Summary

It's been 21 days since the college football playoff field was announced. Nicole Auerbach and Michael Felder get you back in the mood for big-time college football. First, a quick update on the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl COVID policies. The semi-finals will not be rescheduled if a team can't play and that team will have to forfeit. All four teams are currently on site and prepping for Friday's games. Alabama vs. Cincinnati is David vs. Goliath. Georgia vs. Michigan feels like a coaching chess match. Will Jim Harbaugh or Kirby Smart have a better gameplan? Fans give feedback on how they will be balancing the games with New Year's eve plans. Plus, flavor of the week and last call!
