Episode Details

Is Utah’s transition to the Big 12 going well? They break down why the Big 12 currently offers Utah the best shot at a playoff run, comparing it to other power conferences like the SEC and Big Ten. The hosts also analyze shifting conference dynamics and discuss which teams are poised to emerge as perennial contenders in the Big 12. Names like Texas Tech, BYU, Arizona State, and Utah are at the forefront. At the same time, traditional programs look to adapt to the changing landscape, especially in the era of NIL and private equity funding. Bowl season takes center stage, as J.T. Wistrcill and Brice Larson brainstorm ways to revitalize postseason play—including creative incentives and structural adjustments—to make bowl games more meaningful for teams and fans alike. Tune in for an insightful and entertaining take on the future of college football, Utah’s place in the new Big 12, playoff expansion debates, and everything you need to know about bowl season.
