It's time for The Sportists to dust off the crystal ball and look ahead with the 2026 prediction episode.

Before charging ahead, the team looks back at the predictions for 2025 - the good, bad and ugly. Some were spot-on (thank you, Cleveland bullpen). Others...not so much.

College football playoffs charge ahead and we ask the traditional question, can anyone stop Indiana? Well, it's a new tradition. Oregon is low on running backs and my have to resort to a four-star option.

Ratings are up for bowl games despite portal madness. Iowa State had 14 players on their football roster at one point - barely more than the basketball team! And Mizzou gains a quarterback, but loses their entire defense. Are we cheering for laundry?

Massive change isn't limited to the NCAA ranks - the Eastern Kansas Chiefs are facing a significant roster turnover. Perhaps this is for the best since they may be a solid third in the AFC West.

The gang takes their weekly visit to Blue Horseshoe's corner before moving to with 15 sports predictions for 2026. All of this and how not to prepare Uncrustables on this week's action-packed episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.
