Richard Johnson, Steven Godfrey, and Alex Kirshner discuss the first-round College Football Playoff games and more on this week’s show:

* Indiana at Notre Dame, where the Hoosiers have the chance to do the funniest possible thing

* SMU at Penn State, where the sport’s chaotic December calendar is really coming into focus with a Penn State transfer

* Clemson at Texas, where the Tigers will try to play Cinderella

* Tennessee at Ohio State, where Richard and Alex disagree on how feasible a Vols upset of the Buckeyes really is

Then a Tasting Menu of the rest of the college football weekend, featuring a check in with the FCS and lower-level playoffs.
