00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 They officially approved the five plus seven format.
00:08 And what that is, is obviously with the PAC-12
00:11 basically going away for now or whatever's gonna happen,
00:15 they had to kick it back down to five
00:17 automatic conference champion qualifiers
00:21 and seven at large bids, as they say,
00:24 as opposed to the six plus six.
00:26 The interesting thing, Gabe, that I saw
00:29 just from in the last hour, is a lot of Notre Dame people,
00:33 which I follow a lot and I read a lot
00:35 because I'm a Notre Dame fan, very upset
00:39 because the wording that is in there
00:42 is the four highest ranked conference champions
00:46 get the bye in the new 12 team playoff.
00:49 And because Notre Dame is an independent,
00:53 they cannot get a bye into the playoff.
00:56 Very interesting, Gabe.
00:57 And I don't have a problem with it either.
00:59 - Listen, the college football playoff committee,
01:02 they were kind of put in a weird spot
01:04 after announcing a format
01:05 and then having the PAC-12 disintegrate as it did.
01:09 So they had to adjust on the fly.
01:11 I think they did a pretty good job actually.
01:14 For the record, for this, Carver, all right?
01:17 I wasn't somebody that was complaining.
01:19 So, okay, you haven't expanded playoff format now,
01:22 good for you.
01:23 So now we're gonna get to see Liberty get lit up
01:25 in a college football playoff game
01:27 and get eliminated.
01:28 It doesn't change anything for the real powers that be.
01:31 You'll notice how they set that up that way.
01:34 It was like, yeah, knock yourself out.
01:35 You guys wanna add games.
01:36 We're not playing more, right?
01:38 We're not playing.
01:40 You can play if you want.
01:41 So go play your little quarter final on your campus, guys,
01:44 at Tulane or whatever, and have fun with that.
01:47 So the top four teams get a bye.
01:50 So therefore, they'll be in the exact same situation.
01:53 They'll just need to win two games, right?
01:56 So when we hear expanded playoff,
01:58 so if you're the SEC champ, you're the Big 10 champ,
02:02 if anything, this actually elevates a lot
02:05 because really it's all about the Big 10
02:07 and the SEC right now.
02:09 I find it interesting though, as you stated,
02:12 so the top four teams get the bye
02:14 and then everybody else plays
02:16 and it goes according to the college football
02:18 playoff rankings.
02:20 So they're gonna be in complete control of this.
02:24 Where I'm going with this, Carver,
02:25 is for everybody that thought naively
02:28 that the college football playoff
02:30 was gonna be some big all-inclusive party,
02:34 get ready, man.
02:35 It's gonna be four Big 10 teams, four SEC teams,
02:40 and they'll be like, "All right, since you won the ACC,
02:42 "we don't have a choice, we'll let you in."
02:44 I'm telling you, Penn State's gonna get in,
02:46 Mississippi's gonna get in, LSU.
02:48 The new, you know what I mean, Carver?
02:50 Penn State can beat everybody
02:52 except Ohio State and Michigan.
02:53 That'll be good enough now, bro.
02:55 Two losses will get you in.
