The transcription is a mix of podcast advertisements and a comprehensive college football preview for the 2026 season. It opens with promos for several podcasts, including *Skyline Drive*, which explores humanity’s obsession with living forever through interviews with scientists and biohackers, and *Hollywood Handbook*, a comedy show featuring industry guests. Other ads promote *Our Town*, about a community resisting a social experiment, and *Burden of Guilt*, a true-crime narrative. The core content is a detailed analysis of three college football teams. Texas is portrayed as a top contender with quarterback Arch Manning, a revamped running back room, and a formidable defensive front, but faces the nation’s toughest schedule, including games against Ohio State and Tennessee. Georgia is praised for its coaching trio and defensive back talent, though questions linger about its wide receivers and pass rush; a 10-2 record is most likely. Indiana, the defending national champion, is expected to stay strong despite losing key players, thanks to a top transfer class and a dominant defensive line, with an 11-1 projection. Each team’s preview includes strengths, weaknesses, breakout players, and schedule challenges, emphasizing the competitive landscape of college football. The tone is analytical and enthusiastic, aimed at sports fans.
I'm Munga Shateekeler and I'm back with a new season of my podcast Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, cormugins, blues owners, super seniors, and go as top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever, and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way. I'd say probably start bone smashing, but that doesn't work. Make you look more defined. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive, how to live forever on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport, and Sean Clements. We host the podcast, Hollywood Handbook. Each week we talk to someone in show business and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, Adam Scott, Danny McBride, Ben Stillert, and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our hometown is not a test tube. 90 miles northeast of Nashville, a battle for the future of America plays out in one small town. Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land. We need cities on a shining hill. This is our town. A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment and fights back. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbilly's now, did you? Listen to our town on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guild season 3 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families. It's a scorched earth war that shows just how far someone will go to get what they want. Cindy said I had to choose between the truth and my family and I had to choose the truth. Listen to season 3 of Burden of Guild on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. At the long last, it's time to do the Texas 2026 team season preview. This is it, man. This is the year. This is what everything's been building towards. We got arch as a returning starter, got a loaded roster, will mush champ just for good measure just to top it off, comes in at defensive coordinator. The only program in the SEC that I would legitimately look at and say if you want to call it championship or bust there, I kind of get it. So the general feeling is that going into 2026 and I think if you were to ask Steve Sarkeesian he may not want it to be championship or bust because that only sets you up for failure, but he'd admit to you, this is what we've built towards. I mean, we talked to him about it multiple times, like this is it, all we could ever ask for. This is it. You're never going to have a perfect team, but this is as close to that as you would get. The fourth best odds to win the national title, archmaning at quarterback has been the biggest name in the sport for quite a while and took, took sort of the, the progression, the trajectory the arc, if you will, that most first year starters do struggle early, get better as the season goes on. He ended up passing for over 3,000, 36 total touchdowns, seven interceptions, did not have a great run game last year and there were protection, protection issues. So both of those things, I can make a strong argument, will be better this year. I could also make the argument arch himself should naturally be better this year. So that's why there's a lot of hype around this team. So some things I think I know about Texas, firstly, the defensive front seven should be really good, could be incredible. Will Must-Champ walked in and have a look around and say, I cannot believe that this is my life, I've prayed for times like these. Look at what you get to work with here. You got Colin Simmons, one of probably the best edge rusher in America, that defensive tackle rotation has experienced. They went and got Rashim Biles, who was one of my favorite players in the transfer portal, brought him in out of pit at linebacker. They'll be elite man against the run. They can get out of the quarterback, they can do everything you need them to