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.

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.

We react to Texas vs Tennessee, Oklahoma vs Georgia, Ole Miss vs Florida, Illinois vs Ohio State, Nebraska vs Michigan State, and take our final takeaways from Oregon vs USC and Northwestern vs Indiana.

Ohio State Football, Georgia Football, Indiana Football, Oregon Football, USC Football, Texas Football, Tennessee Football, and the AP Poll Top 25 are the focus of the 12th College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season. We start with our reaction to the new AP Poll following one of the most chaotic weeks of the young season. We break down the best and worst individual performances from around the country, then get into a full Big Ten reaction and a full SEC reaction covering every notable result from the weekend. We release my new Top 10 power rankings and my updated College Football Playoff bracket, both reshuffled heavily after a week that reshaped the national picture. We close out with six Week 4 previews. We break down Oregon at USC, a game already generating College GameDay buzz, Northwestern at Indiana in Friday night primetime, No. 1 Texas at No. 14 Tennessee in Knoxville, Oklahoma's first-ever trip to Athens to face No. 2 Georgia, Iowa at Michigan in a Big Ten trench battle, and Ole Miss at Florida coming off Ole Miss's emotional win over LSU.

Jake Butt of the Big Ten Network joins me to break down one of the most eventful Week 3 slates of the season, covering LSU vs Ole Miss, USC vs Rutgers, and how Michigan, Oregon, and Indiana all performed. We start with Ole Miss's wild 32-24 win over LSU, sending Lane Kiffin home a loser in his first return to Oxford, and break down what that result means for both programs heading into the rest of SEC play. We also cover USC's 42-35 win at Rutgers, a game that was far more competitive than the final score suggested, with Rutgers cutting the deficit to one score in the fourth quarter before USC pulled away late. Jake and I get into how the rest of the Big Ten looked this week, including Michigan's shaky start turning into a 38-point unanswered surge in a 52-17 win over UTEP, Oregon's response to last week's upset loss with a record-setting 84-0 blowout of Portland State, and Indiana's comfortable win over Western Kentucky. Jake and I don't always agree on these calls, and we get into it directly when we don't. College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

The Ohio State Football, Georgia Football, Indiana Football, USC Football, Notre Dame Football, LSU Football, and Ole Miss Football are the focus of the 11th College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season. We start with the biggest story of the week, Ole Miss's wild 32-24 comeback win over LSU, sending Lane Kiffin home a loser in his first return to Oxford as a visiting head coach. We also break down three dominant performances from Ohio State's 59-3 blowout of Kent State, Georgia's 45-17 win over Arkansas in its SEC opener, and Indiana's 38-0 shutout of Western Kentucky. We close things out with two results that were closer than expected. USC needed a fourth-quarter push to hold off Rutgers 42-35 after nearly blowing a big third-quarter lead, and we get into what a game this competitive against a winless Rutgers team actually means. We also cover Notre Dame's game against Michigan State, a matchup that stayed tight into the second quarter before the Irish pulled away for a 27-10 win. This is a full breakdown of the week that actually was, not just the games everyone expected to go a certain way, and we get into what each result actually means heading into the rest of the season.

Landon Tengwall, a former Penn State offensive lineman and college football's premier voice on line play, joins me to break down what went wrong (and right) up front in three of Week 2's biggest games: Ohio State vs Texas, Oklahoma vs Michigan, and Oregon vs Oklahoma State. Landon brings real film study and firsthand playing experience to a side of the game that usually gets overlooked in highlight-driven reactions. We go through Ohio State's collapse against Texas, Michigan's upset win over Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State's stunning takedown of Oregon, and break down exactly what happened along the offensive and defensive lines in each one, not just the skill position plays that end up on highlight reels. Landon identifies the specific technique breakdowns, blocking scheme issues, and defensive front adjustments that actually decided these games, and explains why line play, more than any other position group, tends to get the least credit and the least blame despite deciding outcomes more than people realize. This is a much different lens on these three results than you'll get anywhere else, and Landon's background as a former Big Ten offensive lineman gives him a level of technical detail I can't fully provide on my own. We discuss the issues offensive lines face in dealing with defensive adjustments over the past decade. College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

