2026 SEC Preview: Win Totals, Championship Picks, and Dark Horses
Conference preview season wraps up with the big one. Jacob and Daniel dig into the SEC, starting with the burning question: can the conference get back to winning national championships after three years without one? They break down the new nine game SEC schedule and what it means for the playoff picture, then go team by team through the top storylines before hitting over/unders on all 16 teams. They debate the gap between the SEC's tier one and the Big Ten's, discuss which teams are playoff caliber, and argue about who has the best shot at knocking off Georgia.

Oregon's Uniform Evolution: How the Oregon Ducks Changed College Football Uniforms Forever
No program has changed college football uniforms more than the Oregon Ducks. But how did it all start? Jacob and Daniel sit down with Rick Bakas, the Nike team sports designer who led Oregon's landmark uniform redesign in 1999 and created the iconic Oregon "O" logo, to hear the story firsthand. Rick walks them through how a car show paint job inspired a new look, how the Broncos redesign set the stage, and how a simple oval made from two stadium outlines became one of the most recognizable logos in college football. Then Jacob and Daniel take it visual, breaking down all 12 Oregon uniform templates from 1999 to today, from the Mallards and Thunder and Lightning to the Diamond Plates, Wings era, and the current Generation O redesign. They share their favorite combos, debate the best looks Oregon has ever put on the field, and reflect on how one school's willingness to be bold forever changed the way college football teams dress. This one is best watched on YouTube, so pull up the Extra Point Pod channel and follow along.Follow Daniel on X: https://x.com/DeepSouthDanielFollow Jacob on X: https://x.com/jacobkarnesSubscribe to The Extra Point on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCalGwyunlQPiiEfiAiZPx9QFollow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theextrapointpod/Follow and Subscribe to The Extra Point on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.Website: theextrapointpod.com
