TNR 5/6/26 - Hour 1 | 5 MUST SEE College Football Matchups in 2026! May 06, 2026

Show notes

College football coaches are pushing for major postseason changes — and they could reshape the sport again. The American Football Coaches Association reportedly wants three big things: no conference championship games, a bigger College Football Playoff, and the season finished by mid-January. Would that fix college football’s postseason… or create even more problems?

Last Call | Jake Coker Reveals What Made Nick Saban’s Alabama Dynasty Different May 06, 2026

Show notes

Where does Jake Coker stack up among Alabama’s best single-season passing leaders — and what does that list say about the evolution of Crimson Tide football?

On this episode of Last Call, the guys break down Alabama’s all-time single-season passing yard leaders, including Bryce Young, Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa, Ty Simpson, Blake Sims, AJ McCarron, Greg McElroy, and Jake Coker. The conversation turns into a bigger look at the Nick Saban era, Alabama’s championship standard, and why even a two-loss season felt like a disappointment under Saban.

Jake Coker reflects on the 2015 national championship team, what made that group so hungry, and how Nick Saban shaped players beyond football through accountability, toughness, and leadership. The guys also discuss Derrick Henry’s dominance, Saban’s place next to Bear Bryant, and the challenge Kalen DeBoer faces as Alabama enters a new era.

Plus, Coker shares stories on Byron Leftwich, Carson Palmer, the Senior Bowl, and his time in the NFL.

Drop your thoughts in the comments: Who is the greatest Alabama quarterback of the Saban era?

TNR 5/5/26 - Hour 3 | Power 4 Records vs. Ranked Teams in the CFP Era May 05, 2026

Show notes

Our daily 4 Downs presented by Central Alabama Concrete!

We take a deeper look at the Power 4 and Notre Dame against ranked opponents in the College Football Playoff era. Which programs have lived up to the hype? Which ones have been exposed? And what does it tell us about the real contenders in college football?

We also break down a huge SEC Football question: since 1977, only six teams have won the SEC Championship. Would you take those proven SEC powers — Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Auburn and Tennessee — or the field to win the conference this season?

Does Auburn Football have a major experience problem heading into the season? The Auburn Tigers reportedly have only 115 returning snaps, and we debate whether that number is a real warning sign for Auburn or just another offseason stat that may not matter once the games begin.

Show notes

We also break down a huge SEC Football question: since 1977, only six teams have won the SEC Championship. Would you take those proven SEC powers — Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Auburn and Tennessee — or the field to win the conference this season?

Florida Gators head coach Jon Sumrall is setting big expectations for Florida Football. Will that confidence help build momentum in Gainesville, or could it put even more pressure on a program trying to climb back into the SEC title conversation?

Joel Klatt Breaks Down the Big Ten’s Championship Run & SEC Concerns May 04, 2026

Show notes

Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for a must-watch deep dive into the biggest storylines shaping college football right now. From powerhouse programs to playoff expansion and rising coaching pressure, this conversation covers everything fans are talking about heading into the new season.

We kick things off with Kirby Smart’s eye-opening comments on why the Big Ten Conference has dominated recent national championships—and what it means for the Southeastern Conference moving forward. Then, Klatt weighs in on Kalen DeBoer and whether Alabama Crimson Tide football actually improved from Year 1 to Year 2 (his answer might surprise you).

We also break down the rapid rise of Curt Cignetti and how his early success at Indiana could be putting pressure on coaches across the country to win—and win big—right away. Plus, what does the future hold for the College Football Playoff as expansion looms?

Other topics include:

When was the true “golden age” of college football?

Can Ty Simpson thrive with the Los Angeles Rams?

If you’re a fan of college football, the SEC, Big Ten, or the future of the sport, you don’t want to miss this conversation.
