Pat McAfee forced to abruptly end live interview due to major technical problem after ‘turning into lip reader’
Because to a technical issue, PAT McAfee had to end an interview early.
In order to talk about the college football playoffs, the ESPN host invited a colleague to appear on camera.
Prior to the announcement of the most recent round of college football rankings, analyst Dan Mullen appeared on Tuesday’s episode.
However, McAfee and Mullen were on a different page when the interview finished.
Mullen was asked by host McAfee what the biggest surprise in Tuesday night’s rankings would be.
But McAfee appeared a bit uneasy as Mullen started to respond.

Then, for no apparent reason, he started to giggle.
Following Mullen’s response, McAfee ended the interview.
The same as every Tuesday, he continued, “I’m eager to hear the response.
“I want to thank you for your fantastic college football season.
“I’m excited to finish it alongside you as I’m home and you’re still working.”
McAfee opened out to his co-star AJ Hawk when Mullen quit the program.

“During that last answer, I lost all hearing,” McAfee acknowledged honestly.
“I was unable to hear anything when my power went out.
“I think I was reading his lips good enough.”
For the first time ever, there will be 12 teams in the college football playoffs this year.
Compared to the four that have comprised the national championship bracket in recent years, this shift represents an increase.
How the 12-team CFP works
On Friday, December 20, the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff will begin.
Who will enter, though?
Around New Year’s, the top four conference winners will all receive a first-round bye to the quarterfinals.
Even if they are not among the top 12 teams in the country, the fifth-highest conference champion will also be guaranteed a spot.
This guarantees a champion from a conference in the second tier will have the opportunity to compete for the national title.
On Friday, December 20, or Saturday, December 21, teams ranked five through eight will host a first-round playoff game.
Additionally, they will face the nine- through twelve-seeded teams.
The CFP committee determines all of these rankings and seedings, among other things, by looking at schedule strength and record.
The National Championship Game this year will be held in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, on Monday, January 20.
Additionally, the rankings serve as a significant topic of discussion each week.
Boise State was in first round bye position ahead of a Big 12 winner according to the most recent rankings.
In the first round, which is scheduled for December 20 and 21, the top four conference winners will get a bye.
