After a quiet episode about the College Football Playoff, so much has happened.

We have not only playoff bluster, but playoff antagonism against the CFP and the ACC from Notre Dame. Do they deserve special treatment? (No, but they are pining for it anyway).

The Notre Dame (non) controversy has led many to question where the CFP should go from here. We explore that along with the bowls losing their meaning and how conference championship weekend could be altered to mean more.

The Rubicon of Private Equity has been crossed, how will it fair in Utah?

We briefly touch on the Michigan situation and a Fall Championship update.
