In today's podcast:

John discusses the incredible College Football Playoff semifinal games between Michigan and Alabama in the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl shootout between Washington and Texas, and why the committee was proven right to leave Florida State out of the playoff.

Then, John lists his biggest threats to each of the newly minted #1 seeds in the AFC (the Ravens) and the NFC (the 49ers), what went wrong with the Philadelphia Eagles against the Cardinals, what the Bears should do now they have secured the #1 pick in the draft, where Bill Belichick should coach next year, and the bad look the Broncos are getting for their handling of Russell Wilson this season.

Then, John says that Chris Sale making the Braves rotation complete makes them the World Series favorites and why David Stearns is taking the right approach for the Mets.
