How we start the show with a conversation about "scrotox" is beyond any of us but sure enough that's where things begin this week. But we quickly get down to Greentree and Toast jumps right into the EA College Football 26 rankings for the key players across the roster. And as we really look at the numbers, it's amazing how far off-base some of the EA evaluations are, especially on offense. Plus everyone has a good laugh at the rating of the secondary, especially since Wisconsin is suing Miami over Xavier Lucas who rated out as our sixth best cornerback according to EA.

We also dive into ESPN's ACC rankings, because we are floored that FSU came in at #5 on their preseason list. And we have to take a look at Joel Klatt's list of the teams most likely to make their first College Football Playoff, and how the defense is going to make all the difference on whether Miami gets there or not. Scoop also discusses his theory that Shannon Dawson's best season last year had nothing to do with him, it was all on Cam Ward, which brings us some discomfort about what he'll roll out this season.

The Canes got another big flip, as Mario flipped 4-Star CB Brody Jennings from Michigan... but for some Canes fans that isn't enough. The concern remains that hometown kids from South Florida are committing to other schools and Miami continues to miss out on these big local prospects. Congratulations also goes out to Jai Lucas for putting together a potential Top 20 Basketball class and completely rebuilding the roster.

And with Roman out, Jenners takes to the Wheel of Topics to bring together a round of Five Questions with the topics of the week. That includes Deion Sanders and Bill Belichick being given fake generic names in EA College Football 26, and what fake names we've used or loved in the past. The Kentucky Punter that got a ZERO toughness rating in the game leads us to a question about where we post zero's in our own lives. We also bring in the best audio of the week of an enormous golf fight that went viral this week, followed up with a question about the biggest fight we ever got into. The Florida man who stole a Conch train in Key West leads us to the last thing we stole. And after Scoop's nightmare day, things we do to calm down on terrible days.
