Andy argues for home playoff games

Merry Christmas! It's a Dear Andy & Ari episode, and for the first question, we have one that a lot of college football fans would like to see as a gift: Will the College Football Playoff tweak its format for the "neutral site" bowl games? Watch here as Andy & Ari go through this question and explain why more CFP rounds should include on-campus games. Do you agree with this? Let us know in the comments!

(35:00) Conclusion: Merry Christmas!

Later, Andy & Ari receive a question on Miami's playcalling. What needs to change for the Hurricanes offense before they face Ohio State in Arlington? How will Carson Beck improve?

To close, we receive the answer to how Marshall spent his Christmas with the in-laws while Texas A&M was playing against Miami. It seems like he may have a keeper.

Merry Christmas! Thanks for watching/listening!
