DESERT DUEL: What You MUST Headed Into Big Week for BYU, Texas Tech, West Virginia & Arizona Schools | Big 12 Squad

Jake Hatch — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Arizona State and Baylor collide in a matchup that could redefine the Big 12 hierarchy. With the Sun Devils reeling from offensive line injuries and Baylor’s defensive front racking up sacks and tackles for loss, the desert showdown has massive implications for both programs. Cutter Boley’s volatility at quarterback and the loss of Kamari Anderson force Arizona State into creative solutions, while Baylor’s lack of a run game and lingering questions about DJ Lagway’s health keep the Bears’ outlook cloudy. Which team’s weaknesses will be exposed—and whose strengths could push them into the Big 12 title conversation?

Meanwhile, Oklahoma State’s dramatic rise from early setbacks to non-conference statement wins throws the title race wide open. Cody Stovall and the crew spotlight how last season’s dominance is giving way to a five-team logjam at the top. Is the parity in the Big 12 a blessing or a recipe for being overlooked by national media and the playoff committee? The panel hotly debates whether the conference can shake off SEC and Big Ten favoritism and finally send two teams to the College Football Playoff, or if media deals and past playoff flameouts will keep the Big 12 on the outside looking in. BYU, Texas Tech, and Utah’s early resumes are scrutinized, and the importance of avoiding embarrassing losses—like Oklahoma State’s defeat to Tulsa—is hammered home as a storyline that could make or break playoff hopes.

The podcast ramps up as the hosts preview a critical weekend: TCU faces locker-room chaos and a weak run game as BYU aims to break a two-decade losing streak in Fort Worth, while Texas Tech braces for a revenge-minded Isaac Wilson and Colorado. They dissect uniform controversies, late-night kickoffs, and the strategic moves coaches like Kalani Sitake may (or may not) make with comfortable leads. Cincinnati’s offensive line and running game emerge as under-the-radar threats against Arizona, adding another wild card to the most unpredictable Big 12 season in years.

How will strength of schedule metrics and media narratives shape the postseason? Which program will claim a signature statement win—and could TCU’s struggles signal a changing of the guard? Don’t miss this passionate roundtable crammed with analysis, banter, and bold predictions about the future of Big 12 football.

SQUAD: You MUST Hear this Take Headed Into A Huge Week for BYU, Texas Tech, West Virginia...

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 19:00:00 GMT

The college football slate this weekend brings another massive proving ground for the Big 12, with BYU, West Virginia, and Texas Tech all facing high-stakes battles that will test the grit and developmental depth of the conference.

For BYU, a gritty road trip to Fort Worth to face TCU serves as a quintessential test of physical resilience. Kalani Sitake’s squad has bullied opponents at the line of scrimmage all season behind a punishing rushing attack, but walking into Amon G. Carter Stadium requires surviving a hostile environment against a desperate conference foe. If the Cougars want to force national voters and lazy AP polls to respect their elite status, they have to impose their will in the trenches and keep the offense humming.

Meanwhile, West Virginia hits the road to Ames for a brutal battle against Iowa State. The Mountaineers’ hard-nosed, ground-and-pound identity is built precisely for these types of hostile Heartland road wars. Neal Brown's group knows that surviving the weekly Big 12 meat grinder leaves zero margin for error, making this clash a vital measuring stick for physical toughness and clock-controlling dominance.

At the same time, Texas Tech steps back into the spotlight, carrying the banner of a conference where every single Saturday acts as a violent survival test.

These programs aren't just playing games—they are fighting to expose the massive parity and depth gap that coastal pundits routinely ignore. While soft, brand-name programs coast through lightweight schedules, these Big 12 contenders put their bodies on the line every week, proving that true football supremacy is forged through sheer trench-warfare grit.

No. 10 BYU vs. TCU: Preview, storylines to watch, score prediction

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 18:05:16 GMT

UPHEAVAL: BYU Football Discussing New College Football Realignment, Big 12 Teams TARGETED, ACC DOOM

Jake Hatch, Brett Yormark, Drake Toll, Spencer McLaughlin, Greg Sankey — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 17:02:07 GMT

College football’s future hangs in the balance as conference realignment rumors explode. Will the sport survive sweeping changes driven by the Protect College Sports Act and a looming 20-team cap? Spencer McLaughlin, Drake Toll, and Jake Hatch react to On3’s shocking realignment scenario, spotlighting possible Big 12 additions like Boise State, UNLV, San Diego State, and North Dakota State. The hosts question if these regional brands actually bring TV value or are just desperate moves to keep pace with the SEC and Big Ten, both of which appear primed to poach college football’s blue bloods such as Miami, Clemson, Florida State, and North Carolina.

