"The journey is the thing… and the result is the ring."

In Part 3, we shine the spotlight on what fans love most: bold predictions. Who truly has the blueprint to survive the chase to the ring? We dive into each match up and discuss factors that could decide everything. From statistical matchups to gut-feel calls, we lay it all out - upsets, blowouts, and everything in between.

In Part 2 of our College Football Playoff breakdown, we dig deeper into two of the most heated debates of the postseason: Notre Dame’s exclusion from the CFP and the uphill battle faced by Group of 5 programs..

Whether you agree with the committee or think they completely missed the mark, this conversation sets the tone for this podcast.
