Episode notes

BYU's 2025 season was not good enough in the eyes of the committee to make the 12-team Playoff, getting left out at 11-2. The Cougars can replicate that record in 2026.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Washington State radio analyst Alex Brink to discuss Kriby Moore's arrival. Optimism in Pullman is warranted.
