| 1:29.5 | the Big 12. You've got a great preview and breakdown of the Big 12. How would you describe this |
| 1:35.7 | league and the chaos that is likely to ensue? First off, Pete, thanks for having me on. I've been a |
| 1:41.8 | big fan of Heartland College Sports and what you guys have built over the years. It's my weekly go-to in the fall. You know, the season goes so quick. I'm doing all four power-four conferences. So you're my go-to for getting caught off of Big 12. So keep up the excellent coverage.

But at the top, I'm going with last year's champ. I didn't want to overthink it. When I look back on my advanced stats last year, my game grader, my opponent adjusted stats, there was no fluke. This Arizona State team was legit, especially in the |
| 2:51.7 | second half of the season after they caught fire there. They do lose Kemp Skadaboo, a huge loss. |
| 2:57.1 | Their coordinator calls them Scat plays. There was like a crazy place where he's breaking five |
