    College Football News & Predictions 🚨| CFB Matchups to Watch | Early Heisman Odds

    On this weeks episode I dive into the upcoming 2026 College Football season! With spring coming to a close and as we progress into the summer months, we are less than 100 days until the college football season is here and there is no shortage of News. The 24-Team playoff is still in the rumors but has been picking up traction as the weeks progress by other SEC coaches and University Presidents. The SEC and Big10 run college football but changes are only made if both parties agree on said changes. The Big10, Big12 and ACC are all showing favor and support of a new expanded 24-Team model, while the SEC is not in favor, which is the only thing holding this change at bay. Is the 24-Team Expansion Inevitably going to happen or will something else change this?  As the CFB season approaches there is no shortage of games to talk about, but the most fascinating weeks in this years schedule are weeks 2 & 10, with massive conference championship and playoff implications both early and late into the season. Arch Manning and Texas host Ohio State in week 2 in a rematch of last years opening season. In week 10 the, the MOST STACKED week of the year, LSU hosting Bama, Ole Miss and Georgia in a rematch of last years Sugar Bowl, BYU at Utah, Oregon traveling to Columbus to play the Buckeyes and the most anticipated matchup....Miami traveling to South Bend to take on Notre Dame!!! Which games will impact the playoff picture the most? All this and more on this weeks episode!

    Ohio State Takes Down Arch and Texas | Miami Holds Off Notre Dame | FSU Steamrolls Alabama🚨

    On this weeks episode, I dive into Week 1 of the 2025 College Football Season which was nothing short of cinematic!!! The Most hyped matchup of the weekend was No. 1 #texaslonghorns and Arch Manning traveling to Columbus to take on the 3rd ranked defending national champion #ohiostatebuckeyes ,  In Arch Mannings first true road game there was a lot to be desired as the Buckeyes defense shut Arch and the Longhorns down the majority of the game as the defending Champs win 14-7. Are the Buckeyes primed to go back-to-back? Will Arch Live up to the hype of being a Manning? In the battle of the Death Valleys, No. 9 #lsutigers traveled to South Carolina to take on the No. 4 #clemsontigers . In a battle of the Tigers Heisman hopeful Garrett Nussmeier led LSU to a 17-10 victory over Dabo Sweenys Tigers. Does Brian Kelly finally have a team capable of winning a national championship in the SEC? Is LSU now the favorites to win the SEC? And will Clemsons lack of depth and transfer portal usage be their downfall? In a rivalry renewed, No. 6 #notredamefightingirish traveled down to South Florida to take on the No. 10 #miamihurricanes . In Carson Becks first game as a Hurricane he started to look like the 2023 version of himself throwing for over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns while throwing no interceptions and commiting no turnovers, the Hurricanes held off the 2024 national runner-ups comeback attempt and took the game 27-24 in the first matchup against ND since 2017. Does Miami finally have a complete team to make a College Football Playoff Run? Will Carson Beck return back to his complete form? And Will Notre Dame rebound? In a game many thought was going to be a blowout the No. 8 #alabamacrimsontide traveled down to Tallahassee to take on the unranked #floridastateseminols . Many believed Alabama would steamroll FSU considering the Seminols went 2-10 last year, but to everyones surprise, Florida State beat the breaks off of Alabama 31-17 in a game that was not that close, FSU bullied and dominated every aspect of the game on thier way to announce they are back and this is not the same team as last year. Will FSU fight for the ACC this year? And is Kalen Debour going to last the rest of the season? All this on this weeks episode!

    COWBOYS TRADE FOR PICKENS🚨 | Giannis Leaving Bucks? | Michigan Suspends Moore

    On this weeks episode, the Pittsburgh Steelers recently parted ways with young promising wide receiver George Pickens trading him to the Dallas Cowboys! Was this the right move for the Steelers to make? And was the timing of this trade in fact the right time to make this trade? The Steelers have given Pickens chance after chance to clean up his act on and off the field, and with recent addition of wide receiver DK Metcalf from Seattle, Pickens would have been looked at as the second option in Pittsburgh. Now the Cowboys finally have a number 2 receiver to pair with star CeeDee Lamb but will it be enough for Dallas to compete with Washington and Philly in division? And will the baggage George Pickens brings affect Dallas' organization from the inside? Only time will tell! Giannis Antetokounmpo...The Greek Freak...will more than likely be traded in this upcoming NBA offseason. The 11 year career up to this point for Giannis has been nothing short of fantastic, bringing the Bucks their first Championship since 1971 back in 2021. Many thought he would finish his career as a Buck but with a lack of championship caliber personnel surrounding him has made it a difficult position to be in for The Bucks organization and Giannis himself. With the trade rumors getting more and more frequent, can we see Giannis traded to another team this offseason? All this and more on this weeks episode!
