I gotta say as a broke young man I appreciate Josh watching out for us. It's another ramen noodle + spinach night tonight but this show makes the dinner less sucky.

All Deion Sanders has done at Colorado is make every team on their schedule want to beat the s**t out of them. Congrats

“I’m a believer that doing business and having basic respect for humans don’t have to be mutually exclusive” earned a like today 👍🏼

Good job taking it like a man. All is good now. I never bought into it so it didn’t really bother me. But if you’re going to take the credit when you are right, stand up when you’re not right. Kudos! GBO!!!

Josh sign with QuikTrip and get us some gas 🙏

I took a drink of sweet tea every time Josh said "program" and now I have diabetes.

If Josh pulls off gas cards for his viewers… I’m getting emotional thinking about it.

Coach Prime got 72 kids from the portal his first year. His second year he’s only in the forty player range. The number has decreased significantly. There’s only so much talent that can go in the portal every season. He picked those players, but we all know that the real talent doesn’t enter the portal. It takes time to build a roster. And Coaches these days don’t get much time.

Great show! Just started listening in the past few weeks and love listening and learning more about the overall college football landscape. Quick request: Can we get a segmant soon about what you're hearing and thinking about Mississippi State this coming year and what they have in Jeff Lebby at head coach?!?

Yes WV is underrated! Love the shout out

Keep an eye on Boise in the G5, they have a tough out of conference, but killed it in the transfer portal and kept on of the best running backs in college football

Calling Colorado an “experiment” is a classic meemaw shade throwing technique 🫶

It takes a big man to publicly call himself out and accept accountability for a wrong prediction. Virtual most talking heads, in sports, politics, or anything else, won't do this. JP is one of the best in CFB, period.

You’re exactly right! These kids are employees now! They got to take good with bad!

Go Dawgs! Sic Em!

Man there is going to be a lot of schools priced out.

Toward the end of the season I'll be curious to hear how much speculation there is for the top ranked teams to not win their conference championship so that they get a home playoff game. I don't for a second think this will impact how players and coaches approach these games. But at the very least there will be a lot of local businesses rooting for a loss in the conference championship so that they can make bank for that home playoff game.

Bring on the season, however it may fall…👊🏻🏈

UCF reminds me of Utahs ascension

Colorado plays all of top tier teams in the Big12.

Are there tickets available? A raffle at a certain sports store for tornado victims maybe?

Coach Prime is bringing the real world to college football and fans just can’t deal with it. I don’t get why. We all work jobs and have goals we have to meet. Players want to get paid but don’t want to face termination due to poor performance. Cant have this both ways

They end with UU, KU, OSU. Until then they could possibly be undefeated.

I like to listen to what players who made it to NFL say..Everyone i saw said they wish they had a coach who would of told them the truth about playing or not..Seen Hall of Famers say college coaches lied to them and teammates non stop..Lol you think Deion isnt mentally tough and his kids..Deion..Brady..Jordan..Woods etc are built different in any thing they do..99% of population don't think like these dudes..Deion need to win yup..You know who wants to win more than anyone Deion..Time will tell but I've followed Deion to long..I ain't doubting the dude..The outside noise hopefully galvanizes the team..

Deion better at least make a bowl game this season all this talking him and his sons doing

While I agree with Josh the g5 should have its own playoff, he is dangerously close to contradicting his common stance of "hasn't won a title isn't the same as can't win a title"

first thought after 52:40: No, it's "Swing Your Sword!"

Paris, Texas representing!!

WVU had a really easy schedule last year. It wasn’t so much that they overachieved last year as much as they play a tougher schedule this year.

WWE has the intercontinental belt! G5 needs their own championship.

Anything thing less than a 6-6 season should be looked at as a failed season - if you "have a top 5 draft pick qb" and " weapons on both sides of the ball" plus a relatively light schedule as such

Without unionized employees, I don’t see how salary caps are legal, at least under current antitrust law.

It’s going to be hard keeping Colorado morale up when the last game of the season is a buttwhupping.

