Description
Short Description: The first round of the college football playoff delivered some great storylines. Was the bigger story Alabama’s comeback or Oklahoma choking away a 17 point lead? Miami and Texas A&M battled in a bare-knuckles brawl which saw the Hurricanes escape College Station with a 10-3 win, does Miami have enough to beat Ohio State? Plus, Ole Miss and Oregon steamrolled the G5 teams (which everyone expected), so McElroy breaks down what can and should be done moving forward with the CFP format.
