Your questions. My answers.

I was asked about the College Football Playoff in this week’s mailbag. Will the TV ratings be a dud? Are there too many teams in the bracket? Did the selection committee just whiff? Or what?

Readers also submitted questions about the Pac-12 media rights and expansion, Washington State’s recent woes, Oregon State’s success in the transfer portal, Rickey Henderson’s death, Oregon’s playoff matchup vs. Ohio State, and Christmas dinner.

Thanks to all who submitted questions.