Well I knew it was coming yet I still feel blindsided by the one thing that was keeping us from having a 2nd pro football league ($ in my mind $) and definitely is gonna ruin CFB as far as my enjoyment I'm not saying it will wholey for everyone!?!?!! The obsession of $$ from every direction nonstop is largely what got me from watching every damn NFL game regardless of teams involved or day of the week all the way to I rarely watch an entire Saints game now. For the better part of 30yrs Sunday Saints games was appointment viewing for me, getting up early to go get donuts or whatever for breakfast to grub on as I'm starting to ice down my beer while firing up the grill and prepping what meats I was desiring to taste that day and maybe what someone else liked too only because I can't watch football with almost no one, especially if their love of it wavered even a tad or they didn't truly know the sport and provided stupid or negative commentary about my team then I would usher them out quickly and emphatically so!!! I could not care less what X player signed for and bonuses maybe included along with their emotional state about the contract leaving them disgruntled by only making $10 million instead of $12 blah blah blah....i don't give a SHIT, I loved the game on the field and everything that entailed not the BS outside the chalk lines and now I will probably rarely watch an entire LSU game if its gonna include that same horse crap!!!! Sux for me I suppose...thx

I'm not even sure where to begin. The G5 getting an auto is not that big of deal. The G5 deserves a bone. Liberty was undefeated and still only ranked 18. The real question is would have Liberty beat FSU, instead they ran into an Oregon squad who should have been playing Georgia. We all saw how both of those games went. There is an inherit bias built into the rankings. The main problem is that all of them can't win. Georgia, Texas, Ole Miss, Missouri, "Bama, LSU (Maybe.), Oklahoma. We're going to have some losing records in there. As much as we want to say a 7-5 Oklahoma is a tough opponent, the record says otherwise.

Next 30 years? We’ll be lucky if things stay the same for 5 years.

Speaking of making bad predictions, Josh hit on OkState to make the CCG at the start of last season, then he got cold feet and withdrew that prediction...then tried to flex his first prediction and acted as if his withdrawal never happened..but we remember

I'm one of those Ohio State fans.... I'm calling for Ryan Day's head if he doesn't win it all. You can call it fringe or irrational all you want, I refuse to live another decade under John Cooper. Which ironically they are the same coach at Ohio State. Both have successful win totals, talent, top rankings, etc... But they ALWAYS seem to lose to Michigan and their bowl games. The rest of the nation may be ok with that but I am not. Coaching at Ohio State or Michigan comes with 3 goals EVERY SINGLE YEAR and if you consistently show that you are inept to do so, then you are subject to being fired. 1. Beat the other 2. Win the big ten 3. Compete for a championship Yes Ryan Day has proven that he can compete for a chip.. And now with the new playoff layout he will most likely always have us in the playoffs...I get it. But... The hc job at Ohio State is more nuanced than that. You look at Ryan Day's overall record and success on a grand scale compared to every other coach and program across the country and think "he's one of the best in the nation". I look at his record against Michigan, why we have lost to them consistently since he took over, and what weaknesses do we have since he's taken control over the program. Culture. Michigan has beaten us the last 3 years with the same product that we've beaten PAC 12 teams in the past with. Run the ball, defense, and control the line of scrimmage. We've had some of the greatest backs in the country for nearly 2 decades and yet the past 5 years, the use of our running game has gone down substantially. WHY? Ohio State has always been predicated on a great front 7 defense that stuffs the run and gets after the QB, yet sacks and run defense has substantially stunk the past 5 years, WHY? Ohio State has had some of the best line men in the country that used to allow our QBs time to create, yet the past 5 years our linemen have been sub par in development. WHY?! CULTURE. Ryan Day has turned a mid west, run heavy, physical, powerhouse into a sling it across the field, soft, air raid, fancy, diva, powerhouse. It's possible to still be a powerhouse but not have the right culture. Ryan Day does not fit the culture of Ohio. He has no ties to Ohio. I don't think he fully embraces the Ohio mentality when it comes to big ten football and beating Michigan. So that's why I can't stand him. But this year is perfect for everyone. Because now there's no more excuses for that man... Didn't have a QB last year? You got plenty now. Couldn't beat Michigan? Jim is gone. Couldn't make the playoffs? There's 12 teams now and you are playing the weakest schedule we've had under your tenure. Couldn't keep talent around to buy into your system? Largest returning talent we've had in a while. Not enough portal talent? You grabbed some of the best talent there is in the country. There's no more excuses. Everything that everybody says Ryan Day needs to do better is in play this season, so don't go changing the goal posts now.... I'm sick of hearing that "he's a great coach and hasn't won yet"... This is the year to prove it. Because as it stands for me, he's a great coach for a different program and not Ohio State. So when he fails to meet expectations again this season, don't make up any excuses. He has everything he needs this year. Dude has the most stacked roster and coaching staff in the country this year, but Josh is really gonna sit there and say anything short of not winning a championship is not a failure, but within the same breath say Ryan Day is still an elite coach LMAO give Kirby Smart exactly what Ryan Day has right now at Ohio State and I guarantee Kirby is beating everyone by 40

Natty or bust for Ohio state!!!!!

