Episode Notes
The College Football Playoff committee just announced the dates and locations for the quarterfinal and semifinal locations for the 2026 and 2027 seasons and... well... they're kind of a mess.
Why are they moving a quarterfinal game off of New Year's Eve... but only for one year?
Why is there a nearly two-week break between the quarterfinal games and semifinal games? And who thought it was a good idea to play the national championship game nearly a week later than it has been for the last couple of seasons?
Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the schedule and why everyone from the Rose Bowl to ESPN to the NFL is to blame for this mess of a Playoff.
