    Fantastic interviews. Funny family friendly dad jokes. Great football minds!

    Update 5/13/26:

    I have been listening for years. Amazing content. Love these guys and the whole team (Damien and everyone else who helps out). Wonderful! I lived in Alabama until my mid 30s and now live in Boston. Thanks for making the podcast available to those of us who no longer live in Alabama.

    Alabama being in the playoff is a joke. They passed Notre Dame after beating Auburn by 7 and then remained ahead after being blown out in the CCP. The first year that the “eye test” and advanced metrics do not favor Alabama we magically decide to push the narrative for resume because “it’s different for the 12 team playoff”.

    Defending the decision and the process shows a lack of credibility.

Q: Why is the GM role becoming more important in college football, especially at the G5 level?
The GM coordinates roster valuation, budgeting, and retention strategies in a landscape where money and access to that money can drive player movement, making the GM a critical bridge between coaches, administrators, and athletes.

Q: If we were to map out how those voters are going to think, ask yourself what it takes to win a national title, look at Texas, tell me what they don't have that you listed, that it takes, because they'll have pretty much everything.
Texas could be viewed as having most prerequisites for a title, but the dynamic of voting depends on factors like continuity, leadership, and development; the hosts anticipate debate over whether Texas truly has all the intangibles to win.

Q: Where would you have Ole Miss if you're not projecting this, but you're just thought on maybe the preseason top 10?
Ole Miss would be in the five to seven range, considered underrated and capable of higher performance with their defensive line, experienced offensive line, and quarterback play, though there's still unknowns that could affect the ceiling.
