It's kind of interesting to be starting football here in March, especially when we'll be able to get the pads.

But exciting, good to get going.

And I appreciate the turnout.

We got a lot of work to do a long way to go.

Hello and welcome to always college football. I'm your host Greg McElroy. Today is Thursday,

March 6th. And we hope that you're enjoying the show, wherever it is that you're consuming the show on

Spotify, Apple podcast, ESPN College Football YouTube channel. All of that is great. Wherever you get the show,

we hope you're enjoying it. It's been honestly a pretty

exciting offseason so far. I look at just the playing field across the game from the best

team in the country to the worst Power 5 team in the country and feels like the gap might be

closer than ever. Those of you that are fans of Purdue might not feel that way. And those of you

that are fans of Ohio State who won the national championship might think the gap is massive. I happen

to think that this year upcoming is going to be really intriguing. And if there's one thing that we

learned from last year, it's that teams like Indiana, teams like SMU, teams that have not traditionally been in the mix for a college

football playoff spot now have access with the landscape changes that we've seen in the

sport. So very excited about this offseason and the more I dive into these teams, the more I'm

starting to think, man, we're going to have some chaos this upcoming

season. We have a lot of news that's also come out here over the last week or so. We want to dive

into some of those stories. Some are more interesting than others. And others, I think we can spin

into a conversation about that team. We'll talk some Wisconsin. We'll talk some giant killers

and some teams that are going to be around 500, maybe slightly better, that can be a huge problem

for teams that have championship aspirations. We're going to talk about Bill Belichick, as you can see.
