The guys discuss Enes' thoughts on NBA super teams, and also the fact that he was willing to sit out a year at Kentucky as part of his "punishment" from the NCAA and return for his sophomore year. Would Kentucky have won the title without him in 2011? And how good could the 2012 Kentucky Wildcats have been had Kanter actually played his sophomore year alongside Anthony Davis? Scuttlebutt about expanding the College Football Playoff: Next up, Aaron and Nick briefly discuss scuttlebutt that came out of Big Ten Media Days about expanding the College Football Playoff. After Jim Harbaugh and Scott Frost both talked expansion - is it time to move the playoff to eight teams? On the one hand, we can rarely get to four teams good enough to make the playoff, now we're going to double it? Also, what about the Central Florida's of the world who have no chance to win the championship as things currently stand?
