    TNR 9/29/26 - Hour 3 | Keelon Russell v. Kamario Taylor & Auburn IS the Tennessee Trap

    Is Keelon Russell vs. Kamario Taylor the BEST quarterback matchup in college football this week? We’re LIVE on The Next Round with a loaded SEC football show as No. 7 Alabama heads to Starkville for a massive showdown with No. 16 Mississippi State — and two of the hottest young quarterbacks in the country will be at the center of it all. 🏈 KEELON RUSSELL VS. KAMARIO TAYLOR Alabama and Mississippi State are both 4-0 overall and 2-0 in SEC play entering Saturday, and the quarterback numbers are impossible to ignore. Crimson Tide QB Keelon Russell has thrown for 1,129 yards, 8 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions, while Mississippi State star Kamario Taylor has exploded for 1,192 passing yards and 14 touchdowns against only 2 interceptions. Is Russell vs. Taylor the best individual matchup anywhere in college football this weekend? And what will decide Alabama vs. Mississippi State in Starkville? 🐅 IS AUBURN THE TRAP FOR TENNESSEE? No. 17 Tennessee is coming off an emotional 20-17 loss to No. 1 Texas at Neyland Stadium. Now the Volunteers have to immediately regroup for another SEC game against Auburn. The Tigers are 3-1 after surviving Vanderbilt 21-15. Why could this be a dangerous spot for Tennessee? We break down why Auburn has a chance to turn Saturday into a legitimate trap game for the Vols. 🔥 LANE KIFFIN IS ALREADY GOING AFTER THE NINE-GAME SEC SCHEDULE It didn’t take LSU head coach Lane Kiffin long to criticize the SEC’s new nine-game conference schedule. Kiffin called the move a “poor decision” and questioned the workload SEC contenders face compared with teams in other conferences — comments he made before LSU had even played its second conference game. Does Kiffin have a legitimate point about the SEC schedule and the College Football Playoff implications, or is this simply life in the new SEC?

Florida’s win over Ole Miss raises a HUGE question: Could the Gators be the best team in the SEC? Klatt shares his thoughts on Florida’s statement victory and whether Ole Miss’ defense gives Rebels fans real cause for concern.

What did the Texas Longhorns prove against the Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium? Josh shares his takeaways from one of the biggest SEC matchups of the weekend and what it means for the conference race.

And after USC’s loss to the Oregon Ducks, Josh has reached his breaking point with Lincoln Riley. Why is he officially off the Riley train, and what does that say about the direction of USC football? From SEC contenders and breakout quarterbacks to coaching criticism and the future of college football scheduling, this conversation is packed with Josh Pate’s perspective on the sport’s biggest debates. 💬 Join the conversation: Is Florida approaching the top of the SEC?

    TNR 9/28/26 - Hours 3 & 4 | Alabama Has a STAR at QB | Keelon Russell Erupts, Auburn Survives & SEC Power Rankings

    🔥 KEELON RUSSELL’S BEST GAME YET? Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Keelon Russell has been outstanding throughout the 2026 college football season, but Saturday night may have been his breakout performance. Russell completed 21-of-27 passes for a career-high 365 yards and four touchdowns while adding 35 rushing yards and another score in Alabama’s 49-18 win over South Carolina. Through four games, Russell has thrown for 1,129 yards, eight touchdowns and just two interceptions while helping Alabama start 4-0. After taking over for former Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson, has Russell made one of college football’s most difficult quarterback transitions look almost effortless? We break down Russell’s development, his ceiling, and what his emergence could mean for Alabama’s College Football Playoff hopes. 🐘 HOW GOOD CAN ALABAMA’S OFFENSE BE? The Alabama offense has been one of the most explosive units in college football through September. The Crimson Tide has scored 48, 45, 50 and 49 points in its first four games, averaging 48.0 points per game — fourth-best nationally. Can Kalen DeBoer’s offense maintain anything close to that pace once the SEC schedule gets tougher? What would be a realistic scoring average for Alabama by the end of the regular season, and just how dangerous can this offense become with Keelon Russell at quarterback? 🦅 AUBURN SURVIVES VANDERBILT — NOW WHAT? The Auburn Tigers earned a much-needed Homecoming victory with a 21-15 win over the Vanderbilt Commodores, but it wasn’t always pretty. Auburn finished with only 279 total yards and was outgained 311-279, but the Tigers’ defense delivered one of its better performances of the season, holding Vanderbilt to just one touchdown. What did we learn about Alex Golesh’s Auburn Tigers, and can the offense find another gear before the schedule gets significantly more difficult? 😳 AUBURN’S BRUTAL OCTOBER IS HERE Auburn is about to enter one of the toughest stretches anywhere in college football. The Tigers face Tennessee, Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss during a brutal October SEC gauntlet. What should Auburn fans realistically expect from that four-game stretch? How many wins would represent a successful month — and what does Auburn need to improve immediately to compete with the SEC’s best teams? 🏆 SEC POWER RANKINGS AFTER ONE MONTH It’s time to rank the SEC after the first month of the 2026 college football season. Only Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State and Texas remain undefeated. Who belongs at the top of the conference entering October? We debate where the Crimson Tide, Gators, Bulldogs, Longhorns, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, LSU, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Auburn and the rest of the SEC belong right now. 📺 JOIN THE LIVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL CONVERSATION We’re breaking down all of the biggest stories across Alabama football, Auburn football, SEC football, the College Football Playoff and the 2026 college football season.

