Jesse wrote a column this week detailing which teams had real chances to be the first champion to emerge from a 12-team College Football Playoff. That format matters a lot. A team now must win at least three and possibly four consecutive games against the best of the best to claim the national title. Who is deep enough to survive that gauntlet? But Andy wonders if any team is deep enough in the transfer portal era to avoid a surprise loss. Next, Spencer Holbrook of On3’s Lettermen Row joins to talk Ohio State as the Buckeyes — one of the teams that definitely belong on the can-win-the-national-title-list — continue spring practice. This is the most loaded Ohio State roster in years, but how do the pieces fit together? Is Kansas State transfer Will Howard definitely QB1, or does Devin Brown still have a chance? How does Alabama transfer Caleb Downs change the defense? Is receiver Jeremiah Smith, the nation’s top recruit in the class of 2024, as good as advertised? Want to watch the show instead?

0:00.0	Welcome to Andy Staples on three.
0:03.8	We are back with some deep dive college football discussion.
0:08.1	Jesse Simonson on three national writer will be joining us in a few minutes.
0:12.3	He had a column that I'm sure didn't piss anybody off about how many teams are actually
0:17.9	capable of winning the national title.
0:23.1	And I thought we need to bring Jesse on and talk about that because it's an interesting question given conference realignment,
0:29.8	given the 12 team playoff format, given how rosters are constructed now, because I think
0:35.4	there's a couple things at play here. There's's you have to win at least three and possibly four games against the best teams in
0:42.4	the country in a row, which I think eliminates some teams.
0:47.2	But I'm not sure anybody's as deep as the old Alabama teams or the old Georgia teams.
0:53.7	I say old. I mean,
0:54.8	like from 10 years ago, because everybody's rosters get rated at the bottom. If there's somebody
1:03.6	who's good, who's not playing, they go play somewhere else. So is everybody susceptible to that
1:10.0	one game in a single elimination situation?
1:13.2	And it's interesting because I think we can kind of use the NCAA basketball tournament
1:17.2	as a guide for us because we're seeing those rosters even out.
1:23.6	We're seeing that talent get distributed more evenly.
1:26.4	But what's funny is right now there's
1:29.7	one team that seems to just tower over the other ones in college basketball, and that's
1:34.9	Yukon. And it seems so designed for tournament play. Maybe we're on. Maybe we'll see with Alabama
1:40.7	on Saturday. And then if they get past Alabama, they're going to have to
1:45.8	play a very good team in the national title game, either Purdue or NC State, especially if
