   Notre Dame ANXIETY + The (bad) case for 24-team college football playoff

   In our latest episode of College Football Unfiltered, Blake Toppmeyer, Matt Hayes and Paul Myerberg recap a truly wild weekend of college football. Several of the top 10 teams took surprising losses, and they break down who is exposed and who still has a chance to redeem themselves in the playoffs. Speaking of playoffs: we dive into the efforts to expand the CFP to 24 teams in 2027. Our crew breaks down how this will (negatively) affect the college football season moving forward and ask if there's any chance of stopping this from happening.
