Texas A&M and Oklahoma shake up the SEC recruiting landscape, seizing the top spots, while Alabama plummets to an unexpected last place—raising alarm bells across college football. Are the days of Crimson Tide dominance fading, or will Kalen DeBoer's new approach pay off? Brian Smith examines key trends behind Florida's rapid rise under John Sumrall, the impressive Texas class, how Georgia is slowly rising, and the high-stakes NIL arms race fueling roster building. Top storylines include Texas A&M's blue-chip surge, the Longhorns' and Gators' aggressive recruiting moves, and whether Alabama's smaller, less star-studded class signals a long-term power shift. The episode also spotlights Auburn's hot streak, the impact of five-star defensive line recruits across the SEC, and in-depth listener Q&A on NIL payout strategies and Georgia's demanding football schedule. Who's next to commit, and will the NIL era create a new SEC hierarchy? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.

“The Film Guy” Brooks Austin joins The Next Round to break down two of the biggest conversations in college football: the hottest coaching seats in the country and who has the best QB room over the next four years? Brooks gives his full perspective on which college football coaches are under the most pressure heading into the season, including a deep dive on Florida State head coach Mike Norvell. Does Norvell have ANY chance to save his job at FSU, or has the situation in Tallahassee already reached the point of no return? The guys also discuss Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian and the pressure to win now with, arguably, the most loaded roster in college football. With Texas entering the season with massive expectations, how much pressure is Sark really under to deliver a championship-level year? Plus, Brooks explains why he trusts Kalen DeBoer to get the quarterback position right at Alabama. Can the Crimson Tide continue to develop elite QB play in the post-Nick Saban era? And where does Alabama rank among the top quarterback rooms in college football over the next four years?

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the College Football 27 cover reveal with Curt Cignetti and Malachi Toney becoming the faces of Dynasty Mode energy in real life, from Indiana's shocking rise into a national football brand to Miami getting its personality back with a local star leading the comeback. JT also explains why Joel Klatt is wrong about Alabama and why the Crimson Tide decline narrative ignores what Kalen DeBoer has already proven, how Alabama is being judged against Nick Saban's ghost, and why Miami should win the ACC with Darian Mensah, Mario Cristobal's recruiting, and a roster that should be too talented for the rest of the conference. Plus, JT breaks down why Florida isn't a sleeper anymore under John Sumrall, why Eric Weddle's criticism of Bryce Underwood may be way too early, how Ohio State still sets the Big Ten standard despite Indiana, Oregon, USC, Michigan, Iowa, and Nebraska trying to close the gap, and why Kentucky could be entering a sleeping giant moment with Will Stein bringing new belief, offensive upside, and real investment to the Wildcats.

On this episode of The JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the idea that Alabama's downfall is a lie and explains why Kalen DeBoer may still have the Crimson Tide positioned as a national championship contender despite impossible Nick Saban comparisons. JT also breaks down why Florida State kept Mike Norvell, whether the Seminoles' roster spending says more about money or lost belief, and how FSU's booster situation could shape the future of the program. Plus, JT discusses how Ohio State helped the Big Ten catch the SEC, why Indiana's perfect 16-0 national championship season may only be the proof of concept for Curt Cignetti's build, and why Will Muschamp could be the biggest reason Texas wins the Natty with Arch Manning leading the offense. JT also gives his college football breakout players to watch, including Keelon Russell, Dallas Wilson, Devin Sanchez, Bryce Underwood, Daniel Hill, Marquise Lightfoot, Waymond Jordan, Bryce Young, Marcus Stokes, and Jaime Ffrench Jr.

