AP Top 25 Overrated & Underrated Teams, Jazz Schedule Hype & McCae Hillstead Interview | Front Row
It's college football season and the AP Top 25 Preseason Poll is HERE! Jeremiah Jensen, Stevenson Sylvester, and Sam Farnsworth break it all down on this edition of KSL Sports Front Row.
BYU checks in at No. 14 — their highest preseason ranking since 1985 — and Utah lands at No. 21 in just their ninth-ever preseason appearance. But who's overrated and who's underrated? The crew makes their picks, and Texas A&M, USC, Notre Dame, and Miami are all in the crosshairs. Plus, find out why the guys think the Big 12 isn't getting the respect it deserves.
Then it's the quarterback showdown debate: The guys break down the QBR numbers, the weapons around each QB, and make their picks — with a 100-pushup wager on the line.
The Utah Jazz schedule is out, and for the first time in years, this team is built to WIN. Four nationally televised games on KSL, Darryn Peterson hype, and a roster that has the guys genuinely excited about Jazz basketball again.
We also sit down with McCae Hillstead, Utah State's starting quarterback, who opens up about his journey back to Logan, what sold him on Coach Bronco Mendenhall's staff, and the Aggies' ambitions in the new Pac-12.
And we close it out with This or That: NFL Wide Receiver Edition and the funniest Jayden Daniels #5 jersey memes from around the internet. Even the U.S. government got in on the jokes.
