College Football News & Predictions 🚨| CFB Matchups to Watch | Early Heisman Odds

On this weeks episode I dive into the upcoming 2026 College Football season! With spring coming to a close and as we progress into the summer months, we are less than 100 days until the college football season is here and there is no shortage of News. The 24-Team playoff is still in the rumors but has been picking up traction as the weeks progress by other SEC coaches and University Presidents. The SEC and Big10 run college football but changes are only made if both parties agree on said changes. The Big10, Big12 and ACC are all showing favor and support of a new expanded 24-Team model, while the SEC is not in favor, which is the only thing holding this change at bay. Is the 24-Team Expansion Inevitably going to happen or will something else change this? As the CFB season approaches there is no shortage of games to talk about, but the most fascinating weeks in this years schedule are weeks 2 & 10, with massive conference championship and playoff implications both early and late into the season. Arch Manning and Texas host Ohio State in week 2 in a rematch of last years opening season. In week 10 the, the MOST STACKED week of the year, LSU hosting Bama, Ole Miss and Georgia in a rematch of last years Sugar Bowl, BYU at Utah, Oregon traveling to Columbus to play the Buckeyes and the most anticipated matchup....Miami traveling to South Bend to take on Notre Dame!!! Which games will impact the playoff picture the most? All this and more on this weeks episode!

College Football Expansion Rumors🚨| Aaron Rodgers Return to Steelers?

On this weeks episode I dive into the rumors and discussions taking place about expanding the current college football playoff from 12 teams to 24 teams. Pretty much every college football fan can agree that this would one bad for the sport, perhaps some good would come from it...only because so much would be messed up in the first place. With the Playoff expanded to 24 teams there would be little to no sense of urgency and officially make the regular season meaningless. Are we heading to a problematic College Football?When USC hired Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma, they expected National prominence and they have been delivered anything but in recent memory. After Caleb Williams led USC to an 11 win season in year one of Lincoln Rileys USC tenure. Riley has not won double digit games since his inaugural season with the Trojans. With probably his most talented well rounded team since he started at USC in 2026, is it Playoff or Bust for Lincoln Riley? All this and more on this weeks episode!

CFB 2026 Top Games | NFL Draft Talk

I AM BACK!! Im back on YouTube after my 7 month hiatus. With another college football and NFL season in the books I'm back to discuss what lies ahead for 2026. In this episode I discuss the most intriguing games in the upcoming 2026 College Football season. The rematch between Miami and Notre Dame looks to make waves after a controversial ending to the regular season in 2025 where despite being ahead of Miami in every single CFP Poll, the head to head matchup came back to bite Notre Dame as Miami would make the CFP over the Irish on their way to their first National Title appearance since 2002. In the rematch of the Big10 title game between Ohio State and National Champion Indiana, Ohio State looks to knock off the champs to once again claim the Big10.Perhaps the most intriguing game of 2026 is none other than the LSU Tigers traveling to Ole Miss, Lane Kiffins old team. With Lane Kiffin packing up and ditching a college football playoff team right before the start of the playoff, Ole Miss looks to humiliate Lane and his Tiger squad. And with the NFL draft a few days away I dive into a recent mock Draft by NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah to give my opinion on what should be a very impactful draft for all 32 NFL teams. All this and more on my first episode back!

Ohio State Takes Down Arch and Texas | Miami Holds Off Notre Dame | FSU Steamrolls Alabama🚨

On this weeks episode, I dive into Week 1 of the 2025 College Football Season which was nothing short of cinematic!!! The Most hyped matchup of the weekend was No. 1 #texaslonghorns and Arch Manning traveling to Columbus to take on the 3rd ranked defending national champion #ohiostatebuckeyes , In Arch Mannings first true road game there was a lot to be desired as the Buckeyes defense shut Arch and the Longhorns down the majority of the game as the defending Champs win 14-7. Are the Buckeyes primed to go back-to-back? Will Arch Live up to the hype of being a Manning?In the battle of the Death Valleys, No. 9 #lsutigers traveled to South Carolina to take on the No. 4 #clemsontigers . In a battle of the Tigers Heisman hopeful Garrett Nussmeier led LSU to a 17-10 victory over Dabo Sweenys Tigers. Does Brian Kelly finally have a team capable of winning a national championship in the SEC? Is LSU now the favorites to win the SEC? And will Clemsons lack of depth and transfer portal usage be their downfall?In a rivalry renewed, No. 6 #notredamefightingirish traveled down to South Florida to take on the No. 10 #miamihurricanes . In Carson Becks first game as a Hurricane he started to look like the 2023 version of himself throwing for over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns while throwing no interceptions and commiting no turnovers, the Hurricanes held off the 2024 national runner-ups comeback attempt and took the game 27-24 in the first matchup against ND since 2017. Does Miami finally have a complete team to make a College Football Playoff Run? Will Carson Beck return back to his complete form? And Will Notre Dame rebound?In a game many thought was going to be a blowout the No. 8 #alabamacrimsontide traveled down to Tallahassee to take on the unranked #floridastateseminols . Many believed Alabama would steamroll FSU considering the Seminols went 2-10 last year, but to everyones surprise, Florida State beat the breaks off of Alabama 31-17 in a game that was not that close, FSU bullied and dominated every aspect of the game on thier way to announce they are back and this is not the same team as last year. Will FSU fight for the ACC this year? And is Kalen Debour going to last the rest of the season? All this on this weeks episode!

NEW CFB PLAYOFF MODEL?! | Joel Klatt Top 10 CFB QBS | NBA FINALS SET

On this weeks episode after taking a week off, I dive back into college football and the college football playoff format. This past year was the first iteration of the 12-Team Playoff and was met with mixed feelings towards it. The 12-Team playoff is switching to a straight 12-Seeding model rather than the 4 highest ranked conference champions getting the first round bye. More rumblings are happening with the college football playoff possibly expanding to 16 teams by 2026 and the 2 powerhouse conferences the Big 10 and SEC look to claim the most automatic bids in the coming years of the CFP. Will this ruin the CFP and College Football? Only time will tell.The NBA has reached its conclusion.....The Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals. Both teams have never won and NBA Finals so we will be crowning a first time champion this year but with uninteresting superstars in the eyes of many...will the ratings continue to drop as they have over the past few years? We will find out! All this and more on this weeks episode!

PURDY SIGNS EXTENSION 🚨| NBA Finals Prediction | Miami Hurricanes Outlook

On this weeks episode I go into the recent news about 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy! It has long been speculated whether or not San Francisco would sign Brock to a massive contract extension or to a more team friendly deal! Over this past weekend the 49ers did exactly that. Brock Purdy signed a 5 Year Extensions worth $265 Million, $181 Million Guaranteed, at $53 Million Per Year. This extension makes Brock the highest payed player in 49ers history and one of the top 10 highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL! Is Brock worth this kind of contract or have the 49ers made a big mistake that will backfire on the franchise? This and more on this weeks episode!
