College Football fans—AP Top 25 vs Coaches Poll, the ESPN–FOX streaming bundle, and SEC/Big Ten/ACC/Big 12 storylines are all on deck. We break down why the polls see Texas, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia, Notre Dame, Oregon, Alabama, LSU, and Miami so differently—and what that means on the field. Plus: Oklahoma headlines (John Mateer Venmo noise), Oklahoma State’s hire of Todd Grantham after a rough 2024, and Michigan recruiting talk with 2027 QB Peter Bourque.

We kick off with the who/what/when/where/why of my new gig (shoutout Mike Yam) and a reminder that Ryan Leaf was elite in CFB—NFL outcomes shouldn’t erase college greatness.

Streaming power shift: Starting Oct 2, ESPN’s new DTC app + FOX One bundle at $39.99/mo could let fans drop cable and still access the vast majority of live sports. If it sticks, ESPN/FOX gain leverage—and college football remains the anchor of U.S. sports streaming.

Venmo & compliance: Mateer says he doesn’t gamble; Oklahoma is aware. Public memos are dumb, proof is tricky—likely much ado about nothing.

OSU & Grantham: Cam Jordan blasted his NFL DL stint, but college DC ≠ NFL position coach. For Oklahoma State, scheme fit and results will decide 2025.

QB ages in 2025: Older QBs are normal now (think Bo Nix/Cam Rising). Bourque being nearly 18 with two HS seasons left isn’t unusual—maturity and reps beat birth dates.

AP Poll snapshot: Texas barely at No. 1; Penn State surged; Georgia/Alabama split voters; Oregon/Notre Dame steady; LSU/Miami polarizing; fringe volatility for ASU, Illinois, K-State, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Boise.
