This is an IHeart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

I'm sitting here with this huge bag of mail.

We got so much left over from Q&A submissions over the weeks and months that I thought it was time, and I think it is time, and it feels like it is time to bring back the Pate State Extra podcast, formerly known as the Late Kick Extra podcast.

Those of you who have rolled with us from the beginning

know this to be over time our most entertaining avenue of content those of you over time know

that you can only find this in the podcast feeds on spotify or apple or whatnot you're really

not going to see this on the youtube channel maybe maybe if jesse gets around to it you see a clip or two but we don't put this in long form on the YouTube channel. Maybe, maybe if Jesse gets around to it, you see a clip or two,

but we don't put this in long form on the YouTube channel. So here's the deal. I just have a

bunch of things written down on a piece of paper. I have a few questions that you asked, saved.

And I will just meander through these as the morning rolls on. Happy You're with us here.

Our next live show will be Thursday night. But in the meantime, there's really no formatted way we do this.

I just dive into it. So first question, and I close my eyes, and I point my index finger.

And, oh, good. We actually land on one of my favorites.

Kyle from Tacoma, Washington, asked about preseason

rankings. Are preseason rankings the most useless thing we do in college football? Who is we, Kyle?

Who is we? I can't include myself in we because I am going to take a very unpopular stance here.

I love preseason rankings.

I heavily traffic in them.

I participate in them.

I put out several versions of them.

I'm not even talking about power ratings either.
