Let's tier out the ACC! From a clear title contender to a really fun battle for second place, this conference is always set for surprise teams and unexpected twists.

For our second of four conference preview shows I'm diving into the loaded Big Ten: separating the national title contenders from the playoff wildcards, from the teams capable of ruining someone's season to those that sit down at the bottom.

They let us live to see a second week of shows ... Kicking off the first of four conference previews is my tiered breakdown of the SEC — going from the national title contenders, the conference title/playoff contenders, the sleeper teams of the conference, those heading for bowl games and the ones that need work.

After spending our first two shows talking about all the exciting things happening in the world of college football, it's time to talk about the programs that may not get everything they want out of 2025. Plus, a conversation on resetting expectations amidst this new era of college athletics.

We lived to see a second episode and I'm back delivering a big one: my top 16 teams in college football heading into the new year. We'll dive into why I love these teams, why I don't love them more, and get a great understanding for how everyone stacks up with one another heading into a highly anticipated season.

It's a new era of college football and I couldn't be more excite to hitch my wagon to it. Welcome to SpringBlake's College Football show, a thrice-weekly podcast and YouTube show talking everything about this amazing sport. We'll break down the biggest games of the year, debate the hottest topics in the sport, stay in-the-know with the latest moves in the recruiting world and give you the best bets to make all season to help your pockets stay healthy and full.

For our first episode we're keeping it nice and simple: an introduction into who I am as a college football fan, what I want this show to represent and my brief thoughts on the topics of NIL, playoff expansion and the transfer portal. After that I've got the three storylines that are going to dominate this upcoming season: the NFL-caliber QBs that ready to take their title-contending team to the promise land, the big-time program head coaches that are firmly on the hot seat and the five potential sleepers to crash the 2025 college football playoffs.
