Locked On College Football

Ole Miss has the top ranked transfer portal class of 2024, but is Lane Kiffin the real portal king? Yes, the Rebels have added a nice combination of quantity (18 commits) and quality, but the Ohio State Buckeyes boast the best portal class pound for pound and it's not close. The Buckeyes only added six players, but DB Caleb Downs and RB Quinshon Judkins were two of the top players available. Ohio State found a solid quarterback for the present in Will Howard, and a stud for the future in Julian Sayin.

Brett Yormark recently made a couple of comments regarding supposed unity amongst the Big 10/SEC/ACC/Big 12, and about a 14-team Playoff. Is he right about either issue?

The Spring transfer portal window has seen dozens (hundreds??) of starting-caliber player change schools. 247Sports' rankings say that Mario Cristobal's Miami Hurricanes have had the most impactful Spring portal window--and they're right.

The Big 10 and the SEC's threat to break away from the rest of college football has not taken place--but one day it could. If that happens, should the G5 schools left behind form their own national championship structure like the FCS?

Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes have made a huge splash in landing Oregon State transfer RB Damien Martinez. Their dynamic backfield sets up a 2024 season that should have College Football Playoff expectations.

Colorado has largely abandoned high school recruiting in favor of a transfer portal-heavy approach to build its roster. At its Spring Game on Saturday, we will see if the Buffs have actually made improvements in needed areas. Plus, a recent transfer addition helps solidify their RB room.

Florida State's lawsuit now has the public backing of Florida's attorney general, Ashley Moody. What does her support for the Seminoles' attempt to leave the ACC mean for the lawsuit?

BREAKING NEWS: Reggie Bush has been given his Heisman trophy back by the Heisman Trust. After having it taken away because he received "impermissible benefits" from USC back in the day, the new landscape of college football has made that moot.

Oklahoma is joining the SEC this year with far less hype than Texas--but they're working to change that in the transfer portal. In addition to adding SMU all-conference OL Branson Hickman, WR Deion Burks showcased why he can change the Sooners' offense this year.

The Pac-12 was recently given the formal designation of no longer being an "Autonomous 5" league in college football. What does that actually mean as it pertains to their potential rebuild?

Colorado has, as usual, made headlines during the transfer portal this Spring with notable players like CB Cormani McClain leaving Boulder--and taking a shot on his way out the door. All the noise is NOT, in fact, indicative of Colorado being in major trouble.

Arizona State transfer QB Jaden Rashada is, thus far, the highest-profile transfer name to hit the portal this cycle. He's been reportedly tied to Georgia, and he would be a fantastic fit with Kirby Smart's program.

The transfer portal has been dominating the headlines, and Oregon State's nod towards the Big 12 has flown under the radar. What does the Beavers' new scheduling move with Houston mean for the Beavers' realignment future?

The transfer portal has opened in college football and names are pouring in by the hour. For Colorado and Deion Sanders, they are feeling the sting of departures with 5-star CB Cormani McClain while also making a strong push for Ohio State RB Dallan Hayden.

Florida State and Clemson are not going to be in the ACC for long, but they WILL be for 2024--and they should want to be. Is there really a deadline for them to give the conference to negotiate a settlement by?

The Spring transfer portal window opens on Tuesday after a 2023 cycle in which over 1,000 players went in the portal this time last year. Some big-time schools have the opportunity to strengthen their rosters, including the Crimson Tide AND the team that Kalen DeBoer left for Tuscaloosa: The Washington Huskies.

Kalen DeBoer's most public display in his new job will be on Saturday, will the nation learn anything about QB Jalen Milroe and Alabama on Saturday at 3pmET? 'Locked On Alabama' host Luke Robinson joins the show to talk about what to expect from the Crimson Tide's nationally-televised Spring Game.

The ACC is still battling Florida State and Clemson in the courts to try and keep them in the ACC. The conference needs to accept reality and make the best of their pending departure--but delays don't help their cause.

Oregon State Football fans are once again feeling betrayed by the system as star running back Damien Martinez announced his intention to enter the transfer portal. They're justified in feeling that, in the meantime someone will gain an outstanding halfback out of the portal. Will it be Michigan State?

The ACC's future is murky at best if Florida State and Clemson are successful in leaving the league for the Big 10 or SEC. If schools get left behind, could a new-look coastal conference emerge?

