1. Hire a college football commissioner

The CFP semis were fantastic. Four really good ball clubs and two really good games. The script couldn't be better!

We breakdown the semifinal games, show love to Abdul Carter, JTT, Jeremiyah Love, Dani Dennis-Sutton, and so many others!

The storylines for both Ryan Day and Marcus Freeman are so sweet. Both coaches had their own fanbases doubt them, and now they square off for the National Championship.
