It's getting closer.

As the new season nears, we once again kick off another year of Speak of the Devils by bringing in some of the biggest names in college football coverage to get a national outlook of the Sun Devils.

But first, we catch you up on the latest ASU news before we welcome in Ralph Amsden of ASUDevils.com. One of the most dialed-in recruiting reporters anywhere, Ralph dishes on the latest from the recruiting trail.

Next up, Brad and Joe review where the preseason rankings are placing ASU, and which Sun Devils are getting some national love.

We then welcome back to the show SportsCenter anchor and host of ESPN Radio's College GameDay (and ASU alum) Matt Barrie. He gives us an expert take on where ASU sits nationally, and how the Pac-12 battle is shaping up

Finally, we are joined by one of the premier voices in the sport: Phil Steele. The legendary writer explains what he likes about ASU, how they stack up in the South, and why a playoff run could be in the cards.
