    Most Unpredictable Teams of 2024

    Steven Lassan and Braden Gall talk college football. The SEC-Big Ten negotiating tactics are on full display currently as we debate 12 or 14 teams. Where it will land seems obvious.

And which teams could implode and be this year's other TCU?

Celebrating the game episode in Oct ‘23

Fantastic. Have to believe more CFB fans want this type of content. Honesty over talking heads, agendas and arguing for ratings. It’s a tired format for the real sports fan. Keep it up, new listener and loving the unique content.

Excellent Under the Radar Podcast of CFB

I always enjoy this podcast. I believe the two guests live in SEC country, but they both love CFB, and they cover the entire power 5 unlike many podcasts.

Vocabulary 101 For Braden

Coagulation: “to thicke into a coherent mass; to form blood clots”

Coalescing: “to unite for a common end”