    TNR 9/25/26 - Hours 3 & 4 | Alabama QB Keelon Russell In Good Company, Auburn’s Lost Magic & Florida’s Tebow Numbers

    LIVE on The Next Round: We’re breaking down the biggest stories in SEC football and college football, including Alabama QB Keelon Russell’s red-hot start, Auburn’s fading Jordan-Hare advantage, Florida’s explosive offense under Jon Sumrall, the incredible rise of Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss, and the Buffalo Wild Wings Pick 3. 🔥 HOW GOOD HAS KEELON RUSSELL BEEN FOR ALABAMA? How good has Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Keelon Russell really been to start the 2026 college football season — and where does his opening stretch rank among the best quarterback starts we’ve seen over the last 25 years? Russell has helped Alabama open 3-0 while completing 68.7% of his passes for 764 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding 133 rushing yards and two more scores on the ground. After his breakout performance against Florida State, we compare his early trajectory to some of the biggest quarterback names of the modern era. 🏟️ HAS AUBURN LOST THE JORDAN-HARE MAGIC? The Auburn Tigers just fell 44-39 to Florida at home, continuing a troubling trend in SEC games on The Plains. What happened to one of college football’s most intimidating home-field advantages? Auburn is just 5-16 in SEC home games since 2021. Is the disappearing “Jordan-Hare magic” simply the result of the Tigers’ recent struggles, or has the mystique surrounding one of the SEC’s most famous stadiums genuinely faded? 🐊 FLORIDA IS PUTTING UP TIM TEBOW NUMBERS Jon Sumrall has the Florida Gators looking like one of the most explosive offenses in college football. Through three games, Florida is 3-0 and averaging an incredible 54.0 points and 544.3 yards per game. For comparison, the 2008 Tim Tebow-led national championship Gators averaged 43.6 points and 445.1 yards per game over the full season. The sample size is still small, but after Florida piled up 495 yards in a road SEC win at Auburn, how much of this offensive explosion is real — and can the Gators keep it rolling? 🌟 HOW CLOSE WERE WE TO NEVER KNOWING TRINIDAD CHAMBLISS? The rise of Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss is one of the most fascinating stories in college football. Before becoming a star in the SEC, Chambliss was playing Division II football at Ferris State — and initially didn’t even want to leave. Some FBS programs reportedly had difficulty even finding enough film on him during the transfer process. How close was college football to completely missing one of the sport’s breakout quarterbacks? 🍗 BUFFALO WILD WINGS PICK 3 The Buffalo Wild Wings Pick 3 returns as the guys make their selections for another huge weekend of college football. Which teams are we riding with, which matchups are the toughest to call, and who has the best chance to cash their picks? 📺 JOIN THE NEXT ROUND LIVE Join Jim Dunaway, Lance Taylor and Ryan Brown LIVE for Alabama football, Auburn football, Florida football, Ole Miss football, SEC football, college football news, analysis, predictions and much more. #CollegeFootball #SECFootball #AlabamaFootball #KeelonRussell #rolltide #alabama #crimsontide #cfb #cfbnews #secnews #auburntigers #wareagle #AuburnFootball #FloridaGators #OleMiss #TrinidadChambliss #JonSumrall #TheNextRound SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - youtube.com/@nextroundlive @TNRClips - youtube.com/@TNRClips FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Brooks Carter: /BrooksACarter Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com 00:00 Introduction 00:06:30 Alabama hosts South Carolina 00:22:20 Auburn looking to break SEC home losing streak vs. Vanderbilt 00:24:45 viewing menu 00:33:45 Alexander Shunnarah's picks 00:46:30 former Auburn QB Ben Leard joins the show 00:54:00 Alex Golesh on Auburn's offensive line 00:56:40 Oregon at USC 01:02:50 4 Downs 01:21:20 Shane Beamer's SEC struggles 01:27:45 Pick 3 - TNR staff picks 01:40:00 college football injury reports 01:46:45 Trash 01:54:30 CFB games we're most looking forward to Learn more about your ad choices.

    TNR on Sport & State 9/25/26 - Hour 1 | FOOTBALL FRIDAY: Texas at Tennessee, Ole Miss at Florida

    College Football Week 4 is here, and Saturday brings one of the biggest slates of the young 2026 season, loaded with massive SEC showdowns, ranked matchups and games that could reshape the College Football Playoff race. We’re LIVE breaking down everything you need to know before kickoff! 🏈 #1 Texas at #14 Tennessee The Longhorns take the No. 1 ranking into Neyland Stadium for their first meeting with Tennessee since the 1969 Cotton Bowl and just the fourth matchup between the programs all-time.

