College football playoff game number one tonight, Fiesta Bowl, Miami and Ole Miss,

tomorrow night, Peach Bowl, Atlanta, Indiana, and Oregon. Stanford, Steve, will be there with

College Game Day for both of them. He joins us right now. So before we get to the two

matchups, what's your favorite game so far in the first two rounds of the playoffs? And what have we learned after those eight games? I was at Alabama, Oklahoma, which was tremendous. The ability to come back, I mean, Kevin, that building was as live as you can be

with this pre-light show thing

and everybody getting juiced up

and Emma going down 17-0-0 and coming all the way back.

I thought it was incredible in that environment.

No one knew what they had been up again,

knowing how good

Venables and that defensive have been.

But the next morning, we flew overnight, and the next morning we were in College Station.

And to people have their thoughts about great games and what they like and what they don't

like, but that game had everything.

The physicality of A&M and Miami, not budging either of them.

Either way, both sticking to their guns.

I didn't love the game plan from A&M offensively, not moving the quarterback around.

But that game, that environment, knowing what those people were up against, and then seeing Miami come in.

Having been at that game, I towards to favor that, even though the Sugar Bowl was absolutely incredible.

And that's where we have Miami playing Ole Miss out of those two games.

And then as far as what have we learned, I think that the buy week or the buy in the

bracket is a little bit overblown.
