The episode discusses the Bears' recent loss, their performance, Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson's coaching, and the College Football Playoff drama.

The Bears lose a tough one in Green Bay 28-21. On a positive note the Bears went 3-1 in what we thought was the toughest part of the schedule. Do Smoke and GM finally believe in the Bears? We break down the performance of Caleb Williams. And we give our thoughts on the coaching job of Ben Johnson. Plus we discuss the drama of the College Football Playoff. We discuss the snubs and who shouldn’t be in the playoffs. And is the college bowl system coming to an end?
