    New CFB CEO, Rivalries at Risk & SEC 2025 Bounce-Backs | GSMC College Football Podcast
    May 20 2025
    Segment 1: The landscape of college football is shifting fast — and on this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down the biggest transformation yet: the creation of a College Sports Commission CEO. With the NCAA stepping back from traditional enforcement, a new power player is set to emerge with unprecedented authority over rules, penalties, and governance. Host Jake unpacks everything you need to know about this post-House settlement power shift, including what the CEO’s role will look like, how it could impact player salaries, recruiting, NIL, and why coaches and athletic departments are on edge. With deep analysis and insider insight, this episode is a must-listen for fans, journalists, and stakeholders navigating the billion-dollar college sports industry.Segment 2: Could we be witnessing the end of one of college football’s greatest rivalries? On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, host Jake dives deep into the uncertain future of the historic USC–Notre Dame rivalry, a series that has defined college football since 1926. With the final game of the current contract looming and no long-term agreement in place, we explore what’s holding USC back from committing and why Notre Dame is pushing for continuity. Is the expanded College Football Playoff to blame? Will travel demands and playoff positioning break tradition? We examine what Lincoln Riley, Marcus Freeman, and top administrators are saying, and why this decision could mark a turning point in the sport’s identity.Segment 3: The GSMC College Football Podcast dives deep into the top bounce-back candidates for the 2025 season! From Carson Beck’s redemption arc at Miami to KC Concepcion’s transfer to Texas A&M, we break down which stars are ready to rebound. We also spotlight Harold Perkins Jr.’s new role at LSU, Tacario Davis reuniting with Jedd Fisch at Washington, and Kaidon Salter’s high-stakes challenge at Colorado. Hosted by Jake, this episode offers expert analysis, recruiting buzz, and bold predictions that fans won’t want to miss. Whether you’re a die-hard SEC fan or a Pac-12 purist, we’ve got insights that matter.Segment 4: Is Ohio really about to ban noon kickoffs? In this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we dive deep into a new bill introduced by the Ohio General Assembly that could reshape the college football calendar. The proposed legislation would prohibit state schools like Ohio State from hosting home games before 3:30 p.m.—unless tradition says otherwise. With Fox’s Big Noon Saturday dominating the Big Ten media rights deal and Ohio State fans expressing frustration over early starts, the debate is heating up. Would this bill benefit fans, or is it just political theater? What does it mean for TV revenue, tailgating culture, and rivalries like OSU vs. Michigan?Segment 5: Where do Auburn, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and Florida stack up in the 2025 SEC power rankings? In this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down the next wave of contenders in the SEC and what could elevate—or derail—their seasons. Can Hugh Freeze unlock Jackson Arnold’s five-star potential at Auburn? Will Joey Aguilar carry Tennessee through a depleted offense? Is Marcel Reed the answer for Texas A&M under Mike Elko? And can DJ Lagway live up to Heisman hype in Gainesville? We analyze roster depth, quarterback situations, transfer portal impact, and key returners that could shape each team’s SEC trajectory.If you enjoyed this episode, follow us and subscribe to the show: you can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on any app that carries podcasts.

  • 2025 SEC Trouble? CFP vs NFL, Breakout Teams & 2-Way Stars | GSMC College Football Podcast

