Fox Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reveals the 10 games that will shape the 2026 College Football Season. From huge early season Big Ten-SEC matchups between Michigan and Oklahoma and Ohio State at Texas to the return of Lane Kiffin to Oxford, he breaks down which games will have the biggest impact on the sport in 2026. Klatt explains why a cross-country trip could determine if USC is ready to make a Playoff push and why a rematch of the Big Ten Championship Game gives Indiana a huge opportunity to assert themselves over the Buckeyes. Miami's trip to South Bend offers the Fighting Irish a chance to avenge the loss that kept them out of last year's Playoff and “The Game” between Ohio State and Michigan will have a new coach looking to put his stamp on the rivalry.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the College Football 27 cover reveal with Curt Cignetti and Malachi Toney becoming the faces of Dynasty Mode energy in real life, from Indiana's shocking rise into a national football brand to Miami getting its personality back with a local star leading the comeback. JT also explains why Joel Klatt is wrong about Alabama and why the Crimson Tide decline narrative ignores what Kalen DeBoer has already proven, how Alabama is being judged against Nick Saban's ghost, and why Miami should win the ACC with Darian Mensah, Mario Cristobal's recruiting, and a roster that should be too talented for the rest of the conference. Plus, JT breaks down why Florida isn't a sleeper anymore under John Sumrall, why Eric Weddle's criticism of Bryce Underwood may be way too early, how Ohio State still sets the Big Ten standard despite Indiana, Oregon, USC, Michigan, Iowa, and Nebraska trying to close the gap, and why Kentucky could be entering a sleeping giant moment with Will Stein bringing new belief, offensive upside, and real investment to the Wildcats.
