Nate Bishop, Scoop Duck, Oregon Football, Dan Lanning, Dylan Raiola, Ohio State Football, UCLA Football, and USC Football are the focus of this episode as I talk with Nate Bishop about Oregon’s path to the College Football Playoff and its showdown with Ohio State. Oregon is 5-3 overall and 3-2 in the Big Ten, and it debuted at No. 23 in the first College Football Playoff rankings. The Ducks are coming off a 34-26 comeback win over Northwestern in which Raiola threw for 336 yards and three touchdowns. Ohio State is 6-2 and No. 12 after a 30-18 loss to USC. We discuss what Oregon’s path to the playoff looks like and why the Ducks want UCLA and USC, their former Pac-12 rivals, to succeed. UCLA is 8-0 and ranked No. 8, and USC is 7-2 and ranked No. 20. We talk about how other chaos in college football could maximize Oregon’s chances of making the field. I also ask Nate for a preview of Oregon’s battle with Ohio State on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS, where Ohio State is currently about a 7.5-point home favorite. We discuss the health at running back, what Oregon needs from Raiola, why the defense should handle Ohio State’s offense, and what a win over the Buckeyes would do for Oregon’s season. I tell you whether Nate and I agree. College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

Kris Drew, Dead Air Sports, Ohio State Football, Ryan Day, USC Football, Lincoln Riley, Jeremiah Smith, and Oregon Football are the focus of this episode as I talk with Kris Drew about Ohio State’s 30-18 loss to USC and Ohio State’s upcoming game against Oregon. USC led 20-9 at halftime and improved to 7-2, while Ohio State fell to 6-2. The Buckeyes played without starting quarterback Julian Sayin, committed 11 penalties, were outgained by 126 yards, and lost the time-of-possession battle by nearly 20 minutes. Ohio State dropped from No. 2 to No. 11 in the AP poll and landed at No. 12 in the first College Football Playoff rankings, the first team out of the projected bracket. We give a synopsis of the loss and ask whether it changes our view of Day. We take on the criticisms that he has peaked as a coach, is too conservative, and does less with more. We also discuss whether Ohio State will make the playoff, whether it can win it all, and whether Smith will win the Heisman. We ask whether this win changes our view of Riley and the USC program, and who has the better 2026 recruiting class, with USC finishing No. 1 on 247Sports and Rivals/On3 and Ohio State No. 5 and No. 6. We also preview Oregon vs Ohio State on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS, where Ohio State is currently about a 7.5-point favorite. I tell you whether Kris and I agree.

Galen Clavio, Baldfather Bets, Curt Cignetti, Indiana Football, Clay Travis, LSU, and the Big Ten are the focus of this episode as I talk with Galen Clavio and Baldfather Bets about what makes Cignetti and Indiana so unique and where college football goes from here. Indiana is the defending national champion and sits at 8-1 and No. 4 in the first College Football Playoff rankings. We discuss what separates Cignetti’s program, the current state of the Big Ten and its future, and how the conference went from the BCS era, when the Big Ten was often mocked, to turning things around. We also talk about the future of college football, how we got here, and what the sport can do to change things. We break down the contenders for the rest of the year and pick one team outside that group that could make an insane run. We also revisit Clay Travis’ comments about LSU and Indiana over the next three years and how he views them now. I also ask where Indiana goes at quarterback next season and what happens if the Hoosiers lose a coordinator. Finally, we draft the ultimate 2026 football team, with a head coach, an offense, and a defense. I tell you whether we agree on the best team in college football.

Jake Butt, Michigan Football, Michigan State Football, Ohio State Football, Oregon Football, UCLA Football, Minnesota Football, Indiana Football, USC Football, and Nebraska Football are the focus of this episode as I talk with Jake Butt about the chaos in college football and look ahead to Week 10. We start with a wild Week 9, in which USC upset Ohio State 30-18, Indiana needed overtime to beat Minnesota 23-16, Oregon rallied past Northwestern 34-26, and Washington beat Nebraska 17-10. We discuss what this chaos means for the future of the sport and the College Football Playoff race. Next, we preview Michigan State vs Michigan, where Michigan is currently about a 13.5-point favorite on Saturday night after escaping Rutgers 28-21. We also preview Oregon vs Ohio State, including a concern watch for the Buckeyes after the loss to USC dropped them to No. 12 in the first College Football Playoff rankings, and UCLA vs Minnesota, with the undefeated Bruins at No. 8. I also ask Jake for an early preview of Indiana vs USC on Nov. 14, and what is wrong with Nebraska, which has lost three straight games after leading in the fourth quarter. I tell you whether Jake and I agree on how the season ends. College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

