Tom Fornelli's complete guide to ensuring the best college football product as changes loom ahead of the 2026 season Change is coming to the College Football Playoff. We don't know what the format will look like in 2026 after the Big Ten and SEC gain control over it, but we know it won't look like the version we saw in 2024. That format didn't even last a year, as the powers that be saw the flaws in it and -- rightfully -- made the correct change in going to straight seeds. It was a refreshing breath of fresh air to see swift and productive change. It's also not something I'm counting on becoming the norm. So while The Powers That Be continue to meet over steak dinners in the coming months to hammer out a format, I've decided to gently nudge them in the direction they need to go.

Son, do you want to play in and win games versus the top 5? Respectfully submitted, Jimmy Franklin.

I again tapped into A Eye , a knowledgeable dude. The Tennessee coach in 1962 was Bowden Wyatt. Jim McDonald took over in 1963. I'm guessing it was under Jim that the Vols passed on home boy Steve Spurrier.

They’re playing the distance card to their advantage. Can’t blame them for using every tactic possible. Penn State Negatively Recruiting Oregon Ducks For 5-Star Immanuel Iheanacho? Five-star offensive line recruit Immanuel Iheanacho is considering the Oregon Ducks, Penn State Nittany Lions, LSU Tigers, and Auburn Tigers. Will Iheanacho choose to play close to home with Penn State, or can Ducks coach Dan Lanning land the elite prospect? Penn State Negatively Recruiting Oregon Ducks For 5-Star Immanuel Iheanacho? WWW.SI.COM Five-star offensive line recruit Immanuel Iheanacho is a highly-coveted prospect, and it appears as though the Penn State Nittany Lions coaching staff is using

Thanks Jon, he took over in '93 right? Who was the coach who was there when Spurrier was looking at colleges.Was it Majors? I guess I could not be lazy and do a two minute search and find out. But you are like the Ken Jennings of college football information. I trust you more than Wikipedia. I don't know if there are any Vols on here.

In the midst of uncertainty, Gary Bryant’s experience stands out Evan Stewart’s injury has added to the growing uncertainty of the wide receiver depth chart this offseason. While Dakorien Moore is expected to follow in the footsteps of standout true freshmen like Ryan Williams and Jeremiah Smith before him, Oregon’s wide receiver room remains full of questions due to its youth and lack of starting experience. Plenty of names have been mentioned as potential candidates to step up in Evan Stewart’s absence—Jurrion Dickey, Malik Benson, Jeremiah McClellan, among others. But what if the answer is the veteran in the room? What if it’s Gary Bryant Jr.? In the midst of uncertainty, Gary Bryant’s experience stands out - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Oregon moves on without one of its top wide receivers Evan Stewart, will it be Gary Bryant Jr's time to shine?

CBS Sports Ideas for 2026-27 PO Format. Good ideas on the whole. There are 136 teams eligible for the PO in 2026-27, not 135. There is no need for 2 G6 (CFB has a G6 and not a G5) teams in the field. This gives the 1st and 2nd seeds home game gimmes. Last season, No. 1 OBD would have played No. 16 Army. That No. 2 Georgia would have had to play No. 15 Clemson is absurd. Boise State should have been last season's No. 12 seed; Exhibit 'A' on the Committee's process being screwed up. If you want the best teams in the PO, why cap the B1G and the SEC at 4 teams? I do like 16 teams with no byes and home games until the semi-final and championship games. I'd have the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, and Orange Bowl as PO sites, not the Fiesta and Peach Bowls. I generally agree on the changes to the schedule, but the semifinals should be played on the 1st of January, the 2nd if the 1st falls on a Sunday. The Champ game should be played on a Saturday. If the NFL does not agree to block out an exclusive broadcast window on Champion Saturday, how about no more NFL on-campus Pro Days? And NFL scouts have to buy a ticket to attend CFB games. I love Notre Dame having to play 10 P4 teams. Getting rid of conference champ games sounds good, but how will the loss of media deal revenue be made up? Play the conference champ games Thanksgiving week on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Use the AP poll before Selection Sunday, with positive and negative outlier votes tossed out. Broadcast the CFB PO committee deliberations and require the committee to use publicly disclosed metrics as part of the process, and explain any variance from the use of a metric. Don't allow Greg Sankey to be a part of the PO design.