Lane Kiffin is now at LSU, Kalen DeBoer is leading Alabama into a new era, and college football is changing fast. Jake Coker and Mick Gillispie break down the biggest stories across college football, recruiting, Alabama football, LSU football, Ole Miss, and the latest NCAA rule changes. The guys react to Lane Kiffin's comments about recruiting in Mississippi, the challenges tied to history, perception, and program identity, and how his time at Ole Miss changed the Rebels' national profile before his move to LSU. They also discuss Kiffin's career as one of college football's most fascinating coaches — a proven winner with a controversial past and massive expectations in Baton Rouge. Jake Coker also weighs in on Steve Sarkisian's “basket weaving” comments, the reality of academics in college football recruiting, and his own experience graduating from Florida State in three years while balancing life as a quarterback. The conversation then shifts to Alabama football, where Coker and Gillispie discuss why the Crimson Tide brand remains bigger than any one coach, even Nick Saban. They explain why Kalen DeBoer's professional, business-like approach could fit perfectly in Tuscaloosa, why his quarterback recruiting matters, and why Ty Simpson's intelligence and accuracy could be key for Alabama's future. Plus, the guys break down major NCAA rule changes, including the new targeting suspension policy and the rare fair catch free kick/field goal rule that could create wild end-of-game moments.

Jake Coker and Mick Gillespie are back with a wild mix of college football talk, competitive eating stories, NIL drama and celebrity encounters. Mick shares the unbelievable story of officiating a bologna-eating contest where Joey Chestnut crushed 16 pounds of bologna in eight minutes to set a new world record. The guys also revisit Chestnut's rivalry with Kobayashi, including Joey's dominant 83-66 win in their 2024 Netflix showdown. Then the conversation shifts to college football, where Alabama's win total is getting attention. MGM has the Crimson Tide set at 8.5 wins, but is that too low for Kalen DeBoer's team — or realistic with Georgia, Tennessee, LSU and a brutal SEC schedule ahead? Jake and Mick also discuss Alabama landing four-star linebacker Kenneth Simon II, the positive buzz around Kane Wommack's defense, and what Jake is hearing through the grapevine about the Crimson Tide. Plus, the guys break down Lane Kiffin's Vanity Fair comments on Ole Miss, his move to LSU, the pressure inside Baton Rouge and whether LSU's NIL machine can help Kiffin finally challenge Alabama at the top of the SEC. Also on the show: Mick's Tim Burchett story, UFO disclosure talk, the cutthroat NIL landscape, schools struggling to meet financial guarantees and Arkansas cutting its men's and women's tennis programs.

In this episode:0:00: Why Alex and Godfrey disagreed two years ago 5:14: What DeBoer's extension says about Greg Byrne's bet and Alabama's appetite for patience after an uneven first two years.10:28: Alabama's roster-building question: Is high school recruiting just going really well, or are they poor, or is it a bit of both? 20:38: Godfrey on the psychology of SEC donors spending money on football players, and why it's better for Ole Miss than Alabama 52:23: The archival add-on: Alex's special episode from 2021 on what “gameday home” condo purchases do to SEC towns Producer: Anthony Vito
On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to why a 24-team College Football Playoff would be bad for the sport and how playoff expansion could hurt the regular season, protect blue blood programs, create more blowouts, and push college football further toward an NFL-lite product. Miami is reloading in the trenches under Mario Cristobal, but can the Hurricanes replace Francis Mauigoa, Rueben Bain, and Akheem Mesidor without taking a major step back up front? JT also breaks down why the Patriot Way may be failing at North Carolina under Bill Belichick, whether Bobby Petrino can save UNC's offense, and why Alabama is trending up in year three under Kalen DeBoer as the Crimson Tide continue recruiting at an elite level. Plus, JT discusses why the Jeremiah Smith hate isn't real, how Ohio State's superstar WR prospect is being judged against WRU legacies, and Lane Kiffin explaining the real reason he left Ole Miss for LSU.

Alabama, thanks to a pair of Luke Vaughn home runs and a seven-inning, one-run start from Tyler Fay, takes a big step towards hosting an NCAA Tournament regional with a road win that got the Crimson Tide to 14-11 in the league. Arkansas also moved to 14-11 in the SEC with a 12-2 win over Oklahoma; the Razorbacks' RPI moved from 30 to 27 and inched them closer to the hosting conversation.

