Summary

Alex and Richard discuss the first-round College Football Playoff games, which followed the playoff tradition of being very lopsided:

* Ohio State crushes Tennessee in Knoxville, Ohio

* Clemson is feisty but loses at Texas

* Penn State obliterates SMU (something that was going to happen whether Kevin Jennings threw those pick sixes or did not)

* Notre Dame is in a different weight class than Indiana, but just don’t forget: Alabama would have met the same fate

Plus, NDSU gets a history-altering win over South Dakota State, Montana State also punches its FCS Championship berth, and updates on the lower levels.

Producer: Anthony Vito
