About this listen

The official SEC Football preseason rankings are out, and it's time to separate the hype from reality. This week, we're tearing apart the consensus picks and telling you why most analysts are sleeping on the Oklahoma Sooners in their first real SEC campaign. We break down why Brent Venables' squad is poised to not just compete, but make a serious run.

Then, we turn our attention to the most critical position on the field. The post-Jalen Milroe era has begun in Tuscaloosa, but is Ty Simpson ready for the spotlight? We dive into the film and explain why Simpson has all the tools to be the next great quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Finally, we head to Austin to tackle the biggest "what if" in college football. With Quinn Ewers leading the Texas Longhorns, the pressure is mounting. We discuss the monumental expectations on Arch Manning's shoulders and ask the crucial question: If Ewers falters or gets injured, can the most famous backup in the country step in and keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive?
