## Resource

Episode 3 – Who’s Coming Back Stronger? In this episode of Saturdays Rewritten , we break down what the 16-team College Football Playoff expansion really means — and which teams are ready to thrive in it. Is Oregon poised to finish what they started after a 13-1 campaign? Can Alabama bounce back from a rare 9-4 season and reclaim their place at the top? I dive deep into how these two powerhouse programs are positioned for 2025, what the new format gets right (and wrong), and how the playoff landscape is about to change forever. 🔎 Timestamps 1:11 – College Football Playoff format changes 12:33 – Oregon Ducks Deep Dive 24:55 – Alabama Deep Dive 🔍 Topics covered: The impact of CFP expansion on parity and power Oregon’s rise and what they need to get over the hump Alabama’s expectations in a post-dynasty moment Why the “little guy” might be left out for good 🎧 Listen & Follow Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5FEwQmhlMmMeUNLK3TmdAu?si=cc6cf30014f44f39 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/saturdays-rewritten/id1704389362 Amazon Music: https://a.co/d/iLALqx4 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551612745767 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@saturdaysrewritten Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saturdaysrewritten
