College football is back, and the Scoop Around the Loop crew is diving headfirst into the 2025 season! In this episode, Thomas, Andrew, Tyler, and Brady break down their favorite teams—Iowa, Iowa State, and Notre Dame—while also taking a look at the national picture.

From analyzing Iowa State’s opening matchup, to previewing Iowa’s road ahead in the Big Ten, and debating Notre Dame’s playoff chances, the guys give their predictions, hopes, and bold takes for the season. You’ll also hear plenty of laughs, behind-the-scenes stories, and some off-the-field moments (including a rough 5:30 a.m. wake-up call courtesy of a mischievous pup).

Whether you’re a Hawkeye, Cyclone, or Fighting Irish fan—or just love college football—you won’t want to miss this kickoff conversation.

Listen now and get ready for another season under the lights!
