| 0:00.0 | And welcome back to the Cup of 3 podcast here on CBS Sports, the hurry up |
| 0:29.7 | hot seat countdown continues. We are running through all of the top 25 teams in |
| 0:35.6 | the CBS Sports 2020 preseason rankings. We are calling the authors of those |
| 0:40.7 | previews that you can read on CBS Sports.com up to the hot seat. And so now as |
