This week Cole is joined by Josh Pate for an in-depth conversation about the future of the college football playoff. They dive into the pros and cons of different playoff models, including the AQ model and the 5+11 model, and discuss the implications of expanding to a 16-team playoff. They debate the importance of maintaining the urgency of the regular season, the potential impact on conference championship games, and the unique position of Notre Dame in the playoff landscape.

And they dive into a grab bag of other topics. Tune in and sound off in the comments.
