    • The 2023-24 season will be the last to feature the four-team college football playoff format.
    • This comes on the heels of the Pac-12's last season and potentially the end of Jim Harbaugh's storied career at Michigan.

    The College Football Playoff final features two teams in transition. Washington represents the Pac-12, but ironically played an active role in dismantling the conference. Meanwhile, Michigan is fighting for a championship while its storied coach, Jim Harbaugh, may be eyeing a gig in the NFL.

    Plus, we look at another dominant year in viewership for the NFL, the rise of the Houston Texans, and we hear from Nick Carparelli, executive director of Bowl Season, on what’s working and what needs to change in college football.
