See, I need Cristobal's little sound effect that he closes out interviews with Zaz with.

I'm not here to answer questions for you about a mid-tier ACC team.

Instead, I want to redirect you, Mike, on this.

Why is nobody talking about among the gilded class in college football?

Why is nobody taking shots at Bama right now?

I get that the battles between the U and Notre Dame right now and who deserves it more and all of that.

And I ultimately agree with you that the U has the head to head.

So what are we talking about?

Like we talked about, Mike, on Football America last week.

It is crazy that we had to get away from the argument, the poll based argument where all hash was settled on New Year's Day every year and five bowl games, the 10 best teams playing when you put your head on the pillow at the end of the night at the as the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl wrapped up.

You knew nine times out of 10, you were pretty satisfied in understanding.

We all collectively agreed like, yeah, that's the best team in the country.

But we had to get away from that.

That was no good.

So then we had the two-team, then the four-team.

Now we have the 12-team.

We'll ultimately wind up with at least 16.

And we've arrived in the exact same place, which is the conversation.

Forget about the big fancy computer polls and the head-to-head results.

It still has come back to this weird bespoke sort of gilded class encouraged sort of conversation around like, yeah, but you know they're better.
