Amanda and Brandon are both out of their element in this special episode of Basic As Football. The couple break from their usual college football topics to make their March Madness predictions for the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

The format of College Football Playoff could change drastically — again — and, boy, is the format confusing. The Big Ten and SEC want more automatic qualifiers in an expanded, 14-team playoff, which could create a confusing selection process and a slew of new "play-in" games for the playoff. Confused? You should be! Even Brandon can't make heads or tails of it sometimes, but he tries to explain it all to Amanda and share the latest he's hearing from his sources about yet another wild storyline dominating the offseason. It's a new episode of Basic AF: Basic As Football!
