College Football Thread - 2026

[Willmark]

It’s that time of year for us to dog fight about who’s college team is better.

Best way to start it out IMO is with the preseason coaches poll that just dropped:

Preseason Coaches Poll
1.Ohio State
2.Oregon
3.Georgia
4.Texas
5.Notre Dame
6.Indiana
7.Miami
8.Texas A&M
9.Oklahoma
10.Ole Miss
11.Alabama
12.Texas Tech
13.LSU
14.USC
15.BYU
16.Michigan
17.Penn State
18.Tennessee
19.Washington
20.SMU
21.Utah
22.Iowa
23.Clemson
24.Houston
25.Missouri

We all know who are backing after that last few years but the 2026 season is almost upon us.

For my own part, this year is special I’m attending my first home game ever at ND on 9/12.

Well written and thought out:

Every single year. "Wait until next season its the greatest QB class ever"

I wonder in this new age of CFB parity if it is going to make it harder for QB's to excel and will NFL teams be better off measuring because of it? QB is great in college with a loaded team < QB did great against more equal competition.

I would think it would be easier to judge them. Just a few independent schools play 2 games and 8 patsys. A lot more good games to judge them by

Ohio State is done. Fahey is too small and not up to the task,IMO.

Yeah, I don't know.

QB has the most scrutiny out any position in football, maybe in all of sports too.

Its not from lack of analyzing these guys that they fail. Its that were dealing with human beings. And human beings have all sorts of factors besides measureables. More spot light on them doesn't change that IMO.

Yeah without Sayin its a tough task, their bye came at a good time, might see both Fahey or St. Clair in the game if one or the other struggles

This is what happens when you put a Big 12 BYU team #2 they lose the next week to a 3-3 UCF...what a pathetic Joke!!!!

No dominant team in CFL, playoffs will be wide open.

[raider_kin]

Go Badgers!!

[DanKD]

Too bad Malachi Toney isnt draft eligible yet

[Reno Hightower]

Parity was the objective of all of this nonsense. We are starting to see why a few programs were dominant in the past and why they are now mere mortals.

There is a reason Saban got out…he couldn’t have five stars backing up half of the positions anymore..

Gonna be chaos with a 24 team playoff format next year

Toney is a beast, also Jesse Legree
