Top Big 12 Rivalries, G5 QBs to Watch & Big Ten Mid-Tiers | GSMC College Football Podcast

·1 hr 6 min·2 clips

The Big Ten and SEC proposal would give each league four automatic playoff bids and a possible "double buy" for the top two seeds.

The episode starts with a Monday check-in and a nod to Memorial Day. It quickly sets the table for a busy stretch of college football talk. The host says the show will move through a couple of lists and ranking exercises. One lane is the current Big Ten-SEC college football playoff proposal. Another is coaches with the best college football playing careers. The show also turns to Group of Five quarterbacks to watch. The pace stays conversational and interactive, with repeated reminders that listeners can send comments, questions, hot takes, and Super Chat messages. That back-and-forth is part of the show’s rhythm. The Big 12 rivalry section becomes the main focus. Arizona and Arizona State come up in the wider rivalry discussion, but the center of the segment is BYU and Utah. The Holy War sits at the top of the ranking. The host leans into the history, the state bragging rights, and the cultural contrast between the schools. The long run of the rivalry is part of what makes it compelling, and the recent 22-21 BYU win on a late 44-yard field goal gets called out as an absolute classic. The show also makes the case that the rivalry should keep mattering in the new Big 12. After that, the episode returns to quarterback evaluation. Washington’s Demond Williams gets singled out as a particularly intriguing dual-threat option and a player who could give the Huskies a better chance in some games they might not otherwise win. The show closes by circling back to its broader goal of keeping college football talk moving and interactive.
