Why the Big-12 is no more of a power conference than the Pac-12 + what stands out from Phil Steele

Justin Michael talks about Trey McBride being one of six players in the NFL to receive a 99 overall rating on Madden 27 and why that’s a big deal for Colorado State’s national representation. He then talks about Lawrence McCutcheon and gives out the CSU Stat of the Day. Finally, in honor of Hot Take Tuesday for ALLCITY Spirit Week, Justin talks about why the concept of the power four is a farce in 2026. He then finishes with what stood out to him from a CSU perspective in Phil Steele’s annual college football preview magazine.   0:00 - Intro 1:00 - Welcome In 3:00 - CSU Apparel Update And Other Headlines 17:48 Remember that Ram 22:00 - Hot Take Tuesday 33:55 - Hot Takes Pt.2 42:18 - Phil Steele Insight   Join the DNVR Supporter's Club and get a custom DNVR badge next to your name!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8aOXvlqQqMlTFvbbAarD-A/join   An ALLCITY Network Production   PARTY WITH US: https://thednvr.com/events   ALL THINGS DNVR: https://linktr.ee/dnvrsports   BALL-KNOWER BONUS/Merch: https://promotion.allcitynetwork.com/all   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/DNVR_Sports   Win Avalanche Playoff Tickets from Toyota: https://web.witcontests.com/avalanche/sweepstakes/win/avs-playoffs-presented-by-toyo-260401   MARS MEN: For a limited time, our listeners can get 50% off for life plus Free Shipping AND 3 Free Gifts at Men Go To Mars dot com.
