This is the athletic football show's Prospects to Pros.

Hello and welcome to Prospects to Pros. I am your host, Nate Tice.

We are going to be recapping the college football playoff final.

Michigan beats Washington 3413.

Plenty to go over, a ton of

prospects. We got a draft order finalized, finally. Enough mock drafts changing week by week where

a team is selecting eight and then 20 and then bouncing back and forth and that changes everything.

So everything's solidifying. We are getting it to January. We're getting into draft season.

We're getting to playoffs. To help me go over the college football playoff and all that great stuff is the great Dane Bruegler. How you doing today, Dane? I'm good. I'm good.

But like you said, we, instead of it's if this team picks here or you know we have the first 18 picks of the draft order

and that's always fun um and you know it's it's going to be interesting with some of these and we'll talk

we'll get into it a little bit later in the show but how the dominoes might fall with some of these

teams and who might take a quarterback who might not who could be looking to trade up a lot of

different scenarios there but yeah first i think we got to start with congratulations the Michigan. Uh, felt like they controlled that game physically and figuratively from start to finish, right? Um, even it was a one score game. It just, it felt like they had they had control. And I think overall it was a pretty disappointing performance by, by Washington.

And, you know, we include Michael Pennix as part of that conversation.

You know, against Texas, Pennix had the best game of his career against a bad secondary and a very vanilla scheme.

We certainly celebrated his performance on the podcast last week.

He deserved that.
