Alabama football is back, and Last Call is breaking down everything surrounding the Crimson Tide's season opener against East Carolina at Bryant-Denny Stadium. How will Kalen DeBoer, Ryan Grubb and Alabama handle an ECU team coming off a nine-win season and a Military Bowl victory? And with the heat index potentially reaching 110–111 degrees in Tuscaloosa, could the weather become one of the biggest stories of Week 1? The guys dive into the biggest Alabama football questions entering the opener, including Keelon Russell's first start at quarterback, expectations for the Crimson Tide offense, the competition along the offensive line, Alabama's running back depth and whether the Tide can establish the physical running game they'll need once SEC play arrives. They also discuss Alabama's wide receiver room, the importance of explosive plays in Ryan Grubb's offense, what the Crimson Tide need to learn from these early-season “tuneup” games and why the first two weeks could be critical before Alabama faces Florida State. Plus, the conversation expands to the biggest controversy in college football: LSU, the SEC and the push to bring former professional players back into college football. Could the ongoing dispute lead to unprecedented action from the SEC? And what does the situation say about the transfer portal, NIL, player movement and the increasingly chaotic free-agency era of college football?

Florida State's first fall scrimmage is in the books, and Seminole fans have already entered the most important stage of preseason camp:Making completely reasonable, emotionally stable conclusions after a handful of practices.

Florida State football is officially close enough that practice reports can no longer hurt us.The Seminoles open the 2026 season against New Mexico State on August 29, and Mike Norvell is starting to narrow the rotation while taking back offensive play-calling duties. Ashton Daniels is drawing some preseason love, Malachi Marshall is making the QB2 competition spicy, and the offensive line says things are coming together.Which means only one thing:It is once again time for Florida State fans to irresponsibly develop hope.Tonight's Topics:

There is A LOT happening in women's soccer right now — and Episode 97 gets into plenty of it. Sam gives us a look at her new season with DC Power FC and the USL Super League, including what she's learning in a fast, physical 14-game season and what feels different from her experience in the NWSL. We also talk with Dr. Ashley Comer-Fontez, former Florida State standout and Washington Spirit COO, who is building something pretty special in Tallahassee with the Tallahassee Reckoning — creating more opportunities for players to develop and potentially stay closer to home. And then there's Samantha Johnson, GM of Brooklyn FC, who takes us behind the scenes of building a team, changing its identity and turning things around. She has some really interesting thoughts on where the league is headed — and why anyone can win. Plus, Rohtas and Sam get into the latest around the women's game, including the NWSL, USL Super League, player movement and a little Ted Lasso, because naturally we have to go there.

Fox Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the first games of the college football season as Week Zero officially kicked off the year. He begins by reacting to #14 USC's 16-point win over San Jose State and dives into whether Trojan fans should be excited or concerned with what they saw from the Trojans – and also gives his thoughts on the low fan attendance at the Coliseum for the opener. Klatt also discusses Bill Belichick's North Carolina team pulling off the upset of TCU and whether we may have jumped to a conclusion on the Belichick era in Chapel Hill too early. Klatt shouts out Virginia for their blowout win and evaluates their potential to be this year's Indiana in the ACC. Klatt also reacts to Memphis' upset win over UNLV and it's ramifications on the Group of 6 Playoff chase. He discusses Florida State's lackluster win and explains why FSU is not the power they once were and how things could be about to go off the rails in Tallahassee.Klatt wraps the show up by breaking down the latest eligibility issue in the sport as NFL players try to come back for one more year of college football, explaining how we got into this mess and where he stands on it – while pointing out a particular group that nobody's talking about that is being negatively impacted as a result.

On this epsiode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down whether North Carolina improved enough under Bill Belichick to make real progress after beating TCU and why a stronger defense, Bobby Petrino's offense, and Billy Edwards could make seven wins realistic for UNC. JT also explains why Florida State's 34-17 win over New Mexico State did little to ease the pressure on Mike Norvell, especially with SMU, Alabama, Louisville, and Miami looming. What does Lincoln Riley need to do to make USC the attraction again instead of relying on opponents like Oregon and Ohio State to fill the Coliseum? Plus, Marcus Stokes' journey from four-star Florida commit to Division II standout and now Memphis quarterback has JT wondering if College Football has found its next Trinidad Chambliss-type breakout story.

College football is officially back, and Week 0 gave us plenty to chew on before the season really gets rolling. We start with North Carolina getting some revenge on TCU in Ireland, then turn to Virginia's emphatic win over NC State and a huge opening performance from Beau Pribula. How much should we believe after one game, and which results actually changed the way we see these teams? From there, we work through USC's somewhat misleading final score against San Jose State, Florida State's uneven opener against New Mexico State and a late-night Memphis-UNLV game that may have made the Group of Six playoff race a little more interesting. We also discuss Stanford's dramatic finish against Hawaii and the very different FBS welcome parties for North Dakota State and Sacramento State. Plus, the return of college football meant the debut of some noticeable changes to the TV experience. We review ESPN's post-BottomLine world, the new on-screen indicator showing which announcer is speaking, a pronunciation controversy involving Beau Pribula and one moment of sweet Eastern Pennsylvania vindication.

