Tito welcomes the team behind Worst Christmas Ever — former Ohio State RB Maurice Hall (co-writer/co-director), Tony Patterson (co-writer/co-director), and Taja V. Simpson (EP/actress) — to preview the Columbus red carpet (Nov 13 at Studio 35), the theatrical release (Nov 14), and Tubi streaming (Nov 18). Then he breaks down the fresh CFP rankings (Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia), elimination-game stakes, and why the 12-team playoff still keeps the regular season spicy.
