The College Football postseason is officially here and the ride to get to this point was far from smooth.
Michigan, Washington, Texas and Alabama are all heading to the College Football Playoff to contend for a national title. For a program like Alabama, that would add another trophy to a truly dominant run over the past several seasons. For a program like Texas, this provides a chance for the team to reclaim glory from earlier in the decade.
For Michigan and Washington, it presents an opportunity to reach a height not seen in the current millennium. While these opportunities are exciting, the postseason is not singularly defined by just the team's contending for a national title.
