Today on The Hard Count, the eyes of the college football world are on Alabama Crimson Tide football as we move from the Nick Saban era to the Kalen DeBoer era. J.D. breaks down how Bama can win in year 1 with their new head coach. Nebraska Cornhusker football may be looking for a new AD, with the departure of Trev Alberts, but Matt Rhule made it very clear he's not going anywhere. J.D. unpacks what Matt Rhule had to say and what it means going forward. Our "Contenders" series has reached the "Sneaky Tier." J.D. talks about teams like Florida State Seminoles football, Tennessee Vols football, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish football as teams that could make a run at a College Football National Championship in 2024 if they get some things to align right. Plus, J.D. shoots down the take that March Madness is somehow a qualifier for expanding the College Football Playoff. It's the biggest Tuesday of the week. Let's have a DAY!
