2026/2027 NCAA Football

Well, it'll change. I'm surprised to see that Texas is so highly regarded. Maybe they're really back as perennial contenders. I wonder how Indiana will follow up after their amazing run last year.

Texas Tech had a good year, and they were looking to build upon last year's successes. They had put their hopes and prayers on Sorsby, knowing full well he bet on the team he played on, not once but thousands of times. Now with so much negative publicity, I wonder if their recruitment took a hit. Not sure, but I'd surprised to see them be as successful as last year.

TT has more money than most other schools, especially those in the B12. Anything they need, they can buy. Maybe not this year because it is late, but next year and forward for sure.
 
That's the name of the school. The players became obnoxious in the way they say "The" but in the PSAs from the University, it's done tastefully. OSU is not the only college so named.

In what state? Ohio only seems to have one OSU.

Lots of schools include the same prefix, but don't make it precious.

At least their fight song isn't as annoying as Michigan's or USC's. 😀
 
Michigan's fight song is widely regarded as the best ever. My son's hight school band teacher chose it for their school for that very reason; there isn't a better one.

It was professional players emphasizing "The" because the TV networks were recording individuals stating what school they played for in college. Players who went to other schools had picked up that bad habit as well, kind of mocking Ohio State alums. I don't think the networks do that much any more.
 
In coming Perdue AD put his foot in his mouth - not sure why he thought this was going to be a humorous comment.

On Thursday, McClelland told reporters at his introductory news conference that "we are here to win championships" at Purdue, adding "If you don't want to win championships, go to Indiana."

Did he forget who won the national championship? I guess that comment landed with a thud as the espn article states, LOL
 
I think a lot of college football fans are still having trouble with the idea that Indiana won a Natty. 😱

No question, but I will be surprised if they will be in that same conversation this november. I think their remarkable run was partly a fluke, partly because of Mendoza had an incredible year. This year, everyone will be gunning for them and with high expectations, comes high stress.
 
What you folks think if this?
Daniels sends cease and desist to LSU after Pickett given No. 5

Long story short, Jayden Daniels is a bit miffed that LSU gave is non-retired jersey to an incoming player.

At first blush, that seems a bit entitled, until you see that LSU was using his likeness for raising money, and recruiting. From that perspective, I do agree, he has every right to force them not to use his likeness if they didn't want keep his jersey from being reused.
 
The rankings are now out
No real surprises surprises, though we'll see how Indiana responds as the reigning national champs with every team now gunning for them.

If I were to put down, I'd say they will be struggling and will likely be falling in the ranking - how far is anyone's guess.

Man, we've truly entered WTF territory when a player cut by an NFL team can, and does, goes back to play CFB!

And it charts perfectly that Lane Kiffin would be the one taking advantage of that.
