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 1 Reaction | Michigan Cheats WMU | Indiana & Ohio State Reload | Oregon Stumbles & LSU Wins Big

  Sep 6, 20261h 45m

  Indiana Football, Ohio State Football, Oregon Football, USC Football, Michigan Football, Clemson Football, LSU Football, and Nebraska Football are all covered in this Week 1 college football reaction show. We break down Indiana's 52-16 win over North Texas, Ohio State's 56-3 win over Ball State, Oregon's 34-27 win over Boise State, USC's 39-0 win over Fresno State, Michigan's 13-12 win over Western Michigan, LSU's 51-10 win over Clemson, and Nebraska's 49-21 win over Ohio. Oregon's win over Boise State was shakier than expected, with No. 2 Oregon trailing before pulling away late, and Michigan's escape against Western Michigan came on a controversial last-second Hail Mary from Bryce Underwood to JJ Buchanan, a finish the Big Ten had to release an official statement about. On the other end of the spectrum, USC's Jayden Maiava threw for 349 yards and three touchdowns in a 39-0 shutout, and Lane Kiffin's LSU debut was about as dominant a statement win as any coach could ask for. This is a full recap of the week that actually was, not just the games everyone already expected to go a certain way, and I break down what each result actually tells us heading into Week 2. College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

  College Football Staff Rankings, Ohio State Football, Indiana Football, Oregon Football, and the best coaches, quarterbacks, and bold predictions are the focus of the 3rd College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season. We count down my top 10 offensive and defensive play-callers in the country, then release my full Big Ten quarterback rankings, breaking down every starter from Ohio State's Julian Sayin and Oregon's Dante Moore to Indiana's Josh Hoover, who takes over after Fernando Mendoza's departure to the NFL Draft. Does Indiana or Ohio State actually have the better staff? Where does Michigan's new staff rank against the rest of the Big Ten? Is Georgia's staff still elite? I will answer these questions and more in this show! College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.

  Aug 19, 20263h 29m

  College Football Top 25 Rankings, Ohio State Football, Indiana Football, Oregon Football, and the best coaches, quarterbacks, and Big Ten players are the focus of the 2nd College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season. We release my final college football Top 25 power rankings, ranking every top program in the country in tiers, before counting down my top 10 college football head coaches and my top 10 quarterbacks entering the season. There are not many differences from my post-spring Top 25, but enough changes to make it worthwhile to revisit this list. We also unveil my preseason All-Big Ten offense and defense, going position by position through the players I think deserve first-team recognition heading into 2026. Indiana, Oregon, and Ohio State are heavily represented, but which players stand out from Michigan, USC, Iowa, etc.? We close it out with some bold predictions for the season, including whether three Big Ten teams can finish the season undefeated! Who's my No. 1 team in the country? Which coaching staff and quarterback come out on top? Which surprising names made my All-Big Ten teams? I will answer these questions and more in this show!
