This episode of Football 301, Matt Harmon joins me for some power rankings, one through 10. We look at the contenders, the pretenders, the pretenders, and everything in between, even a couple honorable mentions. Then we close out the show with some fantasy trade booking. We asked you guys to send us some trade ideas, and we took a look at them. We analyzed them about how those teams would fit, how the players would fit.

feeling pretty good we're like midway through the regular season uh we are kind of uh in the current

1:20.9

reality i don't want to get too set in stone about where we are with any of these teams or anything

1:25.8

some of them yeah we've settled into like yeah one of the teams of the top five, in both of our top fives, it looks like, we would definitely not have had here in the preseason. And yet we've accepted that this is, this is where this team is. We're kind of living in that current reality. And you know, we're mostly buying it, but I'm also ready for some of these takes to look really bad in a couple of months. I'm totally prepared for that.

One of the teams that we're going to talk about probably early because we both have them up there is a big surprise.

I'll start with mine. I'll show mine. And then you can show me yours. we're going to start and we kind of break these off. We're the tier of contenders, you know, we think for the rest of the season.
