Fox Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the first games of the college football season as Week Zero officially kicked off the year. He begins by reacting to #14 USC's 16-point win over San Jose State and dives into whether Trojan fans should be excited or concerned with what they saw from the Trojans – and also gives his thoughts on the low fan attendance at the Coliseum for the opener. Klatt also discusses Bill Belichick's North Carolina team pulling off the upset of TCU and whether we may have jumped to a conclusion on the Belichick era in Chapel Hill too early. Klatt shouts out Virginia for their blowout win and evaluates their potential to be this year's Indiana in the ACC. Klatt also reacts to Memphis' upset win over UNLV and it's ramifications on the Group of 6 Playoff chase. He discusses Florida State's lackluster win and explains why FSU is not the power they once were and how things could be about to go off the rails in Tallahassee.Klatt wraps the show up by breaking down the latest eligibility issue in the sport as NFL players try to come back for one more year of college football, explaining how we got into this mess and where he stands on it – while pointing out a particular group that nobody's talking about that is being negatively impacted as a result.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and Shotgun Spratling are back in studio talking about the Trojans opening the 2026 college football season with a 42-26 victory over San Jose State. USC got off to a fast start, taking a 28-0 lead into halftime and extending that to 35-3 after three quarters. But when Lincoln Riley gave the starters a rest, the reserves weren't able to finish strong, allowing the Spartans to outscore the Trojans 23-7 in the final frame.The crew gives their thoughts on everything they have seen in SC's week zero opener, from the efficient performance from Jayden Maiava, the breakout game by freshman receiver Trent Mosley, the success by the defensive front seven, issues in the secondary and solid play by the special teams. They also discuss the fans staying away from the noon kickoff in a heatwave, how this opener had an NFL preseason game feel and how that led to so many freshmen and newcomers playing significant roles on Saturday.This is the podcast version (audio only) of our Tunnel Vision episode.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!Make sure you check out USCFootball.com for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

On this epsiode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down whether North Carolina improved enough under Bill Belichick to make real progress after beating TCU and why a stronger defense, Bobby Petrino's offense, and Billy Edwards could make seven wins realistic for UNC. JT also explains why Florida State's 34-17 win over New Mexico State did little to ease the pressure on Mike Norvell, especially with SMU, Alabama, Louisville, and Miami looming. What does Lincoln Riley need to do to make USC the attraction again instead of relying on opponents like Oregon and Ohio State to fill the Coliseum? Plus, Marcus Stokes' journey from four-star Florida commit to Division II standout and now Memphis quarterback has JT wondering if College Football has found its next Trinidad Chambliss-type breakout story.

