Jon Wilner of the ‘Bay Area News Group’ shot down recent online rumors that the Big 12 would soon invite Oregon State and Washington State or was considering doing so.
Is there a world in which the Beavs and Cougs could get picked up by the ACC when FSU/Clemson leave the league?
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, I am joined by ‘Locked On Vols’ host Eric Cain.
The Vols’ ability to compete for a Playoff spot will be decided in 2 of their first 4 games when they battle NC State, and then Oklahoma on the road to begin SEC play.
Oregon State will play seven Mountain West opponents this year under first-year HC Trent Bray.
Carter Bahns of BeaverBlitz.com and 247Sports joins the show to predict OSU’s record in 2024 as they seek to stay in the national college football narrative. (22:37)
