It's easy to find top 10 lists for returning quarterbacks and top 10 lists for returning running backs. But so far we haven't seen anyone put together a top 10 list of quarterback/running back duos. Here is our list of what we think will be the best QB/RB combos coming into the 2026 college football season. In some cases it's the same group returning for another year to the same school. In some cases it's the same pair who transferred to another school, and in some cases either the QB or the RB is a transfer. In all cases we think these are going to be the most dynamic duos in college for 2026.here are our lists:Barbans List:1.Ole Miss - Trinidad Chambliss/Kewan Lacy2. Oklahoma State - Drew Mestemaker/Caleb Hawkins3. BYU - Bear Bachmeier/LJ Martin4. Georgia - Gunner Stockton/Nate Frazier/Chauncey Bowens5. Oregon - Dante Moore/Jordan Davison/Dierre Hill6.

Brendan Sorsby was awarded an injunction that effectively allows him to play for Texas Tech for the 2026 season. The NCAA will attempt to appeal the ruling, but at this point it seems like the NCAA is a toothless tiger and utterly impotent. Agree or disagree with the ruling, this makes Texas Tech must watch TV for 2026. Fans of any team in college will have a reason to tune into a Texas Tech game to see if justice is being served or if Tech and Sorsby are 'getting away with it' so to speak.This could also be a sign that we are in a new world where gambling and betting on your own team is no longer the deal breaker it used to be. Perhaps we are crossing into a world where you need to be proven to have actually fixed a game to be punished. At this point the NCAA seems like a relic that has no authority and a new system needs to be put in place.

Aaron Rodgers is back for what he says will be his final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is a catch 22 for Steelers fans because Rodgers is better than any other quarterback on the team, but likely not good enough to get to a Super Bowl. This leaves them in a familiar position of finishing with a middle of the pack first round draft pick in 2027 which will likely leave them on the outside looking in for their next franchise QB.

In today's episode we discuss the Brendan Sorsby situation with Texas Tech and what the possible outcomes are in the coming months. He has hired attorney Jeffrey Kessler who has multiple recent wins against the NCAA and also represented high profile NFL players. NIL makes this case much less clear than previous gambling cases with the NCAA. If he were to stay in college and be eligible to play, Texas Tech should be the favorite to win the BIG 12. If he is denied eligibility, Sorsby could go to the NFL supplemental draft in July where teams can bid on him. If this happens, Sorsby could be on an NFL roster competing for a spot in September.

It's painful waiting for the next season of NFL and college football to start. The NFL draft at least provides a bit of entertainment. In today's episode we at least try to come up with something interesting to talk about from the results of the first round. Just like every other draft, it's all just speculation and guessing. Nobody will know if any of these picks were the 'right' pick until we see them playing on Sundays.

Dexter Lawrence demanding a trade is the only thing worth talking about right now in a weak NFL off season news cycle this week. Despite a lower than normal sack and tackle total last year, Sexy Dexy is still an elite defensive tackle, and most of the NFL would love to have him on their roster. We chat about where he could go if the Giants do give him what he wants to retain his services.

In this episode of Saturday vs Sunday we discuss the Raiders signing Cousins and how that seems to be a clear sign they will be drafting Fernando Mendoza #1 overall. Cousins seems like a great fit for both the week 1 starter and a mentor to Mendoza. Regardless of what happens, the Raiders will be a very interesting team to watch in 2026. We also discuss Geno Smith returning to the New York Jets and what the Jets fans must think of yet another placeholder, and the 49ers playing the Rams in Australia week one.

March Madness bracket is set. Today we discuss which schools have a realistic shot and competing for a national championship in both basketball and football. This used to be a very short list, but NIL may be changing the landscape and opening the door to many more school having a legitimate shot and winning it all in both basketball and football.

NFL free agency is in full swing with some big moves, most notably Maxx Crosby to the Ravens. Does this make the Ravens a legit Super Bowl contender? We go for a browse around the league chatting about the noteworthy moves that are making headlines for better or worse including:Maxx Crosby to the Ravens - Already cancelled due to medical exam.Mike Evans to the 49ersTua Tagovailoa to the FalconsRomeo Doubs to the PatriotsKenneth Walker to the ChiefsMalik Willis to the Dolphins And many more.

The Seattle Seahawks defense completely owned the Patriots in a no contest Super Bowl. The Patriots had less than 100 yards of offense by the end of the third quarter. The Seahawks defense dubbed 'The Dark Side' forced three turnovers including a pick six that was more of a forced fumbled picked out of the air for a touchdown. New England had no answer for what the Seattle defense was doing which spoiled a good performance for their own defense.Sam Darnold wins the Super Bowl starting on his 5th team and has completely changed the narrative about the quarter back position in the NFL. In what now is a twist of irony, it was Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell that was quoted as saying "Organizations fail young quarterbacks before quarterbacks fail organizations". Seattle opens as the better favorite to return to the Super Bowl. If they can keep this defense together for a few years there is every reason to think they can go on another run and win it all again. As for New England, it was an unbelievable turn around from a 4-13 season to 14-3 and a super bowl appearance. For as much as Drake Maye struggled in this game, he is only in his second year and finished runner up in MVP voting. The future is very bright for the Patriots.
