Eastern time, 8.30 a.m. Pacific as we break down everything that happened from the weekend.

Guys, we have a lot to get into.

Ralph's going to join us as we're going to break down his AP ballot in a minute,

but we're also going to talk about some big upsets that we think are going to happen and a lot to get into.

But let's start with what we have issues with Ralph's ballot.

Ralph, what was different about this week compared to last week for you?

So what I'm learning as a first time voter is you're trying to, early in the season, lean into results.

People want you to vote on results. Oh, you know, this team did this. But you have so few results.

And you have also have so few results that actually matter.

When 60 to 70% of the games are not even real games, if you lean too much into results,

that doesn't necessarily make a ton of sense either. When you have a bunch of mismatches, forget about just Ohio State grambling. That's not even a game. That's barely

a scrimmage for Ohio State. But even LSU Louisiana Tech, Penn State, FIU.

I know neither LSU or Penn State played all that well,

but they were never threatened.

I don't know if either team, you know,

are they playing guys who they may not normally play as many snaps,

get a couple more freshmen?

I just feel like it's hard to gauge how meaningful that game should be or how much I should take from it.
