Will this look anything like the final poll? Of course not. Is it fun to talk about now? Absolutely. (0:00-13:25) Arizona president Robert Robbins explained his reasons for the Wildcats leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 12. Among them, he equated needing to sell Apple TV premium subscriptions to "selling candy bars for Little League." (13:26-21:07) In this week's Dear Andy, you asked some great questions: Do the coaching defections from Notre Dame mean Marcus Freeman has a problem on his hands? (21:08-26:00) Florida State is dealing with a possible private equity to raise funds, what does this mean? (26:01-30:12) Will Texas or Oklahoma win a national title first? (30:13-37:00) What is the future of the Pac 12 and what will the 4 remaining schools do? (37:01-45:15) Could the biggest brands in the sport all go independent? (45:16-51:56) What Week 1 winner and which national title winner will create the most havoc? (51:57-57:36) For today's Extra Point, Andy pays tribute to the coaches' poll by revealing his Random Ranking of the top five 80s cartoon theme songs. (57:37-1:05:26)

0:00.0	Welcome to Andy Staples on three.
0:13.3	It's a big day.
0:14.4	It's one of those benchmark days as we move toward a new college football season.
0:19.9	The coach's poll has been released. That's right.
0:23.6	Sports information directors and observations directors across the country have filed votes in
0:29.2	their head coach boss's name. And we get to argue about it. Now, I think as we hurdle toward a 12-team playoff,
0:39.0	we're probably almost done with the silly arguments about how
0:42.9	you shouldn't release a poll until October, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
0:46.1	First of all, the only poll it counts,
0:47.8	the college football playoff rankings aren't released until October.
0:52.2	And as we can tell, this poll doesn't affect anything.
0:59.5	You know, I went back and looked at last years.

1:46.1	week zero coming up. But we still have a couple tough weeks to get through, a two and a half
1:52.1	tough weeks to get through before we are just a wash in real games. So let's enjoy this. Let's enjoy this and let's see what it means.
