T-Cal, formerly Buffed in Prime, joins me to name the sleeper teams we think are being overlooked, break down Indiana's season through four games, and highlight underrated players and top contenders across the sport.

We go through Indiana's 29-23 win over Northwestern, a game the Hoosiers were favored by 20.5 points and won by six, and break down whether that margin is a real warning sign or just a product of a tougher-than-expected Big Ten opener. T-Cal and I get into what Josh Hoover, Bryant Haines' defense, and this roster's overall depth actually look like heading into a bigger test. Replacing D'Angelo Ponds is tough, but Indiana's lines of scrimmage have compensated so far. He also praises Northwestern, specifically quarterback Aidan Chiles, safety Robert Fitzgerald, and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly.

We also name the sleeper programs we think deserve more national attention than they're currently getting, breaking down the specific roster and coaching factors behind each pick rather than just throwing out team names. We spotlight individual players who are producing at a high level without the recognition that comes with a bigger program, and close out by naming the teams we think are legitimate top contenders after four weeks of real results.

T-Cal and I don't always agree on these calls, and we get into it directly when we don't, since a real back-and-forth is more useful than two people agreeing on everything.
