Ingram Smith, Bud Elliott back again for another episode of the No Cast, early morning, Saturday, holiday, weekend, No Cast, always fun to do.

And I say that seriously, love being able to catch up with you bud. Now you got back from California and certainly not lacking general topics to discuss about the college world right now.

We will thank the people that make all of these discussions possible. Tarpin Sellers winery, fantastic wine company out of the Napa Valley there.

Ever so fortunate to have the success that we've had with them over the three or four years that we've worked with them.

TarpinCellers.com is the website, No Cast, just the coupon code, big shout out to Jeremy and his team and a big thank you for making all of this possible Louisiana hot sauce.

Always want to acknowledge you too and don't want your three simple ingredients to get jealous. So with that bud, let's jump into this No Cast and we'll get started here.

Let's do this thing man, quite quite a bit to talk about. I guess we'll just go in in order that we have it here on the sheet, not necessarily in order of importance, but certainly this first topic that we have is going to impact Florida state in the nearest of futures.

I guess we could say so the ACC is going to a three three five scheduling model for my money. It could not have come.

I could not have come quick enough. I like this idea quite a bit. It gets rid of divisions far too frequently the two best teams in the conference were in one division which met you had a rather lackluster championship game.

In fact, in some years, I think you could argue that the three best teams in the league were all in the one division, which almost always was the Atlantic division.

The division of issue Clemson and Louisville in C state. Syracuse Boston College and Wake Forest there a name to all are in. That's this the last year really we really have to remember who is in divisions because this is coming in 2023.

It is you has three permanent rotating opponents and then we'll play everybody else in the league within a two year span. So that means if you're an athlete on campus, you will play if you play four years. Every single team in your home stadium and their home stadium, which is almost like a conference is opposed to what we have now where you have multiple four year groups of players who will go without ever playing a game at an opposing stadium.

When is the last time if issue play the game at pit 2013? Yeah, it would have been a lot of response. Yeah, the old James game as it's become known. That's correct. That's correct.

If issues permanent opponents are Miami, Clemson and Syracuse.

A couple of ways we can take this. Where do you want to go first? Like the do you like the opponent opponents? Do you want to go conspiracy theories and discuss what do you want to do here?

I do love good sports, conspiracy theory, but we'll save that for the second grouping here of conversation. Let's talk about the immediate foes that Florida state has.

You know, of the I guess power football schools, they're the only two that got two other power football schools in it.

You're still in the ACC though. I'm not going to get too wrapped up in this.

You're still going to get a nice sampling of schools. Otherwise that really by all accounts, you should be just based off football pedigree resources and everything else.

So I don't want to get too fired up about who Florida state got in this three group pairing.

But it is interesting that the Georgia Tech conversation is one that we need to have been that the.

You know, there's not much in geographic proximity in this conference and I guess a five hour ride from Atlanta.
