College football is changing faster than ever! On this episode of The Next Round, we’re breaking down a historic reported payday for Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor, the looming quarterback shortage in the NCAA Transfer Portal, the renewed debate over a 72-team College Football Super League, and why Illinois could be a nightmare matchup for undefeated UCLA!
🏆 THE 72-TEAM COLLEGE FOOTBALL SUPER LEAGUE — IS IT TIME TO ABANDON CONFERENCES?
- The College Football Playoff is officially expanding to 24 teams in 2027, and the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12 are eliminating their conference championship games after 2026!
- With Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz questioning the purpose of conferences without championship games, we’re revisiting the proposed 72-team College Football Super League.
- Could regional divisions and a new national structure replace traditional conference football? Would a Super League benefit college football, or destroy the traditions and rivalries that make the sport special?
😱 FEAR THE REAPER: ILLINOIS IS COMING FOR UNDEFEATED UCLA!
- The No. 4 UCLA Bruins are 9-0 under first-year head coach Bob Chesney, but Friday night’s Big Ten showdown at the Rose Bowl could be dangerous!
- Bret Bielema’s Illinois Fighting Illini have won FOUR STRAIGHT games and have developed a reputation for knocking off ranked opponents as underdogs.
- Can Illinois quarterback Katin Houser and the Fighting Illini pull off a massive upset? Or will UCLA survive another test and protect its perfect season and College Football Playoff aspirations?
