CFB Playoff Complaints w/ Danny Kanell, Plus the Chiefs’ Necessary Reset w/ Mike Sando

Ryen opens with his thoughts on the College Football Playoff bracket and why we love to complain about the rankings no matter what. Then, Danny Kanell stops by for more playoff discussion, including Notre Dame’s frustration, the Group of 5 problem, and whether Ohio State can bounce back from the Indiana loss. Next, he chats with Mike Sando from The Athletic about the Chiefs needing a reset, the Daniel Jones injury, and whether this is the best Rams team under McVay. Finally, Ryen, Kyle, and Ceruti close it out with some listener-submitted Life Advice.
