Summary
Andy and Ari react to an exceptional college football championship weekend. Come Sunday afternoon, who will the committee name as the top four? If Michigan had lost, who would have claimed the No. 4 spot? We really wish the expanded playoff was fast-tracked. Is there a scenario in which Michigan is No. 1? Plus, is it time for a QB change in Athens?
