Do you realize how close the college football season is? So close that we're in the end of June, the penultimate month that doesn't feature any games. So close that today we begin the conference previews!

First up: the earth-shattering, rankings-dominating American Athletic Conference. But you can call it AAC.

Also, ranking the top five QBs in the nation!

Been wondering about the soccer prowess of Canada (the country) on the international stage? Today's your day, as Canada (the person) outlines just how dominant a national team must be in order be eliminated from an eight-team tournament that has six winners.

We do American football, too: news and notes, Blake Barnett, early Heisman watch. You know: 'Murica.

Yeah, Alabama will probably qualify for the playoff this year. Florida State, too. Such is the balance of probability. Oh, but you're looking for that 5,000 to 1 payoff at the sportsbook? The one that probably won't hit, but if it DOES. . . .

Well The College Football Podcast boys have you covered today, with a series of off-the-wall, completely out of left field predictions for the season. You won't find any Jameis Winston-wins-the-Heisman projections here, no sir. We've got Heisman forecasts, sure, but nary a one from a power conference. And WHO is going to win the Big 10 title this year? You're kidding!

If you were in charge of college football -- we're talking absolute monarch power-wielding -- how would you change it? That's the question CA and Luke tackle today, as they each count down the top five improvements they'd like to see the NCAA adopt.

You know what they discover? It's pretty damn good as it is. All that, plus news and notes from the week. (The SEC isn't doing bad, financially.)
