Summary

“Stanford Steve” Coughlin of ESPN’s College GameDay joins Andy to talk win totals. But first, we’ve got a preseason poll! The first coaches poll is out. Georgia is No. 1, Ohio State is No. 2, and everyone disagrees with pretty much every other team’s placement. Now seems like a good time for Andy’s annual rant about why we have preseason polls and why they’re never going away. Monday also brought bad news out of South Bend. Notre Dame left tackle Charles Jagusah tore his right pec muscle at practice during the weekend and will have to miss the season. That’s a massive blow, because the Fighting Irish had chosen Jagusah to replace first-round draft pick Joe Alt, and the redshirt freshman seemed on the verge of a breakout season. Next, it’s time for win totals with Stanford Steve. We had so many to talk about that we broke the conversation into two parts. (Part two will be on Wednesday’s show.) Today, Andy and Steve discuss… Notre Dame (10.5 wins) Miami (9.5 wins) Florida (4.5 wins) Indiana (5.5 wins) USC (7.5 wins) Oklahoma (7.5 wins) We wrap up with what the College Football Playoff would look like if it was reflective to the Pre-Season Coaches Poll Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube and join us LIVE, M-F at 8 am et! https://youtube.com/live/eaLLIn9T3zY Host: Andy Staples Guest: "Stanford" Steve Coughlin Producer: River Bailey

0:25.1	number five. It goes on from there. But we have a poll, which means football is close.
0:33.0	What does the poll mean? Not much. Everybody's just guessing.
0:40.2	It's probably time for me to do my annual why we have preseason polls rant because I know there are some of you probably thinking,
0:45.3	wait, why do we have these anymore? There's a 12 team playoff. We don't need them. We never needed
0:50.8	them. Never needed them.
1:00.3	The human mind craves things to be put in some sort of order.
1:07.1	So if USA Today didn't contact a bunch of coaches and have them vote and the Associated Press didn't contract a bunch of reporters and have them vote, everybody would still put out their own preseason poll because you enjoy reading them
1:13.9	and you enjoy arguing about them.
1:16.2	And that is what we're going to do right now because I think the coach has got a couple
1:20.1	things wrong.
1:23.9	I think that Georgia number one.
1:25.2	I accept that.
1:26.0	I respect that.

1:34.0	I see a bunch of players who should be in the NFL right now who came back for another year, specifically on defense.
