The End of the Bench with Rob Breaux and Craig Wells tells you what you need to know in the world of sports both locally and nationally, and they read your comments from the chatline. We check the calendar today for holidays, birthdays and this day in history on December 30th. Rob and Lucas bring the burning questions today. We dive deeper into the Oregon vs Texas Tech matchup on Thursday morning, and lastly, the guys take questions from the chatline to end the show with Ask The Benchwarmers.

Clint Scott and Dr. Mike Gustafson give you The Juice and talk about Behren Morton's health ahead of the Orange Bowl, what it will take to beat Oregon, where some pro potential Red Raiders have landed in the mock drafts, and what Ben Roberts had to say about Texas Tech's future potential as a program. They also discuss what a Tech win in the CFP can do to the national perception of Tech and the Big 12.

On this episode, we recap the College Football Playoff first round and talk through what worked, what didn't, and why the weekend felt underwhelming at times. We hit Alabama vs Oklahoma, Miami vs Texas A&M, Ole Miss vs Tulane, and Oregon vs James Madison, then look ahead to the quarterfinal matchups and what storylines matter most. We also take a minute to honor Adam the Woo and how he impacted us as creators, then pivot into Christmas season talk—movies, quotes, and traditions. We'll be boots on the ground in New Orleans for Georgia vs Ole Miss, so make sure you're following along for Sugar Bowl coverage. We hope you enjoy this episode, and as always, GO DAWGS! TIMESTAMPS:00:00:01 - Intro00:06:33 - Tribute to Adam the Woo00:11:35 - Patreon00:13:09 - CFP First Round00:20:36 - Alabama vs Oklahoma00:25:12 - Miami vs Texas A&M00:31:16 - Ole Miss vs Tulane00:35:00 - Oregon vs James Madison00:39:36 - Quarterfinal Slate00:46:01 - Christmas Chatter01:02:05 - BEST Time of Year! SUPPORT OUR PODCAST: For just $5/month, you can support our podcast & unlock exclusive perks.

It's officially postseason time, so we're running through the full 2025-2026 College Football Playoff: Alabama at Oklahoma, Miami at Texas A&M, Tulane at Ole Miss, and James Madison at Oregon.

We also get into the chaos of coaching changes happening during the playoff and what that does to teams like Ole Miss and Tulane.

Chuck Heinz and Jamie Lent discuss Jacob Rodriguez being one spot out from being a Heisman finalist, what it means for Texas Tech Football to play in the Orange Bowl, Red Raider Basketball taking on Arkansas in a top 20 matchup, and what more football awards the Red Raiders have won. Jamie asks who outside of the top four of the College Football Playoff has the best chance of winning the national title for the Question of the Day.

The Alabama Crimson Tide was embarrassed by the Georgia Bulldogs 28-7 in the SEC Championship Game Saturday night. Georgia Football completely controlled Alabama Football's offense the entire game on the way to their second consecutive SEC title. The loss by Alabama created some drama on Selection Sunday for the College Football Playoff. Alabama stayed as the #9 team while the Notre Dame Fighting Irish fell out of the rankings and were replaced by The Miami Hurricanes. The top spot is taken by the Indiana Hoosiers who won the Big Ten Championship by beating the Ohio State Buckeyes 13-10. That allowed Indiana to reach #1 for the first time in school history. The Texas Tech Red Raiders locked down their spot and eliminated the BYU Cougars with a 34-7 demolition in the Big 12 Championship Game.
