The time has come! The College Football Playoff bracket is set and it came with plenty of drama surrounding the reveal. After a championship Saturday consisting of a now 8-5 Duke team becoming ACC champions and #9 Alabama being dominated by #3 Georgia, the question was raised of who would get the final at-large spots in the Playoff? Would Miami finally be ranked ahead of Notre Dame? Could both teams get in and Alabama fall out? Would the ACC have no representative at all? We now have our answers. Notre Dame was left out in the cold after the committee kept Alabama in at #9 and jumped Miami to #10. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey share their thoughts on the committee's final bracket. They also dive further into Notre Dame being left out. Why did the committee change their mind in the final ranking? Should they have been in the field? Who has the best path in the bracket? The guys discuss.

Then, they dive further into the question of if it is already time to expand the playoff to 16 teams. Andy and Godfrey also look at if conference championship games should be eliminated and more importantly, if the weekly College Football Playoff rankings show should be changed. How should ESPN change the show that seems to only provide controversy, questions and inconsistencies?

Later, Ross Dellenger rejoins the show and shares his conversation with Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua. He shares Bevacqua's thoughts on Notre Dame not making the CFP and what went on behind the scenes within the Notre Dame building when the team found out. Bevacqua also calls for the elimination of the weekly CFP ranking shows. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss Ross and Bevacqua's conversation and they also debate if it is time for Notre Dame to join a conference.
