    Zero game coverage, plus one of the dudes yelling for 17 seconds straight. Seems like an Auburn butt hurt therapy session. Stop the emotions and break down the game.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Michigan Football TRANSFER Portal Recap | Can the Wolverines Win It All?
Q: Which position group are you still worried about walking into this next year?
The front seven on defense is a little tenuous, with some question marks due to the players coming off injuries and some key departures.
Michigan Football TRANSFER Portal Recap | Can the Wolverines Win It All?
Q: Does this have a potential to be a national championship winning roster year one under Kyle Whittingham?
It's a little too early to tell, but given the schedule being what it is, it seems like a tall ask. They could possibly make the playoff if everything goes well, but there are significant challenges ahead.
Did Georgia Do Enough in the TRANSFER PORTAL? | Grading Kirby Smart’s New Roster
Q: How do you view Georgia's roster with regards to the transfer portal?
They've retained a lot of their important players and improved where needed through selective transfer acquisitions.
Alabama Football Transfer Portal INTEL
Q: Out of the transfer portal and who Alabama got, who do you think is going to have the biggest impact for Alabama going into this season?
I think you certainly have to look at who's going to be able to come in and make an impact for you on the offensive front.
Alabama Football Transfer Portal INTEL
Q: What letter grade would you give Alabama's roster right now that the transfer portal has closed?
I'd probably give it a B minus. I mean, I think they've got a great defense, especially the secondary.
