The 2027 quarterback class is already generating massive hype, but could it actually become the greatest QB class in NFL Draft history?

Brad Powers and Joey Knish break down the top quarterback prospects expected to headline the 2027 NFL Draft, including Arch Manning, CJ Carr, Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, LaNorris Sellers, CJ Bailey, Nico Iamaleava, Fernando Mendoza, Josh Hoover and more.

Would Arch Manning really be the No. 1 overall pick if the draft happened today? Is CJ Carr the safest quarterback prospect in college football? Could Dante Moore ultimately become the best NFL quarterback from this class?

The guys rank their top quarterback prospects, debate where the consensus is getting certain players wrong, and make bold predictions about how many quarterbacks could be selected in the first round and first three rounds of the NFL Draft.

They also discuss elite non-quarterback prospects like Jeremiah Smith, Leonard Moore and Dylan Stewart, and whether the 2027 NFL Draft could become one of the most talented draft classes in recent memory.

Will this quarterback group live up to the hype, or are expectations already getting out of control?

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has been granted a temporary injunction against the NCAA — and he's playing in 2026. Powers and Knish break down the ruling, what it means for NCAA enforcement, and whether this sets a precedent that blows the whole system open. Sorsby admitted to placing roughly $90,000 in bets over four years, including wagers on his own Indiana team, and was declared permanently ineligible — until a Texas judge stepped in and handed him a two-game suspension instead. We get into the legal angles, the gambling addiction framing, the role of superstar attorney Jeffrey Kessler, and what happens next as the NCAA eyes an appeal. Is the NCAA's enforcement model broken beyond repair? Hit the Books.

In this episode of Hit The Books, Brad Powers and Joey Knish dive into one of the most debated topics in all of college football right now: which head coaches are actually being overrated by the market, the media, and fan perception.

The conversation gets heated quickly as they break down the gap between reputation and real results across the sport. Mario Cristobal at Miami comes under the microscope, with discussion around elite recruiting versus actual on-field execution and whether the results truly match the hype. Dabo Swinney’s Clemson tenure is also heavily debated, especially as questions continue to grow around whether the program has adapted enough to modern college football after recent down years.

The guys also take aim at Lincoln Riley and whether his offensive brilliance is being overshadowed by deeper program-building concerns at USC, especially after expectations shifted following his arrival. Coach Prime and Colorado are brought into the mix as well, focusing on whether early momentum can realistically be sustained in the new transfer portal era or if regression is coming.

From there, the debate escalates into some of the biggest names in the sport. Steve Sarkisian at Texas is questioned in terms of win consistency versus roster talent and program investment, while Kirby Smart at Georgia sparks one of the most controversial takes of the episode, with Brad and Joey challenging whether results fully match the national perception of dominance in today’s college football landscape.

Which college football coaches are REALLY on the hot seat heading into the 2026 season?

Brad Powers and Joey Knish break down the coaches they believe may not survive the year at their current schools, including Bill Belichick at North Carolina, Deion Sanders at Colorado, Dabo Swinney at Clemson, Shane Beamer at South Carolina, Mike Locksley at Maryland and more.

The crew debates whether Bill Belichick will still be coaching at North Carolina in 2027, if Deion Sanders missed his chance to leave Colorado, and whether Dabo Swinney can still compete in the modern era of college football. They also discuss which programs are falling behind financially, the toughest jobs in college football, and which coaches are under the most pressure heading into the season.

Will Bill Belichick succeed at North Carolina? Can Deion Sanders keep Colorado relevant without Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders? Is Clemson heading toward a major fall under Dabo Swinney?

Let us know in the comments which college football coach you think is under the most pressure this season.

College football is changing fast, and Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down one of the biggest questions facing the sport today: does college football need a salary cap?

With NIL spending exploding across the country, some college football programs are reportedly pushing toward $40 million and even $50 million rosters. Knish and Powers discuss the future of NIL, donor fatigue, conference spending wars, playoff expansion, and whether the current model of college football is financially sustainable.

The guys debate how schools like Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, and Texas A&M could separate themselves financially from the rest of college football, while programs across the SEC and Big Ten try to keep up in the NIL arms race.

Joey Knish and Brad Powers also discuss NIL collectives, booster spending, revenue sharing in college sports, the future of non-revenue sports, and whether college football could eventually break away from universities entirely. They also examine how conferences like the SEC and Big Ten could shape the future of the sport as spending continues to rise.

Joey Knish and Brad Powers give their thoughts on where college football is headed next and whether the sport can continue spending at this pace without major changes.

In this episode of Hit The Books, Joey Knish and Brad Powers break down what a 24-Team College Football Playoff could look like and whether expanding the CFP would completely change college football as we know it.

The guys discuss how a 24-Team Playoff would impact the regular season, conference championships, rivalry week, strength of schedule, automatic bids, at-large teams, and the overall structure of the College Football Playoff. They also debate whether college football can realistically support a larger playoff format without damaging what already makes the sport unique.

Would a 24-Team CFP improve college football or completely break it?
