Week 16 is here, and college football has officially lost its mind.
The Iowa Nice Guy breaks down:
• The broken expanded playoff
• Rematches, blowout lines, coaches abandoning teams
• Why the sport needs its own Magna Carta
• Notre Dame’s playoff tantrum (and bowl opt-out)
• Touchdown Jesus facepalming
• The unmatched beauty of Army–Navy
• Who Jimmy Rogers actually is, and why the new Iowa State era is fascinating
It’s chaos.
It’s hilarious.
It’s heartbreaking.
It’s college football.
