Hello again, everybody.

Ben Garrett here for On 3 Rebel Grove and Mudcat Media alongside Barstools, Ben Mince,

for another edition of week to college football picks, another week of picks and men's first

and foremost, man, how you doing? Last week was a productive one, an insane one in college football

as far as results. Kind of what did you think about week one and how's everything going?

Man, everything's good. My Texas and Baylor picks didn't age the best on the show, but, you know,

I ended up making a little money over the weekend, so can can't be too mad. Great week one, man. Just excited to have college football back. I think one thing you saw last week was the offenses take a little while to get going. And you saw it in the Texas Ohio State game. You saw it in the LSU Clemson game. The defenses start out a little ahead of the offenses. I thought that was a little bit of a theme.

But then when you look at week one, the fall of Alabama football. You just got to love it.

Like you wonder what you're even watching. I mean, Florida State just took it to them, start

to finish, Gus Malzon, getting some revenge on Bama.

But all these, I don't want to say idiots because it was colleagues of mine, but there were people that I really respect saying Bama was going to make the national championship and stuff. And I was like, what are y'all watching? You know, like, and it feels like the, you know, I don't know how bad it's going to get this year,

but everybody's lining up to take their best shot. And it feels like the, you know, I'm not, I don't know how bad it's going to get this year,

but, man, everybody's lining up to take their best shots at them after the last 15, 20 years.

And, you know, that I thought the Florida State win was a huge story.

And then the LSU thing, the defensive improvement from LSU after spending 15 to 20 million on the roster.

I mean, their defense hadn't been good for years.

You know, you think back, they've always had historically good ones.

Shutting out Clemson on the road in the second half was super, super impressive.

So you got to immediately think they're one of the favorites in the SEC.

Well, what was so crazy about the Alabama result was how uninspiring all of the talent of Alabama looked.

You know, even the guys that were supposed to be, their absolute studs.

Ryan Williams has just not had a good run of things lately, the star wide receiver.
