The pride, passion, and pageantry of college football lives here.

This is the Paul Bangalm Show, our team podcast.

This might be college football, have you?

Our is live and we are back here on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

Good afternoon.

Justin Williams joins us from the athletic.

And Williams' coverage college football has written a number of pieces,

recently, including one about how the 12 team playoff could be a fitting reward.

And man, wouldn't it be nice to have it this year?

Justin, first of all, welcome to the show.

Thank you very much.

Thanks, Paul.

Appreciate you having me.

Yeah, it's just a lot of years, the four teams are cut and dried.

And there's really no need to even have a fifth in consideration.

But this would have been the year, wouldn't it?

Yeah, I mean, definitely at the top, I think it's going to be interesting

here these next couple of weeks to see which four end up separating themselves.

But even down at the bottom teams, bottom of the 12 team playoff teams like Louisville, Missouri,

this year who probably don't really have a chance to even make the playoff

or certainly not to win a national title.

I think they're having seasons that certainly deserve to be recognized and rewarded
