Welcome back to the latest edition of the Audible, presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Bruce Feldman, joined as always by

my colleague from the athletic Stuart Mandel. We're taping this in mid-May, and it is, I'm going to say

it's the dead of the off-season do, but we're certainly before training camps and after spring football.

We have an athletic offsite this week.

And so our company has decided to do a bunch of retrospective pieces about the 2000s.

And the first thing that kicked off our series on Monday was your ranking of the top 25 best teams since 2000.

I have a story that went up on the best 25 players since 2000.

Obviously, both of those things are among the things that people will have a lot of opinions on

and probably think that

we're wrong and we're idiots and they're probably not wrong. But let's get into both of them.

I want to start with since yours kicked off this series on Monday, you went with your top 25 teams.

I got to say, I'm not surprised what your number one and number two were.

What was the toughest thing for you? Was it who you left out of the top 25 or was it the top two?

Honestly, the toughest thing just in general, anytime you're comparing completely different

eras.

And you might think, but it's just this century, it's just 25 years.

Well, college football in 2002 is a lot different than college football now.

So how so?

How would you, obviously now we have a playoff.

The season's much longer.

But how else would you say it's really different?
