SPOILER ALERT - Scores of games appear below. UNC 15 - TCU 10 - Instead of this game, it's a toss-up whether I'd rather watch two guys fish for guppies or paint dry. The difference between playing at Harvard and TCU: QB Jaden Craig's receivers at Harvard could catch the football. SJS at USC - How to represent the Big Ten Trojans: I believe OBD had twice as many fans attend the Spring game. Yes, it was 92 degrees at KO, but at KO for NC State at UVA it was 86 with 60% humidity, and the stadium is sold out.

Yep…need a VPN connected to a server in the US to bypass restricted licensing areas when traveling. Nord works well from Mexico.

when abroad, we use a VPN (Nord but there are others) and simply use Xfinity stream--one benefit of cable. the vpn uses a Seattle server, or whatever location you choose; and the provider thinks that is where we are. Some channels are restricted to in home wifi and i have to record those and watch later.

Not sure if I’m looking at a Vogue ‘Ultimate Make-Over’ or something to do with football. The problem - as always - with attempting to replicate someone else’s success is everyone else is eyeing the same solution. The pickings just get thinner and thinner as the discards are falling through the cracks.

Does anyone know the best streaming sites to watch games out of country? Going to Honduras and will be gone for the first 2 games. Central America could be a challenge but I am not sure.

Great take, Log. Thanks. This year's group of oldies and hopefully goodies plays today. This season's rest home is located in Charlottesville, Virginia, on the campus of Mr. Jefferson's University. Virginia -5.5 vs NC State. The Cowboys model in part copies Cig's first year at Indiana. Coach Eric Morris has brought many of his best North Texas players with him from North Texas to Stillwater. Mike Gundy had thrown in the towel. I'm not certain that Coach Morris had any choice but to start from scratch. We get to watch QB Mestemaker and listen to the Paddle People in Week 2.

I doubt it works. Not sure following a model that was mostly successful due to covid rules that no longer apply is a solid strategy. IU was the oldest team in the playoff field last year. And I think it may not have been close outside of Miami (the other NC participant). Oregon was the youngest team in the CFP. Experience matters. This year's Ducks should capitalize on being a year older. When you have 25 yo grown men coming into the prime of physical development coupled with mental maturity under duress intercepting balls or slinging the rock, it makes a huge difference. The model OSU and UM followed in 23' and 24' was, in my opinion, the same that helped IU win in 25. Maturity and experience. I do recognize the lack of blue chip ratio between IU and tOSU/UM. So I have to give Cig some respect, he can coach for sure. But age and experience, to me, played a much bigger role. Oregon run, being the youngest in the field, was pretty remarkable. Lanning deserves some respect in taking such a young team deep into the playoff. I highly doubt Okie State can duplicate what IU did last year. I doubt IU can duplicate it. I could be wrong though.

With the tools he has on Ohio State's 2026 offense, new OC Arthur Smith better put up a lot of points. Many Ohio State fans criticized Day's hire of Matt Patricia as DC. A coach with NFL experience and next to no college coaching experience. In 14 games, Ohio State held opponents to an average of 9.3 points a game. It was OC Brian Hartline's offense that no-showed in the two most important games of the season against Indiana and Miami. As was the case with Stein and Tosh, Hartline had to focus on recruiting and portal picking at his new job as HC of USF. With the game shortened by the clock not stopping for 1st downs except in the final two minutes of a half, Day, like many college coaches, has slowed the game down on offense. Fewer possessions also mean more teams going for it on 4th down. The hiring of NFL guy Arthur Smith to replace Hartline has been roundly criticized. But I think Smith, who was the Titans HC and most recently the OC with the Steelers, fits Day's more NFL-oriented game plan. The Patricia hire worked out, and I think it will be the same with Smith.

Since it doesn't involve a player injury, I'll go ahead and hope for it.

I understand how on paper the Buckeyes look great....but I was blown away talking to a VERY informed Ohio State fan...a former FishDuck editor who is incredibly knowledgeable. She is a little depressed at losing the former OC, and having Arthur Smith replace him. She feels that his track record is not impressive, and doubts that he has the chops to duplicate what has been done on offense at Columbus in the past. She stated that if the Buckeyes disappoint this year--it will be due to him! Something to watch for...

