College football Week 1 is loaded: Michigan’s looming Connor Stallions sign-stealing punishment, Nebraska punter Archie Wilson’s emotional press moment, Kansas’ $300M mega-gift, and a spicy Hugh Freeze vs. Lane Kiffin subplot—plus my “10 things I’m watching in Week 1,” from Arch Manning vs the defending champs, LSU at Clemson, and Florida State vs Alabama, to Colorado’s first post-Shedeur/Travis look, Boise State at USF, and UCLA–Utah transfer QB debuts. We sort what should happen vs what will happen with Michigan, why investigations often punish the wrong people, and why college football needs a single football-specific governing body with real enforcement—think NFL-style clarity for the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and Big 12.

We also react to Archie Wilson’s homesickness as dads and former players (real life vs message-board tough guys), unpack Kansas donor David Booth’s $300M gift and what it signals in the NIL/donor-driven era, and explain why one whale donor can change a program’s trajectory—if you build broad support. Then it’s Freeze/Kiffin: creative play-call committee at Auburn, Kiffin’s trolling from Ole Miss, and whether it’s all jokes… or a recruiting sting after Mississippi 4-star Jase Matthews picked the Tigers.

Finally, my Week 1 checklist (10-1): Ireland spotlight for Iowa State/Kansas State QBs (Avery Johnson, Rocco Becht), can Boise State still mash on the ground without Jeanty vs USF, the Dylan Raiola pressure test vs Cincinnati and Brendan Sorsby, Colorado’s identity under Deion Sanders, transfer saviors Nico Iamaleava (UCLA) & Devon Dampier (Utah), can Syracuse hold up vs Tennessee, Hot-Seat Roulette with Baylor–Auburn, Castellanos’ talk vs Alabama, Brian Kelly and LSU’s slow-start problem at Clemson, and the oxygen-eating Arch storylines while Ohio State and Jeremiah Smith try to steal the show. Be one of us—smart, honest CFB talk you won’t get anywhere else.
