Big Ten Tier List | Oregon, Indiana & Ohio State's Title Chances | Why Michigan & Washington Improve

Big Ten Football, Iowa Football, Nebraska Football, Oregon Football, Indiana Football, Ohio State Football, Michigan Football, Washington Football, and the College Football Playoff picture are the focus of the 85th College Football with Sam live show.We release my full Big Ten Tier List for 2026, preview the 2026 Iowa and Nebraska football teams by breaking down their biggest strengths, weaknesses, schedules, and ceilings, and map out Oregon, Indiana, and Ohio State's realistic paths to winning the national championship and going on a College Football Playoff run this season.We also determine whether Michigan and Washington are better or worse in 2026, and react to two of your bold predictions: one that zero SEC teams win exactly 10 or 11 games this season, and another that Nebraska's offensive line carries the Huskers all the way to the College Football Playoff.Where does Kirk Ferentz's Iowa team land in my Big Ten tier list? What about Michigan under new head coach Kyle Whittingham and USC in Lincoln Riley's 5th year? Is Curt Cignetti actually more likely to repeat as national champion than people think, and what is the path for Ryan Day to win his second title and for Lanning to win his first? I will answer these questions and more in this show!College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.
