Can the Ohio State Buckeyes repeat as national champions in the 2025 college football season? On this Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis go inside the numbers on attempted title repeats since the start of the BCS. That includes how many champs returned starting quarterbacks, lost coordinators and would have made an expanded 12-team playoff. There's a big picture discussion here about the challenges of repeating, and a smaller picture investigation of what the Buckeyes have back and need to navigate to do it. Also, time for another KOTN Showdown. This time it's a Big Ten vs. Big 12 battle as the guys decide if they'd rather be Rutgers or Kansas in 2025. Plus Whatcha Watching, Eating and Thinking. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

Can teams jump up to college football blue blood status, and can programs not considered blue bloods win national titles? That's one of the questions in this Ask KOTN mailbag on Kings of the North. This Monday show is not live because of the holiday, but we are glad you're here as Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis take questions and comments, analyze feedback on Ohio State noon games, and entertain suggestions for making the show even better. Thanks for joining Kings of the North, which will be back live on Wednesday at noon eastern on YouTube.

In the expanded College Football Playoff era, will conference depth matter more than it did before? And is the Big Ten ready to compete with the SEC when it comes to not only elite teams at the top, but better teams in Tiers 2 and 3? On this Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis look at the playoff history of conference depth, and come up with some surprising answers. Then it's 16 showdowns of the Big Ten and SEC, running from the top to the bottom of those conferences, to determine which has more elite teams and better depth. From Ohio State vs. Georgia, to Oregon vs. Alabama, to Michigan vs. LSU, to Illinois vs. Ole Miss, to Indiana vs. Tennessee, how does the Big Ten stack up? Finally, Whatcha Watching, Eating and Thinking wraps up the show. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

Which college football teams won the offseason? On this Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises is joined by Adam Rittenberg to run through offseason winners from Oregon to Utah, from Penn State to Illinois. Then it's onto another KOTN Showdown, as Doug and Bill Landis debate two teams with sophomore quarterbacks who could be ready to break out. That's Washington and Demond Williams Jr. and Nebraska and Dylan Raiola. Who would you rather be in 2025? But to start the show, Doug looks at the history of FOX broadcasting big games at noon, and what could or should be done about Ohio State fans feeling like the Buckeyes are on at noon too much. Doug has the numbers and a solution. Thanks as always for joining Kings of the North.

It's time for another college football KOTN Showdown as Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis pit BYU and Indiana against each other as upstarts from 2024 who are trying to, and could, continue their program momentum with runs at the playoff in 2025. Who would you rather be this season? But first, Doug is joined by Connor O'Gara of Saturday Down South. O'Gara has to admit that Doug is a genius for one of his takes last season, then it's a discussion of whether the South can admit that the North is now on the same level when it comes to college football winning and depth. Then a couple Southern teams to watch are discussed, including Alabama, Georgia and LSU. Finally, Doug and Bill wrap things up with Whatcha, including society's difficulty with Uranus. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

College football is considering a 16-team playoff, and to start this Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis break down what that would mean for the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC, and how it would affect fans from when it comes to scheduling and getting more great college football games in a season. Then it's the first KOTN Showdown of the offseason, as Doug and Bill compare two similar Northern programs and decide who they would rather be in 2025. To kick it off, it's a rematch of a College Football Playoff semifinal from 2025 and two programs with real national title goals -- Notre Dame and Penn State. Finally, the Bill Belichick mess at North Carolina leads to a discussion about what other teams can learn from it, and the audience chimes in on some Perfect QB and All-Transfer team picks from last week.

Which players from the 2025 transfer portal will be the stars that help shape Northern college football this fall? On this Kings of the North, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises look at the most impactful Northern transfers from 2024 to help get a handle on 2025. And then they run though the 23 Northern portal additions they think will make the biggest differences for their teams this season. That's receivers for Penn State and Iowa State, safeties for Oregon and Notre Dame, defensive linemen for Ohio State and Michigan, offensive linemen for Colorado and Michigan State, and more. Plus Whatcha Watching, Eating and Thinking. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

Michigan coach Sherrone Moore will be suspended for two games in the 2025 college football season, ESPN reported Monday. What's it mean for the Wolverines? Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis discuss it to open this Kings of the North. Then it's onto the heart of the show -- has your Northern college football team had a perfect QB in its history? Based on winning, stats, big plays and legendary aura, has the title of the best QB in your program's history been locked down? Or is it there for the taking? For our 28 Northern teams, the show theorizes that 15 of them have in fact had a perfect quarterback, 9 of them maybe have, and 4 of them have not and are wide open for that title to be taken. From Doug Flutie at Boston College to Marcus Mariota at Oregon, from debates at Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan to open opportunities at Illinois and Indiana, join KOTN for the search for the perfect QB.

