Steven_1321 ,

Mailbag!!!

Could we see a day where unequal revenue sharing is used to encourage programs to leave a conference rather than stay? Until now the idea of unequal revenue sharing has been used to keep Texas and Oklahoma in the big 12 and has been brought up as a way to keep Clemson and the noles in the acc. However, I wonder if the big 10 or sec could use unequal revenue sharing to encourage unwanted programs to join other conferences. Thank you, from Steven in Savannah

BYU_Cougs ,

Love this dude

This guy loves the game. Straight up. He’s the best I know of who manages to keep bias out of it (except maybe Iowa state lol) but all jokes aside, seriously a great show for any college football lover, Josh is a great host

AFC31 ,

Good show if you want talk about the top 12

My interest in the show is waning. The takes are well thought out, and the show is great if you are only interested in the top teams in the SEC, Big 10, Clemson and FSU. Perhaps that’s where the ratings are. I have no interest in the so called playoff, and the show is centered on the teams that might qualify. I’ll check in as the season gets closer to see if anything has changed.