Most underrated G5 team next year is TxSt. First bowl win last year and hopefully with Mccloud at QB they have a shot at conference champ

I think everyone is going to see, more than ever, why Michigan has a better foundation than OSU. Michigan's National Championship team all came back for one more year because they loved each other and wanted that national championship so badly. OSU's guys are coming back because of money and the glamor that goes with it. Stark difference and I think we'll see it.

Georgia Tech could have a top 10 offense this year

“You’re good because I’m not in downtown Nashville”. I’ve been saying that for 2 years now. I changed my career to avoid downtown Nashville.

Thank you for speaking about Georgia Tech. The last time I heard a segment about Georgia Tech on your show was in 2018 when they hired Geoff Collins. I discovered your channel because of that segment and have been listening to you religiously ever since. I hope GA Tech will improve so I won’t have to wait another 6 years for a segment on the Ramblin’ Wreck. Keep up the good work. THWG!

The culture of Colorado is to create a team full of pro level talent. If they can get those guys to come together they will be a tough team. They better be hungry for more than attention this year.

Whew thank goodness the gas stations war is coming to an end. I appreciate the need for the ads but basically running an ad that you are going to be running an ad is OLD quick.

SUNGLASSES HAS PROBLEMS.

Not sure why the possibility of playing a team 3 times in a season is a hang up. It happens all the time in the nfl.

Deion is trying harder than any other previous pro player to get his kids in the NFL. They aren’t bad but they are not top 300 players without their famous father. That’s a good dad.

Is Racetrac not a thing???

Josh I think I have you by a few years,just turned 49,you were mentioning has Georgia got in place to be that SEC team that will be dominate every year,like Saban was,and as Spurrier was winning the SEC title the majority of a decade,you need to get the archived Florida/Georgia games from 1990 to 2000,and watch every game,it's good for the soul,anyway, I one who was in the Camp of keeping Mullins and hiring him the Best DC and RC in the game,but I do like Billy and think he might have learned a ton about football over the last couple years,Lord knows I learned way more from failures,than success,and if he were to be like Spurrier in his Success and knack for winning vs UGA it's just a way better world for college football,and just the way good Christians want the good vs evil to happen!Anyway from 90 to 2000 is wonderful to watch over and over,that Gator football

Would have liked to hear the explanation for why Josh was mislead.

first time pate references pitt almost all "offseason" and its him hating on them...sad to see

I appreciate that Josh owns his mistakes. Though I do wonder if Michigan State fans feel gutted or not by this portal window.

Champions are able to win games multiple ways throughout the year. I have yet to see a Ryan Day team win games with production, win games with grit and win games with defensive efforts all throughout the entire year. Don't mention special teams under Ryan Day. 🤣

Thanks Josh, UCF will hang another banner for this.

GO DAWGS from York SC

Exclamate? 🤣

Colorado is a public school and not a private business....

JP hits us with Georgia Tech’s schedule being “stiff” but doesn’t call immunity? He’s gone soft on us…immunity.

Glad you were across the river from Morgan Wallen so that you didn't have to dodge flying objects

Underrated go5 team has to be utsa

I guess Bama, Ohio St Texas A&M, Florida St, Clemson, etc don’t have a program either. Prime the only coach using the portal everybodyyy else don’t “mercenary a team” 😂😂

Do you still think Bama is going to ‘make big moves’ in the transfer portal?

I can't keep up with all this transfer portal nonsense. Go back to the old way where if you wana transfer you have to sit out a year

Eww, that water didn't look very clean...

Dude how can you say we are “ not a program” That’s a insult. It’s the transfer era, every team has more players coming and going than ever before. We are going into our second year, What was coach Prime suppose to do , get a team of freshman last year and struggle for 2, 3, 4 or 5 years. Furthermore there are plenty of teams that would had a similar record if they played CU schedule. Last year was year one for a coach taking over a 1-11 team who has one winning record in 15 years or so. You also predict that while CU has “better talent”than many of their Big 12 opponents they will struggle next year because “we are not a program, we are an experiment” - really. I thought you knew a lot about college football which for better or worse has everything to do with talent just as much if not more than culture - which we a building. Love it or hate it, CU is leading the way in the new transfer NIL era. We are selling exposure and development of players who want to go to the NFL. it’s just honest and the way it is / especially with only one year under our belts. We have some of the best players in all of college football. The only accurate thing you said was that “ the proof will be displayed on Saturdays on the filed” I like our chances ! Deon is so popular and polarizing that he gets far more crticism than other coaches. And btw, how about some props for a coach that cares about academics and has revived a once dominant program from the basement of CF OVER NIGHT. See you on Saturdays - GO BUFFS!!!!! GO PRIME!!!!