"College Sports Tomorrow" is a proposal that would make College Football better in several ways and fix ills caused by realignment. Would the Big 10 and SEC actually allow such a proposal to come to fruition as they pull away from the rest of the sport?

"College Sports Tomorrow" is a proposal being circulated and discussed amongst University Presidents and a high-level NFL executive. The move would be a lifeline for the ACC and Big 12, who are helplessly watching the Big 10 and SEC pull away in conference realignment.

The Pac-12's war chest is pushing $300M to rebuild the conference under the Pac-12 label, with plenty of schools and options at their disposal. Commissioner Teresa Gould has been quiet since her opening remarks as the league's new leader, and she should wait to make any official noise until the ACC settlements come down.

The ACC could struggle to survive if Florida State and Clemson are successful in their attempts to leave the league. Who most needs the league to stick around in the long run to stay afloat in realignment?

The ACC and the Big 12 face a problem in the new-look world of college athletics: they're significantly behind the Big 10 and the SEC. Would the 2 leagues merging solve any of those problems?

North Carolina has been discussed as a potential target in realignment amidst looming conversations about the long-term viability of the ACC. Are the Tar Heels willing and able to potentially follow FSU, Clemson, and perhaps Miami to the Big 10 or SEC?

Florida State and Clemson have not stated, publicly, where their desired landing place would be should they succeed in leaving the ACC. Between the SEC and the Big 10, the Big 10 would benefit more from adding the Tigers and Seminoles in the future.

Clemson and Florida State continue their pursuits to get out of the ACC to find a home in the Big 10 or the SEC. Would the SEC that's already expanded with Texas and Oklahoma want to add the schools?

The Pac-12 is down to just Oregon State and Washington State--for now. Commissioner Teresa Gould has the ability to work to rebuild the conference, but she has to wait before she can put together a fully thought out plan.

The ACC is battling to keep its flagship football programs in the league, and the consensus appears to be that the conference will lose and the schools will leave. But what happens if that doesn't come to fruition?

The ACC is facing lawsuits from Clemson and Florida State in which both schools are attempting to leave the league to join the SEC or the Big 10. If Miami were to join them and Notre Dame stays independent, who should they try and bring with them to get into the Power 2?

There's more drama in the ACC. Clemson and FSU are suing the ACC. Join Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs on this edition of Locked On College Football.

The Big 12 is watching the ACC go through what it went through several years ago with its biggest football brands attempting to leave the league. The Expansion Big 12 should be on standby as the various lawsuits levied against the ACC take fold and other schools ponder their future conference alignment.

Clemson, like Florida State, has brought a lawsuit against the ACC in an effort to break the Grant of Rights and leave the league for the Big 10 or the SEC. Can the ACC survive such a move? Kenton Gibbs of 'Locked On ACC' joins the show to discuss the league's survival.

The Pac-12 can survive financially getting a reduced CFP share for the next couple of years, but eventually it will behoove Oregon State/Washington State to make or join a G5 conference. That move does not have to be a FULL merger with the Mountain West--though that could still be on the table.

The Pac-12 has gotten another revelation that will force it to rebuild one day, and Oregon State and Washington State appear well aware of that. They are getting a vastly reduced CFP share under the new arrangement, but it may not be a punishing financial blow in the short term.

Miami is like many schools in the country, waiting to see what the outcome is of Florida State's lawsuit in their attempt to leave the ACC. The Hurricanes need to be ready to act or they could get left out in the next round of realignment musical chairs.

The SEC and the Big 10 started with an investigative joint committee to explore how to "fix" several big issues in College Football. Instead, the direction they're driving the sport to allow themselves to pull away from everyone else will make the sport worse for fans.

Florida State's legal pursuits against the ACC continue, with two recent aspects of their objections to the league/its grant of rights coming into the fold. The moves appear somewhat small, and could reflect the Seminoles' desire to reach a settlement with the ACC in a timely manner.

The Big 10 and the SEC have created a gap between themselves and everyone else in the world of College Football through realignment and massive media deals. This does not have to mean the ACC and Big 12 are destined to dissolve as the Pac-12 did.

Florida State is still working to get a deal that allows them to leave the ACC and join the Big 10 or the SEC. Realignment moves rarely happen in isolated fashion, so who should the Noles take with them?

