Week Zero is in the books — and college football wasted no time giving us plenty to talk about.

I'm breaking down my biggest winners and losers from College Football Week Zero, including a coach who may finally have his program moving in the right direction, a coach whose seat just got a whole lot hotter, a quarterback who announced himself in a big way, and another whose NFL Draft stock took an early hit.

I'll also break down one of the biggest statement wins of the weekend, an old-school coaching philosophy making waves, and one fanbase that needs to do better.

Then I'll wrap things up with my favorite College Football Week 1 betting picks

The 2026 college football season is finally here — and the race for the College Football Playoff is wide open.

I'm making my 12-team College Football Playoff prediction for 2026, and there are some big names, some major questions, and at least a couple of picks that might surprise you.

Can Oregon turn the most complete roster into the 1 seed in the CFP? Does Arch Manning finally lead Texas to the CFP? Which teams take the next step? And which teams are flying completely under the radar?

I'll break down my entire 12-team CFP field, why each team is getting in, the biggest question standing in their way, and why.

The 2026 NFL season is almost here — and for these seven quarterbacks, there's more at stake than just winning games.

I'm breaking down the 7 NFL quarterbacks with the most to prove in 2026, and every one of them has a very different question to answer.

Can Justin Herbert finally prove he's actually elite? Does Dak Prescott need to turn elite regular-season production into real team success? Can C.J. Stroud become the reason the Texans win instead of simply being the quarterback on a winning team?

And then there's Trevor Lawrence, who has officially run out of time to live off his potential; Jalen Hurts, who needs to evolve and raise the ceiling of Philadelphia's offense; Bryce Young, who has to prove he's a legitimate franchise quarterback; and Kyler Murray, who may be fighting for his NFL future.

I'll break down exactly what each quarterback needs to prove in 2026 — and why this could be a defining season for all seven.
