The start of the 2024 college football season is right around the corner, and to prepare for the new College Football Playoff format Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI’s Pat Forde pitch which teams could be dark horses to make it. They also analyze how favorable of a path the 5th seed in the playoff has, especially if they’re afforded the opportunity to play a G5 opponent.
Additionally, they react to Jim Harbuagh’s response to the leaked NOA for Michigan, Pittbull buying FIU’s football stadium naming right, and Baylor coaches wearing shirts during training camp that say “We pay players.” They close the show by listening to and laughing over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent story about how he tried to play a convoluted prank with a dead bear cub.

Dan's knockout game with Rutgers – Va Tech is a fun pick. But i was waiting for anyone to circle the Colorado-Nebraska game as a dark horse knockout. Complete reversal from last year's preseason Prime hype, nobody is talking about the Buffs. Shouldn't both Colorado & Nebraska be much better this year?
Miami does NOT underachieve what happens is you analyst continually OVER RATE Miami.
I've always been a peripheral college football watcher – I'll watch here & there & usually watch the Nat'l championship but this new playoff system has me more interested.
The RFK bear cub story would make a great Oliver Stone movie if not for the fact he is probably going to vote for the guy.
Fran brown and Kyle McCord at Cuse are going to surprise a lot of people. Top ten portal class and last year this team went bowling without a QB and their 2 best offensive players.
Doesn't matter, 2026 will be a 16 team playoff.
