| 0:00.0 | Looking at this is one of those rivalry games that I know I was told much about when I first got here. |
| 0:05.5 | So it's going to be, again, a great environment, a lot of pride, you know, both for our program and theirs as well. |
| 0:16.0 | Hello and welcome in. It's always college football. I'm your host Craig McElroy. We are so happy to have you here with us today. A little bit of a tweak in the schedule. We have for a while now. |
| 0:27.3 | We've done our top 25 shows. Those are released on Tuesdays. And then we release our preview show on |
| 0:35.3 | Wednesdays. Well, now we've got to change things up a little bit because the top 25 from the college football playoff committee will come out on Tuesday nights, which means, well, what are we going to put out on Tuesday mornings? |
| 0:47.6 | Well, guess what? |
| 0:48.7 | That's our preview show. |
| 0:50.5 | The one that used to come out 24 hours later, we're now doing that show on a Monday. |
| 0:55.5 | We're going to tape it. Then we're going to have it out ready for you on a Tuesday morning. |
| 1:00.4 | We understand that there's a lot of time between Tuesdays and Saturdays and when these games |

| 1:22.6 | but also some of these conference races as well. |
| 1:25.7 | A ton of great games this weekend that we need to get to because here in November is where we start to separate the men from the boys. We're going to find out this weekend because I can promise you, just looking at the schedule, I'm thinking this is going to be a chaos week. Just get ready. I'm just feeling it going through some of these matchups, strengths and weaknesses of some of these |
| 1:44.5 | teams. We're going to have some upsets this week. And teams that you didn't expect to be on the losing |
| 1:50.0 | end, they're going to find themselves there with some of the matchups that we have coming up here |
| 1:54.5 | in the next few days. Before we get into those previews, I kindly ask you to just go ahead and |
| 2:00.0 | subscribe to the podcast. |

| 2:07.3 | to do. And if you're here with us via the ESPN Cultural Play YouTube page, hit that thumbs |
