Rece Davis, Pete Thamel & Dan Wetzel break down the College Football Playoff quarterfinals, starting with Miami vs Ohio State, the trust factor around Carson Beck and whether Ryan Day taking over playcalling changes the matchup.

Plus, they debate if Ole Miss can land the blow against Georgia, pick who they think will punch through to the next round, and close with Michigan’s coaching upgrade in Kyle Whittingham.
