The inaugural college football 12-Team Playoff had some interesting results with the eighth-seeded Ohio State Buckeyes beating the seventh-seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish to win last season's CFP Championship.

Last season, the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag opened their playoff odds with 33 teams. This year, they’ve opened them with all 134 FBS teams.

Here are some notes from last year’s opening odds:

• The teams with the five best odds all made the playoff: Ohio State, Georgia, Oregon, Texas and Clemson.
• The teams with the sixth to 12th best odds did not make the playoff: FSU, K-State, Michigan, Utah, Miami, Ole Miss and Arizona.
• Notre Dame was 5/2 (+250) to make the playoff, which equated to 28.57%.
• These playoff teams did not have opening odds: ASU, Boise State, Indiana and SMU.

🏈 What should Notre Dame Football look like when training camp kicks off if the Irish are serious about a College Football Playoff run in 2025?

@Tyler James is on vacation, so WSBT radio host Darin Pritchett (Weekday SportsBeat) joins me tonight at 7 ET on YouTube for a Football Never Sleeps episode focused on Notre Dame’s summer progress report — and what absolutely must be in place by July 31 when camp begins ahead of the season opener vs. Miami on Aug. 31. Darin and I have been doing radio shows together since 2012, with a break during the COVID-19 pandemic.

🔍 Topics on tap:
• How much growth should CJ Carr and Kenny Minchey show in their command of the offense post-spring?
• What’s the right way to separate QB1 and QB2 — and is there room for a situational role for the backup?
• How deep should Notre Dame go at wide receiver, and when should that rotation be trimmed?
• With Jordan Botelho out early, what’s the ideal plan for the defensive end rotation?
• The latest buzz in recruiting, including targets, trends, and takeaways
• And as always, YOUR questions answered live
