Locked On Sun Devils - Daily Podcast On Arizona State Sun Devils Football & Basketball

Arizona State Sun Devils football hosts the BYU Cougars this weekend for what could be the most important game in both respective programs' history. A once prominent rivalry decades ago could be reignited in the Big 12 Conference with so much on the line including a path to the conference's championship game in Arlington. Neither the Sun Devils nor the Cougars were thought much of heading into the 2024 season, but they are a couple of wins away from competing for the Big 12 title and a potential berth in the College Football Playoff. A lot is on the line here and tensions could flare with emotions running high in Tempe. Locked On Sun Devils host Richie Bradshaw sits down with Locked On Cougars host Jake Hatch to discuss this weekend's game between the Sun Devils and the Cougars including the stakes plus keys to victory on this edition of the Locked On Sun Devils podcast crossover.

This Saturday at Mountain America Stadium, Arizona State Sun Devils football faces the BYU Cougars for what could be a win-or-go-home scenario for both programs as the regular season nears its end and the Big 12 Conference Championship Game sorts out the top two seeds. The Sun Devils are virtually in control of their destiny, but a win against the Cougars is pivotal. In a crossover edition of the Locked On Sun Devils podcast, host Richie Bradshaw is joined by Drake Toll from the Locked On Big 12 podcast as the guys discuss why Arizona State Sun Devils football will emerge victorious and take one more step toward appearing in the conference title game. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, so the discussion about how ASU could lose is also important before we wrap up the conversation about what Arizona State Sun Devils football could do if they were to win the Big 12 Conference and make an appearance in the 2024 College Football Playoff in the first ever 12-team format.

Arizona State Sun Devils football has won eight games this season after downing the Kansas State Wildcats on the road. the Sun Devils have managed to win in a variety of ways ranging from great coaching to a play-making defense, but recently it's been about the elite quarterback-to-wide receiver duo of Sam Leavitt and Jordyn Tyson. The combo was as elite as it comes against the Wildcats, with Leavitt tossing three touchdown passes, two of them belonging to Tyson, who also managed nearly 200 receiving yards on 12 catches. Leavitt and Tyson have had great chemistry all season long, but this past weekend's performance was easily their strongest yet and it was a huge, if not the biggest reason why Arizona State Sun Devils football toppled K-State in The Little Apple. It was a good performance all around with the return of Cam Skattebo to the lineup and safeties Xavion Alford, Shamari Simmons, and Myles Rowser all having good days. The game was far from perfect and was too close for some and host Richie Bradshaw breaks down the good and bad from Arizona State Sun Devils football's most recent win along with key takeaways from the win before handing out some game balls on this edition of the Locked On Sun Devils podcast.

It was no secret that the path to the postseason was always complicated for Arizona State Sun Devils football. When Kenny Dillingham led the Sun Devils to their sixth win of the season, we confirmed a bowl game. When ASU got their seventh win, we began pondering if a run to the Big 12 Conference Championship Game was viable even if it meant many things needing to go their way. Then the Sun Devils got their eighth win over a Big 12 heavyweight in #16 Kansas State. Suddenly, the hopes of pushing for a title appearance became slightly better as they effectively eliminated K-State from contention. And then things became perfect, as #6 BYU was stunned at home by three-win Kansas. The last unbeaten team in the Big 12 Conference was issued their first loss of the year and to a division opponent nonetheless. The 8-2 Arizona State Sun Devils football team also has two conference losses. And of course, BYU visits Tempe on Saturday with the highest stakes either program has faced this year and in quite some time. With everything that happened on Saturday, a slim hope became yours for the taking. Arizona State Sun Devils football controls their destiny for the remainder of the season. A trip to the Big 12 Conference Championship Game likely comes down to this weekend. A win in the title game punches your ticket to the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff. And now, the Sun Devils, who were picked to finish dead last in the Big 12 in the offseason, can blow away the entire nation if they want to... it's all in their hands. Host Richie Bradshaw has a raw and unscripted reaction to ASU's win over K-State, BYU's loss to Kansas, and more on this edition of the Locked On Sun Devils podcast.

