A lot has changed in the college football landscape since Mike and I chatted. Now we're getting closer to the College Football Playoff, and we have a LOT to discuss!!

Who is truly the Heisman front-runner? Does Ashton Jeanty stand a chance against Travis Hunter? Where should Boise State end up in the final rankings? Should they be able to get a first round bye?

Who is a dark horse?! We talk about Georgia and whether or not they can get the job done to finish up the season and why teams should be worried about them if they get into the playoff. Should Penn State be in the playoff and should anybody be concerned about them?

SO MUCH to talk about and we want you to join in on the conversation too!!

Please enjoy this episode (which is brought to you by Nations Best Football)

Kinglsey Osei is the Co-Founder and CEO of Optimum Grading, which is a software that is designed to help improve player evaluations for athletes (specifically football). For coaches, it's been an issue with efficiency and congruency for as long as film study has been around, on how they can evaluate players. With Optimum Grading, it's streamlining the process and making things easier than ever before.

What you'll learn in this interview:

• Kingsley's history with the various organizations he's worked in (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Chicago Bears, University of Illinois)
• What pain points he's seen with the process of player evaluation
• How the software works
• Who can benefit outside of just coaches (parents and players ALL benefit from this)
• The cost of the software
• Is it better for higher levels or does this apply to ALL levels of football?
