Big 10, SEC Could SHAKEUP College Football if They AGREE to Salary Cap That would Help Big 12, ACC

from Locked On College Football · host Locked On Podcast Network

There have been discussions about a potential salary cap in college football to limit how much money could go into assembling a roster. What would a good number be? On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses a sobering reality for national title contenders this year. Which ones are capable of falling well short of their goals? The G6 Playoff berth for the 2026 season will have a host of contenders, led (some believe) by Boise State. There's a Mountain West team outside of UNLV that should be monitored.  Photo Credit: Jeff Hanisch - Imagn Images Photo Credit: Maria Lysaker - Imagn Images 00:00 Challenges of Implementing Salary Caps 05:48 College football financial disparities 08:39 Future of College Sports Reforms 12:46 National championship contenders discussion 15:18 Ohio State football predictions 17:40 Predicting College Football Team Outcomes 22:00 Jason Eck's coaching impact 23:39 New Mexico as playoff contender 28:18 Jason Eck's coaching impact 30:50 Potential for New Mexico Lobos JOIN THE LOCKED ON EVERYDAYER CLUB (Ad-Free Audio)  https://lockedoncollegefootball.supercast.com/  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  FanDuel  Today's episode is brought to you by FanDuel. From the opening whistle to the final kick, Let There Be Goals on FanDuel.Visithttps://FANDUEL.COMto get started now.  FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.
