Podcast Overview

Discussing Football and the current, past, and future legacy of the greatest sport. I discuss different teams, conferences, and players all relating to college football. Schedule predictions, ranking teams, classifying players, discussing matchups, categorizing coaches, and occasionally even crystal balls are all a part of college football discussions on this channel. While I mainly stick with Big Ten Teams, you will sometimes hear me talk about teams around the nation too. My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX_10OirD74H5bfGISseEgA

The Worst College Football Take of 2025?... And What We Learned | College Football 2026

<p>2025 Big Ten predictions, Oregon Football, Illinois Football, and the lessons that can help us make better 2026 Big Ten predictions are all discussed in this breakdown of what I believe was the worst college football take of 2025.</p><p><br></p><p>In this video, I revisit a CBS Sports 2025 Big Ten Power Rankings segment from last summer, focusing on one prediction that stood out immediately: ranking Illinois ahead of Oregon.</p><p><br></p><p>I break down exactly why that prediction failed, where the evaluation process went wrong, and what it teaches us about projecting college football teams. Along the way, I explain how to identify the traits of a true breakout program and why programs like Indiana Football under Curt Cignetti can, rarely, rise into the sport&#39;s upper tier while others fall short.</p><p><br></p><p>Whether you&#39;re making Big Ten predictions, evaluating preseason rankings, or projecting College Football Playoff contenders, this video explores the principles that separate great predictions from bad ones.</p><p><br></p><p>College Football with Sam&#39;s goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.
