We break down the 2025-2026 College Football Playoff bracket, preview every first-round game, look ahead to the quarterfinal matchups (including Georgia’s Sugar Bowl path), and discuss whether the format is letting the wrong teams in.
It’s officially postseason time, so we’re running through the full 2025-2026 College Football Playoff: Alabama at Oklahoma, Miami at Texas A&M, Tulane at Ole Miss, and James Madison at Oregon. Then we look ahead to the quarterfinals and the teams with byes (Texas Tech, Indiana, Ohio State, and Georgia), including what the bracket means for Georgia’s Sugar Bowl matchup. We also get into the chaos of coaching changes happening during the playoff and what that does to teams like Ole Miss and Tulane. And yes, we debate the 12-team format, the auto-bids, and why some teams feel like they’re set up to get steamrolled. We hope you enjoy this episode, and as always, GO DAWGS!
