Until Saturday, the Athletics College Football Podcasts.

0:47.6

I am David Ubbin here with Chris Finini.

0:49.7

Chris, I feel like we've been attached to the hip for like a week and a half.

0:53.0

We're now separated by, I don't know how many miles between Dallas and not for like 500 or something like that.

0:57.4

Anyway, welcome back to your studio.

1:01.1

1:06.4

And before that, Charlotte for the coach's convention.

And Dan Uthman was like, does anybody want to rank our editor? Does anybody want to rank all the teams? And I was like, I'll do it. And they're like, yeah, that makes sense. Because I was originally the group of five guy here. I was the only one paying attention to half of FBS. And so it's been, what, seven, eight years now of doing this. And it only gets harder every year. And the playoff made it even harder. Yeah, my advice for Delaware, schedule Ohio State. You never know what might happen.

2:23.5

Today, we are going to break down your final rankings, and the national champion is always going to be number one, but the two spot, people are mad, Chris, and I think you're right.
