00:00Oh, that means one thing. Rico's favorite.
00:04College football. Not necessarily my favorite anymore, because they're kind of screwing things up.
00:10But, as Jeremy just said, the college football preseason top 25 poll is out.
00:18And gentlemen, nothing is more useless than the college preseason top 25 poll.
00:25Oh, here's why I say it's useless. Because on average, do you know how many teams start in the top
00:3325 who do not make it at the end of the season?
00:37At least 10 teams. Wow. Are not there. Ten.
00:40So, a little under half the teams start off in the top 25 and will fall out of the polls
00:47for good.
00:48And at the end of the year, it looks totally different.
00:52Do you want me to read the top 25? No, no, no. Here's what we're going to do.
00:56I'm going to read the top 25.
00:58You and Corbin are going to tell me whether this team will be in the final top 25 poll at
01:06the end of the year.
01:07So, we're going to speculate. But remember, you only have 10 teams that you could say they will not be
01:13there.
01:13So, use them sparingly.
01:15But let's start off at number 25, the Missouri Tigers.
01:23This is a disgusting start. I can't lie. I like this.
01:26I did not look at their schedule. I looked at some of the others.
01:32I'm going to say no.
01:36I will say yes.
01:38All right. We got a yes and a no.
01:42I'm going to make this easy for you guys.
01:44We'll get to the hard part later.
01:47Let's go with a number one, the Ohio State.
01:50Yes.
01:51Yes.
01:51I think that's a safe bet.
01:53May even win a national title.
01:55Then again, they may not.
01:56The Oregon Ducks at number two.
01:59Yes.
01:59Yes.
02:00The Georgia Bulldogs at number three.
02:04Yes.
02:05Yes.
02:07The Texas Longhorns at number four.
02:10Yes.
02:11Yes.
02:13South Bend's one and only Notre Dame at number five.
02:17Yes.
02:19Ooh.
02:20Yeah.
02:21I'll admit, I had to think a little bit about this, but I'll say yes, it's Notre Dame.
02:25Top 25, yes.
02:26How about the defending national champion, Indiana Hoosiers at number six?
02:33Yes.
02:34I'm going to know.
02:36Eventually, we got to start getting to some no's there.
02:38I think.
02:40One hit wonders?
02:41Yeah.
02:41Well, listen here.
02:43In the new day and age of college football, they'll be around.
02:45Don't get it twisted.
02:46But in terms of what they did last year, I would agree with that sentiment.
02:49One hit wonders.
02:50They're not in the top 25 at the end of this season.
02:52Okay.
02:53We got our first no.
02:57At number seven, Paul Serrazone, the Miami Hurricanes.
03:02Yes.
03:05Well, back to back no's.
03:06Why not?
03:07I don't think the two teams in the national title game are going to be in the top 25.
03:11Wow.
03:12Why is that?
03:15Something about Miami, I didn't expect them to get that as far as they did last year.
03:19They're just kind of always a school that are usually appealing on paper.
03:23You love the U, but then once you watch it, you're like, oh, I'm watching the game on the
03:27CW 50 network.
03:28I completely forgot.
03:31Corbin's already used three no's.
03:33Stoney?
03:34No, I only got two.
03:35Oh, Stoney didn't know from Missouri.
03:36Okay.
03:38Number eight, Texas A&M.
03:42Yes.
03:43They're the biggest teases of all time, but I'm going to say yes.
03:46Okay.
03:48At number nine, and you'll see them at the big house week two, the Oklahoma Sooners.
03:57SEC, Mateer, he's pretty good.
03:59I keep forgetting, yeah, they are SEC now.
04:02I was about to say, no, they're big 12.
04:03No, SEC.
04:04Yes, they'll make it.
04:07They'll be very, I'll put, I'll say yes, but they're like 23 to 25.
04:12So they're going to fall.
04:14Yes, most definitely.
04:17All right.
04:17At number 10, Ole Miss minus Lane Kiffin.
04:21I know.
04:23I'm going to say yes.
