Class of 2024 5-star QB Dylan Raiola was recently predicted by 247Sports to commit to USC. Does this mean Nebraska is out of the running for the 5-star's services?

Afterward, the guys converse about The Athletic's rankings of the top Power 5 programs based on recruiting potential. Georgia is without a doubt No. 1...right? Ari shares his thoughts on the UGA-Alabama struggle. Plus, the pair compare their rankings from Clemson to Colorado and everywhere in between. Where is your favorite program ranked?
