Bobby Carpenter Joins the Show: Ohio State’s Title Chances, Jeremiah Smith’s Heisman Case & USC/Clemson Concerns

Tim Murray returns with another edition of the VSiN College Football Betting Podcast featuring former Ohio State linebacker and SiriusXM host Bobby Carpenter.

The show opens with a deep dive into potential Big Ten betting trap spots and situational scheduling angles for top contenders, including Ohio State Buckeyes, Indiana Hoosiers, Oregon Ducks, USC Trojans, Michigan Wolverines, and Penn State Nittany Lions. Tim highlights key sandwich spots, look-ahead games, and underdog opportunities that sharp bettors should already have circled for the 2026 college football season.

Then Bobby Carpenter joins the show to discuss Ohio State’s championship expectations despite losing multiple first-round NFL Draft picks. The conversation covers Julian Sayin’s development, Jeremiah Smith’s Heisman chances, Arthur Smith’s impact as offensive coordinator, and whether the Buckeyes can survive one of the toughest schedules in college football, featuring Texas, Oregon, Indiana, USC, Iowa, Nebraska, and Michigan.

The guys also break down USC’s pressure-filled season under Lincoln Riley, Clemson’s decline under Dabo Swinney, Louisville quarterback Lincoln Kienholz, and Bobby’s most intriguing quarterback to watch this season: Trinidad Chambliss at Ole Miss.

Plus, Tim reacts to growing momentum surrounding College Football Playoff expansion and what it could mean for bettors moving forward.
