TRANSCRIPT:

Andrew:                 What’s up, Gator Country? Once again, your man, Andrew Spivey, here with my man, Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, it is now less than two weeks till game time, my good friend. Things are good. Everything is good in the world.

Nick:                         Everything is, and we got the AP, the Associated Press, top 25 poll released on Sunday. Florida is in it. They are behind Georgia, Tennessee, Florida State, but they’re in it. Preseason polls mean nothing, but I’m sure Gator fans are happy to see that Florida at least is in there.

Andrew:                 Of course, I’m going to talk Tennessee. I mean, I wouldn’t be Andrew Spivey if I didn’t talk Tennessee. It was something interesting that I noticed today. The last, I think it was five years, eight teams that have been ranked in the top 25 preseason poll have finished unranked. That gives that. Now, Tennessee’s not going to finish unranked, because, Nick, as you and I have already said, they face some cupcakes at the end of the season, but the hind train is still choo chooing down the railroad tracks with them, and I’m also going to bring up another team, LSU. Just, they haven’t shown me enough to be ranked #5 in the country. I mean, #5 in the country, that’s a big step. Outside of Leonard Fournette, when have they proven to be #5 in the country?

Nick:                         That’s a nasty defense. Guice is a very good running back behind Fournette. Really, they got receivers. The only question is quarterback. It’s a big question, in my mind at least, but I think they’re a top 10 team. If you put a proven guy at quarterback on that team, absolutely. I do think it is a big question. LSU has a very good team. It’s just where is the quarterback? What player are you going to get? I think everyone kind of gets the benefit of the doubt in the off season, but it’s kind of like Georgia. In my opinion, Georgia keeps getting ranked, and I’m wondering where that benefit of the doubt is, because you’ve got a huge question mark at quarterback, and you might even be starting a freshman. I think a lot of people just get the benefit of the doubt in preseason polls. It’s part of the reason I like that the playoff poll doesn’t come out until midway through the year.

Andrew:                 So let me ask you this. Do you agree LSU is #5 in the country? Georgia’s #18 in the country?

Nick:                         I mean, everyone right now in the country has the same record, so maybe.

Andrew:                 That’s not what I’m asking.

Nick:                         Maybe.

Andrew:                 Do you agree with that prediction?

Nick:                         I don’t know about Georgia. I feel fine putting LSU there. We’ll find out quickly with LSU, because they open the season up against Wisconsin at Lambo.

Andrew:                 That’s right. I totally forgot about that. That’s a Labor Day game, right?

Nick:                         I think so.

Andrew:                 That’s what I thought as well.

Nick:                         I also have a little fact about Alabama. Alabama is #1 in the preseason poll. Alabama’s won four national titles in the last seven years, but they were not preseason #