Candid Hoosier, Indiana Football, Curt Cignetti, Josh Hoover, Grant Wilson, Charlie Becker, Minnesota Football, and the Big Ten are the focus of this episode as I talk with Candid Hoosier about Indiana’s 23-16 overtime win over Minnesota and the problems the Hoosiers still need to fix. Indiana needed a 60-yard field goal from Paddy McAteer as time expired in regulation to force overtime. Wilson then hit Becker for a 25-yard touchdown on the first play of the extra period, and the defense made the final stop. The Hoosiers improved to 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the Big Ten, but it was their third fourth-quarter comeback in four games. I break down Indiana’s special teams woes, including two short punts from Billy Gowers, missed field goals from Nicolas Radicic, and a botched snap that prevented a fourth-quarter field goal attempt. We also dig into the quarterback situation, with Hoover going 8-of-19 before Wilson went 9-of-17 for 156 yards, and why the offense keeps struggling to finish drives. I also cover how Indiana measures up to the other top teams in college football, what Cignetti must fix during the bye week, and who should start against USC on Nov. 14. I tell you whether I agree with Candid Hoosier’s outlook on this team. College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

Candid Hoosier, Josh Hoover, Curt Cignetti, Indiana Football, Michigan Football, and Minnesota Football are the focus of this episode as Candid Hoosier and I react to and analyze Indiana’s 13-6 overtime win at Michigan, discuss Josh Hoover’s injury and the Hoosiers’ offensive issues, and give an early preview of Minnesota vs Indiana. No.6 Indiana improved to 7-1 and 4-1 in the Big Ten with its first win at the Big House since 1967, while Michigan fell to 4-3 and 1-3. Michigan reached the Indiana 3 in the final minute, but Tommy Carr was sacked a fourth time, and the Wolverines settled for a 26-yard field goal as time expired to force overtime. In overtime, Hoover hit Brock Schott for 21 yards on the first snap, then ran for a four-yard touchdown, and Carr’s final pass fell incomplete. Hoover went 8-of-18 for 81 yards, and a third-quarter interception set up a Michigan field goal. He was banged up and nearly benched, but Cignetti stayed with him over Grant Wilson, saying, “Even though he’s not 100%, we’ve got to finish it out with him.” We break down what Hoover’s health means for Indiana and why the offense looked so far from its best. I also cover where the Hoosiers can improve and give an early preview of Minnesota, which visits Bloomington on Oct. 31 after beating Iowa 13-10 on a last-second field goal. Candid and I are encouraged by the rushing offense's improvement and the defense peaking at the right time, totaling 28 sacks this season College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

Ohio State Football, Indiana Football, Nebraska Football, Oregon Football, Notre Dame Football, BYU Football, Alabama Football, and Tennessee Football are the focus of this live show as I preview Week 7 of college football, react to the Big Ten in Week 6, and reveal my new Top 25 and updated College Football Playoff bracket on the 18th College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season. The headline game is No. 4 Ohio State at No. 5 Indiana at noon ET on FOX, a rematch of Indiana’s 13-10 win in last year’s Big Ten Championship Game. Nebraska vs Oregon is also interesting for a variety of reasons. Nebraska blew a 17-6 fourth-quarter lead to Indiana, and Oregon is coming off a 17-15 loss to UCLA, so I also ask what is really wrong with Oregon and who is to blame. I also give full previews and predictions for Notre Dame vs BYU, Alabama vs Tennessee, Penn State vs Michigan, Wisconsin vs UCLA, and Florida vs Texas. Alabama is coming off its loss to Georgia, Penn State just lost to USC, and Texas is coming off a loss to Oklahoma. I also ask whether UCLA can pull off what Indiana did in 2024.

