I'm going to remind you that several times throughout the episode. But also follow us on social media and you know check out the website as well. We've got a new website up. It's just gamedaycollective.media. That's where you can find all of our sports articles and so much more. It's a new, fresh website building it up, adding a lot more to it. We're gonna be adding some writers and things of that nature. But here today to talk about our 2026 predictions. Put them all on the line, put them all on the record, and we're gonna go through them all. these aren't preseason rankings, it's not anything like that. It's just simply who I am. Predicting is going to end up winning everything. And some of it might catch some people by surprise, and others just might be as simple as they come. But starting off with the national championship team, I think a lot of people in in media, whenever they go through these these predictions, they they kind of end with a national champion because that is the biggest, that's kind of the granddaddy of them all. I'm gonna start off with it, I'm gonna go right to it. And I'm gonna give give it to you because I think there's several teams. When you look at the AP poll or even the game day collective poll, the preseason poll that we put out, you look at at some of the top teams. You got Ohio State, Oregon, even Georgia, Notre Dame, they're all in there. And I think all of those teams, when you're predicting ahead of the season and and trying to think of which one of these teams could really win at all, I think any one of those four teams that I just listed could really be there. And I in the AP poll as well as the game day collective. preseason poll. We had Ohio State at number one, Oregon at number two. AP seemed to agree very much in line. Go check out those polls and kind of compare them. Let us know where we got it wrong. But in that that poll with with Ohio State at number one, Oregon at number two, I I think those are the top two teams when I look at the roster coming into this season. And a big part of the debate is with the AP poll is that there were zero AP voters That put a single that that voted for a single SEC team to be number one at all. which is just crazy. That's but it's been a long time since that's happened. And there's some speculation that maybe that's that's something that they're kind of teaming up against the SEC trying to take them down. I don't know about that, but I do know that whenever you look at some of the top teams right now, it does seem to be coming out of the Big Ten with Michigan, Ohio State, and Indiana winning the last three national championships. You start to look at the Big Ten with a different light. And this year I don't see it much different. I think the SEC is still the deepest conference, and we can talk about that more into depth on a on a different time on a different episode. But I do think that the Big Ten right now is showing to be the championship caliper teams right now. You've got Ohio State right now at at my number one. And a big part of why I put them at number one is because I look at the roster, I see what they return, I see what they add, I see the coaching staff and what they've got and what they've built up there in Columbus, Ohio. And I really have a lot of faith in the Ohio State Buckeys. like I said, I think you could list off any of any of those four teams with Ohio State, Oregon, Notre Dame, and Georgia. I think those are the four teams that I look at. It really feels good if I were to make a prediction and and put my prediction on the line. That those would be one of the four teams that I would pick. And and I'm going with Ohio State. There's a reason why I put them at number one. When I look at them on paper and I see what they've they bring to the the the table, I really like it. I like having Julian Saiyan and Bo Jackson in the backfield. I like having Jeremiah Smith. As well as who whoever else pops up for Ohio State, because we know that every year they're gonna have a new wide receiver pop up and just kind of surprise us. But that the I don't have any questions there on the offensive side of the ball. Now for Ohio State, they do have kind of a tough stretch where you you go on the road to Nebraska, I know. you play Oregon. I think that one is at home, but still you play Oregon. and I only bring up Nebraska just because of the the atmosphere. That could be one of those trap games. And I don't know, maybe even Nebraska's finally back. But you know, you you also play USC in that stretch. And so you've got a a string of teams. I believe they play Indiana in that stretch as well. So you've got a string of teams that could either be traps or just be that team to take you down. And then of course you've got to get over the hump that which is Michigan, your biggest rival in the sport. And so with Ohio State, there are some questions there, and I think even bigger questions on the defensive side of the ball, how they're going to r bounce back after losing so many guys. But I d I have faith in in the depth of the Ohio State Buckeyes. And so I I believe that