FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt provides his Way-Too-Early Top 10 for the upcoming 2026 season, ranking the teams he believes should go into next year as the favorites in the sport. Klatt considers where to rank the defending champion Indiana Hoosiers as they begin their question for a repeat title under Curt Cignetti. Will a Big Ten team be #1 as the conference seeks its 4th straight National Championship with teams like Ohio State, Oregon and even Michigan looking to reload for 2026? Will it be Texas or Georgia as the highest ranked SEC team as Arch Manning returning to Austin surrounded by new weapons from the Transfer Portal? Is Miami's resurgence here to stay - did they make the cut in Klatt's Top 10? 0:00-2:10 Intro2:11-3:59 Joel Klatt's way-too-early top 104:00-5:59 Texas Tech6:00-8:52 Michigan8:53-10:51 LSU10:52-14:29 Miami14:30-16:59 Texas17:00-18:55 Notre Dame18:56-21:11 Ohio State21:12-23:33 Indiana23:34-24:56 Georgia24:57-27:43 Oregon27:44-30:51 Almost top 10 teams Learn more about your ad choices.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") return to discuss what appears to be the end of USC's search for a defensive coordinator with former TCU head coach Gary Patterson being the only name we have been hearing for the past week. This is an extremely important hire for head coach Lincoln Riley and the guys talk about the latest they are hearing about the search, how likely it is that Patterson gets hired and when it could be announced. The guys also discuss the breaking news that secondary coach Doug Belk will not being a part of this defensive staff going forward. His name came up as a potential candidate during the search, but as it became more likely that Patterson was the direction USC was going it seemed less and less likely that Belk would be sticking around. They finish up talking about the closing of the NCAA Transfer Portal, Mike Ekeler officially joining the staff as special teams coordinator plus what Indiana winning the national championship means for college football, the Big Ten and USC. ⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Indiana fell to third-ranked Michigan 86-72, extending their losing streak to four games and dropping the Hoosiers to 12-7 overall and 3-5 in Big Ten play. After falling behind 22-5 early without injured point guard Tayton Conerway and watching Tucker DeVries pick up two quick fouls, the Hoosiers never found their offensive rhythm against Michigan's size and defensive intensity, though they did show some fight late to cut a 24-point deficit to the final 14-point margin.Coach Tonsoni breaks down the loss solo and looks ahead to Rutgers:Why this team simply cannot go through 8-10 minute stretches scoring only four points against quality competition, and how those droughts continue to define their lossesThe roster construction issues that are becoming more apparent with each loss, particularly the lack of athletic drivers and post presence to attack good defensesTucker DeVries finally seeing shots fall late in the game after struggling for 30 minutes, and whether that can spark him moving forwardSam Alexis showing aggression and efficiency with 11 points in 19 minutes before fouling out, providing a glimpse of what Indiana needs from that positionReed Bailey's improved attack mentality driving to the rim, even if the finishing remains inconsistentCoach Tonsoni's measured approach to staying positive about the program's direction while acknowledging the deep frustration with how they're playing right nowWhy Friday's game at Rutgers feels critical for trying to end this streak before the Purdue rivalry game at Assembly HallPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.

