This week, the Craft Brewed Sports crew dives into the latest college football playoff shake-up. We debate the new straight seeding model, argue why the BCS should handle reseeding, and call out the constant format changes. Plus, we tackle NIL and the transfer portal mess, a Xavier tangent, and ask: what athletes should serve as their alma mater’s GM? There’s also talk of Trevor Bauer’s Japan disaster, a 24x24x24x24 challenge, Pacers-Knicks playoff fun, the next NBA face, and plenty of beer. Oh, and Joe Theismann doesn’t wash his hands.

This week, we’re coming in hot with a $100 million lawsuit against the NFL over Shedeur Sanders’ draft position, Steve Smith Sr. wrecking a marriage, and Michigan doing shady Michigan things again.

We also talk about the Ravens dropping Justin Tucker, UNC’s lack of Hard Knocks drama thanks to Bill's girlfriend, and why Paul Skenes is getting standing ovations at a divisional rival's stadium. Plus: fan fights in Pittsburgh, Scott’s mom vs. Taco Bell, and way too much yard and weather talk.

And yes, somehow we end up in deep Papal Conclave lore and learn too much about the Cardinals up for being the next Pope.
