We are back with another edition of #JoeTalk to break down the latest AAC players to make it into the NFL. The conference had 18 players selected, two behind the Big 12, which further proves the conference is making the right move to push the P6. UCF led the conference with four picks, the same number of players drafted as Auburn, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas and USC, to name a few (5:30). Before we get away from UCF, we touch on the recent addition of the championship banner and how it has college football fans still talking (6:00). Parry Nickerson to the Jets was the steal for Joe S., while Joe B. was surprised that two players from Temple not named Sean Chandler got drafted (13:45). We highlight some notable undrafted free agents, including Quinton Flowers, Kyle Allen and Mike Boone (16:45), and Joe B. brings up a great point in that most of the first-round picks were multi-sport athletes (26:30). We end the show discussing the new NCAA Football game that is set to be released in 2020, and will it force EA Sports to recreate the game as well (29:00).

After a little vacation/sick time, Joe and Satchel bounce back to go over an eventful month or so in C-USA. The league went just 4-5 in bowl games, but a few teams ended their years on great notes.

We are back with another edition of Joe Talk, and before we get into a heated debate about UCF, we recap an up-and-down performance by the American Athletic Conference in the bowl season. SMU laid an egg against La Tech (2:00), Quinton Flowers and USF had a thrilling win over Texas Tech (9:00) and Navy absolutely destroyed Virginia (15:23). Then, we have some words about Big 12 commish Bob Bowlsby and his claim about depth with Kansas in his own conference. We stand behind the UCF Knights as the 2017 National Champions (32:40). Look no further than to Alabama, who actually has claimed a questionable championship (36:36). A home-and-home between the two teams would be a great way to settle the debate (50:15).

We are back with another episode of Joe Talk, our AAC edition of the pawd. On this show, we talk about the new Early Signing Day that will take place this week and how it will impact the conference. It was a bit of a shocker to see the Cincinnati Bearcats lead the AAC in recruiting as of today, and the coaching changes have hurt some teams like UCF and SMU. It is still early so things could change, but the AAC currently holds the top 4 recruiting class for the non-Power 5 programs. We then dive into each bowl game involving teams from the American, including the highly anticipated Peach Bowl between UCF vs. Auburn.

Joe can barely talk, but the show must go on! He and Satchel disagree on most of the bowls, so prepare for some debate. FAU will likely roll, FIU can set a school record, Tech and SMU will be a firefight, Marshall versus Colorado State could be a great battle, and more.

Happy Bowl season everybody!
