This is an IHeart podcast.

Longtime viewers and listeners to and of the program will remember I was against

playoff expansion, but as I was against it, I said, it's not all bad.

There are going to be some good things that come from playoff expansion.

Then I said the same thing about the portal.

Then I said the same thing about NIL to a certain extent.

Well, I already voiced my concerns about the bad stuff. Here's the good thing that that brought. This season's

going to be insane. I've never been more convinced. I just got off the road. I was at Oregon and

Alabama over the weekend. We'll be on the road this week. I have seen many different camp eye,

plural of campus. I have seen many different camp eye, plural of campus. I have

Like Bradley's not getting fired or anything like that that I know of. I don't want him to get complacent, but I think Bradley's safe this week. But man, we got a we got a lot to roll out. So you need to be following on the socials. At Josh Pate, CFB. Just make sure you're following there because I can't, honestly, I can't announce all this stuff on the show because it would clog the show up. So I've got all that. Oh, you notice I listed 14 bullet points,
