Is Clemson a lock to make the College Football Playoff now? Iowa Nepotism & Alabama CFP Ranking

Until Saturday: A show about college football - A podcast by The Athletic

Andy and Ari discuss Clemson's remaining schedule and whether anyone can stop the Tigers from going 13-0. If they do, they'll make the playoff. But are they good enough to beat any of the other teams that might make the CFP? Later, Doug Lesmerises of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer joins the show to discuss his hardball questions to Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz about the performance of offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz. Doug also chimes in on Ferentz's comment Tuesday that he's glad he doesn't have Doug's job. Lastly, where does Alabama fit in the CFP ranking pecking order? Could the Crimson Tide pull rank on undefeated teams because of the program's track record?
