SALT LAKE CITY — Ahead of the opening week of college football, the powers that be agreed to an expansion of the College Football Playoff to 12 teams. The hosts break down the new playoff model and how it can be advantageous to Utah and the Pac-12.

Could the expansion to 12 teams also mean a slowdown in conference realignment, and is there an advantage to staying put?

Also, the hosts review what the Utes need to do in their home opener against an FCS team to show fans some progress.