1 Hour and 16 Minutes With David Nasternak and Alex Drain This Podcast Has a Sponsor: Michigan Law Grad Jonathan Paul is the guy with the C you want skating next to the ref and pleading your case. He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games. Segment 1:  Strong opinions about the Minnesota broadcast mis-pronunciating names. Top NHL storylines - everyone in the East is in the hunt and the west has several teams that could get under 90 points and make the playoffs. Teams just aren't interested in tanking anymore. How is Minnesota this bad? Six minutes into game one the shots are 10-0, the Gophers can't even touch the puck. Michigan absolutely shuts down the Gophers in the 3rd period. It was as easy of a third period as you could get to protect a newer goalie. Minnesota should have enough solid players to be a decent team, are they as bad as Notre Dame if they don't have the level of goal-tending that they do?  Segment 2:  After Friday night the vibe going into Saturday was simply "alright, don't blow this!" Michigan gets an early goal and Minnesota doesn't get their first shot for a while. Michigan dominated early but just couldn't get past the goalie and it's only 1-0 before Minnesota came out intense in the 2nd period. Penalty kill is now a bigger issue for Michigan. Minnesota's goalie wanted the 2nd goal back but you can't blame Minnesota's problems on the goalie. Alex thinks college hockey shouldn't have OT. You shouldn't feel mad that your team won. Around the league - Mercyhurst had a sweep! They have three (3!) total wins on the season. It's a big weekend for bye weeks. Michigan State is the best team to challenge Michigan in the Big Ten. Michigan feels like a much better team than Ohio State, they should just sit on them in a couple weeks.      MUSIC NHL on ESPN Theme "Buffalo Song" -- Chris Fayz Ice Hockey (NES) theme

Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey join each other in Miami and discuss how the Hoosiers came away with the win. Then the guys discuss some conversation off the field that involved a coaching great. On Game Day, Monday night, Nick Saban made the claim that NIL is the only reason the Big Ten has been successful recently. The crew reacts to Saban's comments. They also look at how Curt Cignetti turned this Indiana program into a national champion in just two seasons. Is Indiana the new blueprint for success? How should some of the other coaches around college football feel that Coach Cignetti was able to turn the program around so quickly?Lastly, Andy, Ross and Godfrey talk about the latest drama with the transfer portal. It appears Miami is trying to lure Darian Mensah away from Duke. The problem is that Mensah has a very large NIL deal to be Duke's quarterback that they do not appear willing to let him out of. The guys explain the whole situation and discuss how they think it might turn out. Get caught up on College Football with College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Indiana Hoosiers with the National Championship22:41 - Nick Saban takes a shot at the Big Ten25:23 - Cignetti's Indiana turnaround44:13 - Will Darian Mensah be Miami's next QB?

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott reflect on the chaos and anticipation surrounding a third Seahawks–Rams matchup, debating momentum, matchup fatigue, and why this NFC Championship feels destined to be a coin flip despite Seattle's recent dominance. But the segment segues into a January 19th birthday remembrances, including Jean Stapleton, Junior Seau, Walter Jones, and a celebration of Dolly Parton. Mitch and Hotshot Scott relive all three previous NFC Championship Games at Lumen Field, from the 2006 breakthrough to the Miracle in 2014, while setting the stage for a fourth rubber match between the Seahawks and Rams. The discussion centers on the emotional weight of the 12th Man flag tradition following Paul Allen's legacy and the uncertainty around whether Pete Carroll, Jody Allen, or another iconic Seahawk should raise it. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' 41–6 demolition of the 49ers wasn't a surprise, pointing to a confident, physical offensive line and a run game that has fully found its identity. He breaks down Kenneth Walker's late-season burst, the unselfish blocking culture among receivers, and how Sam Darnold's oblique injury hasn't altered Seattle's winning formula. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens break down why the Seahawks enter the NFC Championship Game in a stronger position than either previous matchup with the Rams, pointing to rest, home-field advantage, and a run game that has fully come alive. They discuss Sam Darnold's oblique injury, the status of key injuries up front, Kenneth Walker's late-season surge, and how Seattle might better contain Puka Nacua this time around. Mitch and Puck break down the emotional roller coaster of the Rams–Bears game and why the Rams, not Chicago, have always been the Seahawks' true postseason threat. They debate quarterback advantages, Sean McVay's mastery of the Seahawks defense, and whether Seattle's dominant run game and home-field edge can neutralize Matthew Stafford. The conversation also veers into NFC Championship superstitions, the 12th Man flag dilemma, and whether it's too soon for Pete Carroll to make a symbolic return.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former NFL offensive lineman and Seahawks analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Jason Puckett | (Pucksports) Seattle Sports Radio Host/Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Momentum, Memories, and Milestones — Seahawks–Rams III and a Walk Through January 19th History 18:58 | Three NFC Title Games, One Unanswered Question: Who Raises the 12th Man Flag This Time? 35:16 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; Ray Roberts Saw the Blowout Coming — Why the Seahawks Are Peaking at Exactly the Right Time 1:04:35 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks–Rams Rubber Match Looms — Why Seattle Is Built for This Moment 1:27:02 | GUEST: Jason Puckett; Why the Rams Are the Seahawks' Real Problem — and Why This NFC Title Game Feels Inevitable 1:47:33 | Other Stuff Segment: Lil Jon halftime performance at Lumen Field, Seahawks home atmosphere and crowd energy, Little John diner in Bellevue/Issaquah, 2026 Seahawks outlook and salary cap space, Seahawks pending free agents (Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed, Riq Woolen, Coby Bryant), Denver Broncos quarterback injury and Jarrett Stidham starting AFC Championship, college football playoff expansion debate (12 vs 16 vs 24 teams), Big Ten vs SEC power struggle, Mike Tomlin stepping down as Steelers head coach, Kyle Tucker signing with Dodgers, Dodgers vs Marlins payroll disparity, Mariners spending frustration, Arizona high school basketball player Adrian Stubbs scoring 100 points, KISS internal feud over "Beth" songwriting credit.

