Coach is joined by Dennis Dodd to discuss the College Football Playoff semifinals and the overarching storylines of the season. Dodd emphasizes the historic nature of Indiana's run, stating that if the Hoosiers win the national championship, it would be the "greatest story in the history of college football," surpassing even TCU's run or BYU's 1984 title. The conversation highlights the dominance of the "Nick Saban coaching tree," with Dodd noting that all four head coaches remaining in the playoff (Lane Kiffin, Mario Cristobal, Dan Lanning, and Curt Cignetti) worked under Saban, proving his unparalleled impact on the modern game. They also debate the Heisman Trophy vote, with Dodd revealing he voted for Ashton Jeanty over Travis Hunter, arguing that a running back rushing for 2,500 yards and 29 touchdowns is a rarer feat than a two-way player.
