Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon are excited to be joined by Drew Crabtree, credentialed Ohio State and Bengals beat writer at LastWordOnSports.com and editor at Pro Football and Sports Network. We kick things off with college football—Drew breaks down how a Week 1 showdown vs. Texas could reshape Ohio State’s season, what makes Jeremiah Smith and the Buckeye receiver room so elite, and what to expect from new QB Julian Sayin in 2025.

We also dive into Ohio State’s loaded 2025 recruiting class, AD Ross Bjork’s controversial stance on the transfer portal, and which freshmen could make an immediate impact in Columbus.

Then we shift to the NFL and a deep dive into the Cincinnati Bengals. Drew reacts to Zac Taylor landing on the PFF hot seat list, the Trey Hendrickson contract talks, and the Shemar Stewart minicamp holdout. The Bengals defense heading into the season plus more!

Don’t miss this dual-threat breakdown of two programs from a plugged-in reporter who covers both every day.

Excited to be joined by JP Acosta, staff writer at SB Nation covering both the NFL and college football. We kick things off with the NFL—J.P. breaks down how Jacksonville’s new-look staff could reshape the franchise. We also dig into Michael Penix Jr.’s rookie tape, the impact of Frank Ragnow’s surprise retirement in Detroit, and which NFL minicamp holdouts could shake up the NFL landscape.

Then we shift to college football and J.P.’s preseason Big Ten power rankings. Why he put Oregon at No. 1, what gives Penn State the edge in 2025, and how big the red flags are at Ohio State and USC. We dive into breakout candidates like QB Aidan Chiles at Michigan State, the potential of QB Demond Williams at Washington, and the pressure on Lincoln Riley at USC.

Plus, which team is most likely to outperform expectations, why Illinois at No. 4 raised some eyebrows—and what J.P. sees that others might miss. We also highlight 5 CFB transfers who could dramatically boost their 2026 NFL Draft stock.

Excited to be joined by Preston Guy, staff writer covering LSU football and recruiting at TigerBait.com. We dive into Brian Kelly’s third year in Baton Rouge—how does his tenure compare to previous LSU coaches who won national titles in Year 3? And with what might be his most talented roster yet, how much pressure is on Kelly to deliver in 2025?

Plus, insight into LSU’s No. 1-ranked transfer portal class, key additions at wide receiver and tight end, concerns along the offensive line, and which 2025 freshmen could make an early impact. We also break down Garrett Nussmeier’s potential, the rise of LSU’s NIL efforts after missing out on Bryce Underwood, and whether the Tigers can keep up financially with teams like Texas, Ohio State, and Oregon.

We wrap with Preston’s thoughts on Brian Kelly’s SEC vs. Big Ten comments and how upcoming changes to the College Football Playoff could impact LSU's path to a national title. Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the SEC’s best programs!