that you know, even though they've lost seven starters to the NFL, they just seem to always reload. They they seem to get the right guys in the transfer portal. They seem to always stack the right guys up next. And so I've got a lot of faith in Ohio State. I think that Ohio State is the team to beat. and I think that they would be my lock in for national champions here in twenty twenty six. Going on to number two, I'm gonna go through all of the conference champions. and I'm gonna add in the Pac-12 as if they were still part of the Power Five, because I miss Pac-12 football. I don't know about you, but I like being able to keep the TV on late at night and fall asleep to some you know, really exciting football. and not falling asleep because of lack of excitement, but falling asleep because dang, it's already two in the morning and there's still football going on. We're just getting into the third quarter. But I'm gonna start off with the SEC, the conference that I believe is the deepest conference. and one of the toughest to really pin down this year, because I think there's kind of some weaknesses with just about every SEC team that you look at. And with Georgia, you know, they they've got some weaknesses and they're not the same powerhouse that they once were here just a few years ago, really when up before NIL or even as NIL started, because Georgia, you know, all these other teams that were really close to being on Georgia or even Alabama under Nick Saban's level, all of those teams are starting to kind of close that gap. And starting to catch up. And so I look at Georgia and I I I do think that Georgia is the team to beat in the SEC still. as long as they've got Kirby Smart there at the helm, I I I think I I trust them. you you've you return Gunnar Stockton, who I think is getting a lot of buzz coming into the season as if he's really made a lot of improvements. I think just his chemistry with the team, his understanding of the of the system and of the game and where he's at there, I I think that Georgia returns just enough to where I really I really think that they've they've got what it takes. Although you look throughout the the SEC, and I do think you have to take into consideration with what Texas brings to the table. And LSU, even with Lane Kiffin there and then got a completely new team there. And so that that's a big question mark for me. But what is Alabama gonna do? They just named Keelon Russell as their starting quarterback. Is that the right move for Alabama? And I think even Ole Miss, I mean, they still kept themselves alive in the playoffs under Pete Golding and everything. So I don't know. And I I also look, I know I'm kind of biased in this sense, but I look at Oklahoma as another team in the SEC that could really stir some things up. I think Oklahoma's one of those teams that if they were able to get away from the Texas and Georgia games back to back, I think they go on the road to Georgia and then a bye week and then they go to Dallas to face Texas and the Red River rivalry. I think if they were to come away with one of those wins, maybe not both, but maybe keep it really close to Georgia and end up beating Texas. I think Oklahoma is a sure thing to make it to the SEC championship game, or at least be in that tiebreaker of teams that could be in there. So I think that you look at the SEC. Right now, my conference champion for the SEC is gonna be Georgia. I look over at the Big Ten and you look at the top. I do think Indiana, I kind of underestimated Indiana. Then they started adding some players through the fifth-year eligibility and all this. That we weren't expecting to be on the roster originally. And they added some very key pieces, especially over on that defensive front. and you look at everything that they bring back, and even Kurt Signetti mentioned they brought back everybody that he wanted to bring back outside of maybe Alberto Mendoza. And, you know, they replace him pretty well and you build up everything else around. I like what Indiana brings to the table in the Big Ten. Oregon, one of the most stacked offenses, and you know that their defense is going to be pretty stout. with Dan Lanning at the helm. So I look at this team and I look at Oregon. I think they're another team that could win the Big Ten. but ultimately I'm gonna stick with the the national champions that I picked and the for the same reasons that I think with Julian Saiyan and Bo Jackson and Jeremiah Smith over on that offensive side of the ball, this is gonna be an Ohio State team that's gonna be a force to reckon with, especially if they can come away from that early road trip down to Austin and they can end up beating Texas the way that they did a sea a season ago. I know that was at home last year, but if they can turn that around and and And win on the road down in Austin. I think this could be really big for Ohio State. And so I'm gonna stick with Ohio State, the team that I I put my my faith in winning the national championship to win the Big Ten. So Ohio State Big Ten champs. Going over to the ACC, I look at Miami. I think this