    Why the AP Poll is a Joke: Our Top 25 Redo and College Football Playoff Predictions

    JR and Zach kick off by welcoming viewers and outlining the episode: critiquing the AP Poll, sharing their top 25, and predicting the CFP. They dive into the AP Poll, with Zach arguing Penn State is overrated at No. 2 due to lackluster performances compared to teams like LSU, Oregon, and Miami with stronger resumes. They highlight SEC bias, questioning high rankings for teams like South Carolina (above unranked Vanderbilt despite a head-to-head loss), Ole Miss (up after a close win over weak Kentucky), Auburn, and Mizzou. They praise USF's jump to No. 18 for big wins over Boise State and Florida, suggesting it should be higher. Discussions include inconsistencies like Florida State's ranking after beating Alabama, while similar upsets (e.g., Arizona State over Mississippi State) go unrecognized. They criticize Tennessee's rise for beating a weak opponent. Moving to their top 25: JR has Ohio State No. 1, Texas No. 2, Oregon No. 3, Penn State No. 4, Miami No. 5, then LSU, Georgia, Notre Dame, Illinois, USC, and others down to Utah at No. 25. Zach has Ohio State No. 1, LSU No. 2, Oregon No. 3, Penn State No. 4, Miami No. 5, Texas No. 6, Georgia No. 7, Florida State No. 8, Illinois No. 9, Utah No. 10, and rounds out with teams like Minnesota, Vanderbilt, and Tennessee. They debate specifics, like Utah's ranking (Zach at No. 10 for dominating UCLA; JR at No. 25 as unimpressive) and USF's resume. Finally, CFP predictions: JR sees Ohio State as No. 1 seed (Big Ten champ), Georgia No. 2 (SEC), Texas No. 3, Oregon No. 4, Miami No. 5 (ACC), with at-large like Penn State, Notre Dame, LSU, Utah, Illinois, Ole Miss, and USF (G5). Zach has Ohio State No. 1, LSU No. 2 (SEC), Oregon No. 3, Penn State No. 4 (Big Ten runner-up), Miami No. 5, Texas No. 6, Georgia No. 7, Florida State No. 8, Illinois No. 9, Utah No. 10, Notre Dame No. 11, USF No. 12. They note potential rematches and committee biases. Episode ends with calls for likes, subs, and comments.

    What Week 2 Taught Us About Every Big Ten Team

    JR and Zack kick off with fun banter about Minnesota running out of fireworks after scoring big, then roast the AP poll for biases like underranking teams such as USC, Nebraska, and Minnesota while overhyping SEC squads. They critique voters like Pete Yannity and Reese Davis for odd rankings, including Notre Dame too high and Illinois inconsistently placed. Transitioning to the main topic, they share one lesson per Big Ten team: Illinois' Luke Altmyer emerges as a top QB needing to carry a middling run game; Iowa's Cade McNamara hasn't upgraded the passing attack despite NIL spending; Purdue looks powerful and well-coached under Barry Odom, poised for upsets; Washington's Jonah Coleman runs like the nation's best back so far; Rutgers' success hinges on QB Athan Kaliakmanis and explosive receivers like Ian Strong; Maryland's young QB Malik Washington needs more support to avoid freshman mistakes; Indiana's offense under Curt Cignetti shows promise but must prove consistency; Michigan's defense is elite but offense struggles with QB issues; Michigan State's Aidan Chiles has star potential if he cuts turnovers; Minnesota's Brosmer leads a potent attack but defense needs work; Nebraska's Raiola impresses as a true freshman leader; Northwestern's run game shines but passing lags; Ohio State's talent overwhelms, with a dominant defense; Oregon's Dillon Gabriel adapts well despite line concerns; Penn State's explosive offense could contend if defense steps up; UCLA battles injuries but shows grit; USC's Miller Moss and revamped defense signal a turnaround; Wisconsin's QB woes persist under Phil Longo. They touch on power rankings, Heisman chatter, and preview upcoming games like USC-Purdue. The episode wraps with appreciation for listeners and teases future content.

