What does this week’s Commissioner’s Poll look like with a fresh set of rankings dropping tonight? Are teams like Miami and Notre Dame still near the top? What about Texas and Alabama along with LSU and South Carolina in the SEC? Are teams like Texas Tech and BYU still in good position? Several head coaches have floated the idea of a G6 Playoff. Would that be a good idea? Josh also fives deep into the early kickoff conundrum angering several fan bases and discusses the most haunted teams of 2026 including Kansas State, Oregon, Penn State, and Mississippi State.