Where does Jake Coker stack up among Alabama's best single-season passing leaders — and what does that list say about the evolution of Crimson Tide football? On this episode of Last Call, the guys break down Alabama's all-time single-season passing yard leaders, including Bryce Young, Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa, Ty Simpson, Blake Sims, AJ McCarron, Greg McElroy, and Jake Coker. The conversation turns into a bigger look at the Nick Saban era, Alabama's championship standard, and why even a two-loss season felt like a disappointment under Saban. Jake Coker reflects on the 2015 national championship team, what made that group so hungry, and how Nick Saban shaped players beyond football through accountability, toughness, and leadership. The guys also discuss Derrick Henry's dominance, Saban's place next to Bear Bryant, and the challenge Kalen DeBoer faces as Alabama enters a new era. Plus, Coker shares stories on Byron Leftwich, Carson Palmer, the Senior Bowl, and his time in the NFL.

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart made waves with his comments about the state of modern college football — and Mick Gillespie and former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker are breaking it all down. Smart said the elite Alabama teams from 2012–2015 would “beat the dog out of” today's college football teams because of one major difference: depth. He believes the game itself has not changed as much as the rosters have, with today's programs forced to play younger, less-developed players because NIL, the transfer portal, and roster turnover have made it harder to build long-term depth. Jake Coker gives his perspective as a former Alabama quarterback who played under Nick Saban and lived the “Saban Standard” firsthand. Coker discusses how NIL and the transfer portal have changed the culture of college football, why he believes the sport now feels more like “semi-pro football,” and how the loss of player development, senior leadership, and locker-room brotherhood has changed the way championship teams are built. The conversation also dives into Coker's memories of Alabama practices under Nick Saban and Scott Cochran, including the extreme physicality, mental toughness, and internal accountability that separated the Crimson Tide during its dynasty run. Coker also shares a classic story about one of Saban's most intense practice rants and how Alabama's championship culture was built from the inside out. Are Kirby Smart and Jake Coker right? Would the best Alabama teams from the Saban dynasty dominate today's college football? Or has NIL, the transfer portal, and modern roster management simply changed the sport forever? Topics include:

Alabama football just landed a major commitment for the 2027 recruiting class as five-star quarterback Elijah Haven has committed to the Crimson Tide over Georgia, LSU and Auburn. Mick Gillespie and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker break down what Haven's commitment means for Kalen DeBoer, Ryan Grubb and the future of Alabama's quarterback room. Haven, a Baton Rouge standout and Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year, put up monster numbers with 3,931 passing yards, 62 touchdowns and nearly 1,000 rushing yards. Is Alabama building the next elite QB pipeline in college football? Plus, Jake Coker gives his thoughts on Ty Simpson's NFL Draft stock, why Simpson's accuracy, anticipation and football IQ could translate to the next level, and why Coker compares parts of his mental game to quarterbacks like Drew Brees and Tom Brady. The guys also discuss Alabama's biggest concerns heading into the future, including the offensive line, running back depth and the importance of winning up front. And finally, Mick and Jake recap their trip to the Flora-Bama Mullet Toss, where Mick claims a shocking upset win over Coker. Jake explains what went wrong, from a limp fish to a brutal headwind, and remembers the days when he could launch a football over 70 yards. Topics include:

