A deep dive into the Texas Longhorns' title chances and a breakdown of the top contenders across the country.
In this episode:
* Debate whether the Texas Longhorns are legitimate national championship contenders or just a product of preseason hype surrounding quarterback Arch Manning.
* Identify the Longhorns' biggest concern as a new offensive line breaking in four starters, which faces an immediate test against Ohio State in week one.
* Analyze the Texas defense: With its NFL-caliber players, the unit is a major strength that is considered one of the best in the country and is expected to carry the team early in the season.
* Explain why there is deep skepticism about Ohio State's coaching changes after losing top coordinators.
* Detail Penn State as a potential "sleeper" team that could win the national title.
* Predictions are made!