Utah joined the Big 12 ahead of the upcoming 2024 season after Oregon and Washington joined the Big 10, not out of a burning desire to leave the Pac-12. There is a clause in their contract that makes them a potential chess piece when the next round of realignment begins.

Florida State is actively trying to get out of their arrangement with the ACC, and they (along with Notre Dame) would instantly become the hottest realignment commodity available. If the Big 10 wants to get ahead of the SEC, they will be aggressive in their pursuit of the Seminoles. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin talks about the possibility of expanding the College Football Playoff to 14 or 16 teams. The possibility has reportedly been discussed, and that is not good for anybody--especially fans of the Big 12 and ACC. Locked On recruiting insider Brian Smith joins the show to talk about 5-star QB Julian Lewis, who has re-classified to the 2025 cycle. His lineup of visits include Georgia, Alabama, Colorado, Auburn and USC where he's currently committed. His recruitment will be a full court press to land him on National Signing Day.

The Seminoles have made it clear they have intentions on leaving the ACC and are negotiating a way to do so. Which conference would they be a better fit in, the Big 10 or the SEC? On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by 'Locked On Seminoles' host Brian Smith to talk about their future in the ACC. Notre Dame is still one of the biggest enigma out there in the realignment world given their TV value and their continued opposition to joining a conference. USC under Lincoln Riley has made good moves this offseason to improve their defensive unit, which has held them back during his time in Los Angeles. With D'Anton Lynn and several impact transfers, the Trojans are a sneaky Big 10 contender and will win at least 8 games this year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Oregon State and Washington State will receive a "Power 5" share in 2024 and 2025 of $6 million in revenue from the CFP. They want to have that in 2026 and beyond as well, but that conflicts with their potential plans to rebuild the Pac-12 conference. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Steven Willis of 'Locked On Ole Miss' to talk about the Rebels' win total in 2024. If they win just 1 of 3 games against LSU, Oklahoma and Georgia, then they're a lock for 10+ wins under Lane Kiffin. Alabama's roster was undergoing drastic changes when Kalen DeBoer and his then-coaching staff took over in January. Now, they've shaken things up with coaches and players to stabilize themselves going into 2024 and will need QB Jalen Milroe to be at his best. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Florida State has made it clear they do not want to be a part of the ACC. Behind the scenes, power players for the Seminoles have mobilized to push that another step towards completion. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by 'Locked On Auburn' host Zac Blackerby. Has Auburn under Hugh Freeze done enough to improve their win total in his second season? Texas recently signed Steve Sarkisian to a massive contract worth over $10 million per year in salary. The Longhorns' investment in their head coach is the right move as they move into the SEC. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Pac-12 (it's still alive!) officially moved on from George Kliavkoff as commissioner and is targeting Teresa Gould to replace him, a long time Pac-12 Deputy Commissioner. Whoever the hire ends up being, that individual needs to have 1 important quality to best serve Oregon State and Washington State. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin talks about the apparent "incorrect" report about ESPN and the College Football Playoff having agreed to an extension on the TV rights front. Opening up the bidding to multiple companies would be good for fans. 'Locked On Gators' host Brandon Olsen joins the show to talk about Florida's immensley difficult schedule in 2024.

Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte recently remarked that the SEC could soon move to a 9-game conference schedule, which would be great for college football. 'Locked On SEC' host Chris Gordy joins the show to talk about the implications should such a move come to pass. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by David Schultz of 'Locked On Sun Belt' to talk about the latest coaching carousel move.

Florida State has voiced their frustrations with the ACC and is acting in a way that indicates they want to leave before the 2024 football season. Tennessee is in court against the NCAA and they have a strong case. Both schools are at the forefront of major changes coming to college football/athletics. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, 'Locked On Buffs' host Kevin Borba stops by to talk about Deion Sanders hiring Robert Livingston to be the Buffs' defensive coordinator for 2024. As a first-time coordinator, is he a risky hire to try and fix Colorado's defensive issues? Locked On recruiting insider Brian Smith joins the show to talk about how, if at all, the SEC could be unseated from bringing in the top recruiting class in the country. Plus, a look at 2 of the most highly coveted 2025 offensive line recruits: Solomon Thomas and Ziyare Addison, who are fielding offers from all over the country. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

