CBS Sports' Shehan Jeyarajah joins 365 Sports to break down the wide-open 2025 Heisman race — and why this year may be the toughest to predict in recent memory. From LSU's Garrett Nussmeier to South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers, Shehan explains why top-tier talent is scattered across teams with stacked rosters, making it hard for one player to stand out. He also defends preseason polls, pushes back on critics like Adam Rittenberg, and explains why they're actually good for college football — helping highlight under-the-radar teams like Kansas State and Iowa State. Plus, what Oklahoma State fans need to hear about Mike Gundy's place in the Big 12 coach rankings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Shehan Jeyarajah, college football writer for CBS Sports, returns to the show to join Alex and Richard for a meaty preview of the Big 12. You may enjoy Shehan's recent report on the details behind Texas Tech's NIL boom. In this preview:* Arizona State loses Cam Skattebo but still has so much returning from a team that nearly made the playoff semifinals* Iowa State has questions … and probably answers* Cincinnati likely has its best team under Scott Satterfield, which isn't saying a ton but could still be fun* Colorado probably (famous last words) will be less of a media circus* Baylor has huge upside with a full year of Sawyer Robertson at QB* Kansas State needs a less sloppy season from Avery Johnson* BYU's linebackers rock, but the QB situation does not* Oklahoma State asks: Does Mike Gundy have one last job in him?* UCF reunites with Scott Frost but may find that the world has changed* Texas Tech spent millions of dollars on the No. 2 transfer portal class. Shehan explains the nuts and bolts of how the Red Raiders are trying to get a bang for their buck, and the group talks about reasonable expectations* WVU has Richard deeply intrigued as Rich Rodriguez comes home* TCU can't waste a quarterback like Josh Hoover* Kansas has Jalon Daniels back, a solid defense, and medical questions* Houston brings on Conner Weigman, who's hoping for a better second act* Arizona might no longer be the offense-first dynamo we thought they were* Utah should be much better … but how much better?We then award Big 12 preseason awards such as the Split Zone Duo Dude of the Year, the Low-Key Cool Game of the Year, and the Coach Who's Most Likely Not to Return.
