The Biggest What-Ifs of the 2018 College Football Season

What if there's an alternate reality in which the 2018 college football season—with just a couple of minor tweaks—was entirely different?

In a world in which Vanderbilt upsets Notre Dame, Georgia's fake punt works, Kelly Bryant never transfers and a major league baseball team tells Kyler Murray he's not allowed to play football, you're looking at one heck of a change from the actual College Football Playoff picture.
