    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. Arch Manning leads Texas into one of college football’s toughest road environments, while Tennessee turns to true freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon for the biggest test of his young career. Can the Vols knock off the nation’s top-ranked team? 🔥 #4 Ole Miss at #21 Florida Ole Miss is coming off a huge 32-24 win over LSU, but the Rebels now have to prove they can do it again on the road in The Swamp. 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. One team leaves Baton Rouge with an 0-2 SEC record and a much more difficult road toward the College Football Playoff. 🏈 Falcons get first win, dominate Packers on the road 🏈 Monday's headlines today 🏈 White Sox clinch playoff berth 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 Learn more about your ad choices.

    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.

We reveal our latest NFL Power Rankings, debate which teams look like legitimate Super Bowl contenders, identify the biggest early surprises and discuss which preseason expectations may already need to be reconsidered. 💍 BEST NFL PLAYERS TO NEVER WIN A SUPER BOWL Dan Marino.

    TNR 9/23/26 - Hour 3 | Sumrall's AXE TO GRIND & Bigger Concern: Auburn Offense or Defense?

    🐊 DOES JON SUMRALL HAVE AN AXE TO GRIND AGAINST AUBURN? First-year Florida head coach Jon Sumrall picked up his first SEC victory with the Gators by beating Auburn 44-39 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Florida rolled up 495 total yards, including 243 rushing yards, and Sumrall made it clear afterward that he liked the matchup. We discuss whether there’s something extra behind Florida’s edge against Auburn — and what the result says about both programs moving forward. 🦅 WHAT SHOULD WORRY AUBURN MORE: THE OFFENSE OR DEFENSE? Alex Golesh’s Tigers fell to 2-1 after the Florida loss. Auburn finished with 373 yards, but Florida produced 495 and repeatedly created explosive plays. Golesh pointed afterward to Auburn’s slow offensive start as well as a defense that surrendered 12 explosive plays for more than 300 yards.

    TNR on Sport & State 9/23/26 - Hour 2 | Oregon Ducks Facing Elimination? Best QBs in State and Ole Miss History?

    🔄 WHO ARE COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S BIGGEST BOUNCE-BACK CANDIDATES? Which teams desperately need a win this Saturday? Several programs have already suffered damaging early-season losses, but one big victory could completely change the conversation. We look at the teams with the best opportunity to get their seasons back on track — and the programs that could see their College Football Playoff hopes take another major hit with a loss. 🦆 IS OREGON FACING A CFP ELIMINATION GAME? One of the biggest games of the weekend features No. 20 Oregon at No. 12 USC. Oregon already owns one loss after falling 39-31 at Oklahoma State, meaning another defeat would leave the Ducks sitting at 2-2. With the SEC off to a strong start nationally and playoff competition already beginning to take shape, how much margin for error does Oregon really have? Is USC essentially a must-win game for Dan Lanning and the Ducks if they want to remain serious College Football Playoff contenders? 🏈 THE BEST QB YEAR IN MISSISSIPPI HISTORY? The state of Mississippi has produced two of the biggest quarterback stories in college football this season. Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss has thrown for 924 yards and seven touchdowns while helping lead the Rebels to a 3-0 start. Meanwhile, Mississippi State QB Kamario Taylor has thrown for 832 yards, 11 touchdowns and just one interception during the Bulldogs' 3-0 start.
