Episode notes

Notre Dame was left out of the Playoff field (correctly) and opted to skip a potential bowl game as a result. The Irish are also getting an absurd perk in 2026.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the transfer of Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt. What does that say about ASU while Cal was able to retain Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele?
