The 1st round of the 12-team College Football Playoff is officially in the books. Penn State, Texas & Ohio State each advance to the quarterfinals after blowout wins.
Caroline, Fitz & Adam give their overarching reactions from the first-ever 1st round games including the significance of home field advantage and why there will always be blowouts no matter the size of the playoffs. The trio break down each of the Saturday games & give their “Power House” and “Power Outage” from round 1. The Penn State defense proved their worth as they caused chaos for Kevin Jennings and SMU. Texas showed they can beat just about anyone when their run game is firing on all cylinders. And Ryan Day brought Ohio State back to national title contention despite their loss to Michigan as they steamrolled Tennessee.