one's a really easy one. I look at Miami for the ACC because they return a lot of really key pieces and they return a lot of NFL caliper talent. and I think when you look across the ACC and really across of all of college football, I don't know an another team that's gonna have quite as stout of the of trenches as Miami has. With the offensive and defensive line, I I think Miami is gonna be one of the best trenches in all of college football, especially in the ACC. Then you you you know you mentioned Malachi Tony as well, bringing Mark Mark Fletcher back. but adding Darien Mensa to the the group there, adding him in as quarterback, we know how how mobile and how dual threat he can be and how how much of a threat that can be on the offensive side of the ball for Miami. And so I really look at this Miami team. I don't think they're going anywhere. I think that the way that they were a season ago, I think they're gonna be just as much of a threat, if not even more. because I really like what Darien Mensa brings into this offense. The more I I kinda study what that's gonna start to look like, I really think that this could be a really key piece for Miami to to really become True, true contenders for a national championship and especially in the ACC. So give me Miami for the ACC. The Big Twelve is really tough, not because I see a lot of teams that I just think are gonna be national championship contenders, but it's that just because I see a lot of teams that are gonna kind of eat each other up. And the Big Twelve has kind of always been that way where it just seems like the best teams in the Big Twelve just end up beating the best teams, the the other best teams in the Big Twelve and they they are one of those conferences that they don't really have anyone that truly stands out as the best. And you know, I I I want to look at Texas Tech and and believe that they're gonna win it again. but with with a lot of question marks at QB and and now I'm drawing a blank, but they just add add a new c quarterback that kind of going through this whole little fifth year eligibility. but you know I I I think when you look at Texas Tech and of course Will Hammond he was Named QB1. I think that might change now with with I apologies. I don't know why I'm forgetting who they just picked up, but drop it in down in the comments. but now you you you look at what Texas Tech has. The only reason why I put Texas Tech in contention in the Big 12, the biggest reason I should say, not the only reason, but the biggest reason is because I think that that defense is still going to be very stout. I think that's still gonna be a very tough defense to go through. And so Texas Tech is gonna be really tough, but ultimately I look at at the Big Twelve and I think BYU is gonna come away with it. BYU, when you look at what they had a season ago, they don't really they're not missing a whole bunch of pieces. I feel like they they they just have this tough program. and and I really like what they've been putting together over there. So give me big BYU. I I did have Texas Tech originally written down and recently changed that. So give me BYU to win the Big Twelve. I do think with another contender, a dark horse in the Big Twelve. You look at Oklahoma State. I really like what Eric Morris is bringing in there. and you know, you you look at Drew Mestamaker coming in at quarterback, he's getting a lot of hype, even hype from NFL scouts. So be careful. I think that could be a dark horse. maybe even just to make it to the Big 12 championship, but ultimately BYU to win the Big 12. Like I said, I'm gonna add the Pac-12. this one isn't tough for me at all. I think this was a pretty easy pick, but I did want to add them in there just because I'm glad that the Pac-12 is kind of at least piecing something back together to be a conference. It's not a power five conference anymore, but we're still going to talk about it. Give them a little bit of a shout out. And I'm gonna pick Boise State. I think this was a pretty easy one for me to pick, looking through the Pac 12. I think Boise State, they kind of enter this this rebuilt Pac 12 with you know an they're they're a very early favorite and a very steady favorite as well. But with quarterback Maddox Madsen coming back and everything and a lot of key pieces around there. I think they bring enough experienced starters back to the table. that they can really make some some some damage there in the pac-12. So that one's an easy one. But just out of the p the power four teams, we're gonna stick with the power four now when making this, the most confident selection that I have, it it I I look through it. I think the most confident selection I have is I'm I'm gonna go with Ohio State. The reason why I didn't the the other one that I wanted to go with was maybe the ACC and picking Miami to win the ACC. But the only reason why I don't feel confident about that is I could see Miami just dropping one in the ACC championship game, especially a game that conference championship games just don't really seem to give as much to the resume. They don't quite matter