## Resource

Steve Sarkisian blasts the College Football Playoff selection process, calling out its lack of transparency and questioning whether the 13-member committee can fairly evaluate dozens of teams each week. As Texas Longhorns fans still reel from last season’s controversial CFP snub, BK, unpacks Sarkisian's pointed remarks on flawed selection criteria, inconsistent decision-making, and the shifting landscape of college football. How will playoff expansion and the ever-growing complexity of conference realignment, NIL, and travel impact powerhouse programs like Texas? Can the CFP committee truly keep up, or will brand names and media polls continue to overshadow on-field results? Tune in for a bold take on the future of the sport and what must change to ensure the best teams actually earn their shot at a national title. Thanks for tuning in!
