Dabo Swinney is still talking---and this time, it’s a shot (for some reason) at Notre Dame because they have money May 07, 2026

Show notes

-The long-time Clemson head coach was on Greg McElroy’s Always College Football show recently and talked about a variety of things,

including the Tigers’ success against elite teams over the years after what was a disappointing season in 2025

-He then said: “I mean, Notre Dame has their own TV station, they make their own rules, they make their own money. They’ve got a

money-printing machine in their backyard or something.” Sadly we don’t see these 2 teams play until 2027…

ESPN listed their B1G Power Rankings yesterday and Nebraska sits at 8 th in the league…but it’s who has dropped to 4 th which is the real conversation May 07, 2026

Show notes

-Nebraska will end up probably between 8 th to 11 th on almost every list you see for the B1G in power rankings, so 8 th is nice to see from

ESPN, who basically said Nebraska has had good starts under Matt Rhule—but November has been a problem and needs to be fixed

-The real story is who is at No. 4---OHIO STATE!!—behind Indiana, Oregon, and USC. Now THAT would be a story if they fell that

far…does The Stool see that happening? Between Ohio State and Nebraska is Penn State, Michigan, and Iowa…

Sean Callahan (Husker Online) May 06, 2026

Show notes

-A glance at the 2027 recruiting rankings shows a surge from the West Coast teams in the B1G…are we about to see a big leap in

one point before decommitting…what happened with his recruitment?

-5-star TE Ahmad Hudson commits to LSU over Nebraska…are the Huskers in pursuit of another tight end to replace him or not?

If you’re a believer that returning production matters in college football, then Nebraska should be better than people think this year May 06, 2026

Show notes

-CBS Sports went through each team’s roster using data from TruMedia, tracking the percentage of returning snaps on offense and

defense from last year…and Nebraska ranks 12 th in most returning percentage of snaps, at 56%...54% returning snaps from offense and

57% from defense, which ranks 13 th in the country

-That has to matter this year…right? Unless you think the talent wasn’t good enough last year and won’t be still this year?

College football’s all-time leading passer hasn’t been on the ballot for the Hall of Fame and one coach wants the changed May 06, 2026

Show notes

-Houston head coach Willie Fritz recently submitted a nomination letter on behalf of former Cougars’ QB Case Keenum to get on the

College Football Hall of Fame ballot for the first time. Keenum is the NCAA’s all-time leading passer with 19,217 yard with Houston over

5 seasons from 2007-11, but he’s not eligible because he never was any of the 5 outlets perceived as the governing body

-We understand the premises of the lack of being an All-American..but he’s the all-time leading passer….should he have a chance?
