Bud Elliott guest hosts an ACC-intensive episode. The ACC was damn near catastrophic last year, and you can separate basically every non-Clemson team into two categories: those looking to bounce back after crippling disappointments, and those looking to stay ahead of the pack after defeating disappointing teams last year.

HELLO. REMEMBER US?

* Hail to the (donating) victors

* PAPN, your home of Anti-Big Ten Lacrosse propaganda

* What's in YOUR school T-shirt collection?

* AAC TOP END POWER RANKINGS: UCF's gain is USF's pain, Temple only sort of went against type, Houston is spending like a P5 team, Luke Fickell really does like being at Cincinnati, and Memphis has become what we always thought Memphis would become.

* #ASKPAPN: What to know about Michigan OC Josh Gattis? What do running/passing game coordinators do? Does Bill root for what his stats predict (and therefore against Texas)? Does Mark Stoops get a bigger job one day? How's the Gus Bus looking? Are we seeing a scheduling arms race? Is Mark Whipple going to be a good Pitt OC? What hope should FSU fans have this year re: that whole "scoring points" thing?

* We're helping EDSBS raise money for an amazing charity, and we're doing it in the name of ULM. #PAPNbrand

* The More You Know: Joey Lauren Adams got her start on a Married... with Children spinoff.

* LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ASS END OF THE AAC: Words can't describe how magnificently bad UConn's defense was last year, Mike Houston's kind of a jerk but a great damn coach, Tulsa might be low-key the oddest job in FBS, Navy absolutely could bounce back (but it's hard to outright predict it), SMU wasn't as turnkey as we thought, and Willie Fritz ... isn't going to run the ball as much maybe?

* Let's also talk about the Big 12's ESPN+ deal and what it means for both the Big 12 and ESPN's streaming future. The golden age of saving money by cord cutting ... probably isn't going to last much longer.

1. Let's be honest here: between travel difficulties and decrepit computers, you're really lucky to be getting a podcast this week. But we made it in under the wire.

2. SUN BELT PREVIEW STUFF: Georgia State stumbled! Bill has no words for South Alabama! ULM is awesomely pissy! UL is loading the hell up! Georgia Southern is full-on G.A.T.A. again! Coastal Carolina's still weird! We forgot Texas State!

3. Okay, yes, let's talk about the Pac-12's latest someone-give-us-money-please gambit. (Also, NewCo? Really?) That AAC media deal is probably not as pretty as it seems, and besides, the Mountain West is the better conference anyway amirite????

What is the Sloan Conference? Is Bill more comfortable around coaches than nerds now?

CONFERENCE USA PREVIEW TALK: Can Bobby Wilder rebuild what he built at ODU (and what's the ceiling there)? Does Louisiana Tech have another gear? Can FIU transition from lucky to dominant? Where is Alcorn State? Can Southern Miss ride experience to another breakthrough (with a murderous schedule)?

ALSO: Let's talk about the WORST. COLLEGE FOOTBALL. TEAMS. EVER. (Congrats to Northern Arizona and Northwestern. And 1983 Rice.)

#AskPAPN: Dan Mullen absolutely exceeded expectations last year, the transfer portal is modifying bagman culture, NC State is the only cursed football program, the difference between an analyst and lower-level position coach, MORE USC QUESTIONS, sleeping giants vs. giants falling asleep, Jim Delany and oil money (and whether Larry Scott would have thrived as B1G commish), the loaded Big Ten West coaching roster, and Willie Taggart's issues at FSU (man, that Boise State game is huuuuuuge from an anxiety standpoint).