Hour 1: Th Monday morning madness is in full swing on this episode of the Sports Leader podcast, where Murph and MarKus dive into the latest news and updates from the world of sports. From the NFL to college football, and from the Giants to the 49ers, this episode has it all. The guys kick off the show discussing the return of Aaron Donald to the Rams, and how it's going to impact the 49ers' chances in the NFC West. But it's not all about football - the guys also discuss the latest news from the Giants, including the controversy surrounding manager Tony Vitello and umpire Alan Porter. The conversation takes a turn when the guys discuss the lackluster attendance at the USC football game over the weekend, with some calling it a "disgrace" for the program. They also touch on the story of Dajon Love, a 35-year-old man who was catfishing women across the country by pretending to be a 49ers player. The guys also share some laughs and jokes, including a hilarious impression of Spice Adams.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Galen Clavio brings in Brooks White and Andrew Garrison from Hoosier Network for a student-media preview of the 2026 Indiana football season, with the Hoosiers just days away from opening against North Texas.The episode starts with the final week of preseason buildup: Back Home Network's ongoing positional previews, upcoming appearances from Rhett Lewis and Grace Ybarra, the C3 Bloomington Tailgate Bash at Renwick Village Center, and the sense that Bloomington is fully shifting into football mode.Once Brooks and Andrew join, the focus turns to what they have seen from Indiana through Big Ten Media Days, fall camp, and player availability. Andrew describes the program as almost “robotic,” but in the most complimentary way possible: consistent, disciplined, and so process-driven that there has not been much drama to react to. A major theme is the difference between last year's surprise and this year's expectation. Nobody went into 2025 assuming Indiana was about to go 16-0, win the Big Ten, and claim a national title. Now, the Hoosiers are trying to defend that level while integrating new stars, new transfers, and new pressure. Galen, Brooks, and Andrew talk about whether this team still has the same edge and whether the program's culture under Curt Cignetti can keep everything pointed in the right direction.The player discussion starts with possible breakout names. Davion Chandler comes up as a receiver who may not be top-of-mind behind Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh, and Tyler Morris, but who has speed and explosiveness that could give Indiana another useful weapon. The group also spends time on the running backs, where Turbo Richard, Khobie Martin, and Lee Beebe Jr. give IU a deep and intriguing room behind what should be one of the better offensive lines in the Big Ten.The longest football segment centers on Josh Hoover. Brooks pushes back hard against the idea that Hoover was the reason TCU struggled, arguing that the context around him matters: offensive line issues, defensive problems, a heavy burden in the passing game, and a very different situation from the one he inherits in Bloomington. Galen adds that TCU's Week Zero offensive struggles only made the old Hoover criticism look shakier. The defensive discussion focuses on the secondary. With D'Angelo Ponds gone, Indiana needs answers from players like A.J. Harris, Jamari Sharpe, and Ryland Gandy. Brooks sees cornerback as the defensive position group to watch early, especially because the biggest tests may not arrive until later against teams like Ohio State, USC, and Washington. Galen also points out that Bryant Haines' pass rush, pressure looks, and disguised coverages were a huge part of what made Indiana's defense work last year — and could help the secondary grow into the season.The back half of the episode is about student energy. Andrew talks about campus feeling anticipatory, with students discussing which games they were able to get tickets for and how quickly football became part of the conversation during welcome week. Brooks reflects on arriving at IU before the rise and wishing the school simply had a good football team — only to watch the program become a national champion and turn Memorial Stadium into a real home-field environment.The episode closes with predictions. Andrew goes all the way to 16-0 and another national championship, leaning into the idea that Indiana is still operating as a team of destiny until proven otherwise. Brooks predicts a 12-0 regular season, a College Football Playoff run, and believes Indiana is at least good enough to reach the semifinals. The group also debates a possible Indiana-Ohio State rematch in the Big Ten Championship, whether Oregon or Penn State could complicate the race, and why the Big Ten's top teams may once again define the national title chase.
College football is officially back, and Week 0 gave us plenty to chew on before the season really gets rolling. We start with North Carolina getting some revenge on TCU in Ireland, then turn to Virginia's emphatic win over NC State and a huge opening performance from Beau Pribula. How much should we believe after one game, and which results actually changed the way we see these teams? From there, we work through USC's somewhat misleading final score against San Jose State, Florida State's uneven opener against New Mexico State and a late-night Memphis-UNLV game that may have made the Group of Six playoff race a little more interesting. We also discuss Stanford's dramatic finish against Hawaii and the very different FBS welcome parties for North Dakota State and Sacramento State. Plus, the return of college football meant the debut of some noticeable changes to the TV experience. We review ESPN's post-BottomLine world, the new on-screen indicator showing which announcer is speaking, a pronunciation controversy involving Beau Pribula and one moment of sweet Eastern Pennsylvania vindication.

In this episode, Marta sits down with Grace, who has been part of The Practice behind the scenes for the past year and a half, to talk about what it means to listen to your own voice and trust your own path when the world around you is telling you what you should be doing.Drawing from Grace's experience of graduating from USC, moving to Australia without a traditional career plan, and discovering an unexpected love for a slower, smaller-town life, they explore what happens when we give ourselves enough space to discover what is actually true for us.This conversation focuses on belonging, self-trust, curiosity, decision-making, and the courage to take a path that may look different from the one everyone else is choosing. Marta and Grace explore the difference between fitting in and belonging, why discomfort is often part of the process, and how moving away from the familiar can help us hear parts of ourselves that may have gotten quieter over time.They also talk about the pressure young adults often feel to have their lives figured out—the right job, relationship, city, timeline, and next step—and the possibility that there may be no single “right” life waiting for us to discover.At its heart, this is a conversation about becoming. About making decisions without knowing exactly where they will lead, allowing ourselves to change our minds, and learning to meet uncertainty with curiosity rather than judgment.A thoughtful and deeply personal conversation about trusting yourself, finding your people, belonging without shape-shifting, and allowing your life to unfold one decision at a time.
North Carolina delivered Week Zero's biggest shock, holding TCU scoreless for the final 49 minutes of a rainy 15–10 upset in Dublin. Gary examines the Tar Heels' suddenly promising defense, Bobby Petrino's offensive debut, Billy Edwards Jr.'s steady performance and the costly penalties that doomed Sonny Dykes and the Horned Frogs.Memphis made an immediate statement under Charles Huff by overcoming UNLV's advantages in yardage, possession time and turnovers. The Tigers' dominant defensive front produced six sacks and helped reshape the early Group of Six College Football Playoff race.Virginia supplied the weekend's most complete performance, crushing NC State behind Bo Pribula, an experienced offensive line and a relentless rushing attack. The result raises expectations in Charlottesville while creating serious early questions for CJ Bailey and the Wolfpack.The rapid-fire reaction round covers Stanford's wild escape against Hawaii, Florida State's troubling performance against New Mexico State, USC's explosive start and defensive collapse, North Dakota State's dominant FBS debut and Sacramento State's unusual opener against Eastern Michigan.Gary also breaks down the most important Week Zero betting results: unders finished 6–2, favorites went just 4–4 against the spread and both outright underdog winners leaned on defense. Plus, a look ahead to a loaded Week 1 featuring LSU–Clemson, Oregon–Boise State, Notre Dame–Wisconsin and SMU–Florida State.
Indiana football is less than a week from beginning its 2026 season, and CrimsonCast is back with a full game-by-game preview of the reigning national champion Hoosiers under Curt Cignetti.Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield look at where IU fits in the national college football conversation after a 16-0 championship season, why some analysts still seem reluctant to fully buy into the Hoosiers, and what Indiana has to do this year to erase any remaining “fluke” narrative. They discuss the program's player-led culture, the challenge of repeating, the historical rarity of back-to-back national championships, and why Josh Hoover may give Indiana a different but potentially even more explosive offensive ceiling after Fernando Mendoza.Then the show turns into a full schedule breakdown: North Texas, Howard, Western Kentucky, Northwestern, Rutgers, Nebraska, Ohio State, Michigan, Minnesota, USC, Washington, and Purdue. Galen and Scott talk through trap spots, road-game concerns, Memorial Stadium atmospheres, the massive Ohio State rematch, the historical weight of trying to win at Michigan, USC and Washington as late-season tests, and the Old Oaken Bucket finale.The episode closes with season predictions, Big Ten championship scenarios, College Football Playoff expectations, and why both hosts land on 11-1 for Indiana — with a possible Big Ten title game rematch against Ohio State still very much on the board.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU athletics, Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers, Big Ten football, and the 2026 college football season.

