When I was a young man (I'm now middle-aged), Texas A&M was #6 in the country one year and were led by a linebacker named Dat Nguyen. Their offense didn't show up for the first three quarters against Texas and they fell behind 23-7. Then all of a sudden they stormed back and went ahead 24-23 late... only to have Texas mount a last-ditch drive and kick a field goal on the final play to secure a 26-24 upset win. I look forward to the resumption of the rivalry.

I'm ready for the season to start . It's like we're having the same conversations everyday

If ND goes undefeated and is a 5th seed i think most ND fans will be happy playing the first round in South Bend against the 12th seed. If I understand the playoff technicalities correctly.

Cam Ward is THAT GUY. Best qb in the acc and his oline is gonna make him look even better. Everyone is bought into him and he’s been a leader since day 1. Cristobal sees he’s an alpha and he’s one of the baddest mfs on the team (alongside Kiko)

First What-If: "Forget about Miami winning anything. That's not really what What-Ifs are about. What if Miami wins? I mean if they win, they win." Beautiful. This implies that What-ifs are more specific and are about speculating on fun, potential headlines. Literally the next What-If: "What if Notre Dame goes undefeated" LOL 😂 Not a criticism, just a really funny observation I noticed. You're the best CFB content creator/expert/whatever there is. Keep it up, and the "Year of our Lord" opening each stream does not go unnoticed. God Bless.

The thing with Miami is that having a Qb last year with 14 more tds and 5 less ints. What would they be? Now they have him and a improved roster.

Thank you Josh for reminding everyone how great the Texas vs. Arkansas series is. As a Longhorn who was raised a Razorback, I was born the year Arkansas left and grew up on stories in the glory days in the immediate aftermath. Even though my team lost that year, it brought my great joy to see students who weren’t even alive the last time these two teams played in the same conference, pick up right where their parents left off in the series. I can’t wait for the series to come back!

I mean, it’s fair for ND not to have a bye. Their bye was conference weekend lol. Idk how people get upset about this concept - it is really fair, they’re just choosing which “lump” to take

Saw Cam Ward in person last year when Cougs played Ducks in Autzen, and gotta tell ya he's a solid 'slinger who impressed me with some intriguing intangibles and a handful of nastily accurate big boy throws. Mario is kind of a stubborn meathead coach, but if Miami utilizes Cam's athleticism and unique arm talent, Cam could turn into a 2025 1st rounder. IMO

That texas arkansas a couple years ago was awesome, and I'm glad they're playing more (they go to Ark Nov. 16). I have no knowledge of the old games except when I read about their "game of the century" in 1969, but that stuck with me.

The Longhorns v Aggies game has been on my radar since the announcement of Texas and OU were coming to the SEC

Texas v Texas A&M needs to go back to Thanksgiving evening every year. Egg Bowl in the afternoon, Texas v A&M at night.

Hey Josh, how we feeling about Rutgers recruiting? 6 4 star recruits according to 247. Could Greg Schiano make a new beast in the Big 10?

My son and I both went to A&M. He was there when there was no A&M and tu (tu = that junior college in Austin) rivalry. I was shocked that his generation didn't have the intensity that I had when I was there. You literally weren't allowed to eat pineapple upside down cake until your team had beaten tu. Never clear why that was but I followed the rules. I am so dang happy that it's coming back. A new generation of Aggies can feel the hatred (in a college rivalry way, not any any real way) that I grew up in. It was really fun back in the day.

Cam Ward should absolutely be an All ACC type qb. It's a down year for qbs in the ACC. Really down.

Notre Dame has a bye. It's just earlier. No conference championship game. ND would play the same amount of games as any conference champ

Hey Josh if Notre Dame wins the natty, Do you think there will be people saying Freemen is better than Day and be viewed as a top 5 coach?

Hey josh when are u starting the boldest prediction for 2024?

The cheapest available tickets to the tu at Texas A&M game are around $600...and that's for highest up seats available. Does anyone have context for how this compares to any other regular season game's minimum ticket price this far in advance of the game?
