Excited to be joined by JP Acosta, staff writer at SB Nation covering both the NFL and college football. We kick things off with the NFL—J.P. breaks down how Jacksonville’s new-look staff could reshape the franchise. We also dig into Michael Penix Jr.’s rookie tape, the impact of Frank Ragnow’s surprise retirement in Detroit, and which NFL minicamp holdouts could shake up the NFL landscape.

Then we shift to college football and J.P.’s preseason Big Ten power rankings. Why he put Oregon at No. 1, what gives Penn State the edge in 2025, and how big the red flags are at Ohio State and USC. We dive into breakout candidates like QB Aidan Chiles at Michigan State, the potential of QB Demond Williams at Washington, and the pressure on Lincoln Riley at USC.

Plus, which team is most likely to outperform expectations, why Illinois at No. 4 raised some eyebrows—and what J.P. sees that others might miss. We also highlight 5 CFB transfers who could dramatically boost their 2026 NFL Draft stock.

Don't miss this wide-ranging conversation with one of football media’s sharpest voices.
