Episode Description from the Publisher

Has college football officially passed Dabo Swinney by? After Clemson’s 51–10 humiliation at the hands of LSU, Jay breaks down why Dabo’s old-school roster-building philosophy may no longer work in today’s transfer portal and NIL era. Plus, we preview the massive No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 5 Texas showdown and explain why Jay believes Arch Manning is ready for his signature moment. NFL Week 1 is here too, with Bet That! picks, upset predictions, and the debut of Fantasy X-Factor: Start Him, Sit Him, Go Get Him. We also hit the biggest quick-news stories around sports, including the Clippers/Kawhi Leonard punishment, Michigan’s controversial win, Tua Tagovailoa in Atlanta, and Oregon’s close call against Boise State. Football is back, the takes are already hot, and Week 1 gave us plenty to argue about. Subscribe to The X-Factor Sportz Podcast and drop your takes in the comments!
