Navy was unprepared and out-physicaled in a 55-3 blowout against BYU. With coach Ken Niumatalolo admitting he didn't have his team prepared, Trey Scott and Chris Hummer think it will mean that this weekend's games — which feature a few cupcake matchups — will be even uglier than we first expected.

The defending national champs are down to five returning starters with the opt-out news of star wideout Ja'Marr Chase and d-tackle Tyler Shelvin over the last few days (things are moving so quickly that Shelvin happened AFTER Trey and Shea Dixon recorded Monday!).

With the release of the 247Sports True Freshman All-American Team, Barton Simmons joins the show to explain the surprising selection at quarterback.

Then Matt breaks do...

Trey and Brandon Marcello have a laugh at the expense of the preseason AP Top 25, which features nine teams who won't play this year. Those teams — and their conferences — won't factor into the CFB Playoff race either, with the Playoff announcing its revised rankings dates Monday as well as its intent to forge ahead. Combine this all with the fact that college football is starting this weekend at...
