The College Football Insiders share the latest insider intel from their trusted sources around college football each week on CBS Sports College Football.

The transfer portal keeps reshaping college football — and the latest moves are starting to define the next power structure.

We break down new intel on top portal quarterbacks, recap the biggest QB decisions so far, and explain why $1M running backs are becoming the new NIL reality. We also look at stock up and stock down programs, major departures, and what recent portal trends tell us about where the sport is heading.

Later, we dive into how Miami Hurricanes climbed back to the national stage, what the Ole Miss Rebels look like after their CFP run, and how the waiver process could shape key roster decisions moving forward. We close with what’s at stake in Indiana Hoosiers vs. Oregon Ducks, including program intel and storylines to monitor.

The crew breaks down the biggest developments across college football, starting with Michigan’s hire of Kyle Whittingham and how the process unfolded. We examine why Michigan landed on Whittingham, what his staff could look like, the long-term vision for the role, and how this impacts Bryce Underwood.

Next coaching cycle grades and evaluations.

We then turn to CFP insights, diving into Miami–Ohio State and Oregon–Texas Tech, followed by Alabama–Indiana and Ole Miss–Georgia. What’s at stake for each team, key storylines, injuries to monitor, and more.

The show wraps with a preview of the transfer portal window, highlighting players to watch and how programs are preparing behind the scenes as roster movement ramps up.

This week on the College Football Insiders, Richard Johnson, John Talty, Chris Hummer and Shehan Jeyarajah talk about the Playoff rankings, Penn State's new hire Matt Campbell, and more.

Get the latest buzz across college football as Marcello, Hummer, Zenitz and Shehan break down Penn State’s chaotic coaching search, major flips on Signing Day, and the newest moves in the coaching carousel — including Hartline to USF, Klein to Kansas State, and Will Stein to Kentucky. We hit the fallout from Lane Kiffin’s jump to LSU, updates on USC’s rise to the No. 1 recruiting class, big-time flips, the top names in the transfer portal, and what to expect heading into Conference Championship Weekend and Selection Sunday.
