Broncos or Pats for the Best Win? Plus, the Best Coach Right Now and the Team Misery Index With Mike Sando and Ryen’s First CFB Top 12 Playoff Rankings!

October 6, 2025·1 hr 45 min·5 clips

Ryen argues being called a "high floor" quarterback is backhanded, comparing it to wanting your dentist reliable but not exciting.

He makes it a Monday football show from the first minute. He starts with best win and worst loss, then lands on Denver getting it done down 17-3 at Philadelphia. He keeps circling what that result means, including the angle on Philadelphia. Mike Sando joins the conversation to dig into Washington's incredible comeback. Jeffrey Simmons gets a full look, and Tennessee finally getting on the right side of things does too. He also keeps thinking out loud about whether it is getting easier to score late when a team needs a game-winning or tying field goal. He says he has been watching that from the couch for a while, and the numbers may surprise people. He works in an award conversation and some fun with standings along the way. Then he shifts into his first ever 2025 college football top 12, presented as an opening statement rather than a final answer. The pace stays quick and conversational throughout as he moves from the NFL to college football and back again. The final stretch turns toward life advice after one more run through the day's football arguments.
