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. Then I give my new Week 7 top 25 and my updated playoff bracket.

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.
