CFB teams stacked with NFL prospects. OBD Tier 1. Ohio State Tier 2.😁😎😍 https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2027/story/_/id/49583503/2027-nfl-draft-prospect-heavy-college-teams-texas-oregon-notre-dame-miami

Actually it's more at the 1:12:00 mark.

"Did you bring enough guys?" Todd Hockney, The Usual Suspects CBS Sports' Blake Brockermeyer ranks the top 150 CFB players in 2026. He does not rank incoming 1st-year players, who used to be referred to as 'Freshmen' before the change to 5 seasons to play 5 years of eligibility. Blake predicts a National Championship for OBD in 2026. 39 Big Ten players are ranked, including these 10 Ducks - 2. QB Dante Moore/ 22. DT A'Mauri Washington/ 30. RB Dierre Hill Jr./ 36. CB Brandon Finney/ 51. WR Dakorian Moore/ 64. TE Jamari Jackson/ 77. Edge Teitum Tuioti/ 117. OG Dave Iuli/ 125. Edge Matayo Uiagalelei/ 137. S Koi Perich. Hey Cisco, where's Poncho? Washington 22 is too low. Finney 36 behind No. 5 Notre Dame CB Leonard Moore, who will face two, or maybe three, decent passing attacks in 2026? Blake has RB Davison sidelined 'for a few months,' which, based on updated information, is pessimistic. A nice ranking for Dierre Hill that is based on expectations and not on 2025 production. FYI - Oklahoma State QB Drew Mestemaker is ranked 10th, and RB Caleb Hawkins is ranked 101. No. 1 - Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith.

This is a "maturing-early" kind of player, as he looks like he could compete at Oregon right now, instead of his senior year of high school.

There is a picture of him and his pops filling out the sleeves in a dad and lad 'gun show' This kid looks like Boettcher 2.0 at 6'3" 245#.

Brayton Feister is a Rivals 4-Star, and visited Oregon three times, while he visited Penn State and Notre Dame twice, and USC, Michigan, Cal and Georgia once. This puts Oregon at No. 4 in the nation on the Rivals national ranking, just above Ohio State. We have 17 Blue-Chips verballed, which is pretty darn good. When we add a few portal transfers later--it will be another leading class!

Oregon caps off loaded recruiting class with commitment from elite LB Brayton FeisterThe Ducks have built a dominant defensive identity under Dan Lanning, and recruiting wins like Feister will only continue that trend. If all stays the same, Oregon will sign 7 top 150 recruits on defense alone which is as big of a win as you could get for the coaching staff.

Fox Sports has informed the NFL that it will not revise the current broadcast deal earlier than the conclusion of the current deal in 2030. The NFL has 80 of the 100 most-watched sporting events every season and is the broadcast priority for Fox, CBS, NBC, and Disney-ABC-ESPN. How much broadcast money will be available at the conclusion of the current B1G broadcast contract in June, 2030? The $100 million per year in broadcast money for every B1G program under the next broadcast agreement may be optimistic. More conference consolidation, more streaming, the biggest CFB brands going independent, Amazon and others bidding for CFB inventory, the Power 4 collectively selling or producing their own streamed game inventory with money split based on success on the field and court and the number of people watching your games, the playoff staying as is or returning to four teams for CFB and 64 or fewer teams for CBB? It's going to be an interesting fight for dollars, especially with the NFL considering expansion in the USA and abroad.

🚨JUST IN: Oregon Football Just Got AMAZING Recruiting News | Brayton Feister Commits To The Ducks">JUST IN: Oregon Football Just Got AMAZING Recruiting News | Brayton Feister Commits To The Ducks Brayton Feister announced his commitment to the Oregon football team while on the Pat McAfee show today. Brayton Feister is a 4-star recruit who will play linebacker for the Oregon Ducks. Feister completes the Oregon football 2027 recruiting class and could give Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning another top 10 recruiting class. Oregon football recruiting news and Oregon Ducks football news are all broken down in this college football YouTube video.

Oregon Ducks leap Mario Cristobal, Miami in 2027 recruiting rankingsThe Oregon Ducks got a big-time recruiting win on Friday morning, and they happened to score a secondary win over two of their former coaches while at it. Live on the Pat McAfee Show, 4-star linebacker Brayton Feister announced his commitment to the Ducks, choosing Dan Lanning's squad over the Ohio State Buckeyes, Georgia Bulldogs, and California Golden Bears. While Feister's choice of Oregon over Cal gives Lanning a win over former defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi, it also moved the Ducks up in the national recruiting rankings. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/recruiting/2026/08/14/oregon-ducks-2027-recruiting-rankings-feister-commitment/91302215007/

Thank you, Charles. FWIW, of the 12 B1G teams I've looked at so far, eight would be bowl-eligible with six or more wins. In 2025, every P4 conference had six teams that won five or fewer games. The SEC was so deep that 37.5% of the conference needed SCUBA gear. 😁

FLOCK TALK: POWER WITH, NOT POWER OVERThrough seven fall camp practices, Oregon’s player-led culture is becoming easier to see, not in speeches or slogans, but in who teaches, who corrects and who brings someone else along.Seven practices into Oregon’s fall camp, I am becoming less interested in hearing this described as Dan Lanning’s most player-led team and more interested in watching what that actually looks like. There have been enough practices now for some of the opening-week energy to wear off. Players are tired, the installation has grown and position battles are moving closer to producing actual consequences. Younger players are being asked to process more football at the same time their bodies are beginning to feel August, and veterans who already understand the expectations are being asked to help somebody else reach them.

