| 0:03.4 | Hey guys, welcome to another edition of the five star zone. |
| 0:06.3 | Rico Beard, Hales, Shelton, the third. |
| 0:09.3 | And we are here to talk some college football playoff championship game. |
| 0:14.6 | Held ironically enough when the new playoff format started, Ohio State won the whole thing. |
| 0:19.6 | They changed the format system again, and it looks |
