The culmination of the college football season is here! The College Football Playoff National Championship. Top-seeded Indiana will take on tenth-seeded Miami at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Monday. Will playing a home game give the Hurricanes a boost? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey look at the matchup. They discuss what Miami needs to do to pull the upset. Plus, they look at the changing landscape of college football and how a team that was 3-9 in 2023 is now playing for a national championship.

Then, they dive deeper into Indiana's turnaround by looking at what Indiana is doing in the NIL space. More specifically, who is helping out with Indiana's NIL. Mark Cuban became the talk of college football after news broke that the Indiana alum is now helping fund the Hoosiers' NIL efforts. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss why people are making such a big deal about this and whether or not teams need to have a significant benefactor, or benefactors, to be relevant in the NIL landscape. Plus, they also look at all of the teams in college football and guess who has the best chance to have a program turnaround similar to Indiana. The guys also discuss a national championship first. This is the first national championship that will feature two teams sponsored by Adidas. They chat about what this means and the difference between Nike and Adidas' efforts in college athletics.

Later, the CFP conversation continues, but this time it's a look at the future. The guys talk about the latest news of an expanded College Football Playoff. While many conferences support a 16-team model, the Big Ten is holding strong with their 24-team model concept. Will they be open to a 16-team playoff? What kind of changes are coming down the line?
