First, the factors that will determine whether the new playoff format will be in place by 2023 (4:30), how the Rose Bowl plays a role in the decisions about the quarterfinals (15:00) and whether Notre Dame was a winner or loser in the proposed format with no shot at a top-four seed (22:15). Then, how schools are reacting to the new NIL era (41:00) and why the most interesting hot seat conversation heading into 2021 surrounds Nebraska coach Scott Frost (53:30).
