Segment 1: In this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down the shocking resignation of Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller. After nearly five years at the helm—and over two decades of service to MSU—Haller will officially step down on May 11. We explore what led to his exit, his legacy, and how his bold decisions, including the hiring of football coach Jonathan Smith and the firing of Mel Tucker, defined his tenure. With Tom Izzo and Jennifer Smith stepping in as co-interim ADs, the future of MSU athletics enters a pivotal transition. What will this mean for Spartan football, NIL strategy, and Izzo’s eventual successor?Segment 2: We dive deep into the unraveling of Stanford football and the broader struggles facing Cardinal athletics. Once a model of academic and athletic excellence, Stanford has been left behind in the new NIL and transfer portal era. From the shocking $1M NIL departure of softball star NiJaree Canady to four straight 3-9 football seasons, the signs of decline are clear. We unpack how rigid admissions policies, late NIL adoption, and administrative missteps have pushed Stanford from the front lines of college football into survival mode. With Andrew Luck now installed as GM and interim coach Frank Reich at the helm, is this the start of a real turnaround—or just a PR Band-Aid? Join us for expert breakdowns and bold takes on the Cardinal’s path forward.Segment 3: We break down the massive news from Lincoln: 2027 five-star quarterback Trae Taylor commits to Nebraska. Is this the signal that the Huskers are truly back on the rise? We dive into Taylor’s elite skillset, recruiting journey, and why he chose Matt Rhule’s program over powerhouses like LSU, Texas A&M, and Illinois. We also examine the state of Nebraska football—its spring game controversy, staff overhaul, defensive concerns, and whether Dylan Raiola can deliver in Year 2. Has Rhule laid the foundation for a Big Ten contender, or are fans still stuck in the past? From historic sellouts to modern setbacks, we take you deep inside Husker Nation’s hopes for a new golden era.Segment 4: We dive into our full 2025 Louisville Cardinals season preview. Can Jeff Brohm elevate this team from a contender to an ACC champion? With USC transfer Miller Moss at quarterback, one of the nation's best RB duos in Isaac Brown and Duke Watson, and explosive wideouts like Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy, the offense is loaded. But can a revamped offensive line and a secondary full of fresh faces keep up? We break down the key additions and losses in the transfer portal, why Clev Lubin and Adonijah Green could lead a deadly pass rush, and why linebacker TJ Quinn returning is a game-changer. From spring standouts to depth chart battles, this episode has everything you need to know about Louisville football’s ACC title hopes in 2025.Segment 5: We break down the stacked 2025 Big 12 quarterback landscape. From Sam Leavitt leading Arizona State to a Big 12 title, to Kansas State's Avery Johnson emerging as a rising superstar, we cover every top QB to watch. Can TCU’s Josh Hoover repeat his breakout year? Will Jalon Daniels bounce back and shine under new OC Jim Zebrowski? Is Kaidon Salter the ultimate dual-threat weapon at Colorado? We also dive into Rocco Becht’s consistency, Devon Dampier’s potential at Utah, and why BYU’s Jake Retzlaff could be a dark horse with a loaded WR room. With potential NFL talent across the board, the Big 12 is quietly becoming the most quarterback-rich conference in college football.

Segment 1: Welcome to the GSMC College Football Podcast, where today we break down the top SEC contenders for the 2025 College Football Playoff. Is Texas the clear preseason No. 1? Arch Manning now has serious weapons around him, and that defense looks elite. We analyze the Longhorns’ loaded depth chart, including key transfers like Emmet Mosley V and Cal Endries. But Georgia isn’t backing down — Kirby Smart made quiet portal moves that could pay big postseason dividends. We dive into how additions like Zachariah Branch and Josh McCray may impact their title hopes. We also spotlight South Carolina's momentum under LaNorris Sellers and the always-talented Alabama Crimson Tide adjusting under Kalen DeBoer in year two.

