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.

Oh it’s been great for years we’ve have to listen to just how dominate a certain team and the SEC was.

Then NIL, transfers portal come along and the emperor has no clothes.

I’m not a fan per se with how college football works now but it’s pretty clear that certain programs were operating one way while the others were doing something different.

Add to this Kiffin was crying about “beat up they are from playing other teams in the SEC”

You must have nightmares about the SEC every night to have such Angst against them lol...The Big ten is an absolute Shit Show this year & they have zero competition, and lets not fail to mention your privileged ND who plays no one except Miami, and BYU beat your ass just to lose to a 3-3 UCF...that's got to sting & be embarrassing at best, meanwhile the SEC teams beat the shit out of each other & keep the non relevant's in the race lol You should thank us!!

Nahh it’s simply amusing.

Social media is great too, the amount of handwringing by SEC defenders is beyond anything imaginable. It’s also wied that people defend a conference. It would be the equivalent of defending the AFC west because the Chiefs have won three super bowls as of late while being a Raiders fan.
