Continuing in the Megaboard, Andy & Ari head to Big Blue Nation, where Kentucky basketball head coach Mark Pope held a Q&A online yesterday.

 

Next up, it's time for this week's edition of Who Am I? As Ari guessed Dexter Lawrence in the early hints of the game last week, it's Andy's turn to guess this week's iconic player.

As change is inevitable in college football, one major change that is expected in the near future is the expansion of the 12-team College Football Playoff field. As the University of Tennessee put on its Big Orange Caravan, Tennessee AD Danny White went against the grain on what the SEC commissioner wants: a 24 team playoff field. As Greg Sankey has been against the expansion of the 12-team field, it seems as if the 24 team field picks up more and more steam. Is Greg Sankey in quicksand fighting this battle? Will the CFP field really double to 24? Let us know your thoughts if you think this is a good idea.