do. I also think the running back room got completely revamped and this is really crazy because the top three running backs from last season are just gone, partly by choice. Then they went got Hollywood Smothers and Relic Brown and they were two of the top options at tail back in the portal. A lot of other teams needed help out there in Texas said, yeah, we're taking both. I mean, there should be no issue here. That should be a strength of this team or at the very least, it should be one of the things you can lean on. One thing I think I know that's obvious, but I think people are still trying to fight this a little bit is you're going to be forced to reckon with the camp Coleman factor. You can hide from it a few more weeks, but eventually the season is going to be here. If he stays healthy, that's going to be a breakout star. That's a guy that was at Auburn last year and did what he did and goes to Texas, dropped in probably one of the most inviable positions that anyone at his position can be dropped into, but he has not hit his ceiling and he's in a perfect position to do so and he doesn't have to do it by himself and Ryan Wingo's name is like forgotten and Ryan Wingo himself is a stud, but that's kind of contextualizing the expectation level around Cam Coleman. The things I want to know, easily offensive line, caliber of offensive line plays a thing I want to know. There are returning players here, but that offensive line struggled. There were 90th in rushing last year. They were 60 second in sacks allowed per game. It's great when you have returning production. It's got to get better. I got very few questions about Gooseby at left tackle. This position unit can end up being a strength of this team. It's just progression that has to happen. Really it's no different than a lot of position you need to talk about in college football. Looking forward to watching that, looking forward to defending the pass in a new defense. Peek with Kowski was there for quite a while and he's gone and Will Muschamp comes in and you're walking into a gold mine from a talent perspective, but this was a real weak spot for them at times last year. There were 97th in pass yards per game and especially in that explosive plays given up category, 20 plus pass yards per play allowed. They were 111. They'll be better. I think they'll be better. I don't know how much better, but you cannot convince me with that front that they don't quantumly improve those numbers. So how do those final holes get plugged? I guess is the other thing that I want to know. At tight end, you know, if I'm looking at that, it's been three straight years, one, two, three of NFL quality guys, Gunner Helm, Jubilee Sanders, et cetera. So I don't see that unit as having that kind of player this year, but the secondary is also young. You know, so if I'm looking at tight end, if I'm looking at secondary outside of McDonald and Bo Masco, transfer out of Rutgers, I'm just kind of wondering about those two spots. It's kind of hard to pick holes in Texas, man. You got to use a pretty, pretty fine magnifying glass for this. The best units on this team quarterback, clearly one of them, and that's not just archmaning. If you told me today, archmaning doesn't exist. He's retiring. He quits football. It's KJ Lacey's team. KJ Lacey would be one of the most exciting quarterbacks to watch in the country this year, and you won't see him much if archmaning stays healthy. So, I mean, Diabelle, I could go past him, Lacey, if you want me to. So quarterback clearly, wide receiver, clearly, Cam Coleman, Wingo, you will struggle to ever do better than that one, too, Mose Lee's in there, Ryan Nibblitz in there. They got a lot of good players. The defensive line, I mean, Simmons had 21 sacks in his first two seasons. That's the most ever by a player at Texas. This is a tackle rotation has been talked about a lot in camp. It's really deep. They got a lot of best units on this team. The breakout player is on that defensive line. It's Justice Terry, Byron Murphy is a good comp for him. And I think he'd agree, he plays low wins with leverage. That's a loaded defensive tackle room, and he's probably the cream of the crop there. And also, Jolani McDonald, not a mystery to Texas fans, but just nationally, probably hasn't quite gotten his due yet. I think that really happens this year. He will be an all SEC caliber player this year, Sarkin them talk about him all the time. I just don't think nationally he's gotten as much attention. And then Cam Coleman, again, ditto, ditto, ditto, breakout player, schedule breakdown. This is the toughest schedule in the country to me. So you could have everything lined up, but you still, you got Ohio State coming in there. You go to Tennessee a couple of weeks later. UTSA is not just some lay-ups sitting between them and Oklahoma and Dallas. I mean, I want you to think about just, you got Ohio State at Tennessee versus OU, Florida, Ole Miss. This is all before Halloween. Then after Halloween, you got back-to-back roads at Missouri and at LSU and then at ANM. So three of your final four are on the road. So there's no downtime.