Gary examines the latest spreads, injury reports, quarterback decisions, betting splits and updated leans before Saturday's action begins.TCU is receiving overwhelming support ahead of its Dublin rematch with North Carolina, pushing the Horned Frogs close to a double-digit favorite.

ESPN's Top 100 College Football Players list sparks controversy as major programs like Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida State, and USC are shockingly underrepresented. Are media biases shaping national perception—and which elite talents like Florida State's Duce Robinson and Notre Dame's Braunte Johnson as just a few of the overall examples. The conversation exposes inconsistencies in ESPN's rankings, questioning the logic behind power program omissions and the network's impact on college football narratives. The discussion shifts to NC State's matchup with Virginia, spotlighting CJ Bailey's NFL-caliber potential, Duke Scott's breakaway speed, and NC State's favorable schedule as possible factors in an ACC title run. Key matchups—like Virginia's veteran O-line against NC State's defense—take center stage, along with the broader issue of limited media access and its effect on coverage. Can the Wolfpack capitalize on their soft slate, or will another “what the heck” upset strike? Don't miss this critical breakdown and spirited listener debate. Support us by supporting our sponsors!

John Henion, director of Netflix's new documentary Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young, joins the show to unpack the rise and fall of the Texas Longhorns legend, from his childhood in Houston's Hiram Clarke neighborhood, raised by his mother and grandmother while his father was in and out of prison, through his legendary run at Texas under Mack Brown, and into the conflict-riddled NFL career that followed. On January 4th, 2006, Vince Young delivered what's still argued to be the greatest individual performance in college football history, 467 total yards and a game-winning touchdown with 19 seconds left, beating USC to give Texas its first national title in 35 years, and the Rose Bowl made him a legend. What came after became a cautionary tale: a bruising relationship with the Tennessee Titans, a leaked Wonderlic score that followed him for years, a very public mental health scare, and a $26 million bankruptcy. The film culminates in how Vince has worked to become the present, hands-on father he never had.

College football is finally back! In this episode, we get ready for the first Saturday of the 2026 season with our full Week 0 preview and picks, starting with TCU and North Carolina in Ireland and working through all eight games on the slate. Which teams can we actually trust right out of the gate, which new quarterbacks and coordinators are worth watching, and could Week 0 give us a few games that matter much more than they initially appear? We dig into the first game action for USC and Florida State, disagree on NC State-Virginia, welcome North Dakota State and Sacramento State to the FBS ranks and try to make sense of Stanford-Hawaii before closing with a Memphis-UNLV game that could have bigger postseason implications than most people realize. Along the way, we drop our score predictions, identify a potential upset and play a few sound effects to get you ready for gameday. Before the games, we also catch up on the latest college football news, including a wave of quarterback decisions, the increasingly bizarre eligibility fight over players trying to return from the NFL, another Lane Kiffin-related circus and ESPN making a notable change to its college football broadcasts.
