Summary

On the eve of November, the college football calendar finds itself in a rare situation for this time of year as it is chock full of chaos. From undefeated teams looking to make school history, to historic powerhouses trying to hold on to their relevance, all eyes are now focused on what’s next and who will be able to claim the coveted spots in the expanded college football playoff.

So today, our omniscient college football expert Ryan McGee joins us to break down how it started, how it’s going and why all this chaos might be just what everyone needed.
