And I guess I'm bullish on Toledo going forward, I guess.

we are just gonna, I think with the Mac, give ourselves grace, more grace with the Mac than we will with most of these other conferences, because it is just really hard to pick year to year.

Yeah, Conference USA in the end won by Kennesaw State.

Definitely not on anybody's board over Jacksonville State.

Not really.

This is the one conference last the previous year, but still.

Yes, but there is one wrench.

I don't think you're wrong about that.

There is one wrench in Conference USA going forward that we have to figure out.

Our picks this season, Richard and I both on Western Kentucky, which finished one spot out of the championship game, whatever.

Godfrey, you made what had to be the most reasonable pick of Liberty.

And Liberty went four and eight.

Liberty went four and eight and just had an unmitigated disaster of a season.

Liberty's a private school.

We lack certain visibility into Liberty's money.

And we know a bit about Liberty just because of how the school carries itself.

But my understanding and people's understanding who I've talked to is that Liberty is just way richer than everybody else in Conference USA.

And so they should be better for the most part all of the time.

It doesn't mean you're going to win a league every year, but it's kind of like what Toledo should be in the Mac, except way more pronounced.

And they went four and eight.
