By now, you're quite familiar with the big names. Arch. Trinidad. Gunner. The SEC is stocked with an impressive collection of quarterbacks for 2026. But, even as the headline stars suck up a lot of oxygen, we detect a handful of quarterbacks flying below the radar who could be poised for big seasons. On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams highlight four SEC quarterbacks who are not being talked about enough. Allow us to generate some hype. The list includes three transfers, plus a young quarterback who became a starter toward the end of last season. Later in the episode, the hosts react to Tennessee's Josh Heupel saying he'd support at 24-team playoff. Is that really a champion's mentality, or do coaches who like a 24-team playoff just crave extra job security?

Coach is joined by Jimmy Hyams to react to the quarterfinals and discuss the offseason overhaul at Tennessee. Hyams expresses surprise at Alabama's lack of a running game, noting they ran only eight called run plays against Indiana, who became the only team in the last two years to win a playoff game coming off a first-round bye. The conversation shifts to Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, whom Hyams claims he would vote as the Heisman winner if he could re-cast his ballot, sharing the story of how Lane Kiffin's staff discovered him while watching film on a Division II opponent. Finally, they dive into the changes at Tennessee, where Josh Heupel has fired three assistant coaches and the defensive coordinator following a poor defensive showing against Illinois in the Music City Bowl.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The conversation then shifts to Tennessee, where Coach gives his honest take on Josh Heupel’s massive coaching staff overhaul. Heupel fired both coordinators and several assistants after a season marred by fundamental defensive failures, with Coach bluntly stating the Vols were a "terrible tackling team" in 2025. Tony and Charles both credit the transfer portal and NIL for leveling the playing field, citing Indiana’s rise and Texas Tech’s success as proof that "if you have the right head coach and funding," any program can compete for a national title.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
