Greg McElroy is joined by new SEC Nation host Matt Barrie to discuss if the BIG 12 and ACC can keep up with the SEC and BIG Ten, if the system as a whole is sustainable and the inevitable playoff expansion and what (if anything) will be lost. Barrie also tells you the moment that changed college football for him, if the SEC can break a three year streak without a National Title and if the SEC could really breakaway from the NCAA? Plus, McElroy issues a mea culpa for leaving Miami’s defensive line out of his Top 10.

What is the most expensive real estate in college football? Answer: the 7 yards between the OT's outside shoulder and the QB's chin. So why not rank the Top 10 defensive line units in college football heading into the 2026 season. Can A.J. Holmes Jr. lead a rebuilt Texas Tech line back to the CFP, is Will Heldt ready to continue the Clemson D-line NFL pedigree, and is everyone sleeping on David Stone and the Oklahoma front? McElroy goes over all it plus tells you why this is the deepest Notre Dame defensive line in a generation, if anyone will be able to run on Texas and why Oregon has far and away the best defensive line in the country.

McElroy dives into the sustainability of the sport moving forward, why the BIG Ten and SEC are in a standoff and if anyone is thinking of the sport as whole or just their conferences. Plus, we hit the mailbag to discuss Michigan’s Jordan Marshall, the Oregon RB room, who is the better overall football player Jeremiah Smith or Malachi Toney and why so many in the media are taking a “dooms day” approach to the 24 team CFP.