like there's no time for Texas to go get right. They gotta be right now. There's no time to get right during this season. Having said that, if we're gonna look at best case, worst case, most likely, the best case for this team's 12 and 0. Even with that gauntlet of a schedule, the best case for this team's 12 and 0. The worst case, it's kinda weird, but it's only because of the nature of the schedule, so there's gonna be a lot of variance. If you technically were to say, well, what if Texas loses every quote, unquote, loosable game they have? It would be like five and seven, which is weird, but it's only because of this schedule. If they had Notre Dame schedule, it would be nine and three, 10 and two, something like that. So forget about that. What's the most likely? I think according to the model, let me make sure. Yeah, the most likely records 10 and two for Texas this year. 10 and two is a slam dunk for them to be in the playoff. Who knows, maybe in Atlanta? Maybe playing for the SEC Championship, but this is gonna be an incredible year. No matter which way it goes, it'll be incredible one way or the other to watch Texas this year. - I'm Mungus, you together, and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time, I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones, and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about, and what it really means to live forever for all of us. I learned about some rad science. - I can make a brain for you, and then we can test what draw is the best for your brain, as opposed to his brain. - Here's some hard truths. - I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five year acceleration, and get myself into a world of trouble. - I'd say probably start bone smashing. - That doesn't work. - Make you look more defined. - They say it works, I don't know. - Listen to Skyline Drive, how to live forever on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. - Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. - And Sean Clements. - We host the podcast, Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. - Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, aka The Biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time, and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. - We've had a lot of great guests, like Sarah Sherman, not that great. - Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head? How about we flip this around, okay? How, what is the surprise one, man? Actually, you think as the straight man, is actually the one who's acting weird. - Adam Scott, love. - This entire time, you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. - I would never let go of that. - I have, yeah. - I would never set expectations for something like that. - It sounds like if the universe allows for something like that to happen. - I am open to it. - I'm always going to accept, you know. - Danny McBride, fine. - Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking on the hallway to be honest with you. - I was like, I was like, I was like, is that what you need? - Nope, it's fragile masculinity. - Ben stiller, no. - I think there's a lot of times in out of context, people don't get it, or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? Like, you're like, "Oh, it's so stupid." - Uh, everyone's so dumb, it's for you. - And fake. - Right, fake and also not interested, or just like, "Oh, I've got my life. I don't care about your life." - And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. - Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally, he loves the show, and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. - All right, let's do the Georgia team preview. You got Kirby still here, you got Mike Bobo still here, you got Glenn Schumann still here. This is right up there with the best head coach, coordinator Trio's and college football. Oh, by the way, quarterback returns, too. So if you tell me anyone has that, I love it. If you tell me Georgia has that, and then you tell me that this time last year, there was a lot of churn, there was a lot of turnover, and now they got a lot more returning production this year. It's easy to understand why they're favorite to make the playoff, they're favorite in the SEC. They won the SEC last year, by the way. And what I guess classically would be looked at is maybe unexpected down year. It's been all about raising the ceiling here. Like the floor is never gonna be all that low with Georgia under Kirby, it's just, it's felt for a couple of years. Like maybe the ceiling is below national championship potential. It's okay to ask that again this year. You're probably talking about Gunner Stockton, if we talk about quarterback breakdowns here. You're talking about Gunner Stockton and going from a really, really good