🏈 College Football Week 8 is here! The Next Round LIVE previews Auburn vs. LSU, Alabama vs. Texas A&M, and the biggest SEC and Big Ten games of Saturday, October 24, 2026. Join Jim Dunaway, Lance Taylor, Ryan Brown, and Brooks Carter for college football analysis, predictions, and spirited debate!
🔥 AUBURN vs. LSU: CAN THE TIGERS DO IT AGAIN?
Alex Golesh and Auburn are coming off a stunning 27-24 road win over Georgia. Now, can Auburn refocus for No. 18 LSU at Jordan-Hare Stadium? Lane Kiffin’s Tigers enter at 5-2, trying to avoid a third loss and keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. Can Auburn build on its biggest win of the season, or will LSU spoil the celebration? And from an Auburn fan’s perspective, is simply playing well enough—or is winning the ONLY acceptable result?
🐘 ALABAMA vs. TEXAS A&M: WHAT MUST CHANGE?
Kalen DeBoer’s No. 13 Crimson Tide return to Bryant-Denny Stadium after consecutive losses to Georgia and Tennessee. What must Alabama improve on offense and defense against the Aggies? We examine Keelon Russell, offensive execution, the running game, physicality, tackling, and the adjustments Alabama needs to make to get back on track.
💪 RYAN GRUBB RESPONDS: IS ALABAMA’S OFFENSE TOUGH?
After Alabama scored just 10 points against Tennessee, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb defended his players’ toughness, saying they’re “tough as hell.” Does that answer the questions about the Tide’s physical identity—or is there a bigger issue with execution and play-calling? We break down the comments and debate what Alabama fans need to see on Saturday.
