Episode Details

Can Kentucky or Vanderbilt become the SEC’s Indiana and stun college football with a national title run? Chris Gordy and a panel of Locked On hosts debate which SEC underdog could rise next, spotlighting the paths for Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Florida, Auburn, and dark horses like South Carolina and Mississippi State. The crew analyzes the impact of coaching hires like Pete Golding and John Sumrall, the transfer portal’s influence, and why quarterback evaluation—highlighting names like Trinidad Chambers, Deuce Knight, and Lenora Sellers—defines championship potential. The conversation also unpacks top SEC portal additions, including Cam Coleman and Jaheim Otis, examines flawed transfer rankings, and reacts to On3Sports’ way-too-early Top 25. Can Texas, Georgia, or Lane Kiffin’s LSU live up to preseason hype? With offensive lines, star quarterbacks, and coaching strategy in the spotlight, the SEC landscape looks more unpredictable than ever.
