The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

We're still about a week away from knowing which four teams will be going to the college football playoff, but I'm already beginning to hear murmurs of Ohio State being able to sneak its way back into the 4-team format, but unless complete and total chaos ensues on Saturday, I don't think that should happen.
