College Football Insiders

We start by dissecting the Big Ten East's surprising power structure shift, which sees Penn State come out flat and then implode, while Michigan exceeds expectations. Trey and Chris wonder if Ohio State will be challenged by either, then take stock of what else happened across college football, where Clemson showed some warts and Alabama must bear the loss of Jaylen Waddle. Host: Trey Scott    Gue...

Steve Lorenz of 247Sports' TheMichiganInsider chops it up with Trey about the direction of the Michigan Wolverines under Jim Harbaugh and what the national media is getting wrong when we say Harbaugh is on the hot seat and that he's been a disappointment in Ann Arbor. We'll also listen in on a preview of Friday night's Illinois vs. Wisconsin Big Ten opener! Host: Trey Scott    Guest: Steve Lorenz...

Did you sleep on Mac Jones when he signed with Alabama in 2017? We can't blame you. Forget about him when the Tide kept adding "QBs of the future" to their class? Can't blame you. Think he wouldn't start this season? Still can't blame you. But Mac's got all our attention now. Alabama recruiting analyst Hank South helps Trey reconstruct Mac's path to Tuscaloosa and why waiting was no issue for him....

Trey is worried about what's going to happen to Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence once he leaves the cocoon of college football, especially if it's the hapless New York Jets who get their hands on him. So he calls up CBSSports' Kevin Boilard to ease some concerns. Who's tanking the hardest for Trevor? Would he be No. 1 for every team? Could he pull an Eli and refuse to play somewhere? If it's the Jets, w...

We don't blame you for snoozing on the Big Ten the last few weeks. While they've been participating in fall camp, others have been playing actual games. That changes this weekend with all 14 teams in action, beginning Friday night. Trey enlists 247Sports' Allen Trieu to recap the quarterback developments, breakout players and what he's watching this weekend. Host: Trey Scott    Guest: Allen Trieu...

Trey Scott and Chris Hummer recap Saturday's action from Week 7, which saw Alabama expose Georgia as a team in need of some fixing if it's going to make the playoff.

Trey and Chris Hummer recap college football's Week 6 with in Winners/Losers fashion, choosing three per category.

It will be different than ever before, but in many ways, the Red River Showdown on Saturday in the Cotton Bowl will be the same as always: Two rivals who hate each other getting after it for 60 minutes — loser goes home miserable. Horns247 writer Taylor Estes tells Trey that if it's Texas who loses Saturday to Oklahoma, coach Tom Herman will have a calamity on his hands.

Lane Kiffin's three years at Alabama were unforgettable, from how he changed Nick Saban's offensive stylings, to the sideline ass-chewings, to the way he got fired from a job he had already quit. Now they two will meet on the sidelines this weekend when Alabama takes Ole Miss. BamaOnLine's Charlie Potter joins the show to talk about how Kiffin's time in T-Town is remembered and how they each helpe...

Like many of his Miami teammates in the 2000s, D.J. Williams departed Miami as a national champion, an All-American and a first-round pick. That era of college football is long gone. So far gone, in fact, that Miami has not won a conference championship since it was in the old Big East. But could The U finally be on its way back to the top of CFB's food chain? This weekend's clash with No. 1 Clems...

Trey and Chris Hummer put a bow on Week 5, with the theme being that contenders like Oklahoma, Texas, Auburn and Texas A&M have been exposed as pretenders.

Maybe we've said it each of the last several seasons, but it appears that the Florida State Seminoles have DEFINITELY arrived at rock bottom following a 52-10 loss to Miami. Mike Norvell's 'Noles are 0-2 with problems galore. Brendan Sonnone talks to Trey about how this has happened and who's to blame (Jimbo? Taggart? Norvell? The administration??) and whether there's any digging out of the hole i...

Florida kicks off its season this Saturday on the road at Ole Miss, an old rival of head coach Dan Mullen. Florida has been Trey's pick to win the SEC East for most of the summer, so he called up 247Sports' Thomas Goldkamp, to discuss the relative ease of this first game, the likelihood that Florida and Mullen can finally get over a certain bulldog-shaped hump, and the culmination of QB Kyle Trask...