Despite Ole Miss climbing into the Top 5, Florida enters the weekend as the betting favorite. Can the Rebels add another ranked SEC win, or will the Gators defend home field? 🐯 #23 Texas A&M at #10 LSU Both teams enter 2-1 overall and 0-1 in SEC play. LSU is trying to respond after losing at Ole Miss, while Texas A&M is coming off a stunning home loss to Kentucky.

    Last Call | Can Alabama Handle LaNorris Sellers? Jake Coker Breaks Down a HUGE SEC Weekend

    Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for a loaded college football Week 4 edition of the show featuring an in-depth Alabama vs. South Carolina preview, SEC betting picks, upset predictions and some incredible stories from Coker’s playing days under Nick Saban. The biggest focus is No. 8 Alabama’s Saturday night matchup with South Carolina at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Crimson Tide enters the game with freshman quarterback Keelon Russell leading the offense, while the Gamecocks come to Tuscaloosa trying to respond after blowing an early 16-0 lead in a 41-34 home loss to Mississippi State. Jake breaks down what Alabama must do against dangerous South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers, why containing mobile quarterbacks requires discipline along the line of scrimmage and why establishing the running game could be critical for Russell and the Crimson Tide offense. Alabama is also getting healthier offensively. Running back AK Dear and wide receiver Noah Rogers are available after missing the beginning of the season, while the Tide will be without several defenders, including linebackers Justin Hill and Desmond Umeozulu. Jake also discusses how Alabama can continue finding explosive opportunities for star receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams. Coker takes us inside the Nick Saban era with an unbelievable practice story involving Da’Ron Payne, Ross Pierschbacher and a brutal half-line drill just before Alabama played for a national championship. It’s a reminder of just how physical those legendary Crimson Tide practices could be. Then Mick and Jake turn their attention to a massive SEC Week 4 slate: 🏈 No. 1 Texas at No. 14 Tennessee — Can the Vols pull off the upset in Knoxville? 🏈 Oklahoma at No. 2 Georgia — Can Brent Venables’ defense keep Oklahoma within striking distance? 🏈 No. 4 Ole Miss at No. 21 Florida — Why are Jon Sumrall’s Gators favored against Trinidad Chambliss and one of college football’s hottest teams? 🏈 Vanderbilt at Auburn — Jake explains why he likes Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium. 🏈 South Alabama at Kentucky — Is Kentucky laying too many points after its upset of Texas A&M? 🏈 Tulsa at Arkansas — Pressure continues to build around Ryan Silverfield’s Razorbacks.

    Last Call Ryan Grubb Apologizes to Alabama Fans + Keelon Russell Rises | South Carolina Preview

    Alabama football is once again at the center of the college football conversation. Ryan Grubb’s comments about Crimson Tide fans, Keelon Russell’s rapid development at quarterback, concerns about Kane Wommack’s defense, the SEC’s new nine-game conference schedule and a dangerous South Carolina matchup headline a loaded discussion. We start with the controversy surrounding Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, who criticized the “boo birds” after the Crimson Tide fell behind Florida State 21-6 before eventually rallying for a 50-36 win. Grubb later apologized to the Alabama fan base. How should coaches and players handle criticism in Tuscaloosa, and how different is the environment under Kalen DeBoer compared to the Nick Saban era? The conversation also turns to Keelon Russell, who continues to show why his ceiling is so intriguing. Russell threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns without an interception against Florida State, and his development, accuracy, athleticism and command of Alabama’s offense are becoming major storylines as SEC play heats up. Defensively, there are still questions. Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels threw for 377 yards on just 17 completions—an average of 22.2 yards per completion. Duce Robinson finished with 135 receiving yards, while Micahi Danzy, Jayvan Boggs and Samuel Singleton Jr. all produced explosive gains. Alabama did, however, intercept Daniels three times. We break down Kane Wommack’s aggressive approach, the explosive plays Alabama surrendered and why those turnovers proved so important. Plus, the SEC has officially moved to a nine-game conference schedule in 2026. Is the tougher weekly grind ultimately good for Alabama and the league, or does it make the College Football Playoff path unnecessarily difficult? We debate the impact on recruiting, NIL exposure, television value and championship contention. Then it’s time to preview Alabama vs. South Carolina. The Gamecocks enter Tuscaloosa at 2-1 after a 41-34 loss to Mississippi State in which LaNorris Sellers threw for 282 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Can Shane Beamer’s team threaten Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium, or will the Crimson Tide’s improving offense and deep running back room take control? We’re also on location at Dancing Rabbit Golf Club at Pearl River Resort, home to the Azaleas and Oaks courses, with plenty of stories from the road along the way.