It looks like a ton of B1G teams will have respectable records this year, and again--the disparity in scheduling is so puzzling. Great stuff Jon!

A second B1G Win Total six-pack. MINNESOTA - Over 6.5 - Agree. PJ Fleck enters his 10th season of rowing the Golden Gophers boat. To date, Fleck is 66-44 at Minnesota and a perfect 7-0 in bowl games. In 2026, I think Minnesota wins eight or more games and gives Fleck the chance to go 8-0. In 2026, Minnesota is the only Big Ten team that returns its head coach, offense coordinator, defense coordinator, and starting quarterback. Wow! QB Drake Lindsey returns after throwing for 2382 yards, 18 TDs, and 6 Interceptions in 2025. At 6'5" tall and 230 pounds, Lindsey is on NFL teams' watch lists. Preseason All-American Edge Anthony Smith was 1st-team All-Big Ten in 2025, posting 38 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, and a conference-leading 12.5 sacks. Smith is the Big Ten preseason defense Player of the Year. Minnesota lost safety Koi Perich to Oregon, but Smith, despite receiving interest from many programs, decided to stay in Minneapolis. Key to the season. Get the run game going again. In 2025, Minnesota's usually solid run game struggled, averaging only 103.2 yards a game. The Gophers' best running back, Darius Taylor, missed much of last season with injuries. Taylor is back, healthy and ready to take some of the pressure off Lindsey. In 2025, Lindsey was sacked 21 times and completed only 60% of his throws. In addition to Ohio State at Texas and Oklahoma at Michigan, Week 2 features another B1G vs. SEC matchup when Mississippi State plays at Minnesota. These are the only matchups in the regular season between Power 2 teams. Hopefully, the Gophers will get the B1G win. NEBRASKA - Over 6.5 - Agree. In addition to an OOC buffet of three out-of-conference cupcakes, the Cornhuskers play Michigan State, Rutgers, and Maryland. This is serendipitous scheduling for Coach Matt Ruhle, who is 2-25 against top-25 opponents, 0-8 at Nebraska, and plays Ohio State and Indiana at home and is on the road at Oregon, Washington, Iowa, and an Illinois team that is just outside the top 25. Key to the season. You may have heard that QB Dylan Raiola transferred to Oregon. If 2025 Mountain West Player of the Year QB Anthony Colandrea, coming to Lincoln from UNLV, can play close to how he played for Dan Mullen last season, I think Nebraska will find a seventh win. FWIW, Nebraska OC Dana Holgorson believes dual-threat Colandrea is a better fit for his system. 🤔 NORTHWESTERN - Under 5.5. Disagree. Key to the season. Will new Wildcats OC Chip Kelly improve QB Aiden Chiles' game? Key Game. Northwestern needs to defeat CU at Medicine Field in Week 2, before moving into renovated Ryan Field and playing Penn State in Week 4. A win over the Buffaloes should be one of at least six wins. PURDUE - Over 3.5. Agree. Key to the season. In Coach Barry Odom's second season, the Boilermakers should show modest improvement but still have a long way to go to be competitive in the Big Ten. Playing 11 Power 4 opponents in 2026 will not help Purdue's cause. In addition to opening against Indiana State, Purdue plays Wake Forest and Notre Dame out of conference. The good news is that all three are home games. RUTGERS - Under 4.5. Agree. Key to the season. In 2025, Coach Schiano's Rutgers defense was the worst he has put on the field in Piscataway. Wide receiver KJ Duff and RB Antwan Ray are preseason All-Americans. Will new DC Travis Johansen, coming in from the same position with South Dakota and with no P4 coaching experience, give Duff, Ray, and the offense some help? Most-asked question: What does Rutgers do with that B1G money? WISCONSIN - Over 7.5. Agree. With Colton Joseph coming in from Old Dominion to play QB, how can I not take the over? 😁 Newport Beach product Joseph is a dual-threat QB. In 2025, he led ODU to a 10-3 record, passing for 2624 yards, 21 TDs, and 10 INTs. He ran for 1007 yards, 6.4 yards per carry, and 13 TDs. On the 1st play from scrimmage in the opening game against Indiana, he ran for 75 yards and a 7-0 ODU lead, one of the very few times Indiana trailed last season. Even though Wisconsin opens against Notre Dame in Green Bay, the 2026 schedule is much easier than the 2025 gauntlet. Wisconsin plays Penn State, UCLA, and Iowa on the road, but plays USC and Minnesota at home and also draws Rutgers, Maryland, and Purdue, while missing Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, and Washington. Keys to the season. There is bad luck, but should the fates be this fickle? Under Coach Fickell, due to injuries, the starting QB coming out of Fall camp has started 11 of 37 games. Wisconsin has to keep Joseph healthy. Colton is a weapon in the run game, and he will get hit. Speaking of the run game. Under Luke Fickell, Wisconsin is 11-0 when rushing the ball for 150 yards or more. When running for fewer than 150 yards, the Badgers have won one game. Bucky, get back to your roots and run the 🤬ball! Agree on the over/under calls? Let me know because I am often wrong and often in doubt. Coming up: OBD, TOSU, PSU, UCLA, USC, and UWho.
