Michigan prevails in the national title game despite home-grown Harbaugh controversies. Nick Saban retires after ruining college football. and the game will never be the same.

Measuring portal transfers and opt outs turns into a mass of underdogs and overs for the final week of the bowl season.

Transfer portal and opt-outs gone crazy. How are we supposed to give our listeners guaranteed winners for bowl games a week from now? Oh, we try...
