Anthony Totri, Cole Topham — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 21:20:05 GMT

Mikey Keene is expected to start at quarterback for Arizona State against Kansas State according to CBS Sports. This would be Mikey Keene's first start for the Arizona State Sun Devils. The change at quarterback comes after Kenny Dillingham benched Cutter Boley for Mikey Keene in the second half of the Texas Tech loss. Will Mikey Keene make a dramatic difference for Arizona State? Is there any chance Jake Fette gets action against the Wildcats? Join Anthony Totri and Cole Topham as the guys discuss it all and more on the PHNX Sun Devils Show!

BIG 12 SQUAD - The Big 12 is still being DISRESPECTED | How the FPI Ranks Arizona State

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Big 12 powers face a playoff ranking crisis as ESPN’s FPI continues to favor SEC teams, sparking heated debate among fans and analysts. Despite BYU’s statement win over Notre Dame, the Cougars remain frozen in the rankings, while Texas, LSU, and Oregon all jump ahead of Big 12 contenders. Is the Big 12’s momentum in the AP poll enough to overcome the College Football Playoff Committee’s reliance on opaque analytics?

The Big 12 Squad breaks down the pivotal Houston vs. Oklahoma State clash, Utah’s bowl-eligible struggles, and whether Conner Weigman has emerged as the conference's next elite quarterback. Hot takes fly on brand bias, scheduling strategies, and the enduring importance of a Big 12 championship. With teams like Arizona and Houston peaking, who really deserves a shot at the playoff—and can the system be trusted?

CONCERN: ESPN Favors Arizona State in Only One of Its Last Six Games

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 20:14:14 GMT

Arizona State Sun Devils fight for bowl eligibility as midfield uncertainty swirls around the starting quarterback. Can Mikey Keene ignite the offense, or will upcoming games against Kansas State, UCF, and Colorado define their season? Philip Mulford and Parker Porrill break down ESPN analytics, dissect winnable matchups, and spotlight the team’s biggest challenges—from tackling issues to the Kansas State run game’s dangerous 6.2 yards per carry.

Attention shifts to Arizona State basketball, where Randy Bennett’s impressive transfer portal class and high coaching pedigree are met with skepticism in the Big 12 coaches poll. Does this 12th-place ranking underestimate ASU’s potential in conference play? The podcast unpacks the roster’s strengths, Bennett’s proven system, and how returning players like Vijay Wallace could impact early results. Get key insights on Sun Devils football and basketball as both squads face pivotal turning points.

Can The HORRENDOUS Arizona State Defense Be Fixed?

Anthony Totri, Cole Topham — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 21:42:56 GMT

The Arizona State defense is one of the worst in the Big 12. Brian Ward’s Sun Devil defense has gone from one of the most consistent units in the conference to a group that allows opponents to score at will. It’s an ASU defense headlined by C.J. Fite, Owen Long, Ashton Stamps and Jalen Thompson. This Arizona State team was supposed to be the most athletic and talented group Kenny Dillingham has had in Tempe. Why has the Arizona State defense been so bad? Can Brian Ward fix the ASU defense? Join Anthony Totri and Cole Topham as the guys discuss it all and more on the PHNX Sun Devils Show!
