We kick off the discussion by breaking down the top choices for College GameDay’s feature matchup. ESPN announced they would visit Charlotte, North Carolina, for a neutral site showdown.
As the team sat down to record this episode the Colorado Buffaloes were still expecting to be in the Pac-12 beyond this upcoming season. That was all out the window just hours later with reports surfacing that the school would join the Big 12 as soon as 2024.
Perhaps the lack of a media deal was the main driving force that sent the Buffs back to the conference they called home from 1996 to 2010.
The main course of this ‘College 12-Pack’ episode revolved around the noteworthy Group of Five teams that could stand out in 2022. The American Athletic Conference has a handful of teams to monitor despite Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF heading to the Big 12. Can Tulane, UTSA, or SMU take advantage of this opportunity?
Two coaches that will take center stage for different reasons are Butch Jones of Arkansas State and Tom Herman of Florida Atlantic. Listen in as the guys discuss 10 different Group of Five programs in this preview episode.
