About this episode

College Football Playoff format changes, Nick Saban rumors, preseason Top 25, and NIL-GO enforcement—this video dives deep into everything shaping 2025 college football. From mediation talks between the SEC and Big Ten to wild rumors about Saban’s potential return, I break down the power plays behind the scenes. I reveal my full preseason Top 25 and highlight which teams are sleeper threats. You’ll also get an insider breakdown on Deloitte’s NIL‑GO platform, the algorithmic crackdown on pay‑for‑play, and what that means with state laws already pushing back (Tennessee, Texas, Missouri). This is unfiltered, high‑stakes CFB talk—for coaches, fans, boosters, and anyone who loves the game. If you want the no‑BS truth behind the headlines, this is your must‑watch breakdown.
