Ohio State’s 2026 recruiting class is underrated, and I’m here to explain why. I define how multiple recruits like Chris Henry, Jr., Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, Khary Wilder, Sam Greer, Tucker Smith, Aaron Thomas, and Luke Fahey will be key contributors during their OSU careers.

Plus, Ryan Day and his coaching staff assembled several more recruits that few people are discussing. I define which prospects those are and provide detailed evaluations.

Oklahoma State plays at Oregon this Saturday, and very few people give the Cowboys a chance to upset the Ducks. Should Oklahoma State be 27.5-point underdogs? That’s crazy.

Along with Locked On Oklahoma State podcaster Cody Stovall, we discuss how Oklahoma State can at least keep this game close and prove the Vegas insiders wrong.

Which first-year college football quarterbacks do you trust and which ones do you feel will bust? I break down Week 1 signal-callers who fit into which category with straightforward takes backed by statistics and some in-person evaluations.

I also take a hard look at win totals for teams that these quarterbacks play for and discuss what’s needed to achieve their goals.

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer put on a show versus Illinois State with 30 of 37 passing attempts completed. He’s one of the Transfer Portal’s biggest hits. Can Mateer lead the Sooners to the College Football Playoff?

Similarly, Tennessee Transfer Portal quarterback Joey Aguilar had a big showing versus Syracuse. Did the Vols actually improve their quarterback position?

The Sooners also cashed in with two recent commitments, and The Portal Podcast discusses more recent commits as well.

The Auburn Tigers ran over the Baylor Bears, with quarterback Jackson Arnold leading the way with 137 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground. The offensive line, led by All-American candidate Connor Lew, did a tremendous job of pushing the Bears off the line of scrimmage.

Baylor’s defense definitely has problems, and that’s a reason Dave Aranda is likely to end up being on the chopping block until further notice. The offense is great but Aranda is supposed to be a defensive specialist.

Finally, Nebraska gave up 202 yards rushing to Cincinnati. Yes, Cincinnati. Not good, not good at all!

The Penn State Nittany Lions have two 5-star class of 2027 commitments, but are they really committed to James Franklin and his squad? The latest on Kemon Spell and Khalil Taylor are recruits we must discuss.

Penn State’s quarterback recruiting is heading into a critical stretch. Will PSU add highly regarded Keegan Croucher to their future roster?

The Syracuse Orange will attempt to upset the Tennessee Volunteers, but it’s going to be hard for Notre Dame transfer quarterback Steve Angeli to overcome a talented UT defense.

Fran Brown’s squad has much hope for the future with their tremendous 2026 recruiting class, but the Vols are already loaded up along the trenches for UCLA transfer quarterback Joey Aguilar.

Texas at Ohio State brings Arch Manning to the forefront of college football. Will the legacy quarterback be ready for the raucous Horseshoe environment? Does the revamped Texas offensive line play well enough to provide Manning time to throw?

The Texas defense will also face an Ohio State offensive line in flux, with multiple changes during fall camp. Quarterback Julian Sayin will throw to Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate, and Brandon Inniss, but that’s if the Buckeyes can keep Longhorns defensive end Colin Simmons out of the backfield.

I disclose the hidden matchups, concerns for the Buckeyes and Longhorns, and discuss the FanDuel over/under totals for the teams and player props. College football is back!
