REPORT: American is EXPANDING w/James Madison from Sun Belt in Realignment News--UCLA Loses Nico

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In a shocking development, James Madison is reportedly going to leave the Sun Belt after the 2027 football season for the American Conference. What does this mean for the rest of the realignment landscape?

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the fallout from Penn State's "Whiteout" loss to USC. The Trojans and Lincoln Riley still have all of their goals in front of them.

The AP Top 25 once again has embarrassed itself with several rankings that make little to no sense. Does it matter? Yes, and ranking LSU is totally insane.

REACTION: Oklahoma STUNS Texas in Rivalry Triumph--Florida Gets Crushed by South Carolina?? UCLA!!

Locked On Podcast Network — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 01:06:27 GMT

Oklahoma's season looked like it was over, and then they found a way to overcome a 17-7 deficit against Texas and kick a game-winning field goal. How did things go so wrong for Texas?

On this episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to the wild slate of games that transpired especially in the SEC. Flordia was whacked at home by South Carolina, is the SEC just not that good?

UCLA went on the road and knocked off Oregon, improving to 5-0 with a clear path to the Playoff. Bob Chesney showed what matters most in college football.

REACTION: Iowa THUMPS Washington, Jedd Fisch is Under Pressure–BYU Should Get GameDay? Florida St…

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 06:04:34 GMT

Iowa ended its west coast curse and thumped Washington at Husky Stadium on Friday night. The embarrassing showing for the Huskies calls into question whether Jedd Fisch is the right man for the job.

On this episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to BYU's Friday night clash with Iowa State. College GameDay should be in the 'Beehive State' next week.

Louisville's season looked to be on the brink but they saved it with a 44-6 run against Florida State. The end for Mike Norvell needs to come sooner rather than later--but will it?

TRAP GAME: Indiana Hoosiers at Nebraska, Is Josh Hoover Ready for Cornhuskers' Challenge? Best Bets!

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Indiana has played one real team this year (Northwestern) and was pushed to the brink. The Hoosiers could be walking into a trap on Saturday against Nebraska.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin breaks down LSU's road test at Kentucky this week. How can the Wildcats upset the Tigers?

Spencer once again lays out his best bets for the week coming off consecutive losing efforts. USC at Penn State is probably too good to be true, but they're the better football team--in theory.

BIG 10 SQUAD: The Big 10 is in TROUBLE | What's up with the Conference?

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Big Ten playoff hopes waver as Iowa, Ohio State, and Oregon face mounting pressure. Can the Big Ten still send more than two teams to the College Football Playoff, or will the SEC dominate the expanded field? The panel dissects Iowa’s must-win clash at Washington, Ohio State’s playoff outlook, and Penn State’s credibility as Vegas favorites against USC.

Lively debate spotlights quarterback injuries, defensive struggles, and rising concerns about the conference’s depth. Hot takes include whether Curt Cignetti’s Indiana Hoosiers can stay relevant and if Minnesota, Northwestern, and Wisconsin are unexpectedly holding up the Big Ten West. Plus, UCLA’s upset potential at Oregon, poll controversies, and unique sideline rituals keep the banter sharp. Get expert insights on which teams have the best chance to punch a playoff ticket—and which might fall short.

WILD: Alabama vs Georgia Could be DELAYED by Weather?? Iowa State Seeks Huge UPSET at BYU on Friday

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Alabama and Georgia may or may not play their epic showdown on time due to a pending hurricane/tropical storm. Who prevails whenever the game does wind up getting played?

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and 'Locked On BYU' host Jake Hatch discuss a Friday night clash in the Big 12. Can Iowa State shock the Cougars without RB LJ Martin available to play?

Washington's offense has been dreadful this season despite the return of QB Demond Williams, and Iowa has long struggled to win on the west coast. Something has to give in Seattle this Friday.

CRAZY: Oklahoma Expert STILL Won't Pick Texas Despite Sooners' Woeful Offense--USC over Penn State?

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Oklahoma's season is all but over as they head into a Red River showdown with Texas. The Sooners' offense has been abysmal, but should Texas have faith in their offense?

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and 'Locked On Nittany Lions' host Zach Seyko discuss Penn State's big matchup with USC. Something has to give on Saturday night.

Louisville had what looked like a good loss earlier this year against Ole Miss, but has stumbled twice since then due to defensive deficiencies. Will they get it done against Florida State who played very well last week?

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses one of the hottest seats in college football. Shane Beamer seems to have accepted his fate, and the Gamecocks should start looking sooner rather than later.

Michigan Should BENCH Bryce Underwood, Kyle Whittingham Deserves Blame--Keelon Russell is a STAR

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Michigan was once again shocked late, this time by Minnesota. The Wolverines somehow might not have the worst-looking QB situation in college football.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to the biggest games in the sport from over the weekend, including the controversial finish on Friday night in Blacksburg as Pitt defeated Virginia Tech.

Alabama's offense once again exploded but the Crimson Tide have some questions left to answer. Plus, Lincoln Riley's seat at USC should be incredibly hot even after a win over Washington.
