Welcome to this special bonus podcast. Me and my dad have been watching football together for ten plus years and this year my dad had the great idea of doing a podcast about college football after the season. So here is a podcast that reviews this past season in college football with our opinions and facts. Big thanks to my dad, Wade Hudson for joining the podcast. Also, thanks to Tate Godwin for leveling the audio. For reference we recorded this podcast a few weeks ago.

For The championship I asked my dad this week who he thought would win now that it won’t be Clemson.

Dad: “Ohio State Will Win. I am rooting for Bama.”

Me: (NOT SO FAST) “Bama will win. I am rooting for Ohio State.”

Disclaimer: If you are an NC State or Michigan fan you might not like some of the takes/content in this podcast. Also, we had one very wrong fact. NCSU DID NOT PLAY CLEMSON THIS SEASON. I apologize for that mistake. I was thinking of the game in 2019.
