Welcome to the Audible.

I'm Stuart Mandel, joined as always by Bruce Feldman.

I'm coming to you from very rainy Eugene, Oregon.

Bruce, you are actually at home for once.

Is that right?

That is true.

I am in Southern California, and I'm very glad to be home and on this time zone, by the way.

And speaking of people who spent the entire spring on the road, we are pleased to be joined

by our friend, Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples, who is the co-host of his own podcast,

the Campus Rush podcast, with another one of our friends, Lindsay Schnell, Andy,ples, who is the co-host of his own podcast, the Campus Rush podcast, with another one of

our friends, Lindsay Schnell. Andy, welcome to the Audible. Oh, I am honored to be here. Honored.

So between the three of us, we've seen every school in the FBS this spring.

Pretty much. No, no, not quite that, but the two of you guys in particular, I don't have much to contribute here. I have a little bit. The two of you really canvassed the country. And so what we want to do here is have some discussions between the three of us about some of the teams that at least one of us saw. And that includes some really big name programs. Now, if you've been listening to the Audible the last week or so,

or if you have a better point, if you haven't,

go back and download the last couple episodes.

We got into Ohio State, Penn State, West Virginia, Pitt, Stanford,

the two LA schools. We've hit a bunch of schools already. Now we're

going to hit more. And I want to start with the defending national champions, the Clemson Tigers.

Andy, you went there. You also, you know, living in Florida, you went to Florida State.

I watched Florida State Spring Game. I want to talk about these two teams who we've come to expect to contend for that division

and the ACC and as an extension of that at the National Championship.

I don't know, which team do you think is on better footing right now?
