It's the first Litecast of 2025 with Austin Keeney and Dylan Coon on the mics. We start with a quick discussion on the Pop Tarts Bowl, and Dylan goes on the record about why he hates the CFP. Next, we recap Iowa State's wins over Colorado and Baylor. The team continues to impress and we still can't find a weakness. Chatfield is on fire. Everyone is playing their role perfectly. Otz even threw out our favorite proposed "death lineup". We also take stock of the Big 12 at this point of the season, and it seems there are 3 teams that are a step ahead of everyone else. We finish up with discussing our favorite mid majors. Austin fell down an OVC rabbit hole. 98.3 The Vibe can no longer block us on Twitter. And finally, Dylan leads us on the first Nets Minute of the year.
