USC and Lincoln Riley should always have a top 5 quarterback, but last year's starter, Miller Moss, is at Louisville and one analyst believes Moss be one in 2025.

Big Ten flexes its muscles against SEC scheduling. Is a nine-game conference slate the future of college football?

Spencer McLaughlin and fellow Locked On hosts tackle the Big Ten vs SEC scheduling debate, predicting Illinois' football win total, and dissecting potential NCAA tournament expansion. The crew analyzes Brett Bielema's bold stance on conference parity and debates the merits of a 76-team March Madness field. Key matchups for Illinois, including showdowns with Ohio State and Washington, take center stage as the hosts weigh in on the Illini's chances for a breakout season.

Tune in for heated debates on college football's power dynamics and the future of postseason play in both football and basketball.

The recruiting dead period has taken effect until July 31st but USC's 2026 is alive and cruising into the summer needing just five more recruits to close out the class. The new recruiting calendar has moved things up quicker, including with the recruits making their commitments. The Trojans are so far ahead of everyone else that there's not much left to do.

USC is a sleeping giant that is trying to wake up and win more games so they can improve the roster with better recruiting. It feels like USC is doing it backwards though. I explain in the show's second segment.

The Trojans have a long lineage of great WRs., however, Big Mike Williams might the best of them all.

USC's No.1 ranked recruiting class is filled with the most elite blue chip prospects in this cycle but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have more. During the show's first segment, I breakdown how the class should be better and why it will be better if they win more games n the field.

The Trojans are known for having some of the best quarterbacks who have ever played; One of them was Sam Darnold. During the second segment I illustrate the parallels between Sam and Jayden Maiava.

In the 3rd segment, I talk about the advantages USC will have when the football scholarship cap increases to 105, as well as what other sports teams will have more scholarships.

USC's defensive line is going to be so good they'll only need the first half of the first game to prove how good they'll be in 2025. The talent level and depth is better than its ever been and won't need long to prove it considering the early season competition.

The Trojans have the No.1 recruiting class and it's been fun watching them build the class after going 7-6 the year before. The only thing that has been more fun is watching the Oregon program flounder during the 2026 recruiting cycle. I have all the details and why USC is in great shape and why Oregon isn't.

In the 3rd segmen I break down Athlon sports picks to be the Big 10 champion in 2025. USC is picked to finish 9th behind teams like Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska. The Trojans will play all three in 2025.

The Trojans 2026 recruiting class already has 30 commitments out of the 35 recruits who have taken their official visits to USC, which means it's close to being closed. Lincoln Riley hosted 10 recruits for their official visit over the weekend, and 9 of them were already committed to the class. I'll tell you who could be next and when it might happen.

USC's offensive line has a a couple of question marks but the schedule will the guys time to prepare for their first real test. I have some goals that I think the offensive line should strive for in its first three games.

I have another top 5 list to talk about in the show's 3rd segment. Which games made your top 5 since 2000?

USC won the Luke Wafle recruiting war against Ohio State. and Penn St, strengthening its grip on their No.1 ranked recruiting class, while upsetting other fans bases. The Trojans are assembling potentially one of the best defensive line classes in a long time and I have all of the news & notes with how USC got Wafle.

Jonas Williams has the chance to be very special when he arrives at USC in 2026. On the last day of the Elite 11 Finals, Williams showed off why. In the 7 on 7 setting he went 18-22 and 7 TDs to lead the field of participants.

This week's Friday Rant takes aim at the Buckeye fans who look like Barney Rubble and our upset with USC.
