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? Tim also identified a "sandwich spot" that he loves in September.

Scott Dochterman of The Athletic joined Tim for an in-depth preview of the Big Ten.

-How many teams from the Big Ten will reach the CFP?

-How much pressure is on James Franklin & Penn St. to deliver?

-Is Oregon going to take a step back?

-What will Ohio St. look like with a new quarterback & two new coordinators?

-Does Iowa finally have a quarterback?

Lastly, Tim welcomes handicapper Thomas Casale of SportsLine to close out the podcast. Tom discusses some of his early bets including Stanford's win total, Clemson & Utah futures, Auburn at Baylor, and Notre Dame at Miami.

Tim Murray welcomes a pair of guests to the podcast this week. Professional handicapper Paul Stone joined Tim to discuss his favorite bets (Week 1, Game of the Year, & win totals). Paul is intrigued by a number of underdogs and is expecting a step back from a team that made the College Football Playoff last year.

Later in the podcast, Patrick Everson of Vegas Insider joins Tim to talk about the latest information he has gathered from oddsmakers across the country. Who is the public already backing in 2025?

Tim opened the podcast by adding another a long shot bet to his portfolio.
