When thinking about potential winners of the 2026 Heisman Trophy, it’s worth looking back at last year’s voting results: Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin finished in fourth place. His Buckeyes' teammate, wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, was the top non-quarterback and was sixth. SEC stars Gunner Stockton (Georgia) and Trinidad Chambliss (Ole Miss) finished seventh and eighth, respectively. All of those players returned for another season of college football, which should […]

Four years into the Lincoln Riley era in Southern California, skepticism has eclipsed the early Trojan swagger that once existed. Just when doubt hit a peak, Riley and his staff delivered a definitive counterpunch. Riley and the Trojans shut out the noise by securing the No. 1 overall recruiting class in college football. Does a top ranking guarantee wins? Of course not, but Riley is now putting his vision to […]

Even before the 12-team College Football Playoff format, the Group of Five (now Group of Six) programs had their shot at competing with the top teams in the nation. However, none of them have been successful in the postseason. In 2021, the Cincinnati Bearcats were the first and only Group of Five team to make the four-team Playoff format. Then the format expanded to 12 teams in 2024. Boise State […]

After the success of this summer’s "Friendly Wager," which featured weekly posts from yours truly about betting the World Cup, my bosses at FOX Sports wanted to find another franchise for the coming football season. I’ve been doing sports betting content for 10 years now, and my favorite part of this racket is the connections I’ve built around Las Vegas. It’s one thing for me to handicap a game. It’s […]

It's about that time, as the offseason winds down, and predictions start looming. Which teams are bound to make waves this college football season? As Oregon returns plenty of production from their 2025 team and Indiana aims for a repeat title, the competition for conference championships and a national title are wide open. Here are Klatt's predictions for every Power Four conference champion, 12-team bracket and his national champion prediction: […]

It’s a new season, but bettors are expecting similar results from North Carolina, at least in college football Week 0 odds. In the kickoff to coach Bill Belichick’s second season at UNC, the Tar Heels opened as 6.5-point underdogs vs. TCU. Now, Carolina is an unpopular 8.5-point ‘dog for Saturday’s neutral-site clash in Dublin, Ireland. "It’s more an anti-Bill Belichick move, or maybe an anti-team move in general," Caesars Sports […]

Week 0 is upon us in college football, and the wait for pigskin games that count in the standings is nearly over. The headlines these days are often regarding legal battles over who is or isn’t eligible and players trying to return to campus from NFL training camps. But once the games start, all will be right in the world. Let’s take a look at three games I have my […]