    2025 SEC Trouble? CFP vs NFL, Breakout Teams & 2-Way Stars | GSMC College Football Podcast
    May 19 2025
    Segment 1: The SEC is still college football's gold standard—but cracks are starting to show. On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we dive deep into the 2025 SEC landscape: Is Texas ready to take over behind Arch Manning? Can Georgia and Alabama bounce back? What’s going on with the quarterback play across the conference? Host Jake dives into the major offseason moves, transfer portal shakeups, and coaching hot seats across the South. From DJ Lagway at Florida to LaNorris Sellers at South Carolina and Diego Pavia at Vandy, we spotlight breakout candidates and top threats. Plus, we examine why the SEC has struggled on the national stage lately—and what must change for the conference to reclaim its dominance.Segment 2: We dive into the dark horses of the 2025 season — the teams set to shatter expectations. From BYU’s experienced core and dominant linebacker unit, to Florida’s resurgence behind DJ Lagway, we break down why these programs are poised for breakout success. Duke’s strong defense and Darian Mensah’s impact under center could make them the ACC’s biggest surprise, while Kansas State’s Avery Johnson looks ready to lead a serious Big 12 title run. Host Jake dives deep into strengths, schedules, and key X-factors that give these teams an edge heading into fall. Whether you're a hardcore fan or just prepping for your fantasy CFB league, this episode offers sharp analysis and can’t-miss insight.Segment 3: We sound the alarm on college football’s biggest postseason threat — the NFL. While power brokers debate seeding, byes, and home sites for the expanded College Football Playoff, they’re ignoring the looming shadow of the NFL’s Saturday schedule. Host Jake dives deep into the real issue: the NFL is cannibalizing college football’s biggest stage by airing key games during CFP matchups — and it’s crushing the ratings. With 15+ million viewers watching NFL games on the same day as first-round playoff matchups, is the CFP already losing the battle for fan attention? We break down how college football can push back, where the leverage lies, and why treating the NFL like a partner — not a bully — could be the key to long-term survival.Segment 4: Are two-way stars making a real comeback in college football? On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we explore the Travis Hunter Effect and the growing list of elite recruits — like Texas commit Jermaine Bishop, Notre Dame-bound Dallas Golden, and La Salle standout Joey O’Brien — who are poised to make major impacts on both sides of the ball. From explosive wide receiver stats to lockdown cornerback potential, these athletes are redefining versatility in modern college football. We break down how roster cap discussions under the House Settlement might accelerate this trend, and what it means for recruiting, depth charts, and player development. Whether you're a fan of recruiting buzz, player comparisons, or big-picture roster strategy, this episode has it all.Segment 5: On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we unveil our 2025 SEC Program Power Rankings, starting with Mississippi State, Kentucky, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, and Missouri. From Jeff Lebby’s talent-drained Bulldogs and Mark Stoops’ hot seat in Lexington to Brent Venables' overhaul at Oklahoma and Mizzou’s post-Burden/Cook identity crisis, we break down the key storylines shaping each program. Can Diego Pavia lead Vandy back to a bowl? Will Bobby Petrino’s run-heavy scheme save the Razorbacks? And could Beau Pribula be Missouri’s next breakout star? Whether you're a diehard SEC fan or a college football junkie tracking the nation’s top conference, this episode offers insider insights, analysis, and expert commentary.

  • Coaches on the Hot Seat + JUCO Bombshell + CFP Sleepers | GSMC College Football Podcast

    Coaches on the Hot Seat + JUCO Bombshell + CFP Sleepers | GSMC College Football Podcast
    May 16 2025
    Segment 1: On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, host Jake breaks down the red-hot pressure building around three of college football’s most talked-about coaches — Lincoln Riley, Mike Gundy, and Brent Venables. Just four years after a top-10 Bedlam showdown, all three coaches now find themselves at a crossroads. Has Lincoln Riley’s offense lost its edge in the Big Ten? Is Mike Gundy running out of time in Stillwater after his worst season since 2005? And can Brent Venables survive the SEC grind after a brutal first season and offensive collapse in Norman? We dive into their job security, season outlooks, transfer additions, and what’s at stake in 2025. Whether you’re a die-hard Sooners, Cowboys, or Trojans fan — or just love college football chaos — this is your go-to pod for unfiltered analysis and bold predictionsSegment 2: Host Jake dives into the landmark court case reshaping college football eligibility. Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia just made history by challenging the NCAA’s eligibility rules — and winning. After a federal injunction ruled that JUCO seasons shouldn’t count against NCAA eligibility, Pavia secured extra years of eligibility and changed the future for junior college athletes nationwide. We unpack the ripple effects this decision could have across recruiting, NIL deals, and the creation of a true college football minor league system. Could JUCO become the new prep pipeline? Are power programs about to fund feeder systems? Will this trigger a wave of legal challenges to the NCAA's remaining eligibility caps? This episode is your deep-dive into a turning point moment for the NCAA, JUCO football, and every player chasing NFL dreams. Segment 3: We spotlight the best Group of Five vs. Power Four matchups set to shake up the 2025 college football season. Can Boise State take down Notre Dame and crash the CFP party again? Will Tulane surprise Ole Miss despite major offseason turnover? What does Memphis vs. Arkansas tell us about rising AAC programs? And could UNLV pull a shocker against UCLA in Vegas to open the Dan Mullen era? These G5 vs. P4 showdowns are more than just early-season tests — they’re auditions for playoff dreams, draft stock boosters, and measuring sticks for realignment conversations. With high-stakes quarterback battles, loaded schedules, and major NIL implications, we break down the talent, context, and chaos potential in each matchup.Segment 4: Is Austin Simmons the future of Ole Miss football — or the next breakout star in college football? On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we dive deep into the fascinating journey of Ole Miss’ 19-year-old quarterback prodigy. From earning a bachelor’s degree before his first career start to training with NFL athletes at age 12, Simmons’ story is one of elite talent, tireless work ethic, and eye-popping potential. We explore how he skipped two grades, reclassified two recruiting classes early, starred on the baseball field, and now steps into the SEC spotlight as the Rebels' new starter. Can Simmons live up to the hype and be Lane Kiffin’s next great quarterback?Segment 5: Who’s ready to crash the College Football Playoff for the first time ever? On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we spotlight the programs positioned to make their CFP debut in 2025. Could Illinois ride a soft Big Ten schedule to an at-large bid? Is LaNorris Sellers the breakout star that pushes South Carolina into the national spotlight? What happens if Carson Beck transforms Miami into ACC champions? We’re also breaking down Rocco Becht’s title hopes at Iowa State, Avery Johnson’s dual-threat dominance at Kansas State, and DJ Lagway’s path to a playoff berth through an SEC gauntlet at Florida. Plus: Could Louisville shock everyone with Miller Moss under center?If you enjoyed this episode, follow us and subscribe to the show: you can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on any app that carries podcasts.