steady player to a star player, is that in him? Now, Georgia's built to where they should never have to rely on the quarterback to do it all. But overall, what's his ceiling? He went over 250 yards three times across 14 games last year. So is he good enough to go toe to toe? Is he good enough to trade shots? And I don't mean against Kentucky. I mean like if we get against Texas and Atlanta or like Alabama and some of those games, or you go to the playoff and it's Notre Dame or it's Oregon, Ohio State you're on the field with. Is he a star quarterback? Is he a high-end manager? And if he's a high-end manager, are there enough other facets of this team? Like dynamic enough facets they can take over games. So some things I think I know about Georgia that back seven's really, really talented. Linebacker core, Raylen Wilson, Chris Cole, Justin Williams, KJ Bolden in the secondary, Ellis Robinson, Demelo Jones, they're really good. This is really good. I mean this is what they've recruited for. This is what they've developed for them. They added some guys in the portal to sort of finish it off. Don't have a ton of doubt. Don't have a ton of questions here. Another thing I think I know is Kirby saw enough a couple of years ago, a couple of years ago. They were, where is it? 102nd in the country and Rush Yards per game. And he said, well that's enough of that. And so I mean they weren't elite last year, but they went from 102 to 35, which is all you really needed to do. And Gunner Stockton was a part of that. But you got Nate Frazier, Chauncey Bowens, Dwight Phillips, multiple different players with multiple different skill sets against Stockton adds to that. It's fair to expect him to maybe increase that output a little bit more this year. And another thing I think I know is their specialty is winning close games. Day over the past three seasons are 10 and three against SEC teams in games decided by 10 or less. So think about that. Over this era where the super rosters don't exist anymore. You would think a team like Georgia that was getting by on just purely out-affleading everyone would struggle a lot. 'Cause they're not in the real house anymore. Oh boy, once they got to play close games, it's a different story. Well, yeah, they've had to play more close games, but they've largely won them. So it's their real house, man, that's one of their specialties. Now the things I think I know bleed into the things I want to know. And one of the things I want to know, yet again, is we'll pass catching B and Achilles heel for this team. 'Cause I can make an argument. It's one of the lower end wide receiver units they've had in a while. Wide receiver has not been a strength here to begin with, but London Humphreys, fine, love him. Outside of him, I don't know. And I know this time, every year you're reading camp reports and you're listening to intel about what could be. If everything breaks right, so-and-so could be, I kind of want to see it. There's not benefit of doubt on this team at that position. If we were talking linebacker, I'd be okay. If we were talking running back, I'd be okay. Not wide receiver in Georgia. So I wonder, do they have a breakout player there? I wonder about the past rush, too. Bringing in Amarice Williams was supposed to somewhat address this and he got injured in spring. That is a big loss. Chase Lenton is a guy they've counted on. Gabe Harris is going to be a guy they count on. How dynamic is that? Pass catching, pass rush, those two things. How dynamic are those? And what changes in these playoff games? Because they've gotten there the past couple of years, both times coming off buys and they're o and two. So what changes? You know, Ole Miss, that's a tough game last year. Year before, no to name, without short and quarterback. That's tough. Do it, does anything change on that front? Do they make it there? And then does anything change this year? I think DB is the best unit on this team. KJ Bull, Nellis Robinson. Both third year guys, Damello Jones is another top in corner. So they fortified that unit through the portal, too. So easily DB, I also think tight end. It feels like an evergreen statement at Georgia, but you got lost and lucky there. And it feels like that room can just roll out multiple bodies. It's felt that way for a few years. Elias Williams, Jane Rettle. I always say, you notice even when we had the helmets, man, I pronounced that wrong. It's like Redel, I always say Redel. It's a personal weakness, Jesse. It's a personal flaw. It's a question I have about myself. Breakout player on this team. I like Dwight Phillips. So Dwight Phillips, especially with Dante Dowdell going down, he is a guy who really profiles maybe a little bit differently than sort of the between the tackles, ground and pound, classical.