Is adding Boise State a smart play for the Big 12, given their storied football history, or is it a market overreach in a league already struggling for eyeballs? The discussion heats up as Jake Hatch and Drake Toll consider whether the Big 12 should focus instead on acquiring ACC programs like Pitt, Louisville, or Memphis to solidify its national standing and rival the top leagues in TV deals. USF and the untapped San Diego market are thrown into the mix—can they bring enough value to change the conference’s fate, or are they simply stopgaps in a massive collegiate shuffle?

Meanwhile, the proposed 24-team College Football Playoff draws fierce criticism. Spencer McLaughlin warns that a bloated playoff could drain the regular season of its drama, encouraging teams to rest starters and devaluing high-stakes rivalries. The trio explores whether college football’s identity—rooted in passionate fan bases and historic matchups—can survive this unprecedented era of change. If powerhouse schools leave the ACC and new markets fail to deliver, will the sport lose its soul, or can innovative thinking restore parity and excitement?

Tune in for a sharp, spirited breakdown of realignment chaos, TV money battles, and the existential questions gripping college football fans nationwide.

ON3 Just EXPOSED the New Schools the Big 12 Plans to Add in Realignment...

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The discussion surrounding potential Big 12 expansion targets like Boise State, North Dakota State, and San Diego State highlights the ongoing arms race of conference realignment, but it completely misses what makes the league strong right now.

While college football analysts love to throw around brand names and geographic footprints to generate headlines, the Big 12 doesn't need to dilute its product by chasing programs just because they dominate lower tiers or carry regional buzz. Commissioner Brett Yormark has built a 16-team powerhouse defined by fierce, week-in and week-out parity, deep developmental rosters, and authentic brand loyalty. Adding schools from the Group of Five or FCS levels—regardless of their passionate fanbases or historic lower-division titles—risks cluttering a media and competitive landscape that is already a brutal weekly gauntlet.

The strength of the conference isn't found in collecting floating brands; it’s forged through the absolute bloodbath of playing high-level, physical football every single Saturday. Programs like BYU, Utah, and Oklahoma State succeed because the conference is tightly wound, highly competitive, and free of dead weight.

Instead of obsessing over endless expansion loops that cater to national media whims, the focus should remain on protecting the elite quality and fierce regional identity that already makes the Big 12 the most exciting conference in America.

WARNING: BYU Football Being IGNORED as Big 12 Contenders? Kalani Sitake's Team Will Make a Statement

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 07:00:00 GMT

BYU football prepares for a defining moment as they battle the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth, looking to reignite national conversation around their Big 12 Conference contender status. Jake Hatch argues this is a critical week for BYU, who have flown under the radar after their early bye week and now face questions about whether they can keep pace with rivals like Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and an in-form Utah. The spotlight is on BYU’s recent accomplishments—an impressive 26-4 record over their last 30 games and top marks against the spread in college football—as they seek their third-ever win at Amon G. Carter Stadium and aim to put the Big 12 on notice: the road to the championship still runs through Provo.

Key strategies identified for BYU’s success include jump-starting their ground game with LJ Martin and other running backs, demanding a balanced offensive attack from Aaron Roderick, and playing mistake-free football by winning the turnover margin. Jake spotlights the need for the BYU defense—stacked with experience and ball-hawking ability—to dominate from opening kickoff to the final whistle, especially after uneven late-game play against Colorado State. Will the BYU Cougars maintain their elite pace and disrupt a TCU squad eager to make a statement behind quarterback Jaden Craig? Will they prove their mettle in a potentially rain-soaked, hostile environment?

Special guest Therrian "Tre" Alexander III provides a player’s perspective on the locker room mindset, sharing stories from the bye week, including his first-ever hunting trip and how getting away from the grind offered much-needed energy. Tre addresses the significance of road games in Texas, the rivalry between Georgia and Texas high school football, and how the team responds to antagonistic fan behavior—including the infamous chants encountered at places like Colorado State and possibly TCU. He also breaks down the matchup with TCU’s quarterback and star receiver Jordan Dwyer, and dishes about the close dynamic with fellow defensive back Evan Johnson, crediting their brotherhood for BYU’s confident secondary.

A lively mailbag rounds out the show, answering burning questions about Legend Glasker’s expanding role, the right tackle battle between Bott Mulitalo and Siosiua Latu-Finau, the evolving safety position with Tommy Prassas and Jaren Pula, and the excitement over a possible College GameDay return for the upcoming Notre Dame clash. Jake also reflects on the personal impact of his expanded podcast role, gaining family time after years in radio.

Don’t miss this comprehensive preview and in-depth analysis as BYU looks to deliver a statement win and reset expectations across the Big 12.
