00:00ah college football it is college football and let's discuss teams that can possibly bounce back
00:09in 2026 let's get to the florida gators first john summerall is now the head coach down there
00:18in florida and he's had an interesting career he inherited a troy roster uh when he was there
00:23they were 10 and 13 and uh over the two years previous two years and then he got there they
00:30were 23 and 5 he inherited two lane they won 20 games in the two years with him won an
00:37american
00:37title and at a playoff berth so can florida bounce back this year not in total of his career but
00:44this
00:44year this particular season david yes uh do you happen to have their schedule up of who they
00:51i sure do florida because they won four last year start off with florida atlantic campbell and at
01:00auburn that is their first three games and then they jump into more sec play with ole miss at
01:08missouri south carolina and at texas that's all before their first buy of the season no i don't
01:15think so i don't think not a bounce back now about bounce back what six wins are we talking about
01:20being competitive and like competing they won four games last year so a bounce back maybe a bowl game
01:26okay so six wins yeah i think they can get the six win i do not think that they can
01:31go and be one of
01:32the best teams in the sec they should because they are florida but they've been bad for so long and
01:40just recycling coaches that you know it's it's one of those teams to me it's kind of like lsu where
01:47the fall off happens so quickly and then you got other teams out there that just want to make sure
01:53you stay down so i'm gonna say can they make a bowl game yes competitive and for the college football
02:00playoffs no yeah i would say that i think they could bounce back they could be better than they
02:05were i will say i would think they'd be a little bit better if they still had dj lagway but
02:09obviously
02:09he left to go to baylor so i think the competition they have between i think it's like aaron filo
02:15and trammell jones jr i think it's the guys competing for their job they're unproven you
02:20don't really know what you have at least you know a little bit about what like lagway brought
02:23so i mean i think that might be their only hindrance is who their quarterback is let's move
02:28over to james franklin's new team he is over at virginia tech they went three and nine last year
02:34which is why he's now the head coach there he brought over a quarterback that knows his system
02:40ethan grunger grunkenmeyer not only just the quarterback but he pretty much brought
02:44pence with him he did he did um so let me give you their key games this year their key
02:51games would
02:52be clemson smu and miami and they have them all on the road starting october 24th can they bounce back
02:59is miami game early or late the miami game is late as well that is november 21st so every game
03:05i
03:05mentioned is after october 24th what a reason why i'm asking mr you know miami it's because you
03:11want to know when they were going to lose no no the heat heat factor so if you play in
03:16september
03:16that's a totally different feel than playing in december at all no i think they can now this is one
03:23that i i think that he's going to have virginia tech bouncing back because one i don't believe in
03:27the acc sorry paul um but even if clemson and miami may be the only teams in your way
03:34you get a chance to play them heads up yeah he brought the entire penn state team with him
03:41and i think they're going to take a little bit of a they're going to be able to take a
03:46breath because
03:46that penn state team in the acc will probably dominate yeah we'll see what happens and we'll
03:53see what they look like but they could be seven and oh heading into the clemson game vmi old dominion
04:00at maryland at boston college pitt at california georgia tech that sounds like seven and oh to me
04:06yeah so that's why look paul you know the acc better than me it's not very good and that's not
04:14a slam it's just not very good well no but i mean georgia tech can sneak up on a team
04:19and bite them
04:19they always have that in them every year i do i do think though they are going to be able
04:23to turn
04:23things around and i kind of want to see virginia tech good because when they're good the night games
04:28they enter sandman it's such a great atmosphere even as a miami fan and i hated playing them
04:32back in the early 2000s when they were really good under frank beamer but yeah it would be nice to
04:39see them get good and have that atmosphere mean something again let's get to another school they
04:45were nine and four in 2024 then went three and nine in 2025 colorado buffaloes
04:57yeah is this no
05:01they are in the big 12
05:05sanders fourth year in charge no just no i am so done with that experiment i i don't and i
05:19feel bad
05:20because i really thought dion was going to do something when he first got there
05:25and it's become a clown show so no david i don't see them beating anybody i think they'll continue to
05:32go south and i think dion will probably end up leaving coaching to take care of his health
05:38which he should no i don't see a bounce back let me just give you the schedule go ahead
05:43at georgia tech weber state at northwestern at baylor and then texas tech is at home before their
05:51bye week okay and texas tech and we don't even know who their quarterback was going to be i still
05:58put
05:58money on texas tech he's running that program into the ground and here's the thing if you're north
06:05carolina you really have no excuse because you saw the experiment that happened out there and you're
06:11still going along with bill belichick no david i don't when your quarterback shows up to big 12
06:17media days saying we we really weren't like we we didn't like really scout defenses and things like
06:25that and he wasn't saying it to be angry he wasn't saying it to be malicious this was just a
06:30kid who
06:30just was like defensive practicing the scouting like what film was film we we just went out there
06:38and just played yolo ball that doesn't cut it maybe maybe in the psl but not in the big 12
06:46no they were definitely buoyed by his first class shador travis hunter that really got him off to a
06:52good start at colorado but ever since he's been there trying to recruit trying to get players he
06:56just isn't it's not the same hype that he had going into things yeah so let's move over to one
07:02last
07:02team and this one is a big 10 program they are opening up a new field ryan field they went
07:10four
07:10and eight in 2024 seven and six last year you mentioned yesterday they do have chip kelly as
07:15their new offensive coordinator they bring in aiden child to be their quarterback and half of their
07:21defenses returning from last year so can they bounce back how many wins they had seven no
07:32no as a matter of fact david i think that they take a step back um northwestern yeah yeah i
07:41don't see
07:41that um chip kelly and aiden child is an interesting combination i thought aiden was making some progress
07:49last year i don't think that the coaching staff really helped him out at some times but he was
07:54starting to get a little bit of confidence but i don't know where his confidence is right now
07:58being that you're on your third team and you've kind of taken a step back to go to northwestern
08:04be less eyeballs on you but i don't see northwestern getting to seven wins again i hey that new ryan
08:13field looks nice it's beautiful i wish to god msu would take a page out of that and build the
08:20one
08:20right across the street that thing is nice it's small they realize not a lot of people come to
08:25northwestern so that's not big this big monstrosity but no i don't think that the chip kelly aiden
08:31child's experiment is going to work i like that you were nice and said it's an interesting combination
08:35instead of just saying that it's a bad combination you were being very nice to northwestern there rico
08:39that that's it has disaster written all over it yeah that is fair what he said that is your college
08:46football blitz 97-1
