We are less than 10 weeks away from the start of college football and Tim Murray is fired up for this week's episode. Before welcoming on former Ohio St LB Bobby Carpenter & CBS Sports host Chip Patterson, Tim runs through his favorite situational spots of the upcoming season. Who wants a sandwich?

National Champion & former Ohio State star Bobby Carpenter joined the podcast to discuss what to expect from the Buckeyes in 2025 after winning the National Title last season. Additionally, Tim & Bobby chatted about the new coordinators in Columbus, Ohio St QB Julian Sayin, being teammates with Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman, and the pressure that is on Penn St head coach James Franklin in 2025.

Following Bobby Carpenter, Chip Patterson, the host of the Cover 3 Podcast, joined the show. Topics discussed included Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia's strong statements, toughest schedules in the country, under the radar quarterbacks, and the expectation of North Carolina in year 1 of the Bill Belichick era.

Tim opens up the podcast this week examining the eight teams that are favored to reach the College Football Playoff in 2025. Five of those teams enter the season with quarterback concerns but could that lead to a team being undervalued in the futures market?
