College Football Playoff expansion is always a hot topic - but for the time being it looks to be tabled.

What do we think about the current state of College Football and whether the problems are correctable? The Mood Tracker segment continues tonight with a look at Josh Heupel and Tennessee.

The Big Ten has officially unveiled Oregon's 2026 football schedule, and it's everything we expected it to be: loaded, unforgiving, and packed with national significance. On this episode of the Autzen Audibles Podcast, we dive deep into what could be the most challenging and defining schedule of the Dan Lanning era. From massive road tests to marquee home showdowns, Oregon's path to a Big Ten title and College Football Playoff berth will require navigating a true gauntlet. We break down the biggest games on the slate, identify where Oregon may have advantages, and discuss which matchups could ultimately shape the Ducks' postseason fate. How does the travel factor in? Which opponents present matchup nightmares? And what does success really look like against a schedule this demanding? If Oregon is serious about competing for a national championship, this is the type of schedule that will prove it.

What a crappy football weekend, and somehow, it got even dumber. We kick things off with a broken chat, questionable beverage choices, and a very serious Sip, Chug, Drainpour debate featuring Mountain Dew Code Red, Baja Blast, and the OG. Then things spiral fast. Mike Vrabel is officially one win away from having to honor the most reckless podcast promise of all time, which leads us to an honest discussion about which teams we'd be willing to chop it off for. From there, we break down Sam Darnold making history in multiple ridiculous ways: the first USC QB to start a Super Bowl, the first QB from the 2018 draft class to get there, and yes, the first ginga QB to do it. We also uncover possibly the greatest NFL fun fact ever involving Darnold's grandpa, Dick Hammer. We recap an incredibly annoying AFC and NFC Championship weekend, talk Robert Kraft's chance to one-up Belichick, and explain why Bill Belichick should not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Then we officially declare the Pro Bowl dead, with Shadeur Sanders as the final nail in the coffin. Plus: • Team USA Skeleton drama at the Olympics • Sip, Chug, Drainpour on recent NFL coaching hires • The College Football Playoff staying at 12 teams with carve-outs for the P4 and Notre Dame • NCAA uniform patches and who's absolutely selling their soul first • MLB The Show pulling a dumb fake-out before giving Aaron Judge the cover • A Clippers fan forced to eat his own tweet • The completely unhinged Charles Bediako Alabama / G League situation • And a bettor sentenced to a full month of Wendy's chili after doubting Scottie Scheffler This was, in fact, a show.

The Oregon Ducks emerge as top College Football Playoff contenders after locking in quarterback Dante Moore and adding dynamic defensive playmaker Koi Perich. Can this star-studded roster—with Teitum Tuioti anchoring the defense and transfer portal standouts—fuel Oregon's run toward a national title in 2026? Brian Smith examines Moore's leadership development, Oregon's explosiveness at wide receiver, and the impact of key transfers like Dylan Raiola and Iverson Hooks. Insights reveal defensive dominance fueled by Tuioti, Bear Alexander, and Perich—who could be Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. Depth questions on the offensive line and defensive front spark debate: Is Oregon's mix of retention and portal moves the secret to sustained podium finishes? Don't miss this comprehensive breakdown of Oregon's evolving strategy, roster strengths, and hurdles as they chase postseason glory.

The guys zoom out to examine the Big Ten's rise to national dominance, including Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers' unexpected national championship run, and how that success reshapes the road ahead for Ohio State's College Football Playoff aspirations.

BONUS FLASHBACK EPISODELast year a largely unknown QB from Cal-Berkeley showed up in Bloomington to lead Indiana's offense in Year 2 of the Cignetti Era. One year later, that same QB is a household name across America... Fernando Mendoza.Shortly after arriving at IU, Fernando was kind enough to join the Hysterics for an in-depth conversation, touching on everything from his family and childhood, to his love of Star Wars, to why he chose to join his brother Alberto in playing for Coach Cig.It was impossible to predict at the time of this interview that Fernando would go on to win the Heisman Trophy as he and his teammates went undefeated, winning both the Big Ten and National Championships, and forever securing their place not just in the hearts of Hoosier nation, but amongst the greatest stories in the history of sports. After this conversation, however, it was very easy to understand that Fernando is an absolutely special human being... warm, funny, intelligent and inspiring... and someone we'd all be very proud to have represent Indiana University.If you prefer to watch this flashback episode, please visit @hoosierhysterics on Youtube.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

