    The NCAA Preseason Top 25 Ranking

    On this week's episode of Blue Collar Sports, we kick things off with our weekly recap before diving into another action-packed week across the sports world. In the NBA, we break down the league's biggest storylines following a wild offseason. We discuss what Giannis Antetokounmpo's arrival in Miami means alongside Bobby Portis and Tim Hardaway Jr., whether Jaylen Brown can elevate the 76ers into true contenders, and if Kawhi Leonard can bring championship hopes back to Toronto despite the Raptors losing key pieces. We also debate the Trail Blazers' crowded backcourt after adding Ja Morant and bringing Damian Lillard home, the Spurs' youth movement with two talented rookie big men, and whether the Lakers have quietly rebuilt their roster after adding Walker Kessler, Collin Sexton, Quentin Grimes, Mamadi Diakite, and Ziaire Williams while moving on from LeBron James. Next, we react to the biggest NBA Summer League surprises, highlighting the rookies who have boosted their stock—including Caleb Wilson, Maleek Thomas, Brayden Burries, Koi Peat, Allen Graves, and Brune Thornton—and discussing which highly-touted prospects still have work to do after disappointing performances in Las Vegas. Then it's time for one of our favorite segments: Blind Rank! We put our movie opinions on the line by blindly ranking five all-time favorites—The Dark Knight, Step Brothers, John Wick, The Hangover, and Central Intelligence—without knowing what movie is coming next. We continue our 2026 College Football Top 25 Preview by revealing our Top 5 teams in the country, explaining why Texas, Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, and Notre Dame sit atop our rankings and what each team needs to do to compete for a national championship. We also preview the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final, giving our predictions for the semifinal matchups and explaining why we believe Spain and Argentina will meet with the biggest trophy in football on the line. To wrap things up, we recap the biggest fights from UFC 329, including Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway and Paddy Pimblett vs. Benoit Saint Denis, before finishing with another edition of Locker Room Heat, where we debate one of the greatest sports arguments ever: Is Lionel Messi truly the greatest athlete of all time?

After the NBA talk, we have some fun by revealing our Top 3 NBA jerseys we'd buy—with one catch: we couldn't choose a jersey from our favorite team. Then it's time to continue our 2026 College Football Top 25 Preview, breaking down teams No. 6-15.
