Taylor and Travis discuss the preseason favorites for both the NCAA women's and men's college soccer seasons. They get into who they are, what they do, and why they're good, plus some individual player spotlights.

After that, they do their best to empty out the mailbag by answering many, many questions about college soccer, including why don't more college coaches get professional gigs and what's the preferred system of play for most college programs.
