About this listen

Football Weather covers the college football landscape from a different perspective. Hosts Matt Blaszka and Galen Clavio explore the key storylines, games, personalities, and structural changes that dominate the college football landscape on a weekly basis. With one host from the northeast and one host from the midwest, we approach college football as the universal American sport that it is, rather than something that just belongs to one specific region of the country.

  • 🏈 Sacramento State to FBS? Plus the 24-Team CFP Debate & Big Ten 2026 Preview w/ College Football with Sam | Football Weather
    Feb 19 2026

    Realignment chaos and playoff politics are back — and it’s officially Football Weather.

    Galen Clavio and Matt Blaszka break down Sacramento State’s surprising move to the MAC and the FBS, what it means for the future of the Group of Five, and whether schools are racing to move up before the “drawbridge” to FBS closes.

    Then the guys dive into the leaked Big Ten 24-team College Football Playoff proposal, why SEC pushback is predictable, and the deeper issue: flawed team evaluation, bad incentives, and the danger of losing meaningful September matchups.

    After the break, College Football with Sam joins the show for a wide-ranging Big Ten preview — including Indiana’s title defense, Oregon’s loaded roster, Ohio State’s brutal schedule, Michigan’s roster turnover, and sleeper teams like Iowa and Washington.

  • 🏈 North Dakota State to FBS, Nebraska’s Big Ten Bombshell & Bowl Season Shake-Up | Football Weather
    Feb 11 2026

    It’s officially offseason mode on Football Weather.

    Galen Clavio and Matt Blaszka dive into the biggest college football story of the week: North Dakota State officially moving up to FBS and joining the Mountain West. What does it mean for the Bison? For the Group of Five? And are we just rearranging deck chairs in conference realignment?

    The guys also react to explosive excerpts from a new book by former Nebraska AD Bill Moos — including revelations that Nebraska quietly explored leaving the Big Ten and returning to the Big 12. What would that have meant for conference realignment? And how different would the sport look today?

    Plus:
    • The Motor City Bowl officially shuts down
    • The financial realities facing the MAC and Mountain West
    • Why university presidents keep getting athletics wrong
    • And what alignment actually looks like when it works

    It’s a big-picture February episode — the business, the politics, and the future of college football.

  • 🏈 Ohio State Offseason Begins, NIL Reality Check & Big Picture CFB Debates | Football Weather
    Feb 4 2026

    The offseason has officially arrived — and Football Weather is back.
    Galen Clavio and Matt Blaszka are joined by Stefan Krajisnik of cleveland.com to break down Ohio State’s offseason reset, including the Buckeyes’ CFP exit, coaching changes, roster turnover, and what Ryan Day’s program is learning about the modern NIL and transfer-portal era.

    The conversation expands into a wide-ranging look at national college football storylines, from portal winners and losers to Big Ten scheduling philosophy, revenue sharing uncertainty, and why the College Football Playoff calendar still doesn’t make sense.

    It’s a thoughtful, big-picture episode focused on where the sport is headed next — and what powerhouse programs like Ohio State are doing to adapt.
