## Resource

National champion Mack Brown joins CBS Austin's Bob Ballou to talk all things Longhorns! They start the show by discussing the College Football Playoff, whether Texas had a better case to make the field than it was given credit for, Steve Sarkisian's approach to bowl season, Notre Dame's decision to opt out of a bowl game and what type of ripple effect that decision could have. Then, they dive into what Indiana's turnaround from Big Ten doormat to the top seed in the CFP says about this era of college football. They also get into why Ole Miss was seeded ahead of Texas A&M, the toughest part of the bracket and the news that starting next season Notre Dame will automatically receive a playoff bid if it's ranked in the top 12. The guys wrap up the show by picking their Underdogs of the Week, talking about the first wave of roster movement for the Longhorns and providing their initial thoughts on Texas' Citrus Bowl matchup with Michigan. ___ Chapters (00:00) Michael Huff's Hall of Fame Induction (05:04) Reacting to the CFP Selections (08:40) Texas' Approach to Bowl Season vs Notre Dame's (34:10) What Does Indiana's Success Tell Us?