Shedeur Sanders was the biggest story of the 2025 NFL Draft, but Quinn Ewers was the quarterback lesson that should have the greatest lasting effect on college football. On this Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis look at the one thing that did NOT happen in this draft for college quarterbacks and what that means for the future of third-year college football quarterbacks like Arch Manning and Sam Leavitt and for second-year quarterbacks like Julian Sayin and C.J. Carr. Is the entire landscape for college football quarterbacks changing even more than we realized? Then Doug and Bill look at the full numbers for the NFL Draft: That includes how the North did overall and some position groups where the North surprisingly won the draft and others where the South had the edge. Finally, it's some other lessons, including one about what happened with draft picks, or lack of picks, for BYU and Utah and what that means for the 2025 season. It's what the draft means for college football, not what college football means for the draft, and it's all here on Kings of the North. Thanks for joining us.

The SEC and the South used to dominate the NFL Draft. But those days are over -- though not many people will tell you the truth about that. On Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis explode Southern draft myths while explaining how the Northern talent wave is already here and will continue. From development to keeping North talent home, they dive into the reasons this is happening. Then from Michigan and Ohio State to Iowa State, Penn State and Notre Dame, they look at the biggest stories in the 2025 NFL Draft in the North -- including a run of very interesting quarterbacks. Bradley Locker of PFF.com also stops by to explain some of his recent research that revealed SEC draft busts. Then the guys run through the most productive Northern draft teams of the last decade, and those that are in a drought. Finally, it's Whatcha Watching, Eating and Thinking. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

The transfer portal window for the spring is wide open in college football, and Kings of the North isn't looking just at what's happening, but at what are the right ways to go about winning in the portal. On this KOTN, from Oregon, Indiana and Colorado relying heavily on transfers last year, to Iowa, Utah and Iowa State barely doing anything in the portal a year ago, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis run through all the numbers and results from Northern teams in the portal in 2024 to find what lessons should be learned. Who's doing the same thing this year, and which teams are changing their portal strategies? Plus Max Olson of ESPN.com visits to share his portal knowledge on how important the spring widow really is, what teams are doing the best job in the portal, which positions have the most value and whether the Nico Iamaleava transfer from Tennessee to UCLA is a one-off or a sign of things to come. As always, thanks for joining Kings of the North.

Michigan true freshman Bryce Underwood seems poised to seize the starting job for the Wolverines in 2025, and if he does, where might he fit in the hierarchy of best college football quarterbacks? On this Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis look at and take apart the consensus rankings of the best returning quarterbacks in college football. Southern QBs are overrated and too many Northern quarterbacks are left out. But more importantly, young quarterbacks across the North from Michigan to Notre Dame to Ohio State to Oregon to Maryland are poised to potentially make big leaps this year and shake up the quarterback landscape. Underwood tops that list, and the guys then dive into the recent history of true freshmen starting quarterbacks and find eight in the last decade that might serve as the best comparisons for Underwood. Among them -- Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert and Lamar Jackson. Finally, it's Whatcha Watching, Eating and Thinking. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

Ohio State has created an receiver pipeline and it's a huge part of the Buckeyes' success. How do they do it, what can other teams learn from it, what other teams have been elevated by great receiver play, and do your NEED great receivers to win at the highest level in college football? On this Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis dive into the stats and strategies of dominating a position group, while looking at teams like Penn State, Notre Dame, BYU, Iowa State, Syracuse, Clemson and others in the process. Then it's a visit with Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck, who talks about the Gophers' playoff aspirations, how much Koi Perich might actually play on both sides of the ball, the development of the quarterback room, and their strategy for retaining and developing talent in the NIL and portal world. Finally, it's a discussion of which Northern teams should possibly be interested in adding Tennessee transfer quarterback Nico Iamaleava and whether his move is a huge shift in college football or a one-off. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

What college football teams are already locks for the 2025 College Football Playoff? What teams are the greatest contenders to be the next Indiana, SMU or Arizona State to come from off the radar? On this Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis each drop three locks and three dark horses for this season. Plus, there's news from around college football on a 5-star receiver prospect reaffirming his pledge to Ohio State, a couple teams beefing up in the trenches, BYU wrapping up spring football, and Kirby Smart complaining about something else.
