Fox Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt defines what a successful season looks like for 15 of the most intriguing programs in the country. Is it truly National Championship or bust for teams like Texas, Ohio State or Notre Dame? What should LSU, Penn State and Michigan fans be happy with in Year 1 after coaching changes? Does USC's daunting schedule tone down expectations or does Lincoln Riley need to lead the Trojans back among the elite in the sport? Does Alabama need to adjust expectations in the post-Saban world or should Tide fans expect more from Kalen DeBoer's team this season? Klatt also breaks down teams like Wisconsin and Nebraska as they try to build their programs back to what they once were.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima open by dissecting the Michigan-Ohio State hate rivalry, debating whether Kyle Whittingham's measured comments about Ohio State are genuine or a "Trojan horse" compared to Jeremiah Smith's raw hatred of Michigan, with Albert Breer's warning that Whittingham's words will haunt him if he loses in November. The conversation pivots hard to the Browns, where Ken reveals that despite no one in local media wanting Deshaun Watson to win the starting job, he increasingly believes Watson will be "given" it out of camp over Shedeur Sanders. They play Mike Tannenbaum's blunt take that the Browns should cut ties with Watson entirely given his injury history and poor play, which Ken says just "preaches to the choir" of how locals already feel. Anthony notes the stark gap between local and national coverage, pointing out that national pundits barely mention Shedeur or the Browns at all, dismissing Cleveland's quarterback room as one of the league's worst regardless of who starts.
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze Shedeur Sanders' camp performance and the viral reports of him throwing through blisters. They debate the local and national perspectives on Deshaun Watson's future in Cleveland while exploring the intensity of the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry. 01:51 - Freiermuth and AFC North Update 02:57 - Shedeur Sanders' Hand Blisters 10:52 - Deshaun Watson Camp Performance 13:43 - Sherrone Moore and Rivalry Hate 19:04 - Urban Meyer's Rivalry Legacy 25:16 - National View on Deshaun Watson 33:13 - Two-Second Trivia Game 39:41 - NFL Broadcast Media Changes
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into Utah coach Kyle Whittingham's comments downplaying the significance of rivalry hate, arguing that emotion and hatred have historically decided big games like Ohio State-Michigan and that Whittingham's measured tone concerns them. The conversation shifts into a broader college football preview, with the two debating Ryan Day's hot-seat status entering the season given his 2-4 record against Michigan and Ohio State's brutal fall schedule against USC, Indiana, and Oregon. They also share old stories from their sports-media pasts, including run-ins with Charlie Weis and John Harbaugh, and close by hyping the September 12th Ohio State-Texas primetime showdown as a potential "Browns Bowl" distraction.

Keith Byars is one of the greatest running backs in Ohio State history—and one of the most memorable Michigan Killers. In this episode, we revisit Byars' performances against the Wolverines, from his first taste of The Game as a freshman to his legendary three-touchdown performance in 1984 that sent the Buckeyes to the Rose Bowl. We also look at his courageous return from injury in 1985 and why many Buckeye fans still believe he should have won the Heisman Trophy. Byars finished his Ohio State career with over 3,200 rushing yards, 46 touchdowns, and later became a College Football Hall of Famer. This is another chapter in our Michigan Killers series, celebrating the Buckeyes who made life miserable for the Wolverines.

Plus, FOX Sports Radio NBA insider Mark Medina swings by to discuss why the Los Angeles Lakers never got the chance to offer LeBron James a veteran’s minimum contract, why league executives are unsure about the new-look Philadelphia 76ers, the likelihood that we get some kind of resolution on the Kawhi Leonard investigation this summer, and much more!

Anthony Lima and the crew recap the Guardians' 6-1 win over the Reds, floating whether it's time to trade a red-hot Steven Kwan (.347 over his last 30 games) before poking fun at Kyle Manzardo's deadpan reaction to being named Ohio Cup MVP. They debate whether Cincinnati or Pittsburgh is Cleveland's real rival, noting Pirates fans overran the stadium on a recent visit while Reds fans have leaned classless in their trash talk, and wonder if realigned divisions (an "AL North" with Pittsburgh) could manufacture better rivalries. The conversation shifts to Big Ten Media Day, where USC's Lincoln Riley pushed for playoff expansion, and the hosts lament how the current 12-team format has already cheapened Ohio State-Michigan by proving a regular-season loss no longer dooms a title run. They close by griping that nobody actually wants an 18-game NFL season or a bloated college playoff, but both are coming anyway, before teasing a supposed positive, leadership-driven Browns moment from after practice.

They speculate that Ohio State–Oregon likely won't be Big Noon and could land at 3:30 on CBS, discuss how Notre Dame NBC windows, Big Ten Network obligations, and potential Peacock decisions affect placements, and project possibilities for early nonconference games, Texas in primetime, and Ohio State at Nebraska likely earlier to set up Michigan week.00:00 Welcome and Setup01:03 Big Noon Picks Explained01:55 Fox Week Draft Mystery03:50 Ohio State Oregon Time Guess04:46 Other Marquee Games06:20 Early Season Kickoffs08:38 Network Obligations Peacock10:39 More Schedule Clues Ahead12:47 Midseason Game Time Projections15:28 November Nights Nebraska18:23 Wrap Up and Subscribe