visit: https://www.ysguys.comThe January 26 edition of Y's Guys sets the stage for one of the biggest nights in BYU basketball history, airing just over an hour before No. 13 BYU hosts No. 1 Arizona at the Marriott Center. With Blaine Fowler on BYUtv pregame duty, Dave McCann is joined by Brian Logan for a news-packed show covering football, basketball, and nearly every BYU sport on campus. The hosts open with the 2026 BYU football schedule, game-by-game win projections, and a discussion of BYU finishing No. 11 in the final AP Top 25, its highest season-ending ranking since 2020.Dave and Brian dive deep into what finishing No. 11 could mean for BYU's 2026 preseason ranking, noting that many of the Cougars' greatest seasons began unranked. Early preseason projections already have BYU hovering between No. 8 and No. 13, fueling optimism that the Cougars could start the year nationally ranked for the first time in over a decade. The conversation also touches on major national storylines, including the College Football Playoff remaining at 12 teams, the Big 12 Championship moving to a prime-time Friday night slot, and the NCAA allowing commercial jersey patches starting August 1.Basketball dominates the middle of the show as BYU enters the night 17–2, fresh off a dominant rivalry win over Utah in which AJ Dybantsa scored a historic 43 points, breaking Danny Ainge's freshman scoring record and tying Jimmer Fredette for the most points ever scored at the Marriott Center. The hosts preview the Arizona matchup, break down the freshman phenom showdown between Dybantsa and Koa Peat, and reflect on BYU's rare history against No. 1 teams. Dybantsa's monster week earns him Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week, his fourth such honor, as Dave declares, “We are watching someone special.”The show closes with extensive Campus Notes across BYU athletics, including men's and women's basketball, volleyball, track and field, golf, gymnastics, softball, and baseball. A featured interview with Travis Kimball, co-founder of Quick Quack Car Wash, welcomes a new Y's Guys sponsor, while historic “On This Day” moments, birthdays, and a Kobe Bryant quote provide a fitting lead-in to tipoff. With momentum building across multiple sports and a sold-out Marriott Center buzzing, the January 26 episode captures BYU athletics at a peak moment. Hosted on Acast.

What happens when college sports operate without anyone truly in charge?Exactly what you're seeing now.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges takes on two developments that point to a looming breakdown in college athletics — and neither one has a clean solution.Norm begins with a court ruling involving former Alabama basketball player Charles Bediako, who declared for the NBA Draft, went undrafted, played professionally, and is now seeking to return to college basketball. A judge has temporarily ruled that the NCAA cannot stop him. Norm explains why this isn't just about one player — it's about the precedent. If this door stays open, what stops waves of undrafted football and basketball players from attempting pro careers, failing, and then pouring back into college sports with eligibility intact?From there, Norm pivots to college football's playoff mess. Despite widespread agreement that a 16-team playoff would have fixed most of this year's problems, the SEC and Big Ten failed — again — to reach consensus. Instead, financial motivations, conference power plays, and a proposed 24-team playoff loaded with byes killed progress. The result: a flawed 12-team system that left deserving programs out while frustrating fans who just want fairness and clarity.Throughout the episode, Norm returns to one central theme: the NCAA is powerless, university presidents won't act, and conferences are chasing money at the expense of the sport itself. When no one's willing to lead, chaos isn't a surprise — it's the outcome.Chapters00:00:00 – Just wondering about chaos coming to college sports00:01:38 – The Charles Bediako case and a dangerous precedent00:02:23 – Declaring for the NBA too early — and wanting back in00:03:12 – A judge says the NCAA can't stop it00:04:00 – What happens if this ruling holds00:05:00 – Undrafted players returning to college football00:05:58 – “We are talking chaos here”00:06:57 – The NCAA as a toothless tiger00:07:48 – Sponsor break: Bob's Steak & Chop House00:08:25 – Full Moon Healing Balm and aging realities00:09:10 – Why this year's College Football Playoff failed00:10:11 – Why a 16-team playoff made sense00:11:20 – The Big Ten's 24-team proposal and money motives00:12:20 – Why 24 teams is “way too clumsy”00:13:16 – Deadlines missed and progress stalled00:14:03 – Remembering the four-team playoff disaster00:14:52 – Power brokers vs. fans and the sport itself00:15:16 – Sponsors and closing thoughts00:16:08 – Final sign-offCheck us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW
