## Resource

The Friday mailbag is here. We start this show with an idea from a listener about the proposed expansion of the College Football Playoff. Why not go back to the old BCS ways of picking participants? It’s not an entirely bad concept, say hosts Connor and Mitch. Was Matt Rhule pulling the strings as his touted QB recruit picked a high school in Nebraska? Do reporters in college sports live in fear that their access will be revoked if they cross a line? Who among the 2025 CFP participants on Nebraska’s schedule next season are the Huskers most likely to beat? Does Jordy Frahm rate as the greatest ever? And are we giving Will Bolt a pass for Nebraska’s regional slips? Join us for a full episode.
