David Pollack joins Golic & Golic to break down the College Football Playoff controversy and explain why Notre Dame deserved a spot over Alabama. Pollack calls the CFP rankings “broken,” reacts to JMU and Tulane making the top 12, and explains how the committee mishandled both Notre Dame and the future of conference championships.
He also discusses why the sport’s playoff-or-bust mentality is ruining bowl season, why some teams are opting out entirely, and which programs he believes can actually win the national championship.
If you’re a Notre Dame fan—or frustrated with the CFP—you’ll want to hear this.