04:27I'm going to say no.
04:28They got some, they got some interesting games on their schedule.
04:32And like you said, without Lane Kiffin.
04:34Yeah, no.
04:37Here's, this name is funny because this always was an automatic in the top two or three every
04:45single year.
04:46At number 11, the Alabama Crimson tie.
04:51It still feels weird to say that.
04:53Yeah, but I mean, because it's 25, I mean, they could finish 24th.
04:57So I'm going to say yes.
04:59Okay, Stoney.
05:00Stoney's got a lot of no's.
05:02Basically, Stoney's going to be like, yeah, from 16 on, it's just got to be all no's.
05:06That's why I'm happy I started getting some no's out of the way.
05:08But Alabama, yes, they will be.
05:10But just like, who was it?
05:11I said, Oklahoma, they will fall.
05:13So you don't believe in the tide?
05:16It's hard to these days.
05:17It's like you said, it feels weird to say it, but that's just the truth we live in now.
05:22At number 12, Texas Tech.
05:24Big 12 blows, but they're the best of the Big 12, so I'll say yes.
05:29Yeah, they'll be in it.
05:32At number 13, we said his name earlier, Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers.
05:39I'm going to say no.
05:40Okay, Stoney's first no.
05:42I just have a feeling that people are going to be so excited about them and they're going
05:47to lose some games, including Ole Miss.
05:52Yeah, they got some pretty interesting matchups on their schedule.
05:56I'm looking at it right now.
05:57And LSU has been that team post their national title with Joe Burrow.
06:02You just can't really trust them.
06:03So I've got to get a no win again.
06:05So yeah, LSU, they're out.
06:07Okay.
06:08You got a lot of no's, buddy.
06:10I got four as of right now.
06:11Okay.
06:13Big 10 school at number 14, fight on USC Trojans.
06:19Yeah, they'll get in.
06:22I mean, Lincoln Riley, if they don't make it this year.
06:25Top 25, they're going to stay in.
06:27Yeah, they'll stay in.
06:29Hell no.
06:30It's USC.
06:30It's Lincoln Riley.
06:32This experiment has been over for a long time.
06:34They're still milking the bit.
06:35I got to go, no.
06:38At number 15, BYU, Brigham Young.
06:41Well, as my father always says, if you're going to Brigham Young, 15, they're ranked.
06:49I'll say they're in.
06:51Mormon power.
06:53Yeah, I got some personal biases against this school in the negative aspect.
06:57But unfortunately, with the conference they play in, I'll go BYU's in.
07:03Okay, Stoney, we're getting close to everything else.
07:06You're going to run the table on no's.
07:08Will your first no start at number 16?
07:12It's not my first.
07:13I have Missouri.
07:14I mean, your second no.
07:15And I had no.
07:15I also had LSU's at no.
07:17So I'm going backwards.
07:19Oh, okay.
07:20Okay.
07:21The Michigan Wolverines, number 16.
07:25Because of their schedule, they got to play Oklahoma, Indiana, Oregon, and Ohio State on the road.
07:37Well, how they won nine games with Sharon Morris, coach, last year.
07:41And I'm going to say no.
07:45Season ticket holder, Stoney.
07:47I always underestimate them.
07:49That's just the way I am.
07:49This one's extremely hard.
07:51I will only say no for the sole reason that two of their last three games are against Oregon and
07:57Ohio State,
07:58who are clearly the class of the Big Ten as of right now.
08:00Okay, just for the record, I didn't have a vote in this.
08:02Michigan got two no's, but somehow people are going to come after me.
08:06No, they won't.
08:07All right.
08:09Penn State, Penn State, not led by Dan Campbell, but Matt Campbell.
08:15Their schedule is so weak, I'm going to say yes.
08:19Yeah, I'm going to agree with Stoney on that.
08:21I'm looking at their schedule right now for the first time in a long time.
08:24I think their hardest game, it might be what, Michigan and USC, I believe they play?
08:27Correct, yeah.
08:28And those are all back.
