Summary

Championship Week is here, and we're asking the important questions about all nine games on Friday and Saturday. Can BYU avenge an earlier loss to Texas Tech and rally behind their newly re-upped coach? Will Georgia snap a three-game losing streak against Alabama and earn a first round CFP bye? What's the formula for a five-loss Duke to worm its way into the playoff? How big is the gap between Ohio State and Indiana? With a playoff spot on the line, should we favor North Texas or Tulane? And James Madison is gonna try to score like 70 points, right?

Plus, a look at the latest news as the coaching carousel continues to spin, with Will Stein taking the job at Kentucky, Collin Klein taking over at Kansas State, and Brian Hartline making the move to USF. And, naturally, Ty has a rant on Penn State's pursuit of Kalani Sitake and the state of Pat Kraft's coaching search.

Finally, a look at the latest CFP rankings and the scenarios (and fuzzy math) that is most interesting heading into the final weekend.

0:21.2	Guaranteed Human. Welcome to the solid verbal. The solid verbal. Come after me. I'm a man. I'm 40. I've heard so many players say, well, I want to be happy. You want to be happy for a day? Eat a steak. It's that woo- woo. And now, down and tie.
0:27.3	Dan Rubinstein Conference Championship Week is here.
0:35.2	My friend, I hate to interrupt the conversation we were just having about your deep-seated desire to at some point in life become a male carrier.
0:38.2	We can talk about that later, but it is great.
0:40.1	To be clear, a postal carrier, not somebody who carries men around.