quite as much as they used to with this new 12-team format and and possibly expanding, even though I'm not a a fan of that. But that's why I didn't pick Miami as my most confident team. I'm really not confident with any of the picks there because I feel like the conferences are really stacked right there at the top when you look at the the SEC, we mentioned Georgia and Texas and Oklahoma and even LSU if you want to throw them in the mix. just because it seems like they're getting a lot of a lot of hype. but at for the for the Big Ten, you got Ohio State and Indiana and and Oregon. I think those three teams really put a a really tough match there at the top for for who could really win that conference. but ultimately I'm gonna go with Ohio State. Winning the Big Ten, I do feel Most confident in that. Most confident because they are my number one team heading into the season, preseason rankings, and also the team that I'm picking to win the national championship. Going on to the Heisman Trophy, I've seen a lot of picks going out for Heisman Trophy, and the odds have been all over the place for a lot of different a lot of different players. And y you you look at players, I think Arch Manning is one of those players that's kind of going under the radar. He comes back after. Accounting for over thirty five hundred yards last season, and and even thirty-seven touchdowns back in the twenty twenty-five s season, he he really started to turn the page and and turn the corner and finish the season really strong. If you look at what Arch Manning did there in the later part of the season, and and I'm I know he started off kind of rough against Te Ohio State. And I know he started off rough and had a rough game against Florida and Mississippi State, and he had some rough games in there. No doubt. But when you look down the stretch and and how he closed that season out, with a lot of the the the the pressure being taken off of him, I think he's a quarterback to be in contention for the Heisman. I think Darien Mensa over with Miami, I think that's a a really safe pick. I think that's one one guy that I think most people would would feel pretty safe about putting their money on. and so I do think Darien Mensa is worth mentioning in there. But I'm gonna go with CJ Carr, quarterback from Notre Dame. And and this was a really odd pick for me to put out there. But I I like CJ Carr. I liked him last season and what he brought to the table. And I I like what Notre Dame brings back into this season as well, because I I look at Notre Dame and I I look at at CJ Carr and what he did a season ago, a tw over 2,700 yards as a a freshman quarterback, 24 touchdowns in the 2025 campaign. He he kind of leads in and and one of the favorites in the bidding odds, too. And I think a big reason why is because he's He's he's not gonna have to rely so much on running back production this year, even though they are coming out saying that they're gonna be a run heavy team and they're gonna be run first team. I don't think Notre Dame's really gonna have to have to rely on the running back production as much as they have in years past. You know, with guys like Jeremiah Love in the backfield, it's really easy just to hand him the ball and let him let him go. But with CJ Carr, I think they're gonna be able to finally start to put a little bit more faith and a little bit more trust into his abilities here this year. So I really think that that he could be that that that true traditional Heisman quarterback resume that that pops out on paper. therefore I'm gonna pick CJ Carr, one one guy that I don't think a lot of people are picking, but one that I look at and I really don't think that that Notre Dame's gonna be as run heavy as they have been in years past. And so that's why I'm going with CJ Carr. Of course Julian Sayon, even Jeremiah Smith, I think can be a couple other guys that you throw in for the mix as well. But give me CJ Carr. For the Heisman Trophy. I think some other guys to mention Trinidad Chambliss, depending on what Ole Miss could do, I just don't think they're gonna have as much offensive production as they did under Lane Kiffin. But Dante Moore is another guy that you could throw in there. He had a really good season, completing nearly 72% of his passes, throwing for over 3,500 yards as well. So another guy that that could be there. and I I think that Josh Hoover, if Indiana ends up doing a similar to what they did a season ago, I think he's another guy that would be in there. John Mateir From Oklahoma is another another quarterback that you could throw into the mix as well. and if Lane Kiffin can get LSU up and they're they're a really good team, I think Sam Levitt could be another guy to look at for the Heisman as well. But CJ Carr is my pick there for the Heisman. Breakout team in 2026. I I look at a lot of different teams and I think that, you know, it this is really depending on what you want to call a breakout team, what you consider a breakout team. And I I'm interested to hear. your opinion on on who you think could be a breakout team in twenty twenty six. But I look