This is an I-Heart podcast.

I don't know how you sit still.

How do you sit still right now?

Let me put it to you as plain as I can.

The next time you and I talk, we will have conference standings in the ACC.

It's here.

We don't have to talk anymore.

We actually get to watch the games get played.

We are jam-packed live high atop of very anxious downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

And why is that?

Because we are doing final, final, absolutely slam the door,

take it to the bank, final predictions tonight. Triple on the final. Conference and playoff.

So I'm going to tell you what I feel and whatever's in my heart right now is whatever goes.

It's a good thing we do this show live because to be honest with you, it's the kind of show where if I got to the end and we weren't live,

I probably tell Colin to just scrub the whole thing because I hate predictions. But we're making them tonight by the, well, by the dozen, actually. We're making them tonight. Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin, that little story that popped up in John Talti and Armicatan's book that's about to be out on newsstands. You've boy got an advanced copy of it. I got my own Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin's story. And since they shared one, I'm going to expound on it. You guys will like that. Way, way, way back in the day I shared that story, but almost none of you were listening yet. So I know we got a much bigger audience now than we did them. I'll tell you what I witnessed in the bowels of the Georgia Dome back in December of 2016.

Such a simpler time. Who's the most talented team in the country? We have some thoughts. We will

discuss as we dive into the show tonight. I am going to predict the FSU Georgia Tech game, by the way.

And we've got, well, we got a major announcement on the show tonight. I am going to predict the FSU Georgia Tech game, by the way, and we've got, well, we got a major announcement on the show tonight. I got like still three or four of them to come before the season starts. So we are beyond jam-packed, and therefore I can waste no more time because the segment I'm going to lead the show with, I didn't even just tease. That's how much we have going on.

They're watching us in San Marcos, Texas. They're watching us in Orlando, Florida, Avon, Indiana, Big Spring, Missouri. Thank you guys so much. It has occurred to me that several thousand of you were new. You weren't here this time last year. And I know that. And I know we do a lot on this show that's not like the other shows, which I guess is a good thing. But we say a lot of things on here that make no sense to you. It's sort of inside baseball. It's different nomenclature. We have different features. What is Pate State? Why in the world does he call it a J.P. poll? What does immunity mean? So many different.

What is Pate State to begin with? I've never heard of that. Well, I think what we need to do, not tonight, but on either the, probably the Sunday night show, is I am going to at the end of that show, yeah, we'll do it Sunday night. Colin, hold me to this. At the end of the Sunday night show, I'm just going to do a welcome back refresher course on everything you need to know about this show.

From what the JP poll is to where you can find Friday night lines to why we even have a tour,

to what Pate State is, to yes, what immunity means, all in everything in between. Why in the world did I just wear a white t-shirt on there? Is he poor? Is he homeless? Maybe yes, maybe no. I'll
