VSiN College Football Betting PodcastShow Notes
The Brendan Sorsby saga is officially over, and now the focus shifts to what it means for Texas Tech’s 2026 College Football Playoff and Big 12 Championship hopes. Host Tim Murray is joined by renowned college football handicapper Brad Powers to discuss the impact of Sorsby’s departure, whether Texas Tech remains the team to beat in the Big 12, and why the Red Raiders may still have the most favorable schedule in the conference.

Later, Ryan Hyatt joins the show from Lubbock to provide an in-depth look at Texas Tech’s roster, quarterback situation, transfer portal additions, offensive and defensive outlook, and expectations for Will Hammond as the projected starter.
The episode also features Group of Five futures, conference championship bets, playoff long shots, win total plays, and Brad Powers’ favorite betting positions heading into the 2026 college football season.