Alabama athletics is at the center of a massive debate in this episode, from Nate Oats stacking Alabama Basketball with size and shooting to serious concerns about Alabama Football's physicality, recruiting, and ability to run the ball. We break down why Alabama Basketball fans should be excited about Oats' latest recruiting class, including multiple big men over 6'10" and a proven 40% three-point shooter from Boise State. On the football side, the conversation turns to whether Alabama is falling behind in the NIL era, with concerns that programs like Ohio State, Texas, and Miami are spending at a level the Crimson Tide may not be matching. With revenue sharing changing the sport and football rosters projected to cost $35–40 million, what does that mean for Alabama moving forward? We also discuss Pete Golding's move to Ole Miss and why his aggressive, all-in coaching mentality may be getting a different level of appreciation now than it did in Tuscaloosa. Plus, transfer portal and quarterback updates, including Ashton Daniels at Florida State and Jackson Arnold's move to UNLV. And yes, the conversation takes a wild turn into UFOs, missing scientists, FBI investigations, Bob Lazar on Joe Rogan, and a heated debate over the 1969 moon landing. If you follow Alabama Football, Alabama Basketball, SEC recruiting, NIL, transfer portal news, and college athletics, this is one you do not want to miss. #AlabamaFootball #AlabamaBasketball #NateOats #RollTide #CollegeFootball #TransferPortal #NIL #SEC #AlabamaFootball, #AlabamaBasketball, #NateOats, #RollTide, #AlabamaRecruiting, #NIL, #TransferPortal, #CollegeFootball, #CollegeBasketball, #SEC, #PeteGolding, #UFODebate, #MoonLanding, #JoeRogan, #BobLazar Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we cover a little bit of everything: a big upcoming event, Alabama football nostalgia, Ty Simpson's NFL Draft outlook, and why Keelon Russell has so many people excited about the future of Alabama Football. We start by previewing the 2026 International Mullet Toss, where the competition is once again on between us on Mullet Toss Saturday. With Pearl River Resort sponsoring the trip, the stakes are simple: head-to-head bragging rights, and the loser buys the winner a steak dinner at Philip M Steakhouse. From there, the conversation shifts into music and memories as we talk about Toby Keith and why his songs meant so much to us growing up, especially in the years following 9/11. Then we dive deep into Alabama football. We break down Ty Simpson's NFL Draft prospects, why his football IQ, mechanics, and mental processing stand out so much, and why one of us believes he may be the best quarterback in the entire draft despite some durability concerns. We also take a trip down memory lane and try to name every Alabama quarterback since Jay Barker, including starters, backups, forgotten names, and fan favorites from different eras of Crimson Tide football. Finally, we look ahead to the next chapter at quarterback, where Keelon Russell is emerging as the projected starter. We discuss his arm talent, touch, upside, and why his passing ability brings back comparisons to Tua Tagovailoa. This episode is packed with Alabama football talk, NFL Draft discussion, old-school QB memories, Toby Keith appreciation, and a preview of one of our favorite annual competitions. #AlabamaFootball #TySimpson #KeelonRussell #NFLDraft #RollTide #TySimpson, #KeelonRussell, #AlabamaFootball, #RollTide, #CrimsonTide, #NFLDraft, #NFLDraftBuzz, #AlabamaQB, #MulletToss, #InternationalMulletToss, #PearlRiverResort, #CollegeFootball Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode covers a little bit of everything: college football, Alabama basketball, and some of the wildest conspiracy theories ever discussed on the show. The conversation starts with college football, including a breakdown of some of the sport's most iconic helmets like Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Penn State, and why those classic brands still matter so much in the modern era. The discussion also dives into the value of a physical run game, the evolution of the RPO, and why controlling the line of scrimmage still wins games. From there, the focus shifts to Alabama football, where the spotlight is on the quarterback battle between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack. The hosts talk through Keelon's upside, athleticism, and long-term potential, while also discussing Austin Mack's experience and why the competition is worth watching closely. They also address growing concerns about the Alabama offensive line and why that group could determine just how high the Tide can climb this season. The episode also touches on the state of the Alabama basketball program, what fans should be watching moving forward, and how the conversation around Crimson Tide athletics continues to evolve. Then things take a turn into the bizarre with a deep dive into several conspiracy theories, including the 1969 moon landing, theories about extraterrestrial life and UFOs, and the strange disappearance of retired U.S. Air Force Major William Neil McCasland. It's a mix of sports talk, opinion, history, and off-the-rails debate that makes for a very entertaining episode. If you're into Alabama football, Alabama basketball, college football analysis, QB battles, offensive line talk, UFO theories, and strange unexplained stories, this is one you won't want to miss. #AlabamaFootball #BamaFootball #AlabamaBasketball #RollTide #KeelonRussell #AustinMack #CollegeFootball #SECFootball #QBbattle #NIL #UFO #ConspiracyTheories Learn more about your ad choices.
