🏈 Sacramento State to FBS? Plus the 24-Team CFP Debate & Big Ten 2026 Preview w/ College Football with Sam | Football Weather

Realignment chaos and playoff politics are back — and it’s officially Football Weather.

Galen Clavio and Matt Blaszka break down Sacramento State’s surprising move to the MAC and the FBS, what it means for the future of the Group of Five, and whether schools are racing to move up before the “drawbridge” to FBS closes.

Then the guys dive into the leaked Big Ten 24-team College Football Playoff proposal, why SEC pushback is predictable, and the deeper issue: flawed team evaluation, bad incentives, and the danger of losing meaningful September matchups.

After the break, College Football with Sam joins the show for a wide-ranging Big Ten preview — including Indiana’s title defense, Oregon’s loaded roster, Ohio State’s brutal schedule, Michigan’s roster turnover, and sleeper teams like Iowa and Washington.
