I like watching college football better than any other college sport but only if two Top 25 teams. The season goes too late as well. Needs to hold the National championship within a week of New Year’s Day.
The crappy “pre-season” games should be just that and not count.
Seems a lot of Oregon fans in this thread. Are you proud to face Boise State and Portland State? You are favored by 24 and 37 points. You have to play conference games and will be a stinker or three each season but no one wanted to watch Mike Tyson box Sugar Ray Leonard. They were of different weight classes so not a fair fight and thus never held. Fans deserve better.
Oregon is not the villain as most Top 25 programs want “preseason” automatic wins but are shams that only a sadist fan could enjoy past the first couple of drives.
Here are games I have circled. Oregon is absent.
9/12 Ohio State at Texas. Huge early non-conference game. Will lace up the cleats for their second games of 2026.
9/19 LSU at Ole Miss. Conference games. Coach Kiffin slinks back into town after bailing during a Championship run. Seems Portland State was already booked this weekend so these teams forced to play each other. Fans win.
10/10 Georgia at Bama. ‘Nuff said.
10/17 The Ohio State goes to Indiana. Matches up the most recent two National Champs. I will Google IU’s coach’s wiki immediately post-game since he wins. A lot. That’s what he does.
11/7 U of Miami at Notre Dame. I don’t care for either team though will be watching if both are in Top 10 that week.
11/27 Texas at Texas A&M. Big Boy NIL game.
11/28 Michigan at The Ohio State. Can’t miss rivalry that rarely is settled before 4th Quarter begins. These teams won two of the prior three National Championships.
