Hello and welcome in. It's always college football. I'm your host Greg McElroy. So happy to have you here with us. We are located in this incredibly beautiful studio. In Miami, we're not really in a studio. We're in a hotel conference room, but we're supposed to be outside and it's raining, unfortunately. So we are going to have some amazing guests that are going to come to us, talk a little ball. We're going to have Jimbo Fisher. We're going to ask him a little bit about putting a roster together nowadays. He, of course, did at A&M, won a national championship at Florida State. Ask him, how is it that Indiana's done what they've done? And if he were to go into coaching, what would he potentially do differently when it comes to talent evaluation and putting a roster

1:11.6

together? We also might ask him if he's going to get back into coaching. Stay tuned for that.

We also are going to have Stanford Steve join the show. We're going to talk about the incredible

championship. He feels a little differently about the game that I do when it comes to what the

1:41.2

outcome might be from a point spread perspective. But we both kind of lean towards

one side when it comes to the total. So we'll have those great conversations and we will of

1:52.8

course continue to preview the national championship game that's coming up about 24 hours

1:58.3

from now. So very much looking forward to it. Let's dive in. It's Jimbo Fisher, National Championship winning coach. All right, National Championship winning head coach. Jimbo Fisher does an amazing job now on ACCC. Now, are you liking the TV again? I'm an expert. I'm right all the time. All the time. You can never be wrong. It's funny. Still connected. And I tell you what, when you're in the season with yourself you're working about your team yeah this I actually get to see a lot
