Penn State-SMU is the fourth College Football Playoff first-round game to get previewed on Kings of the North, as Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises give the Nittany Lions and Mustangs a Big Game Breakdown on both sides of the ball. That's followed by the latest transfer portal news, which includes Oregon filling both holes at offensive tackle for 2025. Then it's time, finally, for Doug and Bill to make their playoff picks. They give score predictions for all four opening games and then fill out their brackets all the way through and choose their national champions. Thanks for joining Kings of the North, and see you for Late Knight postgame shows on both Friday and Saturday.
