Harrison Copoloff

In this episode, Sammy and I dive into the College Football Playoff semifinals after briefly recapping the quarterfinal action, discussing key takeaways and team impressions before focusing on the upcoming matchups. For Ohio State-Texas, we explore how Ohio State’s blend of talent, improved chemistry, and a midseason philosophical shift have fueled their late-season surge—and how that might impact a Texas team that could be running out of steam. In Penn State-Notre Dame, we analyze the striking similarities between these two programs and debate what could decide a game that looks evenly matched on both sides. We wrap up with a discussion on how to revamp the playoff system for the future.
