1. Eyabi Anoma and Non-Conferencestarts at 1:00
Brian thinks Anoma is a multi-year project but could be a useful WDE this year on passing downs. CSU is bad Nevada via the portal. Discussions about who you’d like to see on an ideal non-con schedule. Brian wants ND, Alex wants no one, David is in the middle. Hawaii has no one returning and will likely be horrible. UCONN’s DC quit and that says it all.

2. B1G Eaststarts at 28:40
PSU’s defense loses similar pieces to Michigan, Clifford is back, will the OL ever be better? MSU has more transfers, will the one-score luck run out? Indiana has a new screen-based offense and a rebuilding defense. Maryland has great receivers and Taulia, defense is atrocious… are we scared of them? Rutgers has a QB battle! OSU has a new defensive coordinator, can he fix the scheme, LBs, *and* DTs? Not worth talking about their offense
3. B1G Weststarts at 1:03:45
Iowa’s offense is still despicable. Lose Goodson, lose WRs to Purdue, OL wasn’t great, OC still incompetent. Defense should be great! Nebraska is a team we’re mostly buying, lots of new shiny transfers, AND a special teams coordinator! Alex is buying Illinois long term but they shouldn’t threaten Michigan at all. Wisconsin found a running game, Mertz is still questionable, but defense will be good if the factory is re-stocked. PJ Fleck/Jerry Kill discussion. Tanner Morgan and Mo Ibrahim return, OL/defense needs to be rebuilt for Minnesota. Purdue returns a great QB and TE… we like Jeff Brohm. Northwestern exists. B1G West will be all 8-4 teams.
4. Hot Takes, Predictions, and Final Takes on the Seasonstarts at 1:44:24
Takes so hot it caused Brian to speak in tongues. Predictions on B1G West winner, B1G East winner, Michigan’s record, offensive MVP, defensive MVP, and Who’s Your Dude? Final takes on the season: feels like it’s coming down to a trip to Columbus and Michigan may have re-established tactical parity with OSU.
