CFP Rankings: Did The Committee Get It Right

What is up, everybody and welcome back. In today’s episode, as college football season is winding down, Daddy and I will be wrapping up conference championship weekend. We saw some blowouts, close games, and lots of first. We discussed the significance of conference championship games, cfp rankings that dropped this afternoon: did the committee get it right, who deserved to be in, and who will win it all? It’s been a crazy college football season and unfortunately, someone is going to be left unsatisfied. Let us know what you think down in the comments. Did your team make it in? Who were the biggest winners and losers of selection day? Finally, we wrapped up by going ‘in the huddle’ as we pivot towards college basketball. As cfb winds down, we’re headed back to our roots, the sport that started it all, and talk about Michigan’s impressive start this season.
