The College Football Playoff bracket is out. Richard Johnson doesn’t think it’s a big crime that Alabama was included. Alex Kirshner does. The hosts hash out their disagreement and then pull on some other threads from the big reveal:

* Why Richard was able to see so much of this coming

* Why Alex really hates Bama’s inclusion

* Why Richard doesn’t

* How Duke’s loss in the ACC Championship did or didn’t affect Miami’s case

* Notre Dame’s decision not to play in a bowl game

* The increasing anti-Group of 5 backlash that has already started to bubble up after two non-power teams made the field

* No, this is not going to make Notre Dame give up independence

* Early reactions to the rest of the bracket

* The teams Richard thinks could actually win this thing