Transfer Portal - Offense Starts at :51 The portal is closed! The only windows remaining are for a coaching change and for Indiana/Miami after the national championship game. Transfers, NIL, and contracts have been weird this cycle. Will Diego Pavia be in college until he's 45?? Thank you Davis Warren for beating Ohio State in the Funniest Game Ever. Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi is your backup QB out of Colorado State where he threw for over 7,000 yards. That's a "we don't practice f*cked" pick-up. Jadyn Davis's recruiting profile was a huge miss. Georgia Tech is a cool place for Justice Haynes, we're still not sure if Kuzdzal is returning. Taylor Tatum comes in from Oklahoma after a case of fumble-itus and several other ailments. Now he might actually have a good running backs coach. They retained Andrew Marsh - massive. The wide receiver room looks great, the only thing missing is a dedicated slot receiver but Michigan hasn't really utilized the role in a while anyways. Marlin Klein declared for the NFL draft but is he going to get drafted? The remaining tight ends and fullbacks should be good and viable options, they didn't get anyone out of the portal. JJ Buchanon doesn't count since he's being listed as a wide receiver. The offensive line is mostly retained which has star power potential. Overall the offensive line held serve besides losing Haywood, overall an A-grade. Would you give the offensive portal recruiting/retention an A all across the board? Could this become a... top ten offense?  2. Transfer Portal - Defense Starts at 41:41 Defensively is more of a mixed bag. Defensive end lost a lot of guys to graduation but only Devon Baxter to the portal. John Henry Daley is questionable based on his health, but if he's healthy you get Derrick Moore (but who actually plays more). Defensive tackle doesn't lose anyone noteworthy to the portal. You get back Trey Pierce and Enow Etta. Jonah Leaea was like a young Mo Hurst, he needs another 20 pounds. Defensive tackle has depth, just not star power, this wasn't a spectacular portal season for them either. This gets a solid B. Linebacker is the trouble spot. They lose Ernest Hausmann to eligibility/spirit quest, Cole Sullivan to Oklahoma, and Jimmy Rolder to the draft. The guys they bring in are uhhhhhh. Aisea Moa knows Jay Hill's system so he could possibly play but doesn't seem like he'll be all-Big Ten. This is a D, it's close to an F. At cornerback, you get Jyaire Hill, Zeke Berry, and Snowden. Jayden Sanders to Notre Dame stings. Let's.... talk about the allegations of sabotage and blackmail? Cornerbacks situation gets a... C+. Safety loses Brandyn Hillam and Elijah Dotson. Is Bryce Underwood the only guy to come from Belleville and last for over a year? Is Rod Moore going to play? Who knows. Chris Bracy comes in from Memphis, who comes in with a historic tale of a fabled fumble. Safety starters could be Bracy and Rod Moore, Mason Curtis to linebacker. You have six safeties? How many are going to play in a Cover-1? Defense overall gets a C, they probably didn't get better or worse. How much of the Wink disdain will have been warranted? If Daley doesn't get healthy who is going to be the star on this defense? Maybe they'll be like the offense last year - lots of potential but not quite there yet.  3. Hot Takes and Basketball vs Washington and Oregon Starts at 1:23:58 Takes hotter than Utah's athletic director on Twitter. Michigan basketball sweeps their west coast tour, they don't dominate but give a solid beating in both games to not-great teams. Michigan and Oregon were close to identical at the rim. You're starting to see the cracks in the armor of this team. Sean Stewart is an elite flopper. What did Dusty possibly say to warrant a technical? Elliot Cadeau was pretty efficient but gets too close to the face of guys on the perimeter and then gets beaten. He tries things that are just a little too ambitious too often, these things usually don't work. Indiana doesn't match up with Michigan at all, Trey Burke to get honored at the Ohio State game. It's about to get real for Nebraska.  4. Hockey vs Minnesota Starts at 1:54:54 Michigan gets an almost-sweep of Minnesota getting 5 of 6 points. It's hard to believe this is what Minnesota's hockey team looks like, they've fallen a long way. Minnesota didn't go into the portal or the CHL and just doesn't have the same talent as they used to. Even the announcers were saying "oh, don't do that!" Seven saves in one minute is pretty incredible. Michigan State is still the one team that can match up with Michigan. Michigan is probably in the best spot since the 2022 team when they were number 1. Is there anything Warde Manuel has done that makes you think Michigan hockey will be on a local television station? Four Big Ten teams are in the top 10 of NPI.  