Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast: A CFP Without The ACC

The College Football Playoff is set, but it will not contain an ACC team this year. To say Florida State wasn’t happy about it is putting it mildly.

The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast talked about the committee’s decision to leave out an undefeated Power 5 champion and how that impacts our excitement about the upcoming bowl season. Plus a whole lot more.

In this episode:

  • The controversial decision to exclude undefeated Florida State from the College Football Playoff (0:00-20:57)
  • The most interesting bowl matchups in the middle of transfer portal season (20:57-28:03)
  • Charlie Baker’s proposal for subdivisions in college athletics (28:03-39:11)
  • Bronco Mendenhall’s return to coaching (39:11-42:37)

TheSabre.com presents The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast, a college sports podcast through the lens of the ACC. Michael McGraw, a University of Virginia graduate and fan, and Michael Shutt, a life-long NC State fan, both grew up watching the ACC and have insights on the history and present of the conference … plus plenty of healthy ABC – (Anybody But Carolina) bias.