ESPN and the College Football Playoff have announced, though not formally signed, a 6-year media deal beginning in 2026 worth $7.8 billion. The announcement did not give college football fans the most pertinent information for the future of the 12-team era, at least not yet. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin talks about the moves that the Pac-12 are making to stay alive. Moving on from commissioner George Kliavkoff is another indication the league intends to remain viable in the future. Lousville Football under Jeff Brohm had a wildly successful first year in 2023, going 10-4 and making the ACC Championship Game against Florida State. They are set up for another strong season and should expect to go over their win total of 8.5 according to FanDuel. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

College Football realignment has teams to play in conferences that make no sense geographically whilst excluding Washington State and Oregon State to create the "Power 4" conferences. Some schools are going to be filled with serious regret, especially in the 12-team playoff, that they jumped ship and blew up longstanding leagues/traditions for the almighty dollar. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to UCLA hiring former RB coach DeShaun Foster to replace Chip Kelly. They are not in a strong position going into the Big 10, and are making a mistake hiring a first-time head coach who's never been a coordinator before. On today's edition of transfer Tuesday, Spencer looks at one player in the Big 12 and one in the SEC who are going to shine for their new teams. RB Trevor Etienne joining Georgia and QB Carson Beck makes a dynamic backfield, while DL transfer from Arizona State BJ Green is going to give Colorado much needed depth up front.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin talks about who UCLA should target for their head coaching vacancy. With their roster in a dire situation, is bringing in a recruiting-focused head coach the right move? Realignement in college sports has landed SMU in the power ranks as a member of the ACC.

Chip Kelly had long been rumored to want out of UCLA, and his tenure with the Bruins has come to an end. He is the new offensive coordinator under Ryan Day at Ohio State, a move that solidifies the Buckeyes as a national title contender after losing their OC very recently. 'Locked On Buckeyes' host Jay Stephens joins the show to discuss the move. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin talks about what an indictment on the UCLA football program this move is in addition to their underwhelming offseason. Who might the Bruins target to be their next head coach? Could Alabama's Ryan Grubb be the next coach to take 2 jobs in 1 offseason? Bill O'Brien never called a play for Ohio State and he is off to Boston College to be the Eagle's next head coach. The move could make more noise than you think in an ACC landscape that lacks serious competitive depth. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Pac-12 media rights saga that stretched into early August produced a deal that featured Apple TV, a streamer, as its primary partner. The deal contributed to the league's teams splitting up for linear-heavy conferences. Was the deal better than it got credit for? On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin talks about the offseason moves for Florida State under Mike Norvell. Have the Noles done enough to reload and make themselves a playoff-or-bust team in 2024? Matt Rhule's Nebraska team is perhaps the most interesting in all of college football.

College Football is lined up for major changes, including the potential unionization of college athletes as employees as has happened at Dartmouth. 'Locked On Tar Heels' host Isaac Shade stops by to discuss what that could look like and what it means for the sport. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin goes on to talk about Nick Saban's addition to ESPN's College GameDay crew.

The ACC and Big 12 are significant steps behind the Big 10 and SEC going into 2024 and the 12-team College Football Playoff. Given the teams and brands in the league, the ACC has a better chance than the Big 12 to put multiple teams into the expanded playoff this Fall. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin is also joined by Steven Willis of 'Locked On Ole Miss' to talk about their offseason moves. They should absolutely expect to be an SEC contender in 2024 under Lane Kiffin with QB Jaxson Dart returning to the Rebels. Spencer also talks about Utah and why Kyle Whittingham's Utes should have their highest expectations since joining the P5 level in 2011. They should be the favorites in the Big 12 with QB Cam Rising back for his 7th year and the CFP is well within reach in the 12-team era. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Jim Harbaugh has finally made his decision and for the first time since 2014, he will be a coach in the NFL leading the Los Angeles Chargers. Michigan now has to make their move in the coaching carousel, would LSU's Brian Kelly be an option? On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlins reacts to the latest coaching carousel move in College Football. The fact that 3 of the 4 CFP teams' coaches from last year are no longer with their teams for 2024 says something about college football--and it's not great. Kalen DeBoer has landed his first major recruiting win since taking over for Nick Saban at Alabama. Luke Robinson of 'Locked On Alabama' joins the show to talk about the commitment of 5-star WR Ryan Williams after previously decommitting from the Crimson Tide. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Deion Sanders was the epicenter of the college football world after 3 games in 2023, only to end the season 1-8 from that point on. The Buffs have attacked their weaknesses in the transfer portal and are being undervalued with a 4.5 win total. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin looks at two new head coaches and how long they'll stay in their roles. Will Kalen DeBoer truly be given a short leash? That depends on the expectations of Alabama fans. Roman Tomashoff of 'Locked On Huskies' stops by to talk about whether or not new Washington HC Jedd Fisch will remain in Seattle long term. He's made his biggest move yet by convincing former Mississippi State QB Will Rogers to stay with Washington after going into the transfer portal. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

