Summary

Ohio State fell, and Alabama snuck into the College Football Playoff rankings ahead of the final rankings on Sunday. David Ubben, Chris Vannini and Damien Harris react to the penultimate CFP field, the Buckeyes hosting, the ACC sweating it out and more. Afterward, the trio preview championship weekend. Can Texas take revenge against Georgia, and why has Carson Beck been so good lately? Is Oregon really the best team in the country? SMU deserves a playoff spot regardless of Saturday's results, and Clemson could be a bid thief. Cam Skettebo for Heisman? Boise State-UNLV win-and-your-in game. Later, Chris has coaching carousel updates, including West Virginia and UCF's top candidates, FSU, Michigan and Oklahoma's coordinator changes, and more!
