Episode Description

Tim Donnelly says the College Football Playoff selection committee clearly got it wrong by leaving out Florida State football from the CFP despite going 13-0 and winning the ACC Championship, and that being another day removed from the situation doesn't make it feel any better. Tim says the injury to FSU quarterback Jordan Travis should not factor into the decision making by the committee's decision to leave out FSU for Alabama football or Texas football because both of those schools have losses.

Tim Donnelly and Dennis Cox discusses the new proposal by NCAA president Charlie Baker to allow schools and athletes to enter into NIL deals that will allow the schools to pay athletes directly. Tim & Dennis wonder if this is a way for higher end schools to separate in college football, but also a chance for the NCAA to skirt around paying players directly as employees.