Galen Clavio of Indiana University, Ohio State Football, Texas Football, Oklahoma Football, Michigan Football, Oregon Football, and Indiana Football is the focus of this episode as Galen joins me to react to one of the wildest Saturdays of the young season. We break down Texas's comeback win over No. 1 Ohio State, Michigan's upset win over Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State's stunning upset of No. 6 Oregon, giving our honest reactions to all three results and what they mean heading into the rest of the season. Galen and I don't always agree on these calls, but we complement each other's analysis and spend most of the video discussing where Oregon and Dan Lanning need to go to improve and what went wrong for both Ohio State and Texas in their historic matchup. We also get into what we're calling real hypocrisy in the AP Poll's voting patterns after a weekend this chaotic, breaking down specific placements that don't square with how these same voters have handled similar results from other programs in the past. For example, if the AP Poll viewed Ohio State as the clear No. 1 team, why did it drop to 6th after nearly beating the new No. 1 in Texas? We close things out with an Indiana check-in, covering how Curt Cignetti's team has looked through two games and what we're watching for as the schedule gets tougher.

The College Football Playoff, Indiana Football, Michigan Football, Iowa Football, Oregon Football, Tennessee Football, Georgia Tech Football, and the AP Poll Top 25 are the focus of the 9th College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season. Ohio State Football, Texas Football, Michigan Football, Oklahoma Football, Oregon Football, Oklahoma State Football, Mississippi State Football, Minnesota Football, Iowa Football, and Iowa State Football are all covered in this live show. We react to one of the wildest Saturdays of the young season. Texas came back to beat No. 1 Ohio State 24-23 after Ohio State blew a big early lead, Michigan upset Oklahoma 17-10, and Oklahoma State pulled off a stunning 39-31 win over No. 6 Oregon as a 23.5-point underdog. We also break down Mississippi State's 38-13 rout of Minnesota behind Kamario Taylor's three-touchdown day, and Iowa's 16-13 win over Iowa State in the Cy-Hawk rivalry. With results like these, we debut my brand new Top 10, reshuffling the list after a week that reshaped the entire national picture. We also react to the new AP Poll Top 25, breaking down where I agree and disagree with the voters after a weekend full of chaos at the top of the sport. This is a full breakdown of the week that actually was, not just the games everyone expected to go a certain way, and we get into what each result actually means heading into the rest of the season. College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

The College Football Playoff, Indiana Football, Michigan Football, Iowa Football, Oregon Football, Tennessee Football, Georgia Tech Football, and the AP Poll Top 25 are the focus of the 8th College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season. We react to the new AP Poll Top 25, breaking down where I agree and disagree with the voters after a full week of actual results. We also release my updated College Football Playoff bracket based on what we've actually seen through Week 1. We preview four more Week 2 matchups: Howard vs Indiana, Iowa State vs Iowa in the Cy-Hawk rivalry under new Iowa State head coach Jimmy Rogers, Tennessee vs Georgia Tech after Georgia Tech's stunning Week 1 loss to Colorado, and a rewatch of Oregon vs Oklahoma State. We close out by addressing two real concerns after Week 1: is Michigan actually in trouble after a shaky, controversial escape against Western Michigan, and should we be worried about Oregon after a closer-than-expected win over Boise State?

Kris Drew of Dead Air Sports, Ohio State Football, and Texas Football are the focus of this episode as Kris joins me to preview one of the biggest non-conference games of the 2026 season and give our predictions for how it plays out. Ohio State and Texas have met only a handful of times, most memorably in 2006, when No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 2 Texas 24-7, and this rematch carries similar stakes for both programs after dominant Week 1 openers. Kris and I break down what Arthur Smith's offense should look like behind quarterback Julian Sayin and wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, and whether that translates against a tough Texas defense. We also get into Texas and quarterback Arch Manning facing off against Matt Patricia, whose defense held the Longhorns to 7 points last season, and the coaching matchup between Ryan Day and Steve Sarkisian. Kris and I don't always agree on these calls, and we get into it directly when we don't. We break down both rosters, identify the matchups we think will decide the game, and go through both coaching staffs heading into this one before giving our individual predictions for how it plays out. College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

Ohio State Football, Texas Football, Oklahoma Football, Michigan Football, and the Big Ten and SEC's Week 1 results are the focus of the 7th College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season. We start by grading my updated prediction record after Week 1, and go through the best and worst individual performances of the week. We react to the Big Ten's Week 1 slate, including Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, Michigan State, and Nebraska, and get into the SEC's biggest storylines, including Lane Kiffin's dominant LSU debut and Ole Miss's shootout win over Louisville. We also release our new Top 10 power rankings following a full week of actual results. We close out by previewing three of the biggest games of Week 2: Ohio State vs Texas, a rematch of programs that haven't met since a memorable 2006 showdown between top-two teams; Oklahoma vs Michigan at the Big House in the middle of Kyle Whittingham's first season.
