Then, we have some words about Big 12 commish Bob Bowlsby and his claim about depth with Kansas in his own conference. We stand behind the UCF Knights as the 2017 National Champions (32:40). Look no further than to Alabama, who actually has claimed a questionable championship (36:36). A home-and-home between the two teams would be a great way to settle the debate (50:15).

Chas gives us a description of the crowd during the War on I-4 (14:45) and we debate if it was the best rivalry game in Florida this season (20:30). We then preview the AAC Championship game between Memphis and UCF and Joe asks whether the game should be played on a neutral site (25:00). We end the show by going through the position groups for each team and making a case for which one is better (40:30).
