Episode Details

The Locked On College Football Live Squad Show reacts to another wild week of games including Florida getting wrecked by Missouri, USC surviving Washington, and Houston avoiding an upset in front of a far too empty home stadium in the Big 12.

Missouri dismantle Florida with Austin Simmons commanding the offense—are the Tigers emerging as SEC contenders while Eli Drinkwitz’s job security soars past Lincoln Riley’s? Spencer McLaughlin leads a spirited debate alongside Parker Ainsworth, Matt Fontana, John Miller, and Steven Willis, breaking down Missouri’s dominant ground game, Florida’s defensive collapse, and dramatic coaching storylines across the nation.

The crew analyzes Houston’s odd homefield atmosphere, Miami’s ACC supremacy, and the perennial controversy swirling around the AP poll and College Football Playoff selection process. Should deserving teams or the best field make the cut? Heated discussion follows on playoff expansion, Power 5 versus Group of 5 access, and how ranked wins shape postseason narratives. Don’t miss these candid insights into Mizzou’s rise, Miami’s injury woes, and whether regular season showdowns still matter in the rapidly changing college football landscape.
