Summary

The first College Football rankings are in and McElroy is here to give you his full breakdown. Not much of a surprise in the Top 10 but some questions about Texas and Penn State’s best wins and should BYU be worried about their first reaction. Should Clemson, and Army even be ranked, will Notre Dame hold inside the Top 10 and if you are an SMU fan should you be worried? Plus we play a game of “what if” with Miami, Texas and Notre Dame.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
