ESPN recruiting and college football analyst Tom Luginbill joins The Next Round for a must-watch conversation covering the biggest storylines shaping the college football landscape right now — from major recruiting wins in the SEC to high-stakes College Football Playoff matchups.

We start with Byrum Brown’s commitment to Auburn, breaking down what Tigers fans should realistically expect from their new quarterback and how his experience in Alex Golesh's system will pay dividends. Then, we shift to Tuscaloosa as Tom evaluates Hollywood Smothers’ commitment to Alabama and answers the big question: Is this the missing piece Kalen DeBoer needs to jumpstart the Crimson Tide run game?

From there, it’s all about the College Football Playoff. Tom dives deep into the matchup between Ole Miss and Miami, focusing on how the Rebels’ offense matches up against the Hurricanes’ elite defensive line. We also preview the highly anticipated Indiana vs. Oregon rematch — can the Hoosiers keep their magical, undefeated season alive, or will the Ducks get revenge when it matters most?

If you’re locked in on SEC football, recruiting, quarterback evaluations, or CFP analysis, this episode delivers expert insight you won’t want to miss.
