Episode 3 – Who’s Coming Back Stronger?

In this episode of Saturdays Rewritten, we break down what the 16-team College Football Playoff expansion really means — and which teams are ready to thrive in it.

Is Oregon poised to finish what they started after a 13-1 campaign? Can Alabama bounce back from a rare 9-4 season and reclaim their place at the top? I dive deep into how these two powerhouse programs are positioned for 2025, what the new format gets right (and wrong), and how the playoff landscape is about to change forever.