Why did the docuseries fall apart days before filming? Sources point to Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, who reportedly demanded a central role in the production. We unpack the behind-the-scenes tension, leaked emails, and how Hudson’s increasing presence — including her self-identification as COO of “Belichick Productions” — influenced the decision. We also analyze Belichick’s awkward CBS interview, her Instagram posts, and what this means for UNC football, the NFL’s media strategy, and Belichick’s public image.Segment 3: Why isn’t Florida — a state long known as a recruiting goldmine — producing elite, blue-chip quarterbacks? On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we dive into the surprising data, revealing why powerhouse states like Texas and California have pulled ahead in QB development. Despite Florida’s deep talent pool and NFL success stories like Lamar Jackson, Teddy Bridgewater, and Anthony Richardson, the state continues to fall behind in national recruiting rankings. We break down the issues, from underfunded high school coaching to the lack of elite QB development programs and private trainers. Hear from veteran coaches, recruiters, and insiders who expose the root of the problem and the rare prospects — like Dia Bell and Neimann Lawrence — who are starting to change the trend.Segment 4: Who crushed the spring transfer portal — and who got crushed? On this episode of the GSMC College Football Podcast, we break down the biggest winners and losers from the 2025 spring window. Georgia reloaded with elite talent like Elo Modozie and Josh McCray, while Oklahoma landed two of the top names in Jaydn Ott and Jake Maikkula. Oklahoma State, UCLA, and Purdue also made huge strides, with the Bruins pulling off the biggest move of the offseason — flipping five-star QB Nico Iamaleava. But not everyone came out ahead. Cal, Stanford, and Tennessee took major hits, losing key starters and momentum heading into the fall. Whether you’re tracking transfer portal trends, player movement, or Power 4 shakeups, this episode delivers everything you need to stay ahead.Segment 5: Which team owns the best running back room in college football heading into 2025?

With over 2,200 combined rushing yards in 2024, they headline a stacked group that also includes Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love, Texas’ deep and talented rotation, and Oregon’s dynamic blend of transfers and veterans. We break down the stats, NFL potential, depth, and impact of each backfield—and dive into how coaching changes, like Ja’Juan Seider’s move to Notre Dame, could shift the balance. Whether you're a recruiting junkie, a fantasy player, or just a college football fan, this episode delivers elite insight and debate.If you enjoyed this episode, follow us and subscribe to the show: you can find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on any app that carries podcasts.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the former No. 1 overall recruit could delay his NFL dreams, and we’re unpacking every angle — from NIL valuations to family legacy to Steve Sarkisian’s comments. With Arch flashing elite potential in limited action last season, is another year in burnt orange the smarter move in today’s college football landscape? We compare his snap counts to recent first-round QBs like Jaxson Dart, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel.

With quarterback Fernando Mendoza stepping in for Kurtis Rourke, Indiana’s offense leans on a revamped and promising offensive line anchored by Carter Smith, Pat Coogan, and Zen Michalski. We spotlight key skill players like Elijah Sarratt, EJ Williams, and sleeper Omar Cooper Jr., plus a reshuffled backfield led by Kaelon Black and Maryland transfer Roman Hemby. Defensively, Mikail Kamara leads a retooled front seven, while a deep safety room and rover-friendly scheme bring new flexibility. Can the Hoosiers overcome transfer portal turnover and climb in the Big Ten? We break down the trenches, the impact transfers, and Indiana’s realistic ceiling in 2025. Segment 4: We dive deep into the Michigan Wolverines’ 2025 outlook following a turbulent 2024 season that ended on a high note with wins over Ohio State and Alabama. With five-star phenom Bryce Underwood arriving and veteran QB Mikey Keene in the fold, Michigan’s quarterback situation is vastly improved. Running backs Justice Haynes and Jordan Marshall form a dangerous duo, but questions remain at wide receiver, tight end, and along the offensive line. Defensively, the Wolverines must replace stars like Mason Graham and Will Johnson, but transfers Tre Williams and Damon Payne add depth to a massive D-line rotation. We also spotlight Ernest Hausmann, Jaishawn Barham, and early enrollee Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng in a retooled linebacker corps. Can Michigan reload and contend again in the Big Ten? Segment 5: We spotlight four college football legends whose careers may one day earn them the highest individual honor—having their jersey numbers retired. We start with Travis Hunter, the 2024 Heisman winner who redefined the term “two-way star” and transformed Colorado’s identity. Then, it’s Ashton Jeanty—Boise State’s record-breaking back who came within inches of Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record. We also highlight Shavon Revel Jr., East Carolina’s inspirational walk-on-turned-star whose loyalty and impact made him a fan favorite, and Mike Green, the Marshall pass rusher whose FBS-leading 17 sacks powered the Herd to a 10-win season. Could these players one day see their numbers hanging in the rafters? We break it all down and dive into what it takes to become a legend in college football.
