On3 senior national college football reporter Chris Low joins The Next Round for a loaded conversation on the biggest storylines shaking up SEC football and the future of college football.

And were SEC coaches misled about how a 9-game schedule would impact the College Football Playoff, championship races and postseason access? 👍 Like this video if you enjoy in-depth college football and SEC coverage. 🔔 Subscribe to The Next Round for more interviews, analysis, debates and breaking college football discussion all season long. #CollegeFootball #SEC #SECfootball #LaneKiffin #KirbySmart #LSUFootball #GeorgiaFootball #CollegeFootballPlayoff #CFB Learn more about your ad choices.