2024 will be the most unique college football season in recent memory with realigned conferences and a 12-team playoff. For the Big 12, they enter this new football season at a distinct disadvantage compared to their other leagues. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin goes on to talk about Jim Harbaugh's uncertain future. Is his delay in choosing whether to stay or go to the NFL hurting Michigan's ability to compete nationally in 2024? Notre Dame has once again gone to the transfer portal to find their starting quarterback under Marcus Freeman--and once again they've pulled a veteran QB from the ACC. Duke transfer QB Riley Leonard is good enough to help the Fighting Irish contend for a national championship. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Alabama has had a bevy of departures from its 2023 roster after Nick Saban retired. Going into 2024 right now, the Crimson Tide don't boast one of the 15 best rosters in college football. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin talks about Alabama QB commit Julian Sayin announcing his transfer to Ohio State. The Buckeyes under Ryan Day have had an excellent offseason and are well-situated at the quarterback position going forward as well. Under the new 12-team College Football Playoff format, a G5 team is going to be involved. Tulane and Boise State, both with new head coaches, have made offseason moves that make them among the favorites to do so from the G5 conferences. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Georgia's 12-0 regular season ended in a loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship before thrashing Florida State in the Orange Bowl. With QB Carson Beck leading a loaded roster, they will have one singular goal in 2024 and should be the national title favorites. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin also talks about Ohio State hiring Bill O'Brien as its offensive coordinator. Plus, a look at the top remaining transfers in the seemingly never ending world of the transfer portal. Texas under Steve Sarkisan had their best season to date in his third year at the helm in Austin. After losing several key players offensively, Texas is reloading via the transfer portal in a big way to contend once again in this Fall. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin looks around the country at the best wide receiver moves across the country.

