Carter has returned, so the whole crew is back together. Which players are most important to the final conference outcomes come December? Will anyone select players on the defensive side of the ball, or is it all quarterbacks and running backs? (00:42) Thank you to “Big Game Boomer” who keeps releasing these CFB-related lists and rankings to keep us entertained in the offseason. Who are the most and least sensitive college football fanbases on Twitter? (42:16)

Fellow Medill student and Pitt alum Mike Tyrrell makes a guest appearance on the pod. MGM Resorts’ George Kliavkoff will be the new commissioner of the PAC-12. The group agrees this is a good hire, but we do not agree on former commissioner Larry Scott’s tenure. Yesterday was NFL schedule release day, and there were some great social media videos. Then there was the Cowboys’ video. Plus, which rookies are we most excited to watch take the field on Sundays this fall? Finally, Tuesday was Matt Leinart’s birthday. In his honor, we debate the best team ever. Mike makes an argument for the ‘04 Trojans, Ashton joins him in the early 2000s and the Brandons lean into their SEC and recency biases.

Happy NFL Draft week from 4th and Four! We conduct our second snake draft, choosing our favorite quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end and defensive player from this year’s Draft class. Schaff prepared to draft an Alabama all-star team, but Ashton and Carter spoil his fun leading Schaff to scramble and frantically research players that did not play football in Tuscaloosa.
