Big Papijt Sports Podcast

On this episode of the JT Sports Live, JT breaks down a bold prediction that the Big Ten’s grip on college football could end in 2026 as programs like Texas and Miami position themselves to take control of the national title race. He also dives into why the “pay for players” narrative didn’t suddenly begin with NIL, and why money alone doesn’t explain recruiting dominance or championship success. JT examines Michigan’s wildcard potential with Bryce Underwood, the development Oklahoma needs from John Mateer, and why Marcus Freeman’s NFL bloodline recruiting strategy could give Notre Dame long-term roster stability. Plus, JT explains why USC quarterback Jayden Maiava might be the most overlooked elite passer in the country and a major factor in the Trojans’ playoff hopes.
