On this Friday edition, we break down the brand new seating changes for the college football

playoff. We go in-depth, what it means, how it's different. We're going to show you what the bracket

would have looked like last year if there's straight seating against the way the bracket actually looked

without the straight seating. Who's the biggest winner in all this? And much, much more.

We want to know what you think on the Friday edition, Crane a Cup. What is up, everybody?

Thank you guys so much for joining us on the Friday edition of Crane and Company.

And I do want to say before we get started, all right, our boy, David Cohn, hope he's having a fantastic time on a well,

well-deserved couple of days off for him. We can't wait to talk with him next week about these

changes as well. So shout out to you, D.C. Make sure you hit that like button, hit that

subscribe button. But I do want to get into a huge change and a great change, I think, in the college football playoff. And I don't

get to say that often. Damn it, it feels good to win one every once in a lot. 132 team playoff.

No, no, no, no, no. So there is a new seating format. It's called straight seating. And the 10

FBS commissioners plus Notre Dame's athletic director yesterday approved it.

This is the management committee, whatever you want to call it, approved a straight seating

format as opposed to what we had last year. And I want to explain to our audience.

If you don't know what that is, I want to just go through exactly what it is, why I think

it's the best. And really, we've got to ask ourselves why we weren't doing this from the jump.

Now, also, little caveat, this does not mean this will be the same thing that happens in 2026 and moving forward.

This is just for this upcoming season.

So what is straight seating and how is it different than what we had, Blaine, my former,

our, my current brother.