MUSIC: "Secret Loving"— Dry Cleaning "Dancing In The Club"— This Is Lorelei & MJ Lederman "Random Rules"— Silver Jew “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Imagine leaving Earth for two years… and coming back to find Indiana football sitting on top of the college football world.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges takes listeners through one of the most astonishing transformations the sport has ever seen: the Indiana Hoosiers playing for a national championship. A program long defined by losses, obscurity, and broken coaching careers is now on the brink of an undefeated season — something no team in college football history has ever achieved at this scale.Norm breaks down how head coach Kurt Signetti engineered the turnaround, from importing winning culture and key players from James Madison to convincing quarterback Fernando Mendoza to transfer — a move that resulted in a Heisman Trophy winner and a projected No. 1 NFL draft pick. The episode dives deep into the numbers behind Indiana's dominance, including defensive performances that have held every opponent under 24 points and statistical margins usually reserved for dynasties.Norm also offers context for just how absurd this rise is, comparing Indiana's long history of losses to its sudden place among college football's elite. Along the way, Mary Hitzges joins with sponsor messages and reflections, grounding the episode in the familiar rhythm of Just Wondering while the story itself remains anything but familiar.This isn't hype. It's perspective — and a reminder that sometimes sports still manage to surprise us.Chapters00:00:00 – Just wondering about Indiana playing for a national title00:01:22 – Has college football ever seen anything like this?00:02:09 – Indiana's history as a program where careers went to die00:03:10 – Kurt Signetti arrives and brings a winning blueprint00:04:04 – From 713 losses to Big Ten dominance00:05:10 – The numbers that make this season unbelievable00:06:31 – No opponent scores more than 24 points00:07:17 – The astronaut analogy: disbelief in real time00:08:04 – Miami's puncher's chance and final test00:09:01 – Bob's Steak & Chop House sponsor break00:09:38 – Full Moon Healing Balm and personal fixes00:10:16 – Fluent Financial and closing reflections00:10:38 – Why this story may never be repeated   Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

Indiana fell to Iowa 78-61 at home, dropping the Hoosiers to 12-6 overall and 3-4 in Big Ten play in a third consecutive loss that has this season teetering on the ... yeah, you know what work is coming ... brink.After Iowa controlled the game from the opening tip and imposed their will on the Hoosiers, Indiana briefly cut the deficit to five in the second half before the bottom fell out once again, continuing a disturbing pattern of collapses that has defined their most disappointing losses this season.Jerod, Eddie, Bob, Mike, and Ryan break down the loss and assess where this program stands:Why this team simply isn't talented enough to play poorly and still compete, and how fatigue—admitted publicly by Darian DeVries—is starting to catch up with a rotation stretched too thinThe losing that's starting to creep into this team's psyche after three straight deflating defeats, and whether there's still enough will to fight through the brutal stretch aheadHow Iowa's Bennett Sturts and Payton Sandfort combined to nearly outscore Indiana by themselves, exposing the gap between teams with multiple attackers and Indiana's limited offensive optionsBob and Mike's eye-witness account from Assembly Hall, including the frustration on the bench and the vibes from a crowd that watched another winnable home game slip awayTayton Conway's ankle injury that removed the one player who could consistently penetrate Iowa's defense, and what it means when this team loses its only reliable driverThe roster construction issues that one host compares to having elite wide receivers but no offensive line or quarterback to get them the ballWhether Indiana is now in tournament danger zone after dropping two home games they should have won, and what the math looks like with Michigan and Purdue loomingThis episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Charles Davis joins "Coach" to preview the National Championship game between the University of Miami and Indiana University. Davis emphasizes that Indiana is on the verge of a historic 16-0 season, a feat rarely seen in college football history. He argues that while the team lacks the traditional "blue blood" branding of programs like Ohio State or USC, their disciplined execution under head coach Curt Cignetti has turned them into a legitimate juggernaut that deserves the highest level of respect. The conversation also delves into the tactical matchup, focusing on Miami’s physical presence in the trenches and Indiana’s remarkable ability to adapt to different styles of play. Davis highlights Indiana's recent dominance, including blowout wins over Alabama and Oregon, while noting that Miami thrives as a resilient underdog despite a season filled with controversy. The segment concludes with the announcement that Davis will transition from the NFL to calling Big Ten games next season, positioning him to keep a close eye on Indiana's rising program.