George a prototype tailback, he can get it done there, but he's also a little bit more of a home run hitter maybe. And you got Frazier and Bowen's in there so he doesn't have to do the entire thing himself. Elijah Griffin, former five star in the 2025 cycle, kind of got his feet wet last year, six, four, three, ten, exactly what a Georgia defensive lineman looks like in your mind. That's Elijah Griffin. The trace shields as a wide receiver name. It's been very interesting in fall camp. He was not recruited heavily at all. He's got a flowery branch which is sort of near Atlanta. Film didn't get out, which is weird to say in 2026, but it happened. I mean, no other SEC offers that I know of. And Georgia takes him late. They had a scholarship spot open. They take him, had a roster spot rather open. And he's made some noise and they realize, man, this is an SEC receiver. So we'll see. It's a wide receiver room that has some questions. So we'll see if he works his way in, but at the very least, he's made some noise in fall camp schedule breakdown. It's not the worst murderers row that they've ever faced. And they do get to dip their toe in the watering its Tennessee state, Western Kentucky. They open conference play. Maybe against the worst team in the league, albeit on the road. So that's kind of how you want to enter conference play. But then you got oh, you, you got vand, you got a trip to BAM. Eventually you get into it. But there is no Texas on this schedule, regular season. Not that that's been a problem for them. There's no Texas A&M on there. We got it as the 12th graded schedule in the SEC. So relatively speaking, Georgia catches a little bit of a break here. Also, you got Florida in Atlanta, but they play six teams in the top 20 of the playoff odds. So everything's always relative when you're talking about quote, unquote, workable schedules in the SEC. What does the model think about Georgia? Best case, worst case, most likely. So it fanned all the over under for this team's 10 and a half. It's a ton of respect that they've earned. The best case is 12 and 0. The best case is always 12 and 0 with Georgia. The worst case for them is 7 and 5. And by the model's estimation, really all that is is if all the loosable games go against you, which never happens for Georgia. So it's kind of irrelevant. But technically, if we had to book in it, 12 and 0, 7 and 5, I think that makes the most likely outcome 10 and 2. So a 10 and 2 Georgia is kind of likely to probably in Atlanta, depending on tie breakers and stuff like that for the SEC championship game. But they're in the playoff. I would think they're solidly in the playoff there. So it's just another Georgia team that you can trust to be really, really good. Does that team have great in the folder of possibilities? It's really the only question with them. I'm mungus, you're together. And I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about and what it really means to live forever for all of us. I can make a brain for you and then we can test what draw is the best for your brain as opposed to his brain. Here's some hard truths. I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five year acceleration and get myself into a world of trouble. I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive, how to live forever on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

No, it's fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller, no. I think there's a lot of times out of context, people don't get it, or even know what a circle is. Like, you're like, "I'm just so stupid."

But he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the iHeartRadio app Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Indiana won the national title last year. They're back again this year. Excited to watch it. Excited not to pick against him nearly as much, less than learned on this end. So let's do this team preview. Kurt Signetti, still there. Mike Shanahan, still there. Bryant Haynes, still there. I would grade this as the best head coach, coordinator, trio in college football right now. Everything we say about Indiana now is stunning. That's just another one of the stunning things that we say. The general feel headed into 2026 is everyone's terrified to doubt Indiana. Me included. Sign the number one portal class. So this is not a program that's chocked full of top five recruiting classes stacked on top of each other, but last year's team wasn't a product of a bunch of that any either and look what they did. So you just kind of learned to trust Kurt Signetti's methodology. It wouldn't shock anyone, including me to see them right back where they were last year. But again, there's the psychological piece of going from being the hunter to being the hunted. I just I feel they're so prepared for it. So the quarterback breakdown and it's an important one here. Josh Hoover comes via the transfer portal from TCU to Indiana. Fernando Mendoza was incredible last year. He won the Heisman trophy, but he was specifically incredible and probably underrated with his legs, extending plays, falling forward up to and including the national championship game, but getting tough yards, but also making big plays in big moments. More so than just his stat sheet was what was baked into a stat sheet. So Josh Hoover, it's really interesting. He comes from TCU. They never had better than a top 60 scoring defense. They never had better than a top 70 rushing offense. So yeah, he threw it for a mile per year, but also he had to do a lot and he doesn't bring as much with his legs as Fernando Mendoza had, but I also don't think he has to do quite as much here. And it's really, really, it's a great situation, I guess, to plug yourself in. And it's not like that was a mystery. That's why he came here. So three things I think I know about this team. I think they're set at skill position. And it's not often that you lose a Heisman winning quarterback, top two running backs, top two receivers to the draft, and you still feel pretty great about the weaponry, especially a program that has been like in the fifties in traditional recruiting, but they went and got guys out of the portal that they needed Charlie Becker still there. And they went got Nick Marsh at Miss Michigan state, rather not Mississippi state, Tyler Morris, Chaz Preston. So that offense is going to be explosive again. And they were fourth in the country in 20 plus yard plays last year. Well, they'll probably end up floating around there somewhere again this year. I think the trenches is still a strength of this team. You got four red shirts seniors projected to start with Carter Smith, be one of the best tackles in the country defensive line, probably the best position group on the team. So if you start thinking Indiana will be an easier out this year, man, they are still Indiana on the lines of scrimmage. They're still everything they were last year. Defensive line could be even better this year than it was last year, cause kind of surprisingly late. I got some of those guys back. I also think I know that I said before and I'll say again, I'm struggling to find a better combination of head coach and coordinators than this in the country and keeping those guys in house. It's worth its weight in gold and then some just an incredible, it's an incredible organization. That's just a reflection of it. So the things I want to know, okay, if I can be so bold as to ask some very, very low key questions about Indiana, is the secondary going to drop off? The Angelo Ponds was an incredible player last year and you got Jamari Sharp. He's really good, but that battle for the second corner spot, that's kind of still going on right now as we're talking in August.