USC under Lincoln Riley have (finally) brought in a new defensive coordinator, hiring D'Anton Lynn from UCLA. The move comes two years too late for Caleb Williams to have had a shot to win a national championship in college before heading to the NFL. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin goes through the five best coaching hires this offseason. Alabama landing Kalen DeBoer isn't the only move that will work quickly and affect the CFB landscape in 2024. Spencer is also joined by Alex Donno of 'Locked On Canes' to talk about QB Cam Ward committing to Mario Cristobal's team. Does Ward make Miami an ACC title contender in 2024 as Cristobal enters year 3? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Michigan's Jim Harbaugh has had a rather tumultuous tenure as Michigan's head coach both on and off the field. After a perfect 15-0 season culminating in a national championship win over Washington, now is the perfect time for Harbaugh to return to coaching in the NFL. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the prospect of another CFP semifinalist head coach leaving his school. If he goes off to the NFL, he will be joining a league where USC quarterback Caleb Williams is a player after he declared for the 2024 NFL Draft. The transfer portal is still seeing major names go in and impact players come out for programs all across the country. At the wide receiver position, major names have landed in spots where they'll make an impact ranging from Utah to Texas and beyond. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Kalen DeBoer is heading to Alabama to take over a roster that will look different than it did in 2023. However, it pales in comparison to what former Arizona HC Jedd Fisch is walking into (for now) at Washington to fill his shoes. On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Chris Gordy of 'Locked On SEC' to talk about Alabama. Kalen DeBoer takes charge as someone not known as a great recruiter, what does that mean for the schools trying to compete with the Crimson Tide on the trail as their roster and recruiting class lose players? Washington State's Cam Ward announced he will be transferring to Miami instead of declaring for the NFL Draft. Spencer takes a look at the top 5 transfer portal QB moves so far and the impact they'll have across the country in 2024. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Kalen DeBoer went 25-3 in his two seasons at Washington, culminating this past season with a Pac-12 championship win over Oregon and an appearance in the national title game against Michigan. Expect him to hit the ground running and contend for national championships during his tenure as the head coach of the Crimson Tide replacing Nick Saban. On today's (first) episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how the former Husky head coach could succeed quickly in Tuscaloosa. As Washington searches for its next head coach, Husky fans are left asking a variety of questions. Was 2023-24 as good as it gets in Seattle? Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has long been rumored to be a candidate for head coaching vacancies in the NFL. If he were to make that leap, could names like Pete Carroll and Mike Vrabel do the reverse and come down to the college coaching ranks from the NFL? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Oregon's Dan Lanning and Texas' Steve Sarkisian both made affirmative statements that they will be staying put at their respective jobs. As Alabama's list of coaching candidates continues to dwindle down, Washington's Kalen DeBoer is likely at or near the top of their list. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin dives further into the Crimson Tide's continued pursuit of a new football coach to replace Nick Saban. Florida State's Mike Norvell could be an option as well coming off a 13-0 season, but the relatively cheaper cost of his buyout would not be the reason why. This is the FINAL EPISODE of Locked On Pac-12 before it becomes "Locked On College Football" starting on Monday. Spencer dives into a final Locked On Pac-12 mailbag, concluding with a thought on why "Pac-12 After Dark" may live on in the new-look world of college football. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Alabama's Nick Saban shocked the college football world when he announced his retirement on Wednesday evening. Washington's Kalen DeBoer and Oregon's Dan Lanning have put themselves on the map with their performances over the last two seasons and will both get looks by the Crimson Tide's vacant coaching position. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin talks about why those two standout coaches will be targets for the Alabama job opening. The two have been at their schools for the same amount of time and bring different coaching profiles to the table as candidates. Lanning and DeBoer have both become celebrated figures amongst their fanbases. Both have legitimate reasons to worry about the prospect of a coaching vacany for their favorite team, though nothing is guaranteed. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Florida State has expressed their dismay with the ACC and if they are successful in their lawsuit, the league's current and future members could be looking for homes. As the Pac-2 ponder their future, re-inviting Cal and Stanford is not something they should feel is beneath them. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, talks about the media options for Oregon State and Washington State regarding their 2024 home football games. What sorts of options should they look at beyond next year? Spencer also goes through how NIL had a positive impact on the quality of football in the Pac-12 this year. Plus, Oregon State has added two more players in the transfer portal that will make an impact next year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Washington came into Monday's national championship against Michigan as the underdog for the fourth time in their last five games. This time it played out that way on the field as the Wolverines defeated the Huskies 34-13 and keep the Pac-12 without a national championship since the 4-team CFP began 9 years ago. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to the final game of the college football season. Michigan's defense put on one of the most impressive defensive performances we have seen in some time on the biggest stage in the sport. The 2023 college football season is now officially over, which is never music to the ears of fans of this great sport. Spencer does, however, have some exciting news about the future of this show!

The Huskies enter Monday's "Big 10" matchup with the Wolverines boasting the best passing offense in the country.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Craig Shemon of 'Locked On Big 10' to talk about Monday's championship game. This matchup brings contrasting styles, how might each coaching staff attempt to counter the other? Spencer and Craig also dive into the individual matchups that will decide the game, especially how the Wolverines plan to cover Washington's wide receivers. Plus, they both make their game predictions. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! LinkedIn These days every new potential hire can feel like a high stakes wager for your small business.

Oregon State and Washington State could try and rebuild the Pac-12 one day and fill it with a sufficient number of teams to build the premier G5 conference in America. They could remain as essentially indepenents and play under the Pac-12 label in a 2-team league. Whatever path they choose to try and be as relevant as possible, what they're going to attempt is almost completely unprecedented in modern college sports. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the path ahead for the schools in Corvallis and Pullman. As they think about broadcasts for their 2024 home games, might Apple be an option they seek to bring back to the table in broadcasting college sports? Opt outs have given bowl season a different vibe than it used to, and though it should happen anyway, moving the transfer portal window won't change that. Plus, a look at why FCS programs are not going to be easily considered in realignment going forward thanks to the NCAA. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Oregon State and Washington State have options ahead of them as they ponder rebuilding the Pac-12 into a new era one day. As they look to do that, football should be the top priority--and very little else should factor into their calculations. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin talks about an important angle of one day rebuilding the Pac-12. As Washington prepares to face Michigan in the National Championship, who gets the money made to the conference thanks to the Huskies' run? Oregon State has 3 potentially viable options at quarterback for 2024 with two transfers entering in. Who's the most likely to emerge and what sorts of weapons will they have to play with?