08:29Those are back-to-back in October.
08:31Yeah.
08:31And they're better off without James Franklin.
08:34Okay.
08:35Number 18, the University of Tennessee.
08:38No.
08:39Here's their schedule.
08:40They play at Georgia Tech, which they'll probably win, but it's still, maybe they won't.
08:45I don't know.
08:45It's a tough game.
08:46They have Texas, Auburn, Alabama.
08:48Granted, they're at home at A&M and LSU.
08:50That schedule is daunting.
08:52I think they're fraudulent.
08:54No vols.
08:55He said everything for me.
08:57Another no.
08:58At number 19, UW, the University of Washington.
09:03I mean, DeMond Williams is really good, but does he really want to be there?
09:07There's so much crap going on there.
09:09I'm going to say...
09:10Did the check clear?
09:11Then he wants to be there.
09:12Yeah, I know.
09:13I'm going to say no.
09:14Okay.
09:15Here comes the run of no's for Stoney.
09:18So, I have three spots for no's left.
09:21I want to put Washington in.
09:24You got three left.
09:25There is one that I'm saving for the end.
09:27So, yeah, I'll go no for Washington because I did bash them, I'm pretty sure, last week on the show.
09:32You sure about that?
09:33Okay.
09:33Yeah, I got to die with it.
09:35At 20, SMU.
09:37Here's my problem with this.
09:40There's only three teams from the ACC that made the top 25.
09:44So, you got to think at least two of them are going to be, and I already have Miami as
09:48in.
09:49So, I'm going to say SMU is...
09:51You're not really.
09:52You can only have one in.
09:54That's possible.
09:54I know.
09:55SMU, yes.
09:56I just looked at their schedule.
09:58In my personal opinion, I think it's pretty easy to where you can conjure up wins to be in the
10:02top 25 at the end.
10:03So, I'll go yes.
10:06Utah, 21.
10:07No, they lost their coach and they lost their best defensive lineman.
10:12I'm going to say no.
10:13Once again, Stoney's saying it all for me.
10:14I'm going to go no with Utah.
10:15All right.
10:17I think this is...
10:18You only have one no left?
10:19Yeah, and I already have my mind made up for it.
10:21Three teams.
10:22At number 22, the University of Iowa.
10:26Yes.
10:28Their schedules...
10:29You know, they play Michigan, Ohio State, and Washington as their three tough games.
10:35I'm going to say yes.
10:3923, University of Clemson.
10:41No!
10:43Dabo.
10:44No!
10:44Yeah, hell no!
10:45No!
10:45Dabo, it's over.
10:46He's just going to keep running down that hill.
10:48No, it's over.
10:49It is more than over.
10:50Hell no.
10:5224, University of Houston.
10:55You have to say yes.
10:57Yeah, everyone else was yes for me.
10:58I'm going to say yes!
11:01Okay.
11:04Stoney, did you get all your no's in?
11:05I don't know.
11:06I didn't keep...
11:06I probably had about six or seven.
11:08I don't know if I had ten, but...
11:09All right, real quick, guys.
11:10And the last one is Missouri, but we...
11:12We said that already.
11:13So, Stoney, you said...
11:14No.
11:15And you said yes.
11:16Correct, yes.
11:16All right.
11:18Is there a team that you think should be in the top 25 that's not?
11:23Oh, that's a great question.
11:27I'm just going to say I don't know for...
11:29To circle back, you said, you know, the preseason pull, it's pointless.
11:32So I just don't...
11:32I guess we'll see.
11:33And I guess, guys, the most overrated team in here.
11:40The most overrated team?
11:42The overrated team that you said no to.
11:43I don't even know if I said no to, but I think Mississippi's not a top 10 team.
11:49Ole Miss, yeah.
11:50Yeah, I think 10 is way too generous for them.
11:53I got to go with my first no, unfortunately.
11:55Indiana?
11:56Indiana.
11:56Okay, okay.
11:58All right.
11:59There's your college football preseason top 25.
12:04Blitz 97-1.
