The Big Ten is back with a vengeance, and B&B have all the analysis you need. OSU was a heavy favorite going into the season, but with Justin Fields already looking better than he did last year, the Buckeyes are even more secure at #1. Penn State and Michigan flip-flop in the Big Ten East, while the Big Ten West seems to be a big question mark with some solid if unspectacular teams. After the break, the guys take a listener question about Wide Receiver bus drivers, then hit the no-huddle for some SEC, ACC, and Big 12 action.

It's Barton and Bud's first reaction episode together and there's a lot to unpack. Kyren Williams is the best Notre Dame running back since ____? And is he enough to make up for Ian Book's inability to lift their team?

The season's here, and that means Barton and Bud are pushing to two episodes a week. Jamie Newman opted out earlier this week, and that makes the guys less comfortable with Georgia's outlook, so they play a quick game of "how many points will Georgia need to win each of their games?" Then they dive into the middle of the Big 12. Every team in the Big 12 has questions, so the question is whose upside speaks most to you, and whose downside is too low for comfort.

You guys did it. 500 ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts means another mailbag. This time the questions are very philosophical. Who is the big winner in post-COVID recruiting? If all goes well, SEC/ACC/Big 12 schools that play in the fall can tell recruits they care about football more than the Big Ten and Pac 12, but if things go poorly, Big Ten and Pac 12 schools can tell parents they will protect their children. Plus, comparing Sean Clifford and Ian Book, Georgia is Georgia because it is in Georgia, will Dabo ever bring a transfer to Clemson and a whole lot more.
