00:00When we take a look at, I mean, I realize we all know how close college football season
00:20is, but whenever I see the AP top 25, even if the absurdity of the poll being released
00:24already, it feels like it's getting to football season.
00:28We talked about it yesterday of the day before, I guess probably yesterday, Georgia, Ohio
00:33state, Oregon, Texas, and Alabama are the top five.
00:38Was there any team in the top 25 or I guess not in the top 25 that you're like, I don't
00:43really get that either overrated or underrated.
00:47I was a little surprised.
00:48No group of five teams snuck in.
00:50Usually you see them around, you know, 23, 24, 25, like Boise state Memphis.
00:55There's a couple of teams, maybe South Florida could have snuck in there, but they were all
00:59in the, the teams right underneath the receiving votes, but not ranked.
01:04And then I guess maybe it's like a surprise, but not a surprise.
01:08Washington finished number two in the AP poll last year.
01:11They were the national runner up.
01:12They're unranked in this preseason poll.
01:14That's the first time since the fifties that the national runner up last year is not ranked
01:19in this poll.
01:20Man.
01:21I mean, I know because they lost their head coach.
01:23They lost the talent.
01:25It is a completely different team.
01:27And like, we can talk about how Michigan lost a lot of talent, the national champions, what
01:31Washington's going through is that times two, they're going to look completely foreign than
01:35what they were last year.
01:36And even Michigan can still say, Hey, we're at number nine.
01:40So good for us to start.