Oregon State and Washington State have options in front of them as they look to the future and a potentially rebuilt Pac-12 conference with a slew of teams from other leagues. Could that league ever be considered a "power conference" once again? On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin goes on to talk about Washington being an underdog (again) against Michigan in the national championship. Will they follow TCU's trajectory or is Vegas truly unsure of how to set lines on their games? Oregon State QB DJ Uiagalelei announced his transfer to Florida State, while Washington State's Cam Ward declared for the NFL Draft. Spencer talks about those decisions as well as the Beavs' WR Silas Bolden entering the transfer portal. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Washington had to travel much further than Texas to get to the Sugar Bowl in the CFP Semifinal, but they were the better team from the jump. With the win over the Longhorns, the Huskies are the first Pac-12 team to play for a national championship since Oregon took on Ohio State 9 years ago. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to Washington's convincing win over Texas in the Fiesta Bowl. Michael Penix showed out in a big way, but the complete team effort for Kalen DeBoer's team was on full display on Monday night. Washington's rise to a national power under Kalen DeBoer over the last two seasons underscores how absurd the demise of the Pac-12 truly is. Right as west coast football was arguably the best it's ever been, the league splintered. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Following non-conference play, the Pac-12 had 8 teams ranked inside the top 25. By the end of the year that number had been cut in half. Was the league overrated? On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin talks about how bowl games should influence final perceptions of different football teams. In the age of the transfer portal and opt outs, they should be taken into account very little if any at all. The Pac-12 could very well be rebuilt one day with Oregon State and Washington State at the center of that new-look conference. Would that league be considered a "Power 5" league once more?

The Washington Huskies have made the College Football Playoff for the second time as they get set to play Texas on Monday night. It's a good matchup for Washington and Kalen DeBoer, but one that could certainly go awry if their defense doesn't show up as it did against Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Roman Tomashoff of 'Locked On Huskies' to break down the Sugar Bowl. Spencer goes on to talk about some Pac-12 bowl game takeaways with the league sitting at 3-3 overall. Arizona under Jedd Fisch won 7 straight games to end the season, culminating in an Alamo Bowl win over Oklahoma. The scope of his turnaround job in Tucson should not be overlooked.

Florida State has made no bones about wanting to be rid of the ACC, arguing they have neglected their duties amidst college realignment. Should they succeed and blow up the conference, that would be great news to the Pac-12 as Oregon State and Washington State look to rebuild it in the future. On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at an after-the-fact report on the downfall of the Pac-12. Washington's president, Ana Mari Cauce, was put in a rather precarious situation. What role might teams from the American Conference play in realignment as more dominoes potentially prepare to fall?

After hosting Texas QB Malik Murphy on campus for a visit, Oregon State has added Idaho QB Gevani McCoy from the FCS ranks into its QB room for 2024. With Ben Gulbranson expected to return, is there an open QB battle on the horizon? On today's epsiode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Carter Bahns of BeaverBlitz.com and 247Sports. They talk about the two potential signal callers and what McCoy brings to the table if he's chosen as the starter. This past season, he was a first-team selection in the Big Sky and led the Vandals to the FCS quarterfinals. With the quarterback room seemingly secured, Trent Bray and his staff still have other roster needs to fill--including getting weapons for their future quarterback. What other transfer portal priorities should the Beavers have as they navigate the rest of the offseason? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

After the WCC announcement and a recent legal victory for Oregon State and Washington State, the Pac-12's ability to one day be a league of 8+ teams (as required by the NCAA) is very possible. What could that look like after all 12 schools reached a settlement? On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how the league could one day rebuild. The potential timeline could align perfectly with piggybacking on the Mountain West media rights. The next Pac-12 bowl game is the Las Vegas bowl this Saturday when Utah takes on Northwestern in sin city. Can the Utes do something they haven't done since 2017? Bryson Barnes will certainly help.
