Send your questions to andystapleson3@gmail.com The commissioners who run the College Football Playoff decided Tuesday to shift the format to five automatic bids and seven at-larges to account for the implosion of the Pac-12. But that change might only last two seasons. The commissioners are back at work Wednesday talking about what happens when the original CFP deal expires after the 2025 season. Is this where we see the Big Ten-SEC "advisory group" start to exert its influence? Next, UCF coach Gus Malzahn joins the show to discuss what surprised him in the Knights' first year in the Big 12. Malzahn also talks retaining talent and how he decided to start calling plays again. Plus, he tells the story of how he met a young Eli Drinkwitz. Joe Cook of On3's Inside Texas helps us take a deep dive into the Longhorns' first SEC schedule. Texas has a preseason win total of 10.5, and the Longhorns get Georgia at home. Could Texas win the league in its first year? How settled is Quinn Ewers as QB1 with Arch Manning working toward his time? Want to watch the show instead?

Welcome to Andy Staples on three and thank you, Jared in the chat.

0:05.4

Favorite part of my morning commute.

0:08.8

Well, we appreciate that.

0:11.6

Glad that we can be along for the ride with you guys in the mornings.

0:16.2

I'm liking the format.

0:17.2

I am becoming a morning person, which is good because as I got to thinking about

0:22.5

what was going on with college football playoff, the changes that were being made, not necessarily

0:27.0

what's going to happen the next two seasons, but what they're talking about for the next

0:31.3

whatever after that, I started to get a little cranky. And so if I were not a morning person now, I'd probably have some really nasty things to say.

0:42.8

But I am a morning person now.

0:44.5

So I'm looking on the bright side.

0:45.9

I'm thinking more globally.

0:48.6

And I think that's probably good.

0:51.4

Andrew in the chat just wants to remind everybody that Oregon will win the Natty

0:54.6

in 2024. Well, Andrew, now we know how Oregon's path to said Natty might work.

1:20.2

there will be five automatic bids, seven at-large bids. And I realize now, after watching social media on Tuesday after this approval got made,

1:33.2

we ought to do some CFPFAQs because I think there's some people who are so confused.

1:38.6

And I forget that, you know, most of us who follow this show are deep in the weeds of this stuff. And so they've known about

1:48.0

this for two years. They've known how it's going to work. They understand, okay, the PAC 12 dissolved.

1:52.6

That's why they took away one automatic bid. But that's not the case for everybody. So we got to talk about that. And if you got questions in the chat, and I see Jamie Myers just threw up a question in the chat, then ask away. So let's take Jamie's question first, and then we'll see what we can do with that. So Jamie says, what happens when an unranked NC state upsets