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thing Discussed: Portal: You can't make an OL in the portal—keeping Guarnera and Sprague was huge. Wide receiver room is night and day from before. They put a secondary back together. Concern over LB and don't have an impact DT. Seth: After all that everyone is back where they were. Lucky for Michigan that everyone's a free agent but this is a terrible way to run the sport. Why does everybody forget Chase Taylor? You're going to learn his name this year. DT: Sam says PalePale was getting talked up during bowl prep. Put Crippen down a few times. Question is conditioning. Hoops vs Wisconsin: What happened? They got five-outed, pulled Mara out of the paint which was a key to how they were playing two-point defense, which is mostly drop. Played a lot more hedge vs Washington. Discussion on 3-point randomness. NBA studies prove the efficacy of closeouts. It's not totally random; what really matters is preventing open shots. No correlation between first half and back half three-point defense. Seth: Washington can't get to the rim and Wisconsin has guys who can take advantage of that. These European shootin' bigs are going to be a problem. Michigan is like Florida last year: they're big and they play fast. Slow them down and pull them outside and win a luck game. Response is to hedge more. Brian: We sometimes see Michigan playing live ball tactics that don't make sense against the team they're playing; the hedging was practicing for Illinois and Nebraska. Rebounding (especially vs PSU): Needs work. Big Ten doesn't officiate shoves in the back or the Wisconsin step-under, so you have to really focus on practicing rebounding in this league to be any good at it, and it's not the focus of this team. Hockey: Was it a cheap shot? If Notre Dame wasn't a goon squad we'd say no, but they've seen this guy run a goalie and Notre Dame is notorious for causing injuries—they knocked out M's best defender earlier in the year. Same referee was there for McGroarty's injury, Hallum's injury, and no calls on either of those either. Big Ten does not care about hockey, the officiating is atrocious. They don't know the game, and they're getting players hurt because of it. Can't self-regulate because there's no fighting so you need officials to do it, and they don't care.

The culmination of the college football season is here! The College Football Playoff National Championship. Top-seeded Indiana will take on tenth-seeded Miami at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Monday. Will playing a home game give the Hurricanes a boost? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey look at the matchup. They discuss what Miami needs to do to pull the upset. Plus, they look at the changing landscape of college football and how a team that was 3-9 in 2023 is now playing for a national championship.Then, they dive deeper into Indiana's turnaround by looking at what Indiana is doing in the NIL space. More specifically, who is helping out with Indiana's NIL. Mark Cuban became the talk of college football after news broke that the Indiana alum is now helping fund the Hoosiers' NIL efforts. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss why people are making such a big deal about this and whether or not teams need to have a significant benefactor, or benefactors, to be relevant in the NIL landscape. Plus, they also look at all of the teams in college football and guess who has the best chance to have a program turnaround similar to Indiana. The guys also discuss a national championship first. This is the first national championship that will feature two teams sponsored by Adidas. They chat about what this means and the difference between Nike and Adidas' efforts in college athletics.Later, the CFP conversation continues, but this time it's a look at the future. The guys talk about the latest news of an expanded College Football Playoff. While many conferences support a 16-team model, the Big Ten is holding strong with their 24-team model concept. Will they be open to a 16-team playoff? What kind of changes are coming down the line?Get ready for the National Championship with College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - National Championship preview25:16 - Mark Cuban funding Indiana's NIL37:36 - Who could be the next Indiana?46:41 - Nike vs. Adidas in college athletics51:23 - College Football Playoff's potential expansion Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:
