This episode of the Last Night’s Game podcast dives into the college football playoff drama that everyone will be talking about, from holiday parties to boardroom breakfasts.

Amy and Scott break down:

  • Notre Dame’s controversial College Football Playoff snub and its bold decision to skip bowl season

  • How conference payouts, TV deals, and NIL money shape who gets in (and who gets left out)

  • Indiana’s surprising undefeated run under Coach Curt Signetti and what confidence can do for a program

  • The Lane Kiffin-to-LSU storyline and the big-money coaching carousel behind the scenes

  • Why programs like Texas can lead the country in NIL spending and still miss the playoffs

If you want to feel confident in sports conversations, without tracking every stat, this episode gives you quick, memorable talking points about money, power, and politics in college football.
