The 2026 college football season will be an enormous one for Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans, and their showdown with Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Coliseum on Halloween will go a long way toward determining whether the Trojans can earn a spot in the College Football Playoff. 

In this special bonus episode, you'll hear directly from Riley about his personal history against Ohio State and the historic rivalry between the Buckeyes and Trojans, and whether this could be the start of a rekindled rivalry. 

Plus, you'll hear his thoughts about a 24-team College Football Playoff, what it will take to get USC over the hump and into the CFP, and why he's so openly confident about his team this year.
