CFP Defensive Slugfest; NFL - NFC Chilly Thrillers and Late Night Brawls

What is up, everybody? In this episode of Touchdown and Ties, Daddy and I wrap up the first round of the College Football Playoffs. Bama earns redemption against OU; Ole Miss and Oregon get their expected wins vs JMU and Tulane; Miami finishes the defensive slugfest against Texas A&M with a win. We then pivot to the Saturday night slate of the NFL as the Eagles and Commanders go head-to-head in a divisional match-up; and the NFC North Rivalry is alive and well as the Bears beat the Packers in a chilly thriller at home.
