Gilber Edmond's transfer from South Carolina to Florida State and back does make "a helluva statement" about South Carolina's program but it doesn't say what Shane Beamer thinks it says. Imagine celebrating getting back with your ex after she cheated on you all over town.

On this episode of The D1Baseball Podcast, Mike Rooney, Kendall Rogers and Aaron Fitt reflect on another outstanding ABCA convention. They also highlight three of the recently released Top 25 transfer classes. The podcast wraps up with nine freshmen to watch in 2024.

Clemson will do its own thing in regards to conference realignment but he would be surprised if Clemson and Florida State are not sharing notes (with respect to the Seminoles attempt to exit the ACC via lawsuit) Clemson director of broadcasting Don Munson told Offsides today.

Courts have ruled on behalf of student athletes vs the NCAA - will they rule the same way on behalf of a school against its conference? Florida State has sued the ACC for failing to create appropriate media rights value and violating the state of Florida's antitrust laws claiming the penalty for withdrawal is unenforceable.

In this episode we dive into the college football playoffs 

This day-and age you can't treat NIL and the portal like it's an option. South Carolina and Florida State are bidding on high school recruits and portal players and they're beating Clemson for them.

The debate of who'd get in to the college football playoff shouldn't have even involved Florida State...but it's not for the reason you think.

"Karma crawled out of hell and bit everyone in the a**crack" - Crazy Ralph gleefully revels in Florida State's exclusion from the college football playoff...but is he right? Was FSU rightfully left out because they were diminished without Jordan Travis?

Florida State being IN the college football playoff is just, leaving them out proves the playoff committee is corrupt.

Alexis Cubit of the Louisville Courier-Journal and Ehsan Kassim of the Tallahassee Democrat join the podcast to break down the ACC championship game between Louisville and Florida State.

In the final hour of the show, John Fricke talked college football and where teams stand ahead of rivalry week! 

Seminoles beat writer Ehsan Kassim of the Tallahassee Democrat and Gators beat writer Kevin Brockway of the Gainesville Sun join the podcast to discuss what this year's game may look like with two inexperienced backup quarterbacks starting.

By selecting Michigan 3rd in the first CFP rankings the committee proved they have no interest in penalizing Michigan for the cheating scandal. Do you read the tea leaves the same way?

The Gainesville Sun's Kevin Brockway, the Tallahassee Democrat's Jack Williams, the Daytona Beach News-Journal's Chris Boyle and voice of the Hurricanes, Joe Zagacki join the podcast to talk Gators, Knights, Seminoles and Hurricanes.

Noles escape to make it to 3-0. Can it be corrected in time for next week's match up with Clemson? The crew talks about it and more.

With another week left before conference play really begins in earnest, many teams have FCS and G5 games scheduled for this week. And with only a couple of data points now in the books for most teams, that's created some really valuable spots in games that few CFB fans are paying attention to.

Chase covers five official plays, three road favorites, and a host of Week 3 leans before talking G5 & FCS football with Sam Herder and Colton Pool of HERO Sports.

This week's official picks include the following games:

• Florida State at Boston College (+25.5)
• Georgia Southern at Wisconsin (-19.5)
• Georgia State at Charlotte (+7.5)
• New Mexico State at New Mexico (-1.5)
• Minnesota at North Carolina (-7.5)

Other leans and notes from this week include the following games:

• Alabama at South Florida (+32.5)
• Kansas State at Missouri (+5.5)
• Iowa State at Ohio (+3)
• Navy at Memphis (-14.5)
• Virginia at Maryland (-14.5)
• Central Michigan at Notre Dame (-34.5)
• South Carolina at Georgia (-27.5)
• Pittsburgh at West Virginia (+1)
• Syracuse at Purdue (+2.5)
• South Alabama at Oklahoma State (-7.5)
