2025-26 College Football Thread

ESPN - Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler react to the Longhorns’ performance as they gave the No. 6 Sooners their first loss of the season.​

Pedo state loses third in a row. It is always a good day when they lose.

I think the biggest game was Indiana beating Oregon. Gotta put some respect on Indiana's name after taking out the ducks on the ducks home field.

Texas Tech continues to look good. Second time Morton had to leave the game and their Backup Hammond took over helped them win.

Not a Missouri fan but man they gotta feel sick.

UCLA wins their second in a row after they fire HC Foster.

Washington gave Ole Miss a run for the money but fell short.

BYU rallies and remains undefeated

USC embarrasses Michigan

Rhule has Nebraska with a surprising 5-1 record

Fickell and Wisconsin continues to struggle. Will he survive the season.

Looks like Pitt finally found their QB...for now.

Georgia Tech still undefeated. Quietly having a good year

Cincy quietly having a good year

Texas Oklahoma game...Have to say it was a let down. Not because of who won and who lost. I was just hoping it would be a more exciting game with a lot of scoring and coming down to the last drive or two...in other words a competitive game. Which is was not as Texas Dominated. Which is good if you are a Texas fan. Not so good if you are a SEC fan.
 
Probably too little, too late, for Texas to get back in the playoffs? Aggies are on track to be in it though. Was wondering if Florida would take that momentum from their Texas win against A&M, but I guess not. One and done. I didn't realize how well Texas Tech was doing this year. They are #1 in team offense yards and almost #1 in team defense yards. Impressive. I wonder if Indiana would be undefeated if they were in the SEC.

If Texas win out, which includes games against Georgia and Texas A&M, I would think they’d probably sneak into the playoffs…

Yeah, 12 teams is a pretty low bar. Notre Dame and Texas both will get in if they win out.

I think most thought Indiana last year was a fluke. This year they are showing they actually are a real program. Frankly for the first time in their history they could be true contenders for a championship. THE Championship. We will see as the year goes by; they do not have to play Ohio State until the championship game and there is no one left on the schedule that they should not beat. It will be a test to see if they are ready to no longer be the underdogs.

Texas is meh but Manning has improved; we will see

OSU right now is clearly on top. Have to be the favorites to win it all again

If they do that, they could be playing in the SEC Championship game

That's a huge stretch though.

Sure they can. Given who they still have to play, they still have a real shot.
They will need some help though
 
Every time Sooners becomes good, Sooners always lose to bad Texas teams, it just never fails! Once I saw that Mateer is starting, I knew Sooners would lose, Mateer is not even close to ready and Venables is an idiot for putting him in, I never liked the Venables hire to begin with but congratulations to Texas!

At least Oklahoma is working on its defense
They probably could have won a couple more NCs under stoops if he had worked at getting a really good DC and the talent to match

The issue with Stoops was that Stoops was just too loyal to his brother who was an awful defensive coordinator

Looks like Bill and UNC are in talks.

https://www.on3.com/college/north-c...gger-own-buyout-north-carolina-officials-unc/

In conversations with officials at North Carolina, Bill Belichick “signaled willingness” to trigger his own buyout if he could find “a soft landing with another team or in media,” according to a report from Ollie Connolly. If Belichick chooses to leave UNC, he would owe the school $1 million.

Connolly reported some staffers believe North Carolina could make a change within two weeks. Additionally, he said members of Belichick’s staff have had conversations with other schools in College Football Playoff contention about possible postseason roles.

During North Carolina’s first bye week, some coaches had a hard time getting in touch with Belichick, Connolly reported. His communication has been “weird” and “distant,” multiple coaching staff members told Connolly.

Those reports always seemed BS made up by boosters.
Bill B most certainly isn't paying to leave when other guys are getting 50M to walk away.

  • Buyout if fired without cause: $20,833,333 as of Dec 1, 2025
  • Buyout if he resigns after June 1, 2025: He owes UNC $1 million

Why would he quit? I mean 21 mill difference is worth it to suck up a lot of misery.

Realistically, if feelers were put pout there it would likely be to mee tint he middle at like a 10M buyout for UNC and a soft landing on a network making another 7-8 m per.
