Episode 5: Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker welcome Ari Temkin of Big 12 Radio into the studio for a wide-ranging conversation about the biggest stories reshaping college football. They begin with Texas Tech’s chaotic offseason, the quarterback controversy surrounding the Red Raiders and the constant claim that the program simply bought its roster. Ari explains why that criticism is applied differently to Texas Tech than it is to national powers such as Texas, Ohio State, Alabama and LSU, while also evaluating Tech’s championship potential, its future at quarterback and why the chances of Texas putting the Red Raiders back on the schedule are nearly nonexistent.

The conversation then expands to the future of the sport, including Ari’s prediction that the ACC could implode by 2030, the Big 12’s place in the next wave of realignment and Brett Yormark’s efforts to keep the conference competitive. Jacob, Kevin and Ari also tackle playoff expansion, the possible elimination of conference championship games, the Protect College Sports Act, the problems inside the unregulated NIL agent market and whether the SEC could realistically separate from the NCAA. Plus, Ari breaks down the Big 12 title race, identifies potential sleeper teams and closes by blind ranking five of the conference’s quarterbacks.