at at teams like Florida and the reason why I think they could be a breakout, not that I think that they're gonna be a true contender in the SEC or a national championship contender or anything like that. But I do think that Florida with as bad as they have been, how quickly will they turn around? Will they be a a bull eligible plus team? Are they going to be able to win maybe eight games and and really shock some people of how good they really look under the first year under under John Summer? So I think they're a contender. I think USC is another one that I look at that I think could be a a a team that that could kind of have a little bit of a breakout in the sense that, you know, they just never have had that that defense to really help push them over the mark. But with with returning Jaden Maiava and so much production over there on the offensive side of the ball, and then on top of that, bringing in Gary Patterson to try to help with that defense, are they gonna finally have enough defense to be a breakout team? I think USC is definitely a team that. That could be a breakout. Virginia Tech being another team, a team that we don't ever really talk about until James Franklin shows onto the the scene because he gets fired, I think most people would agree, a little too early from Penn State. And now you start to look at him and wonder, okay, what's what's he gonna do here at Virginia Tech? Is he gonna be the same James Franklin that was able to make Vanderbilt a a surprise team and and and bring Penn State to to really, really close, being bringing them to the the playoffs and and doing so much there. So they're another team. but I look at Oklahoma State. I think Oklahoma State will be my breakout team here in 2026. I I really like what Eric Morris brings with him, bringing Drew Mestemaker with him over there from North Texas, who led the FBS and passing yards last season as well. It was through for over four 4,300 passing yards, which is absolutely insane. So looking at at with this Oklahoma State team and and what they could piece together, they don't have to do much to be better than what they were. the last few seasons and and looking at what they were under Mike Gundy and they just really started to fall off the face of of the planet. and and I think that they're gonna really be able to turn things around and and be a a much bigger force to reckon be reckoned with in the Big Twelve. Like I mentioned, I think that could be a dark horse team to maybe not win the Big Twelve but be in contention for it or even make the Big Twelve championship game. I think that that big that Oklahoma State could compete in the Big Twelve under Eric Morris and what he brings with him over from North Texas. So give me Oklahoma State for my breakout team here in 2026. All right, now breakout players. Who could be a breakout player? there's a lot of guys when I looked at at guys that maybe just didn't get as much production, maybe they didn't get as much playtime from a season ago, I looked through a lot of different guys. I I think you look at Devin Sanchez, a cornerback from Ohio State with the opportunity to do even more than what he did a season ago. I think he's gonna get more snaps this season. but just as a as a freshman, he recorded 409 snaps, 15 tackles, two pass break breakups, a fumble recovery. And so I think that's a guy that could bounce out and and have a bigger year. also looking over at Michigan and and JJ McKean and a wide receiver who transferred in from Utah and and I think him coming over to this system, I think he could really shine. That's another guy that I was looking at. But ultimately I look at Danny Okoye. Danny Okoye from Oklahoma. he's he's an edge from Oklahoma and he's only he only recorded a couple sacks a season ago from just kind of that that situational role or even just as a depth piece there and that stacked Oklahoma defensive line. But I look at at the the defense that Brent Venables brings and adding a guy like Danny Okoye, I think he's gonna be really dangerous. I think he's gonna have his name called a bunch, and I I think that that he's he's kind of generated a lot of attention coming into this season because of The type of player that he is, can he finally give that production with more of an opportunity to be on the field more than just that situational or depth piece? So give me Danny Okoye, edge defender from Oklahoma, as my breakout player of 2026. Going into the sixth category, going to the best defense. this was a very tough one. and looking across, there are some really good defenses. I think you always have to mention defenses like what Marcus Freeman has over at Notre Dame or even what Texas Tech has. I think Texas Tech is going to be another defense that that is it really stands out. And and y y they return so much of a a a collection of of transfer production and production that they had from a season ago that I think Texas Tech could be another really tough defense. And of course Texas another defense to throw into the mix as well. I think that this is a a defense that that you you think of the game