The 2025 college football season will kick off with one of the biggest games of the year in week one inside Ohio Stadium, as two of the best teams in the nation square off. When the Texas Longhorns take on the Ohio State Buckeyes, both teams will be breaking in new quarterbacks with impressive recruiting pedigrees, with Arch Manning leading Texas, and either Julian Sayin or Lincoln Kienholz quarterbacking the Buckeyes. What are some areas to watch when those talented teams square off? Brett Ciancia of PickSixPreviews.com joins host Tom Orr for a Texas vs. Ohio State preview, as well as a look at some of the other national title contenders that could come out of the Big Ten. Is this the year that James Franklin and Penn State finally get over the hump to beat OSU, win the Big Ten, and even the national championship? Is Oregon destined for a step back following its run to the conference championship and No. 1 ranking in 2024? Will Michigan's freshman phenom QB Bryce Underwood be ready for prime time when the bright lights come on?And which College Football Playoff contender could be headed for a surprisingly tough season?You'll hear about that and much more in this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast. And make sure you check out Pick Six Previews at www.PickSixPreviews.com

On the Friday sports edition of 'Will Cain Country,' Will is joined by “The Film Guy,” Brooks Austin to dive into the upcoming college football season, starting with the biggest name of them all: Arch Manning. Brooks says Arch has the poise, arm talent, and command of Steve Sarkisian's offense to be special, easily a better upgrade over Quinn Ewers.  They also run through the national QB landscape: why LaNorris Sellers might be the best quarterback in the country, how LSU's Garrett Nussmeier could break out, and why Oklahoma may be in trouble despite bringing in a big-name coordinator. Brooks offers his playoff picks in addition to his surprise teams to watch. Also, can James Franklin finally win a big one at Penn State? Don't bet on it. Will then talks with Cody Campbell, Texas Tech Chairman of the Board of Regents, member of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, & Nutrition, and Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Double Eagle Energy Holdings, about how to fix college sports. Campbell warns that without serious reform, NIL and over-professionalization will kill Olympic and women's sports. But with the right leadership and cooperation, he's confident college athletics can be saved, and Texas Tech, he hints, is just getting started.

Bob wasn't surprised by who the Pirates traded and David Bednar took pictures in the stadium before their road trip. Bob thinks trading Ke'Bryan Hayes opens the door for the Pirates to sign someone in the offseason. Henry Davis is hitting .175 and no one can understand how he hits .300 in the minors, but can't hit in Pittsburgh. What should the expectations be for Penn State?

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Bob wasn't surprised by who the Pirates traded and David Bednar took pictures in the stadium before their roadtrip. Bob thinks trading Ke'Bryan Hayes opens the door for the Pirates to sign someone in the offseason. Andrew Heaney, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Tommy Pham are still here and will be free agents after the year. IKF has five extra base hits since the beginning of June. Will Paul Skenes speak out to the Pirates with his frustrations?

Bill opened the show by explaining why he believes the Washington Commanders need to pay Terry McLaurin before giving props to Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham for defending Caitlin Clark. Bill ended the first hour by issuing a warning to Arch Manning about the dangers of entering the NFL Draft after starting just one year in college. Bill opened the second hour of the show by breaking down the biggest winners and losers from the MLB trade deadline with World Series champion Rob Dibble before reacting to the breaking news that Cowboys star Micah Parsons is considering asking a trade away from Dallas. Buy or Sell featured questions about whether the Chargers should be the most aggressive team in pursuing a trade for McLaurin and if the Padres are the biggest threat to the Dodgers in the NL. The show ends with Bill crowning this week's Bum of the Week.

We dive into the Big Ten with the second part of our three-part conference preview series, breaking down nine teams with detailed previews of the conference's contenders and most compelling storylines. From the Penn State hype train to Purdue's "Pastrami of the Big Ten," we give you enough to be dangerous around the water cooler. In this college football podcast episode, we examine Ohio State's championship odds with new coordinators Brian Hartline and Matt Patricia, debate whether Julian Sayin can handle the pressure in Week One against Texas, and wonder if the Buckeyes can overcome so many new variables. We break down James Franklin's "Phil Collins" moment with a loaded roster of veterans, a splash hire of Jim Knowles to run the defense, and a schedule working in their favor. We analyze Oregon's talent-heavy retooling under Dan Lanning, questioning whether Dante Moore and a loaded-but-unproven roster can match last year's success. Plus, we debate Michigan's ceiling with true freshman Bryce Underwood potentially starting behind a rebuilt offense, and examine the fascinating battle between Illinois' experience-heavy roster and Indiana's portal-powered reload under Curt Cignetti. We also explore Maryland's youth movement with four-star freshman Malik Washington, Northwestern's impossible schedule in their temporary lakefront stadium, and Purdue's complete roster overhaul under Barry Odom, featuring 69 new players and the "most erotic sandwich potential" in college football. Can Penn State finally beat Ohio State when they matter? Can Ryan Day get the Michigan monkey off his back? This is your comprehensive guide to the most intriguing storylines and burning questions in the Big Ten's upper crust.

Penn State was picked to win the Big Ten in 2025 by the league's media, but to do that, they will very likely have to get over a hurdle they have struggled to clear for close to a decade - beating the Ohio State Buckeyes. In this special bonus episode, you'll hear Penn State head coach James Franklin's thoughts on what it will take to beat the Buckeyes this fall in Columbus, as well as the impact that former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles is having after taking the same role with the Nittany Lions, and more.

The Buckeyes answered questions about the battle for the starting quarterback position, the race to find replacements for 14 players who were selected in the NFL Draft and more. But the Buckeyes also had a lot to say about their archrivals, the Michigan Wolverines, and this year's Big Ten conference favorites, the Penn State Nittany Lions. In this special bonus episode, you'll hear everything Ohio State players and coaches had to say about Sherrone Moore's Michigan football team and James Franklin's Penn State football team.

It has been "close, but no cigar" for the Penn State Nittany Lions for close to a decade against Ohio State. James Franklin's program hasn't beaten the Buckeyes or won the Big Ten since 2016, but with senior QB Drew Allar, a veteran offensive line, and the dynamic RB duo of Katron Allen and Nick Singleton all back, this could be the year the Lions end that streak.Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr of BuckeyeHuddle.com discuss what they learned while talking to Franklin, Allar, and the Nittany Lions on Wednesday at 2025 Big Ten Media Days.

The Big Ten preseason poll is out, and Penn State has been picked for the No. 1 spot. On this episode, Jason Whitlock breaks down the rankings and argues that Nittany Lions head coach James Franklin is over-rated and will not, despite the hype, be winning the Big Ten championship. Franklin, who Whitlock labels the "Great Black Hope,” is the conference's Gerry Cooney: The wins on his record have been racked up against such non-heavy hitters as SMU and Boise State, while his teams' performance against top teams has been pitiful. PSU rival Ohio State is another Big Ten favorite, and Franklin's teams have a 1-10 record against the Buckeyes and eight straight losses. Later in the show, Whitlock discusses Jerry Jones' latest eyebrow-raising press conference and how the 82-year-old is now an old man incapable of not speaking the truth. Whitlock revisits the list of nominees for Purple Hearts earned by combating woke sports, as well as sports-fan demands submitted by listeners (and some they rejected). In the wake of The Cosby Show actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner's untimely death, Whitlock rounds out the show with a can't-miss rundown of the greatest-ever black sitcoms. It's a jam-packed show today with tons of entertaining information! ​​Today's Sponsors: Pre-Born PreBorn's Network of Clinics provides free ultrasounds to women with unplanned pregnancies and not only do they save lives but they love and care for these hurting women.
