AP Top 25 College Football Podcast

College football’s offseason has already included a coaching change at Tennessee and a Power Five commissioner announcing he will step down. The news never really stops. To kickoff the offseason mode at the AP Top 25 College Football Podcast, Andy Staples from The Athletic joins AP’s Ralph Russo. The Volunteers might have a replacement for Jeremy Pruitt by the time you hear this, but what kind of a hole will the next regime need to climb out of?Why did Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott go from being perceived as a visionary to then being thought of as a failure during 11 years in the conference?And, Andy discussed on his podcast a radical rule change that would persuade teams to punt less. Ralph wants to take the radical change one step farther as a way to put more value on defense in this age of offense.
