Heisman Trophy predictions, Josh Pate moves to On3, college football unionization, and the Top 25 coaches poll — this live stream breaks it all down at once. We kick off with our preseason top five Heisman finalists: Cade Klubnik, Garrett Nussmeier, Dante Moore, Arch Manning, and Jeremiah Smith—analyzing schedule, stats, team success, and voter storylines based on recent trends where nine of ten winners were QBs from top‑10 final poll teams. Next: Josh Pate’s seismic jump from 247/CBS to On3—what it signals for the power shifts in the college football media landscape and why brands and insiders are watching this evolution. Then we move into the first real step toward stabilizing college football: unionization discussions. We unpack the August 3 meeting with 23 Power 4 GMs in support of collective bargaining, NIL caps, agent certification, and on-field pay protections. Is college football about to get organized? Finally, we compare the brand-new Coaches Top 25 poll to my preseason rankings — there’s overlap in the top 12 but also notable disagreements. We dive into teams like Boise State, BYU, Clemson, and Oklahoma to explain why coaches and I see things differently. If you’re a college football fan who demands straight, honest analysis—and info you won’t get anywhere else—this is the live stream for you. Like, subscribe, ring the bell, and hit share.
