Big Papijt Sports Podcast

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT gives his premature instant reaction to the **Indiana Hoosiers** giving the Alabama Crimson Tide the belt on the biggest stage in college football. JT explains why the Indiana Hoosiers physically dominated Alabama Crimson Tide from the opening kickoff and how the Indiana Hoosiers exposed Alabama Crimson Tide’s lack of grit at the line of scrimmage. This wasn’t about fluke plays or bad luck — JT breaks down how the Indiana Hoosiers were simply the better-coached, tougher, and more disciplined team than the Alabama Crimson Tide. JT also dives into Kalen DeBoer's costly decisions, Alabama’s inability to run the ball, and why Indiana Hoosiers football doesn’t beat itself. The loss stings, but JT explains why this moment says more about where Alabama Crimson Tide football is right now than it does about panic or firing anyone.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the Ole Miss Rebels shocking the Georgia Bulldogs 37–34 in a game that completely unraveled because of coaching malpractice. JT explains why Kirby Smart coached the worst game of his career, made emotional fourth-down decisions, and single-handedly cost the Georgia Bulldogs a shot at another national championship. From the disastrous fourth-and-three call to the blown coverage that set up the game-winning field goal, JT breaks down how Ole Miss Rebels capitalized on every Georgia Bulldogs mistake. JT also gives credit to Pete Golding outcoaching Kirby Smart and Trinidad Chambliss delivering a legacy performance.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the Oregon Ducks' suffocating the Texas Tech Red Raiders in a 23–0 win that exposed why statistics can lie once the College Football Playoff starts. JT explains how the Oregon Ducks completely choked out Texas Tech at the line of scrimmage and why the Oregon Ducks proved you can’t buy a championship through the transfer portal alone. Despite Texas Tech having one of the most expensive rosters in college football, JT breaks down how their offense was never built to survive elite playoff defenses like the Oregon Ducks. JT also dives into Dan Lanning's aggressive approach and why Dante Moore's playmaking was the difference in a game dominated by defense. If you thought Texas Tech was a true title threat, this Oregon Ducks performance forces a serious reality check.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the Miami Hurricanes punching Ohio State in the mouth and proving the entire college football world wrong in the College Football Playoff. JT breaks down why the Miami Hurricanes dominating the line of scrimmage made this win inevitable and why Ohio State was never built to survive that level of physicality. This wasn’t about Carson Beck being elite — it was about the Miami Hurricanes playing complementary football and overwhelming Ohio State where games are actually won. JT explains how Mario Cristobal’s roster construction, freak athletes, and trench dominance exposed Ohio State as a finesse team.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT gives the honest truth about Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders and why the public evaluation of both quarterbacks is missing key context. JT explains why Cam Ward is playing far better than the box score shows, how Cam Ward is being held back by one of the worst situations in the NFL, and why Cam Ward could explode with competent coaching. JT also breaks down why Shedeur Sanders has a clear ceiling, why Shedeur Sanders can win in the right environment, and why Shedeur Sanders was never built to save a dysfunctional franchise like Cleveland. The episode also dives into NFL playoff contenders, the Chargers’ limitations, the Texans’ defensive dominance, and why Josh Allen’s trust issues with the Buffalo Bills are real.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down why the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Miami Hurricanes are being massively underestimated heading into the second round of the College Football Playoff. JT explains why the Alabama Crimson Tide don’t need a dominant run game to beat Indiana, how recency bias is clouding the Indiana matchup, and why a Kalen DeBoer–coached Alabama Crimson Tide team is built for playoff football. He also clears up the lazy narrative around Miami, arguing that the Miami Hurricanes’ trench dominance and roster makeup give them a real path to upsetting Ohio State despite doubts about Carson Beck. JT details why Carson Beck doesn’t need to be a superstar, why the Miami Hurricanes are elite where it matters most, and why Ohio State’s flaws are being ignored. If you’re betting against the Alabama Crimson Tide or the Miami Hurricanes in these matchups, JT explains why that might be a costly mistak

JT reacts to Pittsburgh Steelers collapsing against the Cleveland Browns and blowing a golden chance to win the AFC North, putting the spotlight squarely on Mike Tomlin and the same tired cycle of underachieving football. JT breaks down how Mike Tomlin once again coached down to the competition, how Arthur Smith’s play-calling sabotaged the offense, and how the Pittsburgh Steelers somehow made Shedeur Sanders look unstoppable. JT explains why this loss to the Cleveland Browns is unforgivable, why Mike Tomlin’s résumé no longer excuses the results, and why the Pittsburgh Steelers’ window is slammed shut without real change. With a looming matchup against Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson, JT argues this disaster may define Mike Tomlin’s legacy in Pittsburgh.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down Charles Barkley calling out the NFL for “stealing” Christmas Day from the NBA and explains why the NFL stealing Christmas was inevitable. JT explains why the NFL stealing Christmas isn’t about greed, but about spectacle, ratings, and why football has become appointment viewing in a way the NBA no longer is. From star-driven problems in the NBA to load management killing urgency, JT explains why the NFL stealing Christmas exposes deeper issues with how the NBA markets itself. JT also reacts to Netflix’s sloppy Christmas Day presentation and why the NFL stealing Christmas should force the NBA to stop competing head-on and start working around football instead.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down the massive changing of the guard in the NFL and why true league-wide parity has finally arrived with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs missing the playoffs.

