In this episode, Chris "Bear" Fallica, Geoff Schwartz and Sammy Panayotovich break down the most overrated teams in the 2025 college football season. Can Florida survive a brutal schedule? Is Illinois being propped up by hype? Does Tennessee’s youth movement at key spots mean growing pains are coming?

Plus, we’re selling some popular offseason narratives. Penn State has the 2nd-best playoff odds... are the Nittany Lions trustworthy under James Franklin? Michigan’s "bounce back" hype gets debunked, and the idea that the Big 12 has multiple playoff contenders? We’re not buying it.

We also give a PSA on the infamous “Solo Cup” fan bets and close with another round of best college football futures bets for 2025. Make sure to stay tuned for our NFL podcast dropping later in the week.
