Week 9 is in the books and college baseball is pure chaos. We kick off the show with Kentucky pitcher Jaxon Jelkin, who opens up about his Tommy John recovery, what it was like coaching first base while rehabbing, and how he's become a Friday night ace in the SEC at 6-1 with a 3.38 ERA.
Then Mark, Jared, and Jason break down one of the wildest weeks of the season... every single SEC team has now lost a series, LSU is teetering on the bubble at 6-9, Mississippi State has dropped six straight, and the Big 12 is in full chaos mode after Kansas swept UCF and took over the conference lead. We discuss UCLA's absurd 27-game winning streak and whether they can chase the all-time record of 34, debate the teams coming in and out of this week's Top 25 (Kansas and Arkansas in, Arizona State and Missouri State out), and count down the entire updated Top 25 from Boston College at 25 all the way up to UCLA at 1. If you want to know where every team stands at the midway point of the season, this is the episode.
