Episode Details

Big 12 contenders face season-defining showdowns as Arizona State battles Baylor's fierce defensive line and BYU looks to snap a decades-long losing streak at TCU. Can Cutter Boley rebound against Baylor’s relentless pass rush? Will BYU’s revamped offensive line hold up on the road? Hosts Jake Hatch, Philip Mulford, Chris Level, Cody Stovall, and JT Wister tackle these burning questions, breaking down key matchups including Texas Tech vs. Colorado and Arizona vs. Cincinnati.

The debate heats up on whether the Big 12 can secure more than one College Football Playoff spot amid narratives driven by SEC and Big Ten favoritism. Panelists question the impact of parity, strength of schedule, and high-profile early losses on playoff selection, while spotlighting teams like Oklahoma State and Utah as potential dark horses. Get the inside scoop on strategy shifts, must-win games, and which Big 12 squad might surprise as the league race tightens.
