Let’s have a great hump day on “The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral” with Mason Woods as we try to get you closer to this weekend’s Alabama vs. LSU game, we discuss the first edition of the College Football Playoff Poll and let’s finish with Alabama in the NFL.

The conversation begins with Garrett Nussmeier discussing what he brings to this weekend’s game between the Crimson Tide and Tigers. Alabama will have its hands full with the threats of Kyren Lacy, Aaron Anderson and Mason Taylor, what can the Crimson Tide do to prepare the trio and threaten the Tigers?

We continue the football discussion by looking at where Alabama stands in the first College Football Playoff poll. The Crimson Tide starts at No. 11 and is currently scheduled to take a road trip to Texas in the first round. How satisfied are you with the selection committee and the process it outlined Tuesday evening? Are the Crimson Tide in a pretty good spot with a month left to play?

Finally, we recap Alabama in the NFL as Week 9 wrapped up Monday night. Alabama’s Brian Branch was put in a difficult position and ejected from Detroit’s game with the Green Bay Packers. Was he treated fairly? There weren’t many highlights for the Crimson Tide in the pros this week, but one quarterback played particularly well.
