On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down the chaos building in college football heading into 2025. Florida State has to deal with Thomas Castellanos and an Alabama defense that's built like a war machine — and Nick Saban ain't coming to save them. Jeremiah Smith threw out a promise he's not built to keep, and South Carolina is once again being slept on like they haven't burned Vegas before. Oklahoma's haters want the SEC to erase them, but there's too much power and money in Norman for that to ever stick. And Florida? DJ Lagway isn't even the scariest part of that roster anymore. Plus, JT calls out Paul Finebaum for gassing Arch Manning with Cam Newton-level praise — and why that could backfire badly.
