The Next Round (6/6/25) - Hour 1 Jun 06, 2025

Show notes

The LSU Tigers may be losing a five start recruit. Who would LSU Football WR commit Tristen Keys may be looking to move his pledge to the Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers or the Ole Miss Rebels. If not Alabama Football, Auburn Football or Ole Miss Football, he may stay with LSU.

The Oregon Ducks may have lost talented WR Evan Stewart. The Oregon Football star may be out for the season according to reports.

The most undervalued and overvalued teams in the ESPN FPI Rankings. The Texas Longhorns, Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, Ohio State Buckeyes and the Penn State Nittany Lions were the top five. The Texas A&M Aggies were also very high.

Our Champions Boxing 40-in-40 is back in the SEC with the Oklahoma Sooners at #23. Can a new OC and new QB, John Mateer, get Oklahoma Football into SEC contention? Could Mateer be a Heisman Trophy candidate as well?

The NBA Finals began last night with the Indiana Pacers doing what the Indiana Pacers do: erase a double digit 4th quarter lead for a 111-110 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Is Tyrese Haliburton the best three start recruit ever?

Four SEC Baseball teams survive the regionals a move to the Super Regionals today: The Auburn Tigers, The LSU Tigers, The Arkansas Razorbacks and The Tennessee Volunteers. Auburn Baseball, LSU Baseball, Arkansas Baseball and Tennessee Baseball all hope to advance to Omaha.

Also, a Plainsman Park record crowd is expected as Auburn Baseball is hosting their first ever NCAA Super Regional. Does their star Ike Irish have the best walk-up song in baseball?

Houston Cougars head coach Kelvin Sampson just signed a new contract but still may be the best value in all of college basketball.

The Atlanta Braves have been struggling badly of late. Was yesterday’s loss the worst in franchise history?

NFL QB Aaron Rodgers has a one year contract signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. What does that mean in the NFL Playoffs race?

How important is it to save SEC secondary rivalries in future scheduling? Can you live without seeing:
The Alabama Crimson Tide face the Tennessee Volunteers or
The Auburn Tigers against the Georgia Bulldogs?

Our Champions Boxing 40-in-40 team today: The Texas A&M Aggies. Texas A&M Football is still in search of that elusive first College Football Playoff bid, can they do it in 2025?

The Aggies are our first Top 25 team, did Mike Elko let his team down in the stretch run last season?

The Oregon Ducks were once a college football laughing stock. Like Oregon Football, is the a newcomer that you don not think will go away?

Why does Fox Sports College Football analyst Joel Klatt not like the 5+11 Model? Is he right and what are the other options?

Which college basketball team spent the most on the roster and got the least return? The Field of 68 answers that.

Four SEC Baseball teams survive the regionals a move to the Super Regionals: The Auburn Tigers, The LSU Tigers, The Arkansas Razorbacks and The Tennessee Volunteers. Even though Auburn Baseball, LSU Baseball, Arkansas Baseball and Tennessee Baseball advance, was this embarrassing for the SEC?

Two musical artists on the same stage: Oddest match-up possible.
