Show notes

Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Ryan Williams show some extreme confidence in a recent interview. The Alabama Football star references the Vanderbilt Commodores which elicits a response from Vanderbilt Football QB Diego Pavia. We give you the details.

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.

The Next Round (6/3/25) - Hour 3 Jun 03, 2025

Show notes

The College Football Hall of Fame ballot includes former Alabama Crimson Tide great Mark Ingram and former Auburn Tigers great Cam Newton. Are the Alabama Football and Auburn Football greats first ballot guys?

Dennis Franchione and Tommy Tuberville are also on the ballot, are they Hall Worthy?

A new wave of college football coaches are in the game, is there a lack of experience of being number one in college football right now?

ESPN has released their first Football Power Index and it loves the SEC. The FPI has The Texas Longhorns, The Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide in the top four. The Ohio State Buckeyes, at three, round out the SEC heavy top four. We will discuss what the FPI says about Alabama Football, Georgia Football and Texas Football.

The Auburn Tigers are 14th in that same ranking with a projected win total of 7.6. That brings back the same offseason discussion: how many wins does Auburn Football coach Hugh Freeze need to remain in good graces at Auburn?

What does the SEC and the Big Ten really owe the rest of college football?

Can you allegedly slap a player, choke a player and still go in that school’s hall of fame?

Our Champions Boxing 40-in-40 team today: The Indiana Hoosiers. Indiana Football captured College Football Playoff magic last season, can they do the same in 2025?

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?

Is there a scenario in which the Detroit Lions miss the NFL Playoffs this year?
