This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome in Lake Higgins live.

It is Sunday night, July 11th, the Year of Our Lord, 2021. This time, two months from now, you and I will be sitting here discussing not even week one. We'll be breaking down week two of college football. That's how close we are. A lot of you have friends you hadn't seen in a little while. A lot of you have family. You need to go visit. errands you need to run. You got less than 60 days to do it. That's all I'll tell you. We got a jam-packed show

tonight. Thank you so much for tuning in. Show the other night did incredible numbers, which pales in comparison to what we will do in the season, but still a lot of you, we would call them P-1s in the radio world, which means they're just there all the time. We've got a lot of P-1s on the entire late kick crew here. So thank you so much. Let me tell you what we're talking about

247 Sports.com about the most polarizing teams in 2021, but not necessarily a love or a hate thing,

just the teams with the widest discrepancy and expectation level. And there are some out there.

An example quickly. Do you know that some preseason publications in college football preview

magazine world don't even have Florida listed in the top 25, we will discuss.

Speaking of Florida, that LSU Florida game this year, it's not game preview time yet.

I'm not going to be one of those folks who puts out my first edition of a preview on a game

and then I revised the prediction three times before the game.

However, I got some broad strokes thoughts

on LSU, Florida, because sometimes games have a little bit more significance than just one game