    May 15 2025
    Segment 1: On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, host Jake tackles the media firestorm surrounding Bill Belichick and his relationship with Jordon Hudson. From UNC’s denial of facility bans to viral interruptions during Belichick’s interviews, we unpack how the spotlight on his personal life is colliding with his mission to turn North Carolina into the "33rd NFL team."We explore the tension between college football culture and pro-style operations, how NIL debates factor into Belichick’s leadership, and why June 1 might be a turning point due to a critical $9 million buyout drop. Plus, we dive into UNC’s internal challenges, social media reactions, and Belichick’s future — whether that’s in Chapel Hill or back in the NFL.Segment 2: The GSMC College Football Podcast brings you the sharpest insights, hottest takes, and real-time reactions to the biggest headlines in college football. On this episode, we dive into the growing power struggle in the sport: the Big Ten and SEC's push for playoff control versus the rest of the Power Five. From Rep. Brendan Boyle's viral “#Greed” tweet to backlash from ACC and Big 12 coaches and athletic directors, we break down what a 16-team playoff could mean for the future of the CFP. Will the proposed 4-4-2-2-1 format widen the power gap or shatter parity forever? Segment 3: In this episode, we spotlight the freshmen primed to make immediate impacts in 2025. From Oregon’s Dakorian Moore — the next elite WR prospect — to Clemson’s explosive RB Gideon Davidson, these young stars are already turning heads.

In this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down the Illini head coach’s new six-year, $7.7 million-per-year contract extension and ask why he’s not getting the national recognition he deserves. With three Big Ten titles, 37 All-Americans, 12 NFL Draft picks at Illinois, and a résumé built under legends like Bill Snyder, Barry Alvarez, and Bill Belichick, Bielema’s resume speaks for itself. So why isn’t he a coaching darling? We examine his rebuild in Champaign, Illinois' 10-win 2024 season, and how continuity is powering the program’s rise.

    College Commission Incoming + Post-Spring Top 25 Reaction | GSMC College Football Podcast
    May 13 2025
    Segment 1: On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down President Donald Trump’s reported plan to form a presidential commission on college athletics. After meeting with Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa, Trump is considering an executive order to examine athlete compensation, NIL policy, transfer rules, and conference alignment—issues shaking the foundation of college sports.


    We explore what this means for the NCAA, the $2.8 billion antitrust settlement, and how Congress and the courts are shaping the next era of revenue-sharing and reform. Could a Trump-backed commission be the modern equivalent of Teddy Roosevelt’s NCAA founding moment? Hosted by the GSMC Sports Network and available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify, this episode delivers essential insight into how politics and sports are colliding in unprecedented ways.


    Segment 2: We dive deep into ESPN’s Post-Spring Top 25 and break down who’s ranked too high, who’s underrated, and what it all means for the 2025 season. Host Jake questions whether Clemson and LSU deserve top-six billing, explains why Georgia and Ohio State remain elite, and highlights surprise teams like Illinois and Indiana.