The Tigers' dominant defensive front produced six sacks and helped reshape the early Group of Six College Football Playoff race.Virginia supplied the weekend's most complete performance, crushing NC State behind Bo Pribula, an experienced offensive line and a relentless rushing attack. The result raises expectations in Charlottesville while creating serious early questions for CJ Bailey and the Wolfpack.The rapid-fire reaction round covers Stanford's wild escape against Hawaii, Florida State's troubling performance against New Mexico State, USC's explosive start and defensive collapse, North Dakota State's dominant FBS debut and Sacramento State's unusual opener against Eastern Michigan.Gary also breaks down the most important Week Zero betting results: unders finished 6–2, favorites went just 4–4 against the spread and both outright underdog winners leaned on defense.

College football is officially back, and Joe and Hollywood preview some of this weekend's biggest games, including NC State vs. Virginia and UNC's season opener. The guys discuss the mess surrounding UNC since Bill Belichick took over and debate whether he'll even make it through the season. Plus, they discuss Mike Norvell's future at Florida State, break down Miami's schedule and look ahead to the Canes facing both UNC and FSU this season.

Week Zero has arrived, and the betting market is already moving dramatically across the eight-game college football slate. Gary examines the latest spreads, injury reports, quarterback decisions, betting splits and updated leans before Saturday's action begins.TCU is receiving overwhelming support ahead of its Dublin rematch with North Carolina, pushing the Horned Frogs close to a double-digit favorite. However, the history of unders and outright underdog victories in Ireland could make that movement dangerous.USC is laying nearly 40 points against San Jose State as Lincoln Riley begins a playoff-or-bust season with Gary Patterson running the defense. Virginia enters its ACC opener against NC State with an extensive injury report, while the Wolfpack arrive relatively healthy.North Dakota State and Sacramento State make their FBS debuts under completely different circumstances. The Bison host Jacksonville State inside an energized Fargodome, while Sacramento State travels three time zones to face an experienced Eastern Michigan team.Stanford attempts to avenge last season's loss to Hawaii while dealing with offensive-line concerns and significant market support for the Rainbow Warriors. Florida State's spread against New Mexico State has climbed beyond 32 points, creating a difficult decision for anyone who missed the earlier number.The night concludes with Memphis visiting UNLV in a potential Group of Six playoff eliminator. Neither program has officially settled its quarterback situation, but market money continues moving toward the Tigers.Gary also reveals his four-team underdog round robin and explains why quarterback announcements could still move several Week Zero lines before kickoff.

On Friday's edition of the Osceola's Seminole Sidelines, publisher Jerry Kutz and editor Bob Ferrante discuss what we are looking forward to watching on offense, defense and special teams in Florida State's opener on Saturday night. We start with thoughts on Ashton Daniels and the pass game before moving into the biggest question mark - the offensive line - and the ground attack.  When we flip over to the defense, we ask a big question: Can a lighter, quicker front defend the run better than a year ago? Jerry discusses his beloved linebackers and we reflect on a deep, talented secondary.  Last, can special teams be a strength for the Seminoles with specialists Gabe Panikowski and Daniel Hughes? Seminole Sidelines is sponsored by Alumni Hall and Grassroots Coffee. 

ESPN's Top 100 College Football Players list sparks controversy as major programs like Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida State, and USC are shockingly underrepresented. Are media biases shaping national perception—and which elite talents like Florida State's Duce Robinson and Notre Dame's Braunte Johnson as just a few of the overall examples. The conversation exposes inconsistencies in ESPN's rankings, questioning the logic behind power program omissions and the network's impact on college football narratives. The discussion shifts to NC State's matchup with Virginia, spotlighting CJ Bailey's NFL-caliber potential, Duke Scott's breakaway speed, and NC State's favorable schedule as possible factors in an ACC title run. Key matchups—like Virginia's veteran O-line against NC State's defense—take center stage, along with the broader issue of limited media access and its effect on coverage. Can the Wolfpack capitalize on their soft slate, or will another “what the heck” upset strike? Don't miss this critical breakdown and spirited listener debate. Support us by supporting our sponsors!

After an initial 16-0 vote, SEC presidents formally approved penalties 15-0 with LSU abstaining, establishing consequences for programs and coaches who put former NFL players on active college rosters.

Today, we sat down with entrepreneur and author Jordan Raynor, and honestly, we had so much fun reminiscing about Jordan's freshman year at Florida State that we practically skipped our own intro. Once we got past the twenty years of nostalgia, Jordan totally reframed how we look at our daily grind. We talked about why our Monday-through-Friday work has intrinsic value to God—meaning Dave's songwriting and Jon's upcoming Christmas shows are deeply sacred, not just secular. Jordan shared incredible, practical advice for staying present with our kids, like holding "stop-doing" meetings and converting our smartphones into temporary landlines. Our absolute favorite takeaway? The liberating truth that we can peacefully leave "unfinished symphonies" behind in this life because eternity is filled with purposeful, joyful work. So grab a seat in Dadville—you won't want to miss this episode!
