AP Top 25 release brings some normalcy (kind of) back to our lives Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

Trey and Brandon Marcello have a laugh at the expense of the preseason AP Top 25, which features nine teams who won't play this year. Those teams — and their conferences — won't factor into the CFB Playoff race either, with the Playoff announcing its revised rankings dates Monday as well as its intent to forge ahead. Combine this all with the fact that college football is starting this weekend at the FCS level (Austin Peay vs. Central Arkansas) and that pigskin is being played at levels below (high school) and above (the NFL's latest covid-19 testing numbers are supremely positive), and it sure feels like there's finally momentum on college football's side.

NCAA voting on great eligibility tweaks | A bubble could be the Big Ten — and everybody else's — best bet Aug 21, 2020

Show notes

If you play this fall, it won't count against your eligibility. Trey and Chris Hummer break down what that means and what it doesn't. Plus, the Big Ten's reported plans to play in the spring involve a bubble-type setting at neutral sites. The concept of a "bubble" is all the rage this week as universities peel back on in-person learning, creating in essence a safer space for college athletes.

Show notes

Arch Manning debuted as the No. 1 QB in the class of 2023 rankings 247Sports released Wednesday. Assessing his play on the field without ANY Manning bias is one thing, says Charles Power. Extracting recruiting info from the royal family of quarterbacking is another, says Steve Wiltfong.

Justin Fields' petition to play | A saliva-based coronavirus test could be a game-changer | No. 1 recruit in 2022 is off the board Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

We made it through another weekend! But that doesn't necessarily mean it was a quiet one. Friday got off to a bang when 5-star QB Quinn Ewers, who's been compared to Trevor Lawrence, committed to Texas. The weekend saw star Buckeye QB Justin Fields petition the Big Ten to let the players play. Many parents are on board with that. And the latest covid-19 news has a saliva-based test earning FDA approval at a time when we needed something like it badly.

Florida State dodges a second player mutiny Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

If there's Florida State drama afoot, you know Trey's going to have to get Noles247's Josh Newberg on the line. Thursday's player vs. program spat simmered down quickly after Mike Norvell denounced accusations that the Noles are lying about covid-19 protocols, but it was enough to temporarily put football on teetering status. If nothing else, it's a window into an issue that won't be exclusive to Florida State going forward.

The Big 12 hangs tough, while old friend Nebraska takes heat for its threat Aug 13, 2020

Show notes

Thursday's episode features two interviews. Up first, Trey talks with Horns247's Chip Brown about how the Big 12 and its medical advisors came to a decision to move forward with football. Then Trey calls up Husker247's Michael Bruntz to see if Nebraska is really serious about leaving the Big Ten to find a dance partner for this season, or whether this is just a $52 million game of chicken.

The Big Ten and Pac-12 canceled fall football. Maybe the Big 12 can save the season Aug 11, 2020

Show notes

Trey and Chris Hummer talk through the day we've all been dreading and come to a conclusion moving forward: The Big 12 is college football's swing state. Will they join the Big Ten and Pac-12 in canceling their seasons ... or will they give the SEC and the ACC the comfort they need to stage action this fall?