So true. So many worthless articles right now, (I still click them) but wow are some bad. I won't post the link so you don't waste your time, but this was an article from a few days ago that never presented any data or the two things that were bringing stormy skies... This was the clickbait title; Dan Lanning faces stormy skies as Oregon’s CFP dreams falter amid double blow reality check

Sankey really thinks that involving other conferences at all just clutter things up. The last two seasons should be vacated due to lack of SEC participation.

Not exactly "The Conference of Champions"

Jon Canzano was writing this as well, as Texas State has to give notice to the big conference they belong to in the next two weeks for departure to the Pac-12. What conference are they coming from? Why the powerful Sun Belt conference, of course! That is who you choose from? Media contract is estimated to be between eight and twelve million a year to the "new" Pac-12, per school. Beavis would have been so much better off to remain in the old Pac-12, and taken a reduced payout to keep us retained. But they knew better! As Oregon is going to get 54 million this year and climbing from our media contract... Boy I'm glad we made the change! Report: Texas State 'heavy favorite' to join Pac-12, could start realignment ripple WWW.ON3.COM .

Is Sankey Schizo? Didn't he call out the PO committee last season for counting losses and not quality wins? Now, the 13 experts will certainly 'Get It?' Greg Sankey explains why he's in favor of keeping College Football Playoff selection committee over computers - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Greg Sankey is in favor of a College Football Playoff selection committee over utilizing computers to figure out who the top teams are. Why not the CBB committee approach of using human beings who rely upon disclosed metrics and explain if they go 'off-metric '? 'The SEC wants guaranteed PO spots because we don't trust the committee.' 'Oops, what we really want is our champ in and 11 teams chosen at large.' 'We need to play 9 conference games?' 'Oops, considering our conference has a gauntlet like no other, 8 games is just fine.' 'Let's have an SEC vs. B1G Football Challenge!' 'Oops, maybe not?' Is he trying to drive Tony Petitti crazy?

DAT has become immortal in the sense that his speed is how every player is measured. If OBD can ever get a player that fast, who can play RB and receiver...!!! Maybe the next would block better? I'd put Ahmad Rashad (Bobby Moore) from that time.

Can't keep the teams straight, Omaha and Oklahoma City both start with O, it is a lot to ask, I guess.

Phillip Fulmer was the coach at Tennessee. Fulmer went 2-7 vs. Florida and Spurrier. 2-2 vs. Spurrier at South Carolina. (Disclosure: I looked this up. )

OBD, 1st on PSU and James Franklin's 2025 List - What does head coach James Franklin need to do to avoid the hot seat in 2025-26? VICTORYBELLRINGS.COM The strides made in the 2024-25 Penn State football season don't go unnoticed. If anything, they only make people expect more. For head coach James Franklin, no Danno, you just made the list, buddy. White Out! B1G Deal. PSU is overlooking the impact Charles and Company will have on this Week 5 game.

That trio was my top 3 as well. One could quibble about the order but from an opponent's perspective, each of these three would make somebody's top 3. Incidentally, I once asked Champ Baily, who was drafted by the Washington Redskins, then coached by Spurrier who used to taunt the Dawgs relentlessly, what it was like to play for Spurrier. He just smiled broadly commenting that he was a great guy and all the taunting was just part of who he was. He seemed to genuinely like the guy.

I was shocked to discover he was born in Miami. His father was a pastor in both Georgia and Tennessee. The Volunteers didn't recruit him because he ran something called the wing T. Jon, you know more about the history of college football than I. Was Johnny Majors the coach of Tennessee at that time?

Ngata was a man and a half. I think he helped prolong Ray Lewis career in Baltimore. I remember Lewis complaining about the lack of any help after Tony Siragusa retired. I laughed because he had a guy like Ed Reed behind him, but Ray needed some space eaters up front to allow him space to disrupt running lanes or get to the QB.

Football and BASEBALL!

I think her play in the Olympics helped her confidence. A terrific athlete improving their game is great to watch. Caitlin Clark X'd on the US Open at Oakmont. was shown yesterday on NBC's broadcast: 'Does anyone have fun playing there? I wouldn't break 130!' Color Commentator Kevin Kisner - 'If she played from way back tees, she'd run out of ammunition before finishing her round.'

Getting to Oklahoma? The MCWS is in Omaha...
