The 11.7 podcast season recap (live on YouTube) opens by congratulating Oklahoma on a national championship and calling its postseason the toughest path to a title, highlighting wins over the Citadel, Georgia Tech (including big comebacks), Kansas, and an SEC-heavy CWS route that ended with a 13–2 game three win over North Carolina.
