  • 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.

  • T-Cal: Sleeper Teams | Indiana Analysis | Underrated Players & Top Contenders

    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.

    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: Northwestern vs Indiana & Week 4 Reaction

    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.

  • Jake Butt's Week 3 Reactions: Indiana No.1? Michigan & USC Struggle! Will Oregon Improve?

    Jake Butt of the Big Ten Network joins me to break down one of the most eventful Week 3 slates of the season, covering LSU vs Ole Miss, USC vs Rutgers, and how Michigan, Oregon, and Indiana all performed.


    We start with Ole Miss's wild 32-24 win over LSU, sending Lane Kiffin home a loser in his first return to Oxford, and break down what that result means for both programs heading into the rest of SEC play. We also cover USC's 42-35 win at Rutgers, a game that was far more competitive than the final score suggested, with Rutgers cutting the deficit to one score in the fourth quarter before USC pulled away late.


    Jake and I get into how the rest of the Big Ten looked this week, including Michigan's shaky start turning into a 38-point unanswered surge in a 52-17 win over UTEP, Oregon's response to last week's upset loss with a record-setting 84-0 blowout of Portland State, and Indiana's comfortable win over Western Kentucky. Jake and I don't always agree on these calls, and we get into it directly when we don't.

  • Week 3 Reaction | Ole Miss Stuns Kiffin | Ohio State, Georgia, & Indiana Roll | USC & ND Struggle

    The Ohio State Football, Georgia Football, Indiana Football, USC Football, Notre Dame Football, LSU Football, and Ole Miss Football are the focus of the 11th College Football with Sam live show of the 2026 season.


    We start with the biggest story of the week, Ole Miss's wild 32-24 comeback win over LSU, sending Lane Kiffin home a loser in his first return to Oxford as a visiting head coach. We also break down three dominant performances from Ohio State's 59-3 blowout of Kent State, Georgia's 45-17 win over Arkansas in its SEC opener, and Indiana's 38-0 shutout of Western Kentucky.


    We close things out with two results that were closer than expected. USC needed a fourth-quarter push to hold off Rutgers 42-35 after nearly blowing a big third-quarter lead, and we get into what a game this competitive against a winless Rutgers team actually means. We also cover Notre Dame's game against Michigan State, a matchup that stayed tight into the second quarter before the Irish pulled away for a 27-10 win.


    This is a full breakdown of the week that actually was, not just the games everyone expected to go a certain way, and we get into what each result actually means heading into the rest of the season.

  • Landon Tengwall Reacts to Ohio State vs Texas & CFB's Trench Problems

    Landon Tengwall, a former Penn State offensive lineman and college football's premier voice on line play, joins me to break down what went wrong (and right) up front in three of Week 2's biggest games: Ohio State vs Texas, Oklahoma vs Michigan, and Oregon vs Oklahoma State.


    Landon brings real film study and firsthand playing experience to a side of the game that usually gets overlooked in highlight-driven reactions. We go through Ohio State's collapse against Texas, Michigan's upset win over Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State's stunning takedown of Oregon, and break down exactly what happened along the offensive and defensive lines in each one, not just the skill position plays that end up on highlight reels.


    Landon identifies the specific technique breakdowns, blocking scheme issues, and defensive front adjustments that actually decided these games, and explains why line play, more than any other position group, tends to get the least credit and the least blame despite deciding outcomes more than people realize. This is a much different lens on these three results than you'll get anywhere else, and Landon's background as a former Big Ten offensive lineman gives him a level of technical detail I can't fully provide on my own. We discuss the issues offensive lines face in dealing with defensive adjustments over the past decade.

About College Football with Sam

From the publisher's feed

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.