Baby steps, but incremental change is better than the status quo. IMHO the portal window shouldn't start until after the season is over. I get the conflict with the academic calendar, so let's figure out a way to have the playoffs wrap up around New Year's Day. That should go double for the coaches--if your team is still playing then you should still be coaching.

That makes tooooo much sense. Remember, we are dealing with the antithesis-mensa NCAA. Also, this year we may see the same teams playing in the league's CShip game a week before their traditional rivalry.

I like the new 5-for-5 eligibility rule, especially because Lame Kitten isn't happy.😍 I believe that these changes to the CFB calendar are all positive, but I'd like to see the portal open after the playoffs are finished.

Power 4 football kicks off tomorrow in Dublin, Ireland. On yesterday's eponymous show, Paul Finebaum named UNC's Bill Belichick the worst coach in college football history. Considering Charlie Weis coached college ball, this is a heck of an accomplishment for Billy. The twelve teams with the best Playoff Championship odds: 1. Ohio State - 13.5% Four O-line starters return for Ohio State; if improved from last season, Ohio State will be awesome on offense. But can DC Matt Patricia, after losing quality players to the NFL, be able to reload the defense against a brutal schedule ranked the fourth most difficult by SP+? 2. Notre Dame - 10.4% With a lightweight SP+ 62nd-ranked strength of schedule, the Irish should finish 12-0 or 11-1 and, without having to play a 13th conference championship game, be well-rested for a playoff run. 3. Oregon - 10.1% SP+ ranks Oregon's 2026 schedule as the 21st most difficult in CFB. Considering the disparity in competition, .03 behind the Domers is a dead heat, if not a nod in favor of the Ducks. 4. Indiana - 9.6% If transfer QB Josh Hoover improves under the coaching of Cig and OC Mike Shanahan, as has every QB who played for these two over the last decade, and with the Ohio State and USC games in Bloomington, if the Hoosiers can handle Michigan and Washington on the road, a second 16-0 season is possible. 5. Georgia - 9.2% Before NIL, direct payment to athletes, and unregulated free agency, I doubt you would see three Big Ten teams and Notre Dame with better odds to win it all in 2026 than the SEC team with the best odds. 6. Miami - 7.3% Quite the drop-off from the top 5 to No. 6 Miami. SP+ has the Hurricanes' schedule ranked 49th. If Mario can avoid in-game coaching errors and Miami can finish better than a woeful 86th in penalty yards, the November 7th game at Notre Dame could decide which team will finish 11-1 or 12-0. However, that's two big IFs for M&M. 7. Texas - 6.1% Mock's Playoff Predictor programming is not buying the Archie and the stellar players Sark picked from the portal hype. 'But in 2025, Archie improved so much later in the season,' right? Manning finished the 2025 season with the 38th-best QB rating. WR Cam Coleman is being compared to Jeremiah Smith. With Auburn in 2025, Coleman was targeted 87 times, finished with 56 receptions, 708 yards, and 5 TDs. When considering Auburn's QBs, these are good stats. But what was not good was a 6.7% drop rate on catchable balls. Jeremiah Smith played two more games than Coleman and finished 2025 with a sterling drop rate of 1.8%. And the two stud RB transfers predicted to light up the SEC in 2026 racked up big yardage in the Lesser 2 ACC and the B12. Texas finished with the 25th-best defense in 2025. Sark hired former Texas head coach-in-waiting Will Muschamp as his new DC. Can Muschamp improve the defense against a schedule that SP+ ranks as the nation's most difficult? The next time Sark gets Smart will be the first time. With a more seasoned team in 2026, I think Georgia will repeat as the SEC champion. Something new in 2026 gives the teams with the four first-round byes the opportunity to pick the second-round bowl site. If UGA wins the SEC and if it's not taken, you can count on Georgia picking the Peach Bowl in Atlanta and not the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. 8. Texas Tech - 4.9% There are 68 teams in the Power 4, including Notre Dame. Tech has the 71st-ranked strength of schedule and the top-rated roster in the B12. Next case. Round up some of the usual SEC suspects for the next four teams: 9. Alabama - 3.4%; Oklahoma - 3.2%; LSU - 2.3%; and Texas A+M 2.1%. PLAY BALL! And Zero In on Bashing Boise in Week 1!