. . .we will rebuild. Noice!

Hey Josh! I’m one of those Buckeye fans who want day gone if we don’t beat the❌ this year. We like to say we’d rather go 1-11 than 11-1 and some of us mean it. I mean it. I’d rather drop a few games with an “inferior” coach as long as he can go undefeated against ttun. Shoot 50/50 would be better than 1-4 if that’s what Day goes out with

Id like to see ucf win the Big12

Michigan State did get totally gutted. Live by the portal, die by the portal...

Josh why didn’t u mention the author was bias being a Nebraska alumni? 🤦‍♂️

Don’t sleep on Cookman August 31st Josh, might be coming back to this comment September 1st

If Josh lived in Columbus, Ohio he would understand Ohio State Fans Expectations… Ryan took over a program that beat Michigan every year and he turned it into a program that loses to Michigan every year. The majority of Ohio State Fans are tired of Ryan losing to teams that have nary a five star on their roster. All the while his roster adds three, five stars a year. And ohya, Ryan only had four players drafted. I could go on ad nauseum with his under achievements.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You said what you expected to happen with TP, and that it didn't, but you didn't explain why you were wrong. What did you see earlier? Why didn't it materialize? What were the contributing factors? What did you learn that we can learn too? Inquiring minds want to know Josh!

Go blue collar ppl

How is FSU and Clemson more favored to win a championship than Miami... We legit beat Clemson with a true freshman backup qb

That was a very respectful undressing of Deion.

What?? Colorado had the opportunity to make a bowl game late in 2023. Colorado now has some of the best players that were on some of these BIG12 teams. They will make a bowl game next year. The BIG12 is a coin flip. No body can say at this point we are the best in the conference....

doesnt need to be a segment but josh can you ask fanduel for a hypothetical line on north dakota state vs colorado?

Oh my god please we need a salary cap so badly. THEYRE EMPLOYEES pay them and set contracts

People can say whatever they want! Ryan Day is not Mike Tomlin! I’m a Ryan Day fan until he shows me I’m not O-H

Only Deion Sanders and Colorado would be pissed off about receiving criticism for going 1-7 in conference play. Edit: Deion can keep jawing, and just remember that he still hasnt beaten an FBS opponent with a winning record. Plenty of first year coaches have done that with less. Northwestern was also 1-11 in 2022. But David Braun built a culture. 8-5 was the result. 2021 Tennessee lost like 35 players to the portal after a 3-7 season, but Josh Heupel built a culture and the team went 7-6 with wins against ranked teams, and won an Orange Bowl within 2. That doesn't just happen. Its development, something that, according to a lot of Colorado transfers, CU didn't have last year.

Why,is this segment horrible, Florida got a guy that may be able to chemistry,and end up being a good pick up,couple here and there UF will be alright on this pick up

Can I get a pate state scholarship?😂

Relegation & Promotion would fix the G5 issue. Top tier of G5 >> bottom of Power 4.

Josh doesn’t know if this will work or not. I am off the belief it will work. The issue of the writer was he didn’t lay his cards on the table. He is Nebraska card and this happens at other institutions why didn’t he cover that

Don’t have a problem with conference champs getting a automatic bid just like NFL when a 7-9 division champion gets in over a 11-5 team that doesn’t

If Ohio St. played Michigan three times or Georgia played Alabama three times during this new 12 team format I think it would be great for the game!! No issues at 22:11 all here

Censorship is non American, Josh. Muting people for using adult language when appropriate is horse hockey. Not what I wanted to say but want to make sure people see this post. You just lost a viewer

Deion and Shadeur hating on a kid that had to leave their program is pretty childish.

Guys I love Deion, but looking at that schedule...there is 2 wins, maybe they surprise a couple teams? Looking at it today, I would bet 4 wins or less....AT BEST!

first comment? Nice

Go Irish!

Watch Uncle Lou funny Colorado content😂😂😂

Please, please north Dakota pull the upset, the nation is behind you

Deion only cares about/promotes Deion.

I like deion as a player in the nfl,however hes completely un interested in respecting,developing and training anyone whos not a 1st to 3rd draft pick day 1 on his roster. Hell if you are a starter hes trying to replace you. If you don't start hes sending legal representation to meet with you for an exit meeting. The whole relationship is transactional and superficial. If the man isnt playing you for anytime you stand in a room with him it would just be a waste of time.
