College Football with Sam

About College Football with Sam

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

   Week 7 Previews | Ohio State vs Indiana COLLIDE | Nebraska vs Oregon | Notre Dame vs BYU | Top 25

   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.

   Kris Drew: Week 4 Reaction | National Contenders | Ohio State Football Analysis

   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.
