Why College Football Feels More Wide Open Than Ever

I think there, there is a ridiculously rich quarterback talent pool.

There are probably eight or nine teams that could, and I stress the word could, win the national championship.

Tons of off, off, Pitch drama.

We did stress last week that we're more of an on-the-rather-than-off pitch show, but we'll tackle some of that.

And our favourite coach in college football, Lane Kiffin.

There's at least one storyline a week involving him.

This is the time of year, I think, when you're supporting your team.

Anything is possible.

It's a bit like the Premier League.

Anybody can win it before the season starts.

We look forward to sharing our previews with you this show and looking forward to them quickly crumbling by season.

mid-October at the very latest to be optimistic.

Yeah, I'd say if you're a football fan in general, whether it's like high school, college, pro, this is probably peak optimism.

I suppose with the exception of if you're a Browns fan at this point in time.

Or Jets.

This is it.

Or the Jets.

Or the Cardinals.

But yeah, I just think...

I appreciate your comment, too.

We'll get into it, obviously, throughout the season, and we can talk about the quarterbacks and stuff.

I think I've been critical, too, about quarterbacks, but I think you're correct.

Forest for the trees, through the transfer portal, through guys staying in college more, I do 100% agree that going into both last season and in this season, I don't want to use the word hype, but just like the optimism and certainly the ceiling of a number of quarterbacks in the sport right now are definitely higher than I can remember kind of in my kind of football or college football watching life.

And it's just cool to see that number because I think...

And, you know, another thing we can come up to is like, you know, the format and all this, that and the other thing.
