San Jose Mercury News, Jon Wilner, joins the show to discuss the College Football Playoff and whether any team will make a "Cinderella run" in a new format. Wilner also discusses the mediation between the Pac-12 and the Mountain West. Wilner feels like both conferences don't want to go to trial and need to come up with a solution so they can both move on as conferences. Wilner thinks that some rivalries are going to go away unless the big conferences get guarantees that losing non-conference games won't affect their rankings in the CFP. Wilner also talks about Oregon State and where he sees the Beavers in the next five seasons.
