Episode notes
Duke Can Trigger Playoff Chaos
- Josh Pate says Duke winning the ACC would create playoff chaos by potentially excluding the ACC from auto-bids.
- That scenario could push the committee toward controversial decisions like admitting Miami over Notre Dame.
BYU Outcome Crucial For Notre Dame
- Josh explains a BYU win would secure Big 12 representation and possibly push Notre Dame out of the playoff.
- A BYU loss also risks committee punishment depending on margin and perception of the Big 12.
Fix The Committee, Not The Bracket
- Josh argues the playoff format itself isn't broken and warns expanding solves little long-term.
- He suggests fixing committee procedure and transparency rather than size of the field.
