Big 12 football shakeup: AP poll surprises and gambling scandal rock Oklahoma. Is a true freshman about to make BYU history?

Experts break down the unexpected AP poll rankings, questioning Utah's inclusion and Oklahoma State's absence. The John Matier controversy at Oklahoma takes center stage, sparking debate on gambling in college sports. Quarterback battles heat up across the conference, with BYU's Bear Bachmeyer potentially set to become the first true freshman to start a season opener. Jake Hatch provides insider analysis on BYU's QB situation, while other hosts weigh in on key matchups and roster moves.

Tune in for expert insights on the Big 12's most pressing issues and how they'll shape the upcoming season.

As the BYU Cougars look to implement a new quarterback for 2025, they'll examine the success of Sam Leavitt and the Arizona State Sun Devils from a year ago and attempt to replicate their formula. Could the Cougars make Bear Bachmeier their Leavitt and make a run at the Big 12 Conference title? Host Richie Bradshaw (Locked On Sun Devils) joins Jake Hatch (Locked On BYU Cougars) for a deep dive into the wild, unpredictable world of the Big 12, outlining how the Sun Devils set up Leavitt to maximize his talents and find major success in year one. The guys talk NIL and the differences between how Kenny Dillingham and Kalani Sitake market their programs for financial support. Both Bradshaw and Hatch like their teams' chances to make the Big 12 Conference Championship Game and potentially reignite a dormant rivalry, but they also look at other major contenders in the conference, such as Texas Tech, Baylor, Kansas State, BYU, and even the dark horse Kansas. Will the Big 12’s trademark chaos strike again, or will one or two teams pull away and crash the College Football Playoff?

Big 12 football faces an uphill battle for respect. Can the conference overcome media bias and scheduling challenges to earn a spot among college football's elite?

Drake and the squad dissect the USA Today coaches poll, questioning Big 12 team rankings and omissions. The panel debates SEC quarterback talent, analyzes Big 12 perception problems, and proposes strategies for boosting the conference's national profile. Key topics include aggressive non-conference scheduling, playoff success, and the power of media narratives in shaping public opinion.

Tune in for insider perspectives on the Big 12's path to prominence and how teams like BYU, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech can change the narrative this season.

Is it College Football Playoff or bust for Arizona State in 2025? The Arizona State Sun Devils are coming off a historic 2024 campaign — 11 wins, a Big 12 title, and a double-OT thriller against Texas in the College Football Playoff. With Sam Leavitt and Jordyn Tyson returning, an elite front seven, and nearly the entire coaching staff back, the pressure is on in Tempe. But is ASU truly ready to take the next step? Host Richie Bradshaw dives deep into expectations for the 2025 Sun Devils, breaking down three major questions: Is it Playoff or Bust for ASU this year? Is winning the Big 12 a necessity to define success? What does a realistic, successful season look like in Year 3 of the Kenny Dillingham era? From returning production and rising expectations to the challenges of repeating greatness in the new-look Big 12, this episode offers a grounded and passionate look at what fans can expect — and what they want to see. ASU’s 2024 season was historic — but was it an outlier or the new standard? The Big 12 remains chaotic and deep: Kansas State, Texas Tech, Utah, Baylor, and more all stand in ASU’s way. Success might not be measured in just wins — culture, home dominance, Top 25 finishes, and sustained growth all matter. Playoff dreams are alive, but so is reality.

The Arizona State Sun Devils football program checks in at No. 11 in the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll — and that’s exactly where the Sun Devils should be. Host Richie Bradshaw breaks down what the ranking means for ASU heading into the 2025 college football season, including why this position reflects growing national respect, how it sets the stage for a potential College Football Playoff run, and what it says about Kenny Dillingham’s rapidly rising program. Is this ranking a perfect spot for ASU, and does it reflect the respect that Dilly has rightfully earned? We think so, but it's also a chance to prove yourselves as not a flash in the pan or "Cinderella" type of program in 2025. This also might mean the Sun Devils are the baseline for the Big 12 Conference, and that their success determines the national perspective and respect the Big 12 receives all year. Plus, Richie shares his thoughts on other key rankings in the Top 25 and what they mean for the Big 12. Are the Sun Devils the team to beat in their new conference? Find out on this episode of Locked On Sun Devils — your daily podcast for all things Arizona State.

Conference realignment shakes up college football landscape. North Carolina eyes SEC move, Miami ponders Big 12 jump. What's next for the ACC?

Drake and the Big 12 Squad break down potential conference shifts, analyzing financial motivations and brand impacts. The hosts explore ACC teams as expansion targets, weighing geographic fit and rivalries. Deion Sanders' dramatic health journey and coaching return at Colorado takes center stage, sparking discussions on resilience and program implications.

Tune in for insider perspectives on conference strategies, team valuations, and the ripple effects of these game-changing moves in college football.

Two Arizona State Sun Devils cracked the Locked On College Football Network’s Top 100 Players — and both landed in the Top 25! Host Richie Bradshaw reacts to the high rankings of quarterback Sam Leavitt (#21) and wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (#16) and breaks down what it means for the program’s national perception heading into the 2025 season. But what about the Sun Devils who missed the cut? We highlight snubs like Kanye Udoh, Xavion Alford, and CJ Fite, who deserve a LOT more respect. A handful of Sun Devils could wind up making voters REGRET sleeping on them, headlined by the corner duo of Javan Robinson and Keith Abney. And although ASU football will look much different in 2026, there are still several players we could see grace future lists, including guys like Jake Fette, AJ Ia, My’Keil Gardner, and many more!
