Godfrey, Richard, and Alex made a lot of preseason predictions back in August. Some of them worked out well. (Everyone had Ohio State winning the national title.) Some of them worked out terribly. (Florida State and Michigan in the playoff: Nice job, fellas!) Let’s see how everyone did, and then let’s try to learn some lessons from the ways reality matched and deviated from what we expected. Also, we dig into questions like:

* Is the key to good national awards races just to have no elite quarterbacks on the best teams?

* Why didn’t any young G5 coaches land power conference jobs?

* What can the rest of of the sport glean from FSU’s collapse?

* Did we get Conference USA’s parity all wrong?

Producer: Anthony Vito
