Thursday show is up, and a new national champion has been crowned in college sports, in a thrilling OT finale.

We'll look ahead to the sports weekend, that starts tonight with volleyball semis and runs Fri-Sun with Round 1 of the CFP. We'll take a look at each game.

Our FRI is that the Show-Cause Order has been defeated in court, we'll explain what happened and what it means for the future of NCAA enforcement (and our show title)

Plus, more discussion of the flawed CFP Committee's process, the fallacy of thinking computer rankings can be the sole determination for playoff rankings, and how a member of this year's committee explains that the process in the room was as bad as we thought.
