for a prototypical A&M SEC stinker of a performance. The question is if it is inevitably coming or if that is a thing of the past under head coach Jimbo Fisher.

3. Who is gonna win the Heisman, PAWL?! Mac Jones or Kyle Trask?

Entering Week 10, Mac Jones was the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. With Trevor Lawrence missing two consecutive games due to a positive coronavirus test, it is now the Alabama quarterback’s trophy to lose…or is it? After what we saw down in Jacksonville, Florida Gators quarterback Kyle Trask has forced himself right back into the distinguished award’s conversation.

Trask may be the more talented player, but Jones has had the more consistent season up to this point. There will be people from the Yellowhammer State yelling at people from the Sunshine State about which starting quarterback is better, PAWL?! The pen will not be mightier than the sword on this fine Finebaum Monday, as names will be called and feelings will be hurt.

2. Kirby is not smart, PAWL?! He is dumb!

His name is Kirby Dumb, PAWL?! He was so stupid to play Stetson Bennett again and his Dawgs lost big time. Is JT Daniels really hurt or really bad? Because whatever we saw out of D’Wan Mathis was the worst thing we’ve seen out of the Georgia quarterback room since the Arkansas game. Kirby Smart either has to get smart or just accept the fact he is dumb with quarterbacks.

Georgia used to have Jacob Eason, Justin Fields, Jake Fromm and Jamie Newman and now they don’t got nothing! It is like watching the Chicago Bears play college football on Saturday. It’s not getting any better and Georgia will have to wait yet another year to win its first national title since 1980. If we can’t fire Mike Bobo again, then we have to try to fire Kirby Smart right now!

1. Hahahahahaha! Li’l Ole Climpson lost to Notre Dame.

Every SEC football fan can enjoy the fact that Li’l Ole Climpson lost to Notre Dame on Saturday night. Before it was live in New York, it was lit in South Bend, so lit in fact that all the Golden Domers gathered in the middle of the football field to celebrate a monumental victory in the midst of a global pandemic. It was the most SEC and anti-Clemson thing Notre Dame could have done.

Even though it may present a challenge for the SEC to get two teams into the playoff, especially if Clemson were to win the rematch in a few weeks in Charlotte, it just means more to make fun of the SEC team from Climpson that plays an ACC schedule. Notre Dame ain’t even an ACC most of the time and they decided to destroy something beautiful in double overtime, and it was great!

So how should the Finebaum callers feel on Monday afternoon? They should be as emotional as possible. If they do the Gator Chomp, then they will be chomping at the bit to troll Georgia. If someone hails from Dawg Nation, that person will drag Smart with an all-out verbal assault. What everybody can agree is that Climpson lost and everybody can thoroughly enjoy their misfortune.

There is nothing better than to pile on a team that is not even in your conference that just lost.
