All right, hey, one of our favorites here.

Jesse Simonton, National College Football Calmness.

He's covered Tennessee.

He's covered Florida.

He's covered Georgia.

He's covered about half the damn SEC as well as National College Football.

Jesse, thank you for making the time here

on this holiday weekend, man. I really appreciate it. Absolutely, man. Absolutely. Good time to chop it up

and talk some ball, especially with all the craziness happening in the SEC. Right. So let's just start

right there. I mean, we were joking off there. I mean, a week ago, it was, can the SEC get five?

Could, with some upsets, I mean, could six be in the cards?

Now we're sitting here, we're scratching our head saying, man, does the SEC really have three playoff teams?

I mean, is this, is the SEC is this just is this just kind of where

college football is right now with the transfer portal on NIL and expanded playoff and

conferences colliding and all this? I mean, it's it seems like it's a mess now.

Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of it centers around conference realignment. You know, I think that

frankly the SEC was already the best conference in college football.

And then you bring in Oklahoma and Texas.

And it's not just that, Mike, it's you do that and get rid of divisions.

So you have more of these monster marquee matchups.

And what happens is you see the chaos and carnage that we saw last week. Oklahoma was a terrible football team for much of this year,

but they've got Billy Bowman. They've got some really good defensive players. Brent Venables
