Is Ohio State really No. 1? Is Andy too high on Alabama? Why does Andy love Kansas State so much?

Andy and Jesse compare Andy’s ranking with Jesse’s conference power rankings, and Andy wants to know why Jesse doesn’t believe in Auburn.

Will either one be ultimately correct? Probably not! But it makes for a delightful debate in June.

Next, On3’s Pate Nakos joins Andy to discuss some of the big issues that could be coming to a head in college sports in the next few weeks. A settlement has been proposed in House v. NCAA that would usher in revenue sharing with athletes, but there are a lot of logistical hurdles.

Andy is on the scene at the ACC meetings in Amelia Island, Fla., and the scene is… weird.

(0:00-3:05) Intro - Live from ACC Spring Meetings!
(3:06-9:41) Kickoff Times Announced
(9:42-23:12) North Carolina, Board of Trustees Update
(23:13-48:40) Florida State Update with Ira Schoffel
(48:41-53:44) NFL vs CFP Games on TV
(53:45-1:02:33) NCAA president speaks on House Settlement
(1:02:34-1:03:09) Conclusion

Two ACC schools (Florida State and Clemson) are suing the conference, and the conference is suing those schools back. And everyone is meeting ahead of a potentially exciting 2024 football season because no one can do anything about the court cases right now.

Meanwhile, the board of trustees at North Carolina made a very public statement that the Tar Heels need to consider membership in another conference. Unlike at Clemson and Florida State, where the president and athletic director were very much on board with the anti-ACC sentiment, the trustees spent part of their meeting Monday criticizing athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who was headed to the meeting in Florida when they met. Cunningham, at least publicly, has been supportive of the ACC.

Also, NCAA president Charlie Baker met with ACC ADs and coaches Monday to brief them on some of the big changes heading their way. The NCAA is negotiating a settlement in a class action lawsuit (House v. NCAA) that likely will change the business model for college sports. And Baker is talking like a person who wants that multi-billion dollar settlement done so the schools can start preparing for the future.

Later, Andy and Ira Schoffel of On3’s Warchant discuss Florida State’s position in the ACC right now as the Seminoles sue the league in Florida and the league sues the Seminoles in North Carolina. Plus, Andy and Ira discuss what Florida State will look like on the football field this year after losing some very important players to the NFL.
