It's not even September but in some parts of the world it's already time to talk about what will and won't happen when the first 12-team College Football Playoff takes shape in several months. Like on Get Up, where Paul Finebaum and Desmond Howard discussed some intriguing Week 1 matchups and what they could ultimately mean. According to Howard, Notre Dame's test against Texas A&M means everything because it's the only real test obscuring their view of the playoff.
"If [Notre Dame] wins Saturday, you can just go ahead and write them in ink in the College Football Playoff," Howard concluded after ticking through what is admittedly an extremely weak Irish schedule after the trip to College Station.
