It’s finally game week. Hallelujah! Naturally, you have questions…
From @Fields4Heisman: What Week 1 game has the biggest College Football Playoff implications? Assuming Auburn vs. Washington.
I love the way @Fields4Heisman structured his question, because our parents did warn us what would happen when we assume. Unfortunately, that’s all we can do until foot hits ball on Thursday.
The two most logical candidates are Auburn-Washington in Atlanta and Michigan-Notre Dame in South Bend, and the way in which they are important could wind up being related. Unlike some people, I don’t think a Washington loss to Auburn immediately sinks the Pac-12 in the playoff race.
