Episode 10: In this episode of The Walk-Ons, hosts Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker jump into their official preseason AP Top 25 predictions ahead of the real poll drop. Before sharing their rankings, the duo discusses ongoing media network conversations regarding potential College Football Playoff expansion models (16, 20, or 24 teams), with Kevin arguing that keeping a 12-team or 16-team field maintains regular-season stakes. On the field, both hosts align on several top contenders—naming Oregon as their consensus No. 1 team in the nation, followed by heavyweights like Indiana, Ohio State, Texas, and Georgia rounding out their top tiers. Jacob and Kevin also trade plenty of hot takes on sleeper teams, dark-horse playoff contenders, and overrated programs. Kevin surprises Jacob by putting Texas Tech at No. 10 and Ole Miss at No. 10, while Jacob remains high on Notre Dame, Alabama, and LSU. From debating quarterback potential (like Arch Manning at Texas and Dante Moore at Oregon) to identifying fringe teams like Houston, Cal, and South Carolina, this breakdown provides college football fans with a complete preview of the national landscape heading into the season.

Episode 5: Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker welcome Ari Temkin of Big 12 Radio into the studio for a wide-ranging conversation about the biggest stories reshaping college football. They begin with Texas Tech’s chaotic offseason, the quarterback controversy surrounding the Red Raiders and the constant claim that the program simply bought its roster. Ari explains why that criticism is applied differently to Texas Tech than it is to national powers such as Texas, Ohio State, Alabama and LSU, while also evaluating Tech’s championship potential, its future at quarterback and why the chances of Texas putting the Red Raiders back on the schedule are nearly nonexistent. The conversation then expands to the future of the sport, including Ari’s prediction that the ACC could implode by 2030, the Big 12’s place in the next wave of realignment and Brett Yormark’s efforts to keep the conference competitive. Jacob, Kevin and Ari also tackle playoff expansion, the possible elimination of conference championship games, the Protect College Sports Act, the problems inside the unregulated NIL agent market and whether the SEC could realistically separate from the NCAA. Plus, Ari breaks down the Big 12 title race, identifies potential sleeper teams and closes by blind ranking five of the conference’s quarterbacks. 📲 FOLLOW OUR HOSTS Jacob Regh Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacob.regh/ Twitter (X): https://x.com/Jacob_Regh Kevin Walker Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/khaki_kev/ Twitter (X): https://x.com/kev_insports 👑 FOLLOW Crown Global Media Twitter (X): https://x.com/CrwnGlobalMedia 📺 WATCH & LISTEN YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU3ERI8OYjO-8p_HI2jVCeQ?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6LmsekeL3sWytYBltapFni 🔥 OFFICIAL MERCH Your favorite Crown Global Media merch is available now.
