Last year, the brand-new nature of the College Football Playoff made it harder to look at the whole of the season in advance and point to specific reasons for concern.

On Twitter Simon Cvijanović bringing the situation to light. It’ll be interesting to see what Beckman does from here in the legal realm, at least.