Arizona State Sun Devils football is in the Little Apple tonight to take on the #16 Kansas State Wildcats. Both programs are fighting for their chances to make the Big 12 Conference Championship Game. The Wildcats were always expected to contend for the title, but the Sun Devils have been one of the biggest surprises in college football this season. Kenny Dillingham has his Sun Devils at 7-2 in just his second year with the program with some important wins, but not only is this a crucial game, but it's in a hostile environment -- one that eclipses every other play you've visited this year. With everything at stake for both teams, who are likely knocked out of content for a Big 12 Conference title game berth, it will be a hard-fought team from both the Sun Devils and the Wildcats. K-State is trying to defend their preseason expectations. Arizona State has a chance to do something no one saw coming... and that's establishing themselves as an elite team in a brand-new conference. Arizona State Sun Devils football has to be on their A-game against an established elite Big 12 team if they want to earn that status, but do they stand a chance? Hos Richie Bradshaw previews arguably the most important game of the year for both programs including both sides of the football with players to watch plus some bold predictions and a final score on this edition of the Locked On Sun Devils podcast.

It's do-or-die time for Arizona State Sun Devils football when it comes to their hopes of appearing in the Big 12 Conference Championship game as they head to the Little Apple to face #16 Kansas State in what was predicted here to be the most unwinnable game of the season during the offseason. Things have changed since the summer, as Kenny Dillingham has led the Sun Devils to a 7-2 start to the season and is in the thick of the race for that conference title berth. Meanwhile, the Wildcats have been the lone team picked in the preseason to be among the best in the Big 12 Conference to back up the talk, even though they have shown some weaknesses throughout the year. The environment at the Bill Snyder Family Stadium is among the best in all of college football. Arizona State Sun Devils football has struggled on the road this season, too, making this a recipe for a loss. Of course, the Sun Devils have risen to the occasion all season and can do the same against K-State, although it won't be easy. Host Richie Bradshaw breaks down the importance of this game and lays out a game plan on offense and defense plus from the coaching staff for a crucial win on this edition of the Locked On Sun Devils podcast.

Introducing Big 12 Bets PLUS BYU Would Get KILLED By SEC Teams in CFP from Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast.

Follow the show: Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

BYU and Big 12 football have long faced challenges in garnering the same level of recognition from national media as programs in conferences like the SEC and Big Ten. This issue stems from a mix of geographical, historical, and competitive factors that contribute to the perception that these programs are underappreciated on the national stage.

For BYU, being overlooked is partly due to its status as an independent program until its recent move to the Big 12. Despite a proud football history, including a national championship in 1984 and a steady flow of bowl game victories, BYU has often struggled to be a consistent part of national playoff and major bowl discussions. The media tends to prioritize Power Five conferences, and BYU's position outside that elite group meant that even standout seasons, like the 2020 campaign led by Zach Wilson, received less serious playoff consideration than similar seasons by teams within power conferences.

The Big 12, meanwhile, has faced its own battles for national media respect. Despite being home to high-flying offenses, legendary players, and storied programs, the conference is often overshadowed by the SEC and Big Ten, which dominate media coverage due to their size, historical success, and large markets. This lack of attention can result in perceptions that Big 12 teams are less competitive, even though the conference has produced CFP participants and seen teams compete at a national level, like Oklahoma’s repeated playoff appearances and TCU’s recent run to the 2022 National Championship game.

Both BYU and the Big 12 are further impacted by a level of unpredictability in the conference, with intense competition that often results in unexpected outcomes. While this makes the league entertaining and deep, it can be viewed by national media as lacking the top-tier dominance seen in other conferences. However, this same unpredictability is what makes Big 12 football exciting, and BYU's passionate fanbase and resilient program fit well into this landscape.

As BYU enters the Big 12, the hope is that consistent, high-stakes matchups against well-regarded conference opponents will lead to increased national exposure. The conference's commitment to competitive play and the addition of strong programs like BYU could help reshape the narrative, showcasing that both the school and the league deserve more acknowledgment as significant players in college football.

When we entered the offseason and previewed Arizona State Sun Devils football's debut into the Big 12 Conference, the expectations were about as low as you'd think they could be. It was back-to-back three-win seasons and only the second year of the Kenny Dillingham era. It looked like a gigantic rebuild, so naturally, the Sun Devils were expected to be terrible, to be frank. The media poll picked Arizona State Sun Devils football to finish dead last in the Big 12 Conference and that was the end of the conversation. But apparently, someone forgot to tell Dillingham and his Sun Devils of this prediction because the program is 7-2 with three games left in the regular season. The Sun Devils are going to the postseason, and it will likely be a good bowl game, but now Arizona State has a chance to appear in the Big 12 Conference Championship Game. To get there, the Sun Devils need a little bit of help and luck, but they have a massive say in their chances. The pressure to win out the last three games is on with it being a necessity to get that far. With one or two other factors playing into their favor, Arizona State Sun Devils football could own tiebreakers and head to Dallas to square off with whoever to win the Big 12 Conference and thus advance to the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff. But how realistic is all of this?
