It's Clemson and everyone else...again. While there are a few interesting teams in Mack Brown's North Carolina Tar Heels and Manny Diaz's Miami Hurricanes, the rest of the ACC is pretty much...meh to complete garbage. There are a few teams that might come up and challenge including Boston College, Wake Forest and perhaps we might get a flash from Louisville. However, the likes of Florida State and Virginia Tech, formerly football powers are now basketball schools and their football tradition tarnished.  Give us a listen, give us a share!  Let us know how we're doing!!!

Big news in College Football as Texas & Oklahoma secretly talk with the SEC about coming over?  This big shift could send shock waves through the rest of the college football landscape!  We start with that and then get down to business with the previews of the Independents and then Mountain West.

Notre Dame played as part of the ACC last year and now have a tougher road to hoe as an independent this year. Could the shift that's coming in college football force them to the ACC full time? The Mountain West is best out west with the Western division the stronger of the two. Nevada is a strong Top 25 contender this year with lots of NFL caliber talent on the roster including QB Carson Strong (pictured). Both San Jose State and San Diego State will be hot on their heels. Meanwhile a new coach at Boise State has anyone guessing what they might look like moving forward. As the cream of the Mountain Division (and usually the entire conference) they too could be on the move to a new conference as dominos start to fall in the re-shuffle we all know is coming! Our picks for the Mountain West: West: 1. Nevada 2. San Jose State 3. San Diego State 4. Hawaii 5. Fresno State 6. UNLV Mountain: 1. Boise State 2. Wyoming 3. Air Force 4. Colorado State 5. Utah State 6. New Mexico. Independents: 1. Notre Dame 2. Liberty 3. Army 4. BYU 5. UConn 6. UMass 7. New Mexico State

Your host Mike Zimmer and Brian "The Husky Fella" Barrett are back for the first previews of the 2021 College Football Season! For this first episode we talk about the Naming & Imaging Licensing ruling and it's affect on the college football landscape. We also talk about the transfer portal being the new normal, even for the smaller conferences such as the Sun Belt Conference and Conference USA. Our preview starts with the Sun Belt which had one of the bigger stories of the Group of 5 last year with Coastal Carolina's amazing near undefeated run and  (11-1) mark. The East division is the tougher of the two in this league including Coastal, Appalachian State and two other bowl teams; Georgia State and Georgia Southern. Meanwhile, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns are the best team in the west and the rest may struggle. Meanwhile in Conference USA the West is best and the UAB Blazers will have their hands full with UT-San Antonio. The East is leaner, but Marshall, Florida Atlantic and Western Kentucky offer some intriguing teams that could compete for bowl games. Join us and give us a listen, give us a share!
