10 Burning Questions going into the 2026 Season

Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the first games of the college football season as Week Zero officially kicked off the year. He begins by reacting to #14 USC’s 16-point win over San Jose State and dives into whether Trojan fans should be excited or concerned with what they saw from the Trojans – and also gives his thoughts on the low fan attendance at the Coliseum for the opener. Klatt also discusses Bill Belichick’s North Carolina team pulling off the upset of TCU and whether we may have jumped to a conclusion on the Belichick era in Chapel Hill too early. Klatt shouts out Virginia for their blowout win and evaluates their potential to be this year’s Indiana in the ACC. Klatt also reacts to Memphis’ upset win over UNLV and it’s ramifications on the Group of 6 Playoff chase. He discusses Florida State’s lackluster win and explains why FSU is not the power they once were and how things could be about to go off the rails in Tallahassee. Klatt wraps the show up by breaking down the latest eligibility issue in the sport as NFL players try to come back for one more year of college football, explaining how we got into this mess and where he stands on it – while pointing out a particular group that nobody’s talking about that is being negatively impacted as a result.

Joel Klatt’s Top 10 Players for the 2026 Season

Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt evaluates 10 Head Coaches and establishes how much pressure they are under going into the season. From Coaches coming off disappointing seasons like Clemson’s Dabo Swinney to Coaches with fanbases expecting a major breakthrough this year like USC’s Lincoln Riley and Texas’ Steve Sarkisian, Klatt breaks down each situation and points out which game on the schedule could really ratchet up the pressure if things go sideways. What kind of pressure is Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer under this year as he goes into Year 3 with the Crimson Tide after 2 years which have had some successes but also some disappointments. How are Nebraska fans feeling about Matt Rhule as their HC enters Year 4 of his rebuild? How much pressure is on Lane Kiffin in Year 1 at LSU?

10 Head Coaches under Pressure for the 2026 Season

The expanded playoff has allowed 20 different teams to make it to a 12-team College Football Playoff over the last 2 years but which programs are most likely to make it to their first appearance this season? Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt tackles that question as he ranks his favorite candidates including teams that made the 4-team Playoff but have yet to make it into the 12-team format like Michigan and LSU as well as programs like USC still looking to make it back to the top of the sport. He also brings in teams from the Big 12 that will have a path to the Playoff like BYU and Arizona and an ACC team that could sneak their way into a win-and-in ACC Championship Game appearance.

The 10 teams most likely to make their first 12-Team College Football Playoff this season

Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt picks the best players since 2000 to make his All-21st Century team in College Football. How do you choose between QB’s like Joe Burrow,  Cam Newton, Vince Young, Tim Tebow and others? That’s the challenge Klatt takes on to build out his team. He debates between all-time great Running Backs like Christian McCaffery, Derrick Henry, Adrian Peterson and Reggie Bush but only one can be selected.  On the defensive side of the ball, it doesn’t get any easier deciding between players like Myles Garrett,  Will Anderson Jr and an Edge rusher from the early 2000’s that put up one of the greatest seasons we’ve ever seen. Secondary players like Ed Reed and Tyrann Mathieu battle it out with more recent players like Caleb Downs and Patrick Surtain. Let the debates begin!

Joel Klatt’s All-21st Century Team for College Football

Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt lists the 5 best games in the sport since 2000 including the National Championship Game between Texas and USC at the end of the 2005 season, a thriller in Lubbock and a historic offensive outburst by 2 future Pro Bowl QBs. He then considers some of the biggest “what if” moments in College Football like if Nick Saban had gone to Texas or if Tim Tebow had not chosen Alabama over Florida out of high school or if Ohio State’s Curtis Samuel had been marked short on 4th Down in OT vs Michigan in 2016 and more. Klatt also lists his favorite CFB uniforms and more viewer-submitted questions in the mailbag.
