AFP editor Chris Graham breaks down the college football playoff

Chris Graham

chris2Augusta Free Press editor Chris Graham joins host Jim Bresnahan on WREL-1450AM in Lexington, Va., to talk sports, with a focus this week on getting an early look at the four-team college football playoff. Did the committee get it right putting Ohio State in as the #4 seed ahead of TCU and Baylor? How will the two semifinal matchups play out? That and more in the college football talk.

Then the attention shifts to college basketball. Fifth-ranked UVA isn’t getting a lot of love on the national scene yet, but can the ‘Hoos build on last year’s success and make a run at the Final Four even without the love? Chris offers his insights.
