Number 1: Michigan Struggles, LSU Humiliates Clemson, Super Bowl Predictions, Rams vs. 49ers
Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” on The Volume. They start with Michigan’s rocky start in their first game under coach Kyle Whittingham and the regression shown by quarterback Bryce Underwood (2:30), they also discuss the crazy ending to their game against Western Michigan (7:30). They pivot to Clemson being humiliated by LSU and Colin questions whether it’s time for head coach Dabo Swinney to go (12:15), and they make their predictions on how LSU will fare under Lane Kiffin (17:30). Colin argues Miami’s Darian Mensah looks like the best quarterback in college football, and could have a special season now that he’s paired with dynamic wide receiver Malachi Toney (26:00). They also discuss the growing disparity between the power conferences and the mid-majors despite Boise State putting a scare into #2 Oregon (29:30). They move to the mess at UNC under Bill Belichick and why hiring a “friends and family” staff has hamstrung the program (37:00). They pivot to the NFL and make their Super Bowl predictions and preview Seahawks vs. Patriots to open the NFL season (49:00). They preview the Rams vs. 49ers this Thursday on Netflix and Colin believes the Rams will become the target for everyone’s best shot since they’re the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl… and that it’s no guarantee the Rams even win their division (56:00). Finally, they react to Tua Tagovailoa winning the starting quarterback job for the Falcons (1:07:00) (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)

Number 2: USC’s Empty Seats, NFL Week 1, Will Broncos Regress? Brutal Big Ten Schedules
Everybody spent the weekend dunking on the empty seats at the Coliseum. Colin isn't buying the outrage — and his defense of USC isn't really a defense, it's a theory of American sports geography. Big cities belong to pro teams. Mid-sized cities belong to college. Small towns belong to Friday nights. LA has been paying that tax since the Rams and Chargers moved in, and USC already conceded the point when it shrank the building and added suites. It's not an excuse, it's a reason. Then the part the attendance story buried: true freshman Trent Mosley looked like a first-team All-American in his first college game, and Lincoln Riley emptied the bench on purpose, because September is for getting a very young roster ready for Oregon, Washington, Penn State, Ohio State and Indiana. Colin also explains why he thinks USC, Ohio State and Texas all have schedules too brutal to survive, why Notre Dame and Miami is his national title call — twice — and why he'd take the Longhorns at home against the Buckeyes. Plus NFL Week 1: the Colts as a live home dog, why Jacksonville could bury Cleveland, whether Denver's 14-win magic regresses, and why Goodell's London talk is a stadium-leverage bat signal, not a real plan.

Number 3: Browns Should Start Shedeur, From The NFL Back To…College? JJ McCarthy Is A Bust, Seahawks Underrated?
Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” on The Volume. They start with the Browns & the stark contrast between Shedeur Sanders having an affable sideline interview and Deshaun Watson’s disaster of a press conference, and they agree that the Browns should start Shedeur (2:00). They also agree the Brown’s deal for Watson is the worst in league history (13:00). They move to JJ McCarthy’s disastrous performance in the Vikings second preseason game and Colin believes that if McCarthy can’t succeed with Kevin O’Connell… he isn’t going to succeed (14:30). They also revisit past quarterback draft classes and Colin finds that only 10% of them are franchise guys… showing the NFL may have a development problem with quarterbacks (21:30). They pivot to college football and the story of Dae’Quan Wright going from the Cleveland Browns back to LSU as proof that the NCAA is diminishing in power and keeps losing in court (30:00). They poke holes in the NFL Top 100 and the Athletic’s Top 25 Players Under 25, and Colin marvels at the Seahawks being overlooked as a potential back-to-back champion (40:00). They react to Joe Burrow’s comment about being tired of talking about “next year” and Colin argues that the Burrow could be burning out while languishing in Cincinnati, and that he shouldn’t sign with them again… but John offers some defense of the Bengals (55:00). Finally, Colin highlights all the amazing undrafted players who have popped in the preseason and marvels at the amount of football talent in America (1:04:00).

Number 4: Jayden Daniels vs. LSU, Mendoza’s Elite Intangibles, Simpson’s Stellar Debut, Can McCaffrey & Dart Stay Healthy?
Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” on The Volume. They start with Colin attending the Bears preseason win over the Browns and offer their biggest questions surrounding the Bears in Caleb Williams second season under Ben Johnson (2:00). They move to Ty Simpson having a great debut for the Rams in his first preseason game and Colin argues that young quarterbacks ending up with head coach like Sean McVay is like hitting the lottery, and that the Rams weren’t crazy to spend a first round pick on a quarterback while Matt Stafford is still the starter (8:00). They pivot to the 49ers and the highlight trend of Christian McCaffrey getting injured the year after leading the league in touches… which he did last season (16:30). They also wonder whether Giants QB Jaxson Dart will stay upright after getting smoked during their first preseason game after getting beat up last year (24L15). Colin argues that Fernando Mendoza’s intangibles and work ethic are going to further elevate the Raiders #1 overall pick (32:00). They wonder who gave Jayden Daniels the terrible advice to send a cease and desist to LSU over his former #5 going to another player (40:00) . They also laud Sam Darnold for becoming the leader of the Seahawks (48:00) and explain why buying the Seahawks may have been the best franchise purchase years (1:00:30).

Number 5: Cowboys Preview: Defense Without Parsons, Dak’s Elite Leadership, Expectations For Caleb Downs?
Colin is joined by Matt Mosley, Cowboys insider and host of the Doomsday Podcast. They start by revisiting the Micah Parsons trade, and discuss Micah’s role as a leader in the Cowboys locker room and why leadership didn’t come naturally to him (3:30). They break down how the Cowboys will use their prized rookie safety Caleb Downs and Matt explains why Downs could become one of their best defensive players but shouldn’t be expected to be the savior for the defense (8:15). They discuss Brian Schottenheimer outperforming expectations in the 2025 season, and what his secret sauce is as head coach (12:00). They laud Dak Prescott for his leadership skills and his ability to rise above the pressure of playing quarterback for the Cowboys (16:15). Matt breaks down the relationship between Cowboys fans and owner Jerry Jones during their decades-long Super Bowl drought (27:30), and they discuss Tony Romo’s recent troubles in his personal life and with CBS, and Matt shares some fun personal anecdotes about his times hanging out with Tony (32:00).
