College football is back, and so are the overreactions. In this episode, we break down the hottest takes coming out of Week 1 in the Big 12 and across the national landscape including whether the Alabama dynasty is over. From declaring playoff contenders after one game, to writing off entire programs too early, the hype and panic are running wild. We’ll look at which Big 12 teams are getting too much love, which ones are being overlooked, and how the national conversation around the SEC, Big Ten, and other conferences impacts the Big 12’s standing. Plus, we’ll separate the truth from the noise — figuring out which “overreactions” might actually have some merit as the season unfolds.