JT also dives into the long-awaited rise of Trevor Lawrence, why this version of Trevor Lawrence changes the Jaguars’ ceiling, and how Trevor Lawrence has officially turned Jacksonville into a real destination franchise. JT calls out the Ravens’ baffling misuse of Derrick Henry, explains why Brian Flores was right about Tua Tagovailoa, and why Miami is now paying for it. JT closes by defending the Raiders’ decision to draft Ashton Genty, breaking down why elite running backs still matter and how Ashton Genty proved that drafting a back in the top 10 can absolutely be worth it.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT gives his thoughts on why the Alabama Crimson Tide are being wildly underestimated heading into the second round of the College Football Playoff. JT explains how the Alabama Crimson Tide matchup with Indiana is being distorted by recency bias, why Alabama’s talent edge and playoff experience matter, and how the Alabama Crimson Tide don’t need perfection to win. JT also breaks down why Miami is a nightmare matchup for Ohio State, why Georgia is poised to overwhelm Ole Miss in the rematch, and why Oregon vs Texas Tech could reshape the future of the NIL era. This episode challenges national narratives, questions conference supremacy, and explains why playoff football is about who you are now — not what you were in October.

JT breaks down how the Miami Hurricanes survived a 10–3 defensive slugfest against the Texas A&M Aggies and why this game was never about style points. JT explains why the Miami Hurricanes won this game in the trenches, leaned on Mark Fletcher late, and let their pass rush wear Texas A&M down when points were at a premium. This wasn’t boring football—it was old-school playoff survival, and the Miami Hurricanes proved they can win ugly just as confidently as they can win a shootout. JT also explains why the Miami Hurricanes are a dangerous matchup for the Ohio State Buckeyes, especially with their defensive front and game-control approach.

JT reacts to Alabama beating Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff and explains why this was the most underestimated Alabama team in years. JT breaks down how two weeks of preparation, in-game adjustments, and elite coaching flipped a 17–0 deficit into a dominant Alabama win over Oklahoma. This episode explains why the national media narratives around Alabama’s decline and coaching instability were always overblown. Alabama didn’t even play its best game — and still reminded everyone what vintage playoff Alabama looks like. With momentum restored, JT explains why Alabama is built to go on a real national title run.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT explains why the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty isn’t dead despite the noise and why the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty is still being underestimated across the league.

Dylan Raiola officially entering the transfer portal sends shockwaves through college football, and JT breaks down why Dylan Raiola is the unquestioned No. 1 quarterback available this cycle. JT explains why Dylan Raiola is different from every other portal QB — proven production, year-to-year improvement, and real program-changing upside. This episode dives into why Nebraska losing Dylan Raiola is a gut punch, how injuries masked just how elite he really is, and why he’s being labeled Patrick Mahomes 2.0 for a reason. JT lays out the top landing spots, including LSU, Miami, and Florida, and explains how Dylan Raiola could instantly elevate any program into CFP contention.

JT breaks down the decision by DJ Lagway to enter the transfer portal after two turbulent seasons at Florida and explains why the hype never matched the on-field reality. JT explains how injuries, poor development, and Billy Napier’s coaching failures stalled DJ Lagway’s growth and turned a former No. 1 quarterback prospect into a full-blown reclamation project. JT argues that DJ Lagway still has real upside, but only in the right system with patient coaching and lower expectations. This episode dives into potential landing spots, why elite programs will likely pass, and how Florida’s reset under John Sumrall made this move inevitable.

JT also lays out why G5 teams were invited into the College Football Playoff in the first place and what it would take for a true Cinderella run to happen.

JT breaks down why Todd Bowles was never the right coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and how the NFC South masked Todd Bowles’ flaws for years. JT explains how Todd Bowles piled up division titles by out-talenting the weakest division in football while consistently underachieving in the playoffs with one of the most loaded rosters in the NFC. From embarrassing late-game collapses to getting outcoached by a rookie quarterback, JT lays out why Todd Bowles is a defensive-minded coach whose defense keeps failing when it matters most.

He also explains how Shedeur Sanders is proving everyone wrong, why John Harbaugh is wasting Lamar Jackson’s prime, and how the Philadelphia Eagles completely fell apart behind Jalen Hurts’ mid-tier play. JT finishes by detailing why the Houston Texans are the AFC team nobody wants to see and why the Buffalo Bills still aren’t built to get over the hump.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down why Notre Dame opting out of their bowl game is a massive turning point for college football and why Notre Dame sent a message the sport can’t ignore. He dives into how BYU got left out of the playoff despite playing for a conference title and why the committee treated Alabama like royalty while dismissing BYU without hesitation. JT explains how Notre Dame, BYU, and Alabama exposed the brutal truth about playoff expansion and the death of bowl season.

He dives into how Indiana beating Ohio State changes the entire future of roster building and why Kurt Signetti just shattered every old rule about who can contend for a national title. JT also unpacks how Georgia dismantled Alabama, exposed every flaw in the Crimson Tide, and reminded the country why Kirby Smart still runs this sport.
