Today on The Hard Count with J.D. PicKell … it’s all about October in College Football — and how this month could define the playoff race and reshape the national picture.

J.D. breaks down which programs have the most important October, including Michigan, USC, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, and why each team faces a defining stretch. He also dives into Texas A&M’s turnaround, asking if the Aggies have finally cured “Battered Aggie Syndrome” under new leadership.

Then, it’s time for Red River Rivalry predictions — how does the Oklahoma vs Texas matchup change if John Mateer starts for the Sooners? J.D. closes by previewing Oregon vs Indiana, explaining what’s being overlooked in that Big Ten matchup and which under-the-radar factors could decide the game.
