The Obstructed View Podcast

In the season 4 debut episode of The Obstructed View Podcast I breakdown the 12 team college football playoff. The playoff is highlighted by the surprise #1 seed Indiana Hoosiers who won their first Big 10 Championship since 1945. Rounding out the top 4 seeds is #2 Ohio State, #3 Georgia Bulldogs & #4 newcomers Texas Tech Red Raiders. First round match ups kick off December 19th with Oklahoma hosting the Alabama Crimson Tide. The following day Texas A&M plays the Miami Hurricanes in College Station, Texas, then Ole Miss without HC Lane Kiffin, who is moving to LSU host the Tulane Green Wave as the group of 5 highest ranked team. The night cap has the Oregon Ducks playing cinderella team, James Madison Dukes who qualified for the playoff as the highest ranked conference winner when Duke upset The University of Virginia and won the ACC with a 8-5 record, which allowed JMU to make their first CFB playoff. After the first weekend of campus games we move onto the quarterfinals hosted by the Orange, Sugar, Cotton & Rose Bowls. The Peach & Fiesta Bowls host the semi-finals followed by the Championship game in Miami Gardens. Enjoy the football over the Holidays & my Obstructed View of the CFB playoffs!
