Summary

The Associated Press poll is out, and of course it will not accurately predict the final rankings for the season — or the final College Football Playoff rankings. But if it did, we’d be getting Penn State at Alabama in round one and Michigan at Texas three months after Texas played at Michigan. Yeah, we’d take that. (0:00-0:28) Intro (0:28-21:11) College Football Playoff based on AP Poll's History (21:12-43:26) Tim Watts from Bama Online joins to provide the latest on the Crimson Tide (43:27-46:46) Furthering the CFP Discussion (46:47-1:11:26) Sean Callahan joins to dive deeper into the Nebraska Cornhuskers (1:11:27-1:13:40) Conclusion; QB Draft Tomorrow, Dear Andy Thursday! Next, Tim Watts of On3’s Bama Online joins Andy to discuss what a Kalen DeBoer offense built around Jalen Milroe might look like. Tim and Andy also talk about how sneaky difficult Alabama’s schedule is and why Tim thinks the Crimson Tide will lose two regular-season games. Later, Sean Callahan of On3’s HuskerOnline joins the show to talk about how Matt Rhule is handling the likelihood of freshman Dylan Raiola starting at QB. Sean provides an update on Nebraska’s banged-up offensive line as camp progresses, and he explains why the Cornhuskers’ defense should remain salty. Want to watch the show instead?

Welcome to Andy Staples on three.

The Associated Press poll is out and it is wrong.

0:10.2

Well, I mean, the preseason poll is always going to be wrong because 18 to 22 year olds tend to be a fairly unpredictable lot.

0:18.3

And when you're trying to predict how that many of them will finish in order,

0:22.8

it's pretty much a fool's errand.

0:24.1

So yeah, it's going to be wrong.

0:26.3

But we're still going to imagine what it's going to look like if they got it right,

0:34.6

if they were predicting the college football playoff final ranking because it's just fun

0:40.9

to put the teams in a bracket. So we threw them in a bracket. Look at this. You got Penn State

0:47.3

going to Tuscaloosa in round one. You have Michigan going to Austin to play Texas. Now, this is a weird one. This is

0:57.1

interesting because this is something that could happen. Remember, Texas plays at Michigan

1:05.2

in week two this year. In the AP poll, Texas is ranked sixth, Michigan's ranked 11th.

1:12.2

The way it would shake out, well, I'm sorry, Texas is ranked fourth, Michigan is ranked ninth.

1:21.1

They would wind up being the number six and the number 11 seeds in the playoff because of the way the playoff rules work.

1:27.9

And so they'd end up playing each other.

1:29.6

But in Austin this time, and that'd be fun.

1:32.7

You have a rematch of the Byron Hout-Legart Blunt Bowl.

1:38.1

In the 12-5 game, Boise State going to Eugene.

1:41.7

Now, the original Legerat-Bunt- Blunt Byron Hout game took place on the

1:46.6

blue in Boise. It was Chip Kelly's first game as Oregon's head coach and Boise State won it,

1:53.0

but a little fascinating piece of history there, if that's how it wound up shaking out.

1:58.9

And that's the most interesting thing about all this is what does this
