New episodes weekly all offseason as we break down schedules, rankings, and the road to the College Football Playoff.

In Episode 6, we break down the biggest winners and losers from the Big 12 schedule release and what it means for the conference race.

Who has the cleanest path to Arlington?
Who drew the absolute gauntlet?
And which teams are quietly set up for a 9–10 win season?

We discuss:

• Texas Tech’s manageable championship window
• Utah and Kansas State’s balanced draws
• Why UCF might be flying under the radar
• Colorado and Arizona’s brutal stretches
• Cincinnati’s season-defining two-week swing

Then we zoom out and debate the bigger question:

Who can actually win the national championship in the 12-team College Football Playoff era?

We break down contenders like Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, Oregon, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and more — and explain why some big-name programs may not be built for the CFP grind.

Plus:
• Penn State’s playoff ceiling
• The difference between “conference good” and “CFP good”
• What the Big 12 needs to prove nationally

Welcome back to The Breakdown Bros.

In Episode 5, we break down the 2026 SEC football schedules and debate which teams benefited from the draw, and which programs got squeezed by a brutal slate.

Let us know in the comments:
Which SEC team got the best schedule?
Is the CFP calendar actually broken?

We rank the 2026 Big Ten schedules (top winners + biggest losers), break down the transfer portal’s biggest moves, and circle the best Saturdays on the 2026 college football calendar — including the “Super Saturday” slate on Nov. 7. Plus: listener hot takes on Arvell Reese and Dillon’s bold Kansas Big 12 prediction.

ESPN dropped their Way-Too-Early Top 25 — and we had to react. In this episode, we break down the full rankings, debate whether Indiana deserves the top spot, and dig into the growing Texas hype (and whether it’s earned).

We also unveil our own REAL Top 12 for the upcoming season, highlighting teams we trust, teams we don’t, and where the biggest gaps in perception lie.

Plus, we dive into the latest NIL chaos shaking college football — including tampering allegations, contract disputes, and what this new legal landscape means for players and programs moving forward.

To wrap it up, we drop bold predictions that could age very well… or very poorly.

The 12-team College Football Playoff is officially here — and it just flipped the sport on its head.

Indiana wins the national championship, the SEC’s dominance gets questioned, and suddenly programs we never took seriously are right in the title picture. In Episode 2 of The Breakdown Bros, we react to the championship game, break down what Indiana’s run really means, and debate whether the new playoff format has permanently changed how teams can win.

We dig into:

• Why Indiana’s title run might be the greatest turnaround in college football history

• Whether the SEC is overrated in the NIL + expanded playoff era

• If Texas is actually a fraud contender

• What narratives officially died after the first 12-team playoff

• Why roster balance and trench play matter more than elite QB talent

• Teams we believe are set up to exceed expectations next season

The playoff expanded — but so did chaos. College football may never look the same again.