    5 DAYS AGO

    Lanning Fires Back – Big Ten Previews Week 2 Games of the week

    Hosts JR and Zack dive into Big Ten Week 2 previews, focusing on five teams facing Power Four foes. They start with Oregon vs. Oklahoma State, roasting Mike Gundy's press conference rants about Oregon's NIL spending (claiming $40M vs. OSU's $7M over three years) and his suggestions for budget-based scheduling. Gundy's quips, like duct-taping Nike logos, draw "loser mentality" criticism, while Dan Lanning's classy retort—"Some save to have excuses"—earns praise. Predictions: Oregon wins big (JR: 42-0; Zack: 38-3), citing OSU's poor Week 1 vs. UT Martin and Oregon's elite O-line protecting Dante Moore. Next, Michigan State vs. Maryland: MSU's Aidan Chiles impresses in Week 1, but Maryland's Billy Edwards Jr. poses threats. MSU's run game and defense could edge it; scores: JR 24-21 MSU, Zack 27-24 Maryland. Iowa vs. Iowa State: Iowa's Cade McNamara struggles passing, but run game shines. Cyclones' Rocco Becht is dual-threat; low-scoring predicted (JR: 20-17 Iowa; Zack: 17-10 Iowa State). Illinois vs. Kansas: Illini's Luke Altmyer efficient, but Kansas' Jalon Daniels is explosive. Illini's D could contain; JR: 24-21 Illinois, Zack: 27-24 Kansas. Michigan vs. Oklahoma: Wolverines' Bryce Underwood (freshman QB) faces SEC hype. Oklahoma's John Mateer timing off; Michigan's run duo (Marshall/Haynes) and D-line dominate. Barham's targeting suspension noted, but depth helps. Scores: JR 20-13 Michigan, Zack 16-10 Michigan, with Zavada's kicking MVP. Episode mixes humor (Bryce Underwood fan club jokes), analysis (player stats, schemes), and calls for respectful coaching.

    JR and Zack's Top 25s and CFP Predictions: How many Big Ten teams should be ranked?

    JR and Zach kick off with a national perspective on college football, sharing their top 25 rankings ahead of the first in-season AP poll. Zach defends Ohio State at #1, praising their defense and win over Texas, while ranking LSU #2 for their road victory over Clemson but cautioning against overhyping it. He places Penn State #3, Texas #4, Miami #5, and continues down to Nebraska and Indiana at #24-25, snubbing Alabama and Tennessee. JR agrees on Ohio State #1 and Texas #2, with LSU #3, Penn State #4, and similar picks but differences like Georgia higher and Alabama included. They rant about media biases, SEC hype, and metrics favoring Ohio State. The duo debates team performances: Ohio State's conservative offense and elite defense, LSU's matchup edges, Texas's talent despite the loss, Miami's defensive line, Oregon's potential, and concerns for Clemson, Alabama (effort issues), and Florida State. They highlight Big Ten standouts like Illinois, Michigan, USC, and Minnesota, while noting Indiana's roster upgrades but yellow flags. Shifting to CFP predictions, Zach's bracket has Ohio State as #1 seed (Big Ten champ), LSU #2 (SEC), Penn State #3 (at-large), Miami #4 (ACC), Utah #5 (Big 12), Notre Dame #6, Texas #7, Georgia #8, Oregon #9, Clemson #10, Tulane #11 (Group of 5), and Illinois #12. JR's is similar: Ohio State #1, LSU #2, Penn State #3, Miami #4, Utah #5, Notre Dame #6, Texas #7, Georgia #8, Oregon #9, Florida State #10, Clemson #11, Tulane #12. They discuss odds, Alabama's tough schedule (35% playoff chance), USC as a dark horse, and Big Ten/SEC bid limits. They touch on betting odds (e.g., Ohio State -650 to make playoffs), potential upsets, and sleepers like Kansas. The episode ends with scheduling teases for future shows and appreciation for subscribers.

  8. Big Ten Insider Spy: Did Velazquez Rat Out Stallions to Ohio State?

    Big Ten Insider Spy: Did Velazquez Rat Out Stallions to Ohio State?

    JR kicks off by noting this episode dives into rivalry drama rather than pure football analysis, warning it's not for everyone but perfect for those who love juicy stories. He recaps the Michigan sign-stealing scandal involving Connor Stallions, who got an eight-year show cause from the NCAA. Recent penalties hit Michigan coaches, but new CBS News Detroit info revives the saga with sources alleging a student athlete lied about ex-coach Chris Partridge and recorded a call with Stallions without consent. This info allegedly went to a private investigation firm—rumored to be run by Ryan Day's brother in New Hampshire—which passed it to the NCAA, sparking the probe. JR explains Michigan fans' theory: the firm orchestrated it at Ryan Day's behest to undermine Michigan after losses. Key claims include unauthorized videos of staff computers and illegal evidence gathering. Fans point to Joey Velazquez, a former Michigan linebacker and baseball player who transferred to Ohio State as a walk-on, as the "rat." Velazquez, a childhood Buckeye fan and ex-OSU baseball commit, faces online harassment from Michigan supporters calling him a traitor. Rumors suggest OSU offered him money or perks to spy. JR discusses if this could lead to vacated wins or appeals, noting the NCAA might avoid admitting faulty evidence. He doubts major fallout for OSU, seeing it as fans' wishful thinking, and questions if Michigan pursues court action over "fruit of the poisonous tree." Overall, it's unconfirmed gossip, but entertaining Big Ten lore.
