Kris Drew Picks College Football's Power 4 Champions & Dark Horses

Kris Drew of Dead Air Sports joins me to pick every Power 4 conference champion for 2026 and name his dark horse team to watch.We go league by league through the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, and SEC, with Kris making his call for who wins each conference and explaining his reasoning behind every pick. This is the kind of episode where Kris and I don't always land in the same place, particularly in the Big 12 and ACC, and we get into it when we disagree rather than just moving past it.After picking who wins each conference, Kris reveals his dark horse team, a program he thinks is being slept on nationally and could crash the conversation by the end of the season. We break down what has to go right for that team specifically, and why Kris is more confident in this pick than most people would expect.The Indiana football program, per Kris and me, will continue to sit atop the Big Ten, same with the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC. We differ on the ACC between SMU and Miami and on the Big 12 between Texas Tech and BYU.College Football with Sam's goal is to give you joy and mold you into the most educated fan.
