They argue that the entire structure of college football is now overwhelmingly &quot;playoff-driven,&quot; causing the conference championship games to lose their significance. Winning a conference used to be a huge deal, but now teams like Notre Dame feel that if they aren't in the CFP, the season is effectively &quot;done,&quot; and they're shutting down. This discussion leads to a sharp condemnation of Notre Dame's decision to sit out its bowl game, which the hosts call &quot;the worst sportsmanship&quot;. They emphasize that this move sends a terrible message and deprives younger players and fans of a chance at postseason play. One host predicts that all this hand-wringing will eventually lead the NCAA to create a completely separate playoff for the Group of Five schools, effectively formalizing a &quot;P4 playoff&quot; to quiet the ongoing controversy.
