"In the (D3FB) Huddle" (S19E01) - Preseason Show #1

Season 19. In 2008 -- 18 years ago -- this was a little Liberty League show. Now it's a national poll, a full preseason slate, and the two co-hosts still arguing about the WIAC in August.   Frank Rossi & James Baker are back to open the season — the first of four preseason shows before we go live from Montclair for the opener.   What's in it:   The annual question — North Central or River Falls back to Salem? The WIAC — no top dog, four teams in our Top 15. The portal — who's actually built to survive it. The Top 40 — and why we rank 40, not 25. Ranked vs Ranked — all 23 games in the first three weeks. Predictions — win totals, NESCAC bids, the PAC tiebreaker. The hard one — will a program go under this year? Mailbag — Centennial, under-the-radar, Keystone, roster size. Rule changes — Jim Corpora and Stuart Hindman on all of it.   Week 1 gives you #1 North Central vs #3 Bethel, one of the rarest regular-season matchups we've ever had. St. John's is bringing in 101 freshmen. And a free-kick field goal is now legal in college football.   Thank you for 18 years of this. Football's almost here.   Remember to also follow @D3FBHuddle on X
