Litecast: AP Poll Reactions and Realignment Madness

We’re officially in the run up to football season, as the Litecast tackles the release of the first AP Top 25 of the season. Is Iowa State properly ranked at #7? Who else surprised in the rankings? And how did we manage to get petty about the rankings despite the highest number in school history?

After that we finally get down to some details of conference realignment, and try to make sense of Iowa State’s future. Plus, we debate ideal landing spots and things get explicit when we discussed Texas’ & ESPN’s role in everything.

Dylan leads us on our first Nets Minute of the offseason as we review their moves and hit some of the other big storylines including the Bulls actually trying and Dennis Shroeder’s bag fumbling woes. With the preseason underway, Austin is feeling great about Justin Fields and Matt tries to figure out when the Vikings are going to fire Mike Zimmer. Lastly, we unveil a brand new segment, Hottest Take You Wish You Had Last Week, as the guys look back on last week’s sports news.