It's hard to find weak points on this roster. So I guess kind of by proxy, this would be a question mark. I'm not going to call it a weakness, a question mark. Also just depth questions in general. I want to know if that's an issue. The two deep, especially the backups everywhere outside the defensive line are kind of manned by unproven sophomores. Being unproven in Indiana is not the negative end all be all because they've been unproven their entire existence and now recently it hasn't mattered. But if you're asking questions in August, I think that bears mentioning 13 backup spots are underclassmen here. So there's still some proven pieces, maybe some veteran pieces. It's kind of that thing where as long as everyone's healthy, we're fine. There is a lot of greenery right there beneath the surface that history suggests will be called into action at some point because no one stays healthy throughout an entire year. And it's just a psychological piece of what it's like for any team the year after they do something they've never done before. Copy paste that for Indiana, that's what I want to see this year. Defensive line, I think, is the best unit on this team. They have the ability to completely shut down opposing rushing attacks and they were second in rush yards per game allowed last year. So this is not anything new. It's a familiar theme. They'll just have more of that. And then the unit behind them at linebacker, I think is one of the best in the country too. You got hearty, one of the best linebackers in the country, the other three in rotation are all fifth year seniors. So you got multiple guys who know how to run this defense and could probably green dot if they needed to for Bryant Haynes and wide receiver. Look even with the departing talent, Charlie Becker being there, Nick Marsh coming in. They both have top 10 upside at that position. Not to mention guys that you just kind of know or you think you know will backfill there. Wide receiver could end up being one of the strengths of this team. And on that note, I would circle Nick Marsh as my breakout player because I don't think most people know him. He transferred to or he went to Michigan State and it was Michigan State in the past two years. So it's not really been a whole lot to write home about. But he told a little over 1300 yards. I think he was in like the 600 some odd yard range, each of those two seasons. So he's kind of been consistent in production. It's just the kind of situation where he could I'm not going to call for him to match his career total. I'm not going to call for him to do that. Doesn't shock me at all if Nick Marsh is a thousand yard receiver this year. Does not shock me at all. And the passes are going to be there for him. The schedule break down. The non conference is a joke. It's inexcusable and I'm going to call it out. Not that they care. Outside of that 15th strength of schedule in the big 10. It's workable, but it's not easy because it's all relative. There are two different stretches here that I think define the season three of four games on the road in a stretch of at Rutgers at Nebraska Ohio State at Michigan. That's not easy. The end of the year they got USC and then at Washington back to back and they come home for a rivalry game. I can't see Purdue pushing them, but who knows. But a trip to Washington the second, the last week of the regular season, anything could happen there. So the model here spits out the best case, worst case, and most likely record projections for Indiana. Best case is 12 and 0. Obviously, if everything goes right for this team, we have learned that the best case is 12 and 0. The worst case it paints 8 and 4, which if everything goes wrong and it's a let down year, not to mention injuries or an issue, that's how that would happen. It's got the best case. It's got the worst case and it's got the most likely being 11 and 1. And if Indiana is 11 and 1, they're playing for a big 10 title, I would suppose. And if they're 11 and 1, they're in the playoff and that means everyone's got to deal with this all over again. I'm going to be a lot of fun to watch this team this year.