Georgia Football, Alabama Football, Indiana Football, Nebraska Football, Ohio State Football, Iowa Football, UCLA Football, and Oregon Football are the focus of this live show as I react to Week 6 of college football, break down the new Week 7 AP Top 25, and reveal my updated power rankings and College Football Playoff bracket. Georgia beat Alabama 20-17 in Tuscaloosa, outgaining the Crimson Tide 455-346 with Gunner Stockton going 18-of-22 for 249 yards. Indiana escaped Nebraska 20-17 and is 6-0 and No. 5 in the AP poll. Ohio State beat Maryland 45-16, Iowa blew out Washington 41-24 behind 208 rushing yards from Kamari Moulton, and USC beat Penn State 31-23. Georgia moves to No. 1, Texas drops only to No. 7 after losing to Oklahoma, Oregon falls out, and UCLA jumps to No. 12. I explain exactly where I think the poll got it wrong. I also ask whether Indiana and Nebraska are good, great, or struggling, what is really wrong with Oregon and who is to blame, and whether UCLA can pull off what Indiana did in 2024.

Kris Drew of Dead Air Sports joins me to react to college football's Week 4 slate, name the teams we think are real national contenders: Indiana, Georgia, Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, Notre Dame (and more?), and break down Ohio State's win over Illinois. We analyze Ohio State's 42-19 win, where Jeremiah Smith tied the school's single-game record with four touchdown catches on 12 receptions for 217 yards, and Julian Sayin threw for 367 yards, but Illinois still put up 462 total yards, the most Ohio State has allowed since October 2024. Kris and I break down whether that defensive lapse is a real concern heading into a brutal Big Ten stretch or just one-off day. Kris is particularly worried about how Ohio State's rushing offense and defense fit with recent trends of strong rushing offenses and defenses winning titles. We also go through the teams we consider genuine national contenders after four weeks, including Indiana's escape against Northwestern, Georgia's turnover-fueled win over Oklahoma, Iowa's stunning upset of Michigan, and Florida's blowout of Ole Miss. Kris and I don't always agree on who belongs in that group, and we get into it directly when we don't, including whether Ohio State's defensive numbers should knock the Buckeyes down a tier. In this episode, you get a full-week reaction, not just a highlight reel. We take a look at Oregon vs USC, Iowa vs Michigan, Ole Miss vs Florida, and other Week 4 games, then break down what was sustainable, what to watch for, and what adjustments we can make. College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

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.

Ohio State Football, Iowa Football, Indiana Football, Alabama Football, Mississippi State Football, Michigan Football, Penn State Football, Florida Football, and every major Week 4 storyline and major Week 5 previews are the focus of the 15th College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season. We break down the best and worst individual performances from Week 4, then react to the full Big Ten and SEC slates, including Iowa's stunning upset of Michigan and Georgia's blowout win over Oklahoma. We release our new Top 10 rankings and updated College Football Playoff bracket after a week that reshaped the national picture. We preview six massive Week 5 matchups. Ohio State travels to Iowa City for the first time since a 55-24 loss to the Hawkeyes in 2017, and Iowa is riding an upset win over Michigan. Penn State opens Northwestern's brand-new $875 million Ryan Field, coming off an upset loss of its own to Wisconsin. Alabama travels to Mississippi State in one of the biggest games in Starkville history. We also break down Michigan vs Minnesota, Indiana vs Rutgers, and Florida vs Missouri, a real letdown spot for the Gators after their upset of Ole Miss. We close things out with pretenders and contenders, sorting out which of this season's fast starts are actually built to last.

Galen Clavio of Indiana University joins me to react to a chaotic Week 4 across college football and dig deep into Indiana's 29-23 win over Northwestern. We close with Indiana's Big Ten opener, a game the Hoosiers were favored by 20.5 points and won by six. Lee Beebe Jr.'s 70-yard run set up Josh Hoover's game-sealing touchdown with under two minutes left, but Aidan Chiles kept Northwestern within a score for most of the second half. Clavio and I break down whether this was a genuine scare or a comfortable win that looked closer than it was, and what it means heading into tougher Big Ten competition. Our primary takeaways surround Josh Hoover's chemistry with his receivers and accuracy, the offensive line's consistency, Indiana's tackling up front, and a secondary that has surrendered some big plays. We also react to the rest of the weekend, including Iowa's stunning last-second upset of Michigan, Oregon's dominant, program-changing performance against USC, and a potential career-changing win for Luek Fickell. Clavio brings a national perspective on top of his usual Indiana coverage, and we get into where this week's results actually move the Playoff picture.