    With quarterback battles, portal movement, and major defensive overhauls shaping the college football landscape, we dissect every storyline you need to know. Are national title contenders being overlooked? Which teams are primed to break out—or bust?


    Segment 3: In this episode, we tackle one of the sport’s biggest questions: Is defense making a comeback? After a decade-long offensive explosion, scoring and yardage have dipped—especially among the nation's elite.


    We break down key data trends, dive into how new NCAA clock rules are impacting play counts, and explore whether smarter defensive scheming is finally catching up with high-flying offenses. Are offenses simply evolving, or has the era of 45-point shootouts come to an end? From the rise of man coverage to the decline of star quarterbacks, we unpack it all.


    Segment 4: We spotlight the biggest transfer portal pickups poised to reshape the 2025 college football season. From Trebor Pena’s game-changing arrival at Penn State to Jack Endries giving Texas a new security blanket for Arch Manning, we break down which transfers could make or break their new teams’ playoff hopes.


    We also dive into Max Klare’s sneaky upside at Ohio State, Miller Moss' shot at redemption at Louisville, KC Concepcion’s immediate fit in Texas A&M’s rebooted offense, and John Mateer’s mission to revive Oklahoma in the SEC. Whether you’re a fan, fantasy player, or just obsessed with the evolving transfer landscape, this episode is your definitive guide to the most impactful offseason moves.


    Segment 5: In this episode, we rank Big Ten quarterbacks #8–5 heading into the 2025 season. Will five-star phenom Bryce Underwood revive Michigan’s offense under new OC Chip Lindsey?

We break down the financial, competitive, and strategic implications for Greg Sankey and the conference, exploring how marquee matchups like Alabama–Tennessee and Texas–Texas A&M hang in the balance. Is this the turning point that finally pushes the SEC toward expansion? Or will Playoff uncertainty and bowl eligibility fears delay change once again? Hosted by the GSMC Sports Network, we also analyze the broader impact on CFP bids, conference partnerships with the Big Ten, and ESPN’s evolving role in shaping college football’s future.Segment 2: We explore the explosive rise of the General Manager role in college football. Once a behind-the-scenes title, the GM is now one of the most influential positions in an athletic department—shaping rosters, managing recruiting pipelines, building elite scouting staffs, and helping navigate NIL and transfer portal chaos. From Geoff Collins’ early innovation to Mark Pantoni’s blueprint at Ohio State, we trace how the GM evolved from a volunteer role to a multi-million-dollar powerhouse position. Hear how Texas Tech’s James Blanchard, Stanford’s Andrew Luck, and Florida’s Nick Polk are reshaping the sport and why this role could outlast head coaches in the modern era.Segment 3: We rank the Top 5 Head Coaches in the Big 12 and dive deep into why these leaders are shaping the future of the conference. From Kenny Dillingham’s stunning turnaround at Arizona State to Matt Campbell’s sustained success at Iowa State, we break down what sets these coaches apart. We highlight Kyle Whittingham’s defensive dominance at Utah, Kalani Sitake’s winning culture at BYU, and Chris Klieman’s championship-caliber consistency at Kansas State. Whether you're a die-hard fan, recruit follower, or just love smart college football talk, this episode gives you expert insights into the programs built for long-term success. Don’t miss this power ranking of the coaching elite in one of college football’s most competitive conferences!Segment 4: We revisit the loaded 2021 recruiting class to see where those once-hyped five-stars and top-100 players are now. From first-round NFL Draft picks like Caleb Williams and Emeka Egbuka to late bloomers like Quinn Ewers and journeymen like Korey Foreman, we break down which recruits lived up to the hype—and which didn’t. You’ll also hear about high-profile transfers, undrafted free agents now making waves, and the key stars still returning to college football for 2025. Whether you're tracking NFL Draft trends or recruiting wins and misses, this is your all-access look at the evolution of one of the most fascinating classes in recent memory.Segment 5: We continue our Big Ten quarterback rankings by breaking down the signal-callers ranked #13 through #9. From Preston Stone’s fresh start at Northwestern to Mark Gronowski’s FCS dominance now shifting to Iowa, we explore which QBs could surprise fans in 2025. Is Jayden Maiava ready to elevate USC’s offense under Lincoln Riley? Can Aidan Chiles rebound in Year 2 at Michigan State? And who emerges from Ohio State’s high-stakes QB battle featuring Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz?
