    The Big 12 Is WIDE OPEN After Week 5… And That's Great News

    Week 5 of Big 12 football delivered chaos, comebacks and one huge takeaway: There may not be a dominant team in this conference. BYU survived a rainy road battle against TCU, Houston erased a 17–0 deficit against UCF, Texas Tech struggled early before pulling away from Colorado, and Iowa State won a wild shootout against West Virginia. But while the Big 12 may not have one unstoppable team, the conference is quietly putting itself in a very strong national position. BYU, Texas Tech, Utah, Houston and Oklahoma State are all hanging around the upper tier of college football, and the possibility of multiple College Football Playoff contenders is becoming very real. Pasted text In this episode of First and 16, we break down the biggest takeaways from Week 5 and where the Big 12 stands heading into Week 6. Who is the best team in the Big 12 right now? BYU? Utah? Texas Tech? Houston? Oklahoma State? Drop your pick in the comments.

    24 Team Playoff Will SAVE College Football

    Would a 24-team College Football Playoff ruin college football? I think it would do the exact opposite. In this episode of First and 16, I break down five reasons why expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams could actually make the regular season MORE meaningful — not less. Right now, we're only a few weeks into the season and dozens of teams already have almost no realistic path to the playoff without winning their conference. Expand the field, and suddenly games across the Big 12, SEC, Big Ten, ACC and beyond could carry playoff implications deep into November. We also break down: • Why expansion could encourage better non-conference scheduling   • Why first-round playoff games could produce great matchups   • The problem with the current bowl system   • How few FBS teams actually make the postseason   • How NIL and the transfer portal have changed roster building   • Why playoff seeding and first-round byes would keep huge regular-season games meaningful   • Why a 24-team field could give more of college football something meaningful to play for Would you expand the College Football Playoff to 24 teams, keep it at 12, or choose something completely different?

    Is ESPN Creating SEC Bias? These 6 AP Poll Stats Are INSANE

    Is ESPN's college football coverage helping create an SEC bias in the AP Top 25? I went through the numbers, and I found six statistical anomalies from the 2025 and 2026 college football seasons that I think deserve a much bigger conversation. We're talking about BYU's historic ranking at 11-1, two undefeated Power Four teams meeting while neither is ranked, the SEC making up 40% of the AP Top 25, Florida making one of the biggest jumps in years, the lack of G6 teams in the rankings, and the SEC's unusual net movement following ranked matchups. Does this prove there's some secret conspiracy among AP voters? No — and that's not what I'm arguing. My argument is that the enormous amount of national attention surrounding the SEC could influence the way teams and conferences are perceived by voters and college football fans. In this episode of First and 16, I break down the numbers and explain why I believe the relationship between national media coverage, conference perception and the AP Top 25 deserves more scrutiny. Do these numbers show SEC bias? Or is there another explanation? Drop your take in the comments.

    Conference Realignment is BACK!? How the Save College Sports Act Changes Everything

    The Save College Sports Act just took a major step forward — and it could have MASSIVE implications for college football realignment. With a proposed 20-team cap for power conferences, could the SEC and Big Ten expand again? What happens to the ACC? Could the Big 12 benefit? And could schools like Clemson, Florida State, Notre Dame, Miami, Boise State, Oregon State and Washington State eventually be involved? On this episode of First and 16, I break down three potential paths for the future of college football and why conference realignment could be far from finished. Topics: • Save College Sports Act • College football realignment • SEC expansion • Big Ten expansion • Big 12 expansion • ACC realignment • 20-team conferences • Clemson & Florida State • Notre Dame • Future of college football Subscribe to First and 16 for college football news, Big 12 coverage, realignment, rankings and analysis.