changing talent that that that the the most valuable defensive positions that they have, I think that they they rank up there towards the top in the nation when you just look at a breakdown of different key roles. And I think that they've got a guy that stands out across the entire nation. I think bringing in the Pittsburgh transfer that they got out of Rasheem Biles. so I I think you you look at what Texas brings, they're gonna be a tough as well. But I I I had to go to just the best defensive mind in college football. And again, The Oklahoma Sooners looking over at at that Brett Venobo's defense. This is one of those that I think could be categorized, categorized several different ways. Maybe they're the best defense because of XYZ. And you can choose what you want to go by. But I just think best overall defense, the most rounded defense. I'm gonna go with the Oklahoma Sooners. I think what they bring in and and bringing back some front seven players, maybe some guys that have been hungry and wanting more. You know, you think of Danny Okoye that I mentioned a moment ago, PJ Adibuore. and David Stone, Jaden Jackson there in the middle. You bring back Taylor Wine, you know, and Owen Heineke after all the the fuss that they had to go through to bring him back. So I really like this Oklahoma defense and what they bring back. I I just don't know how you can pick against a Brent Venables defense, especially when he's finally got all his guys sitting in that system now. Now the best offense in 2026. this was very tough for me. I think you could look across a lot of different offenses. We've mentioned Ohio State earlier. And and how tough of an offense they're gonna have. I think Texas poses a fr a threat for a a really good offense. You look at Miami and what they bring with Darien Mensa and Malachi Tony and and Mark Fletcher, you see what they bring. They've got another one that's that's really high up there. And I think even Ole Miss bringing back a lot of production from a season ago and and seeing what they've got with Trinidad Chambliss Kawan Lacey. And so I think that they're another team. Lane Kiffin's always got a really high powered offense down there. going over to LSU and bringing in a lot of guys from the transfer portal. So another team that could be mentioned, but I'm gonna go with the Oregon Ducks. I look at what they've got, bringing back Dante Moore, who produced 3,500 passing yards, 30 touchdowns from a season ago, extremely accurate, extremely efficient. one of the the best well-rounded quarterbacks coming into this season. So I really like Oregon. I like what they have up front, I like their quarterback situation. I think that they're always going to have enough talent on the outside and enough weapons over there on offense. So give me the Oregon Ducks for the best offense in college football in 2026. All right, going to the biggest disappointment. And this one is really hard for me because I love Indiana. I love Kurt Signetti, but I I'm I'm jumping straight to it. I think I look at Indiana and I think a lot of people are just kind of. Giving Indiana the pass. So last season I was one of the few that when I would make picks across college football, I was one of the few that kept on putting a lot of faith in Indiana. And so I'm I I love Indiana. I grew up in southern Indiana for a lot of my my childhood. I went to a lot of Indiana games. I I love Indiana. I do think they're gonna be a very good team this year. And so I had a hard time putting them in here as my biggest disappointment, but I think A lot of people are just assuming that, you know, you can't disrespect Kurt Signetti, which I don't. I don't disrespect him. I don't respect the Indiana Hoosiers. I think that they've just got a few games on there that they could fall victim to. And that they're gonna have some tough teams that they're gonna have to go through with Ohio State and going through th that Big Ten. And so I think that there's a couple of games that that they could fall and and and fall down to where they ended up only a ten-win team, nine-win team and barely missing the playoffs. Something along those lines. And I think if they're a nine-win team missing the playoffs, that's got to be one of the biggest disappointments because I think a lot of people are just kind of penciling them in because they're they're too scared to d disrespect the Indiana Hoosiers after what they did to a lot of people's predictions a season ago. And you know, the more that I I thought about this prediction after after marking it down, I felt like, man, I don't know. I I think they are gonna make the playoffs. And so my overall prediction, I do think that they're gonna make the playoffs. But even if they barely make the playoffs or let's say that they only win nine games, that's still a really good season for the Indiana Hoosiers. Still a solid season. Disappointing, though. Very disappointing after coming after off of a 16-0 season, one of the greatest stories, really the greatest story in sports history. And you know, so I'm gonna pick Indiana. What if the former TCU quarterback Josh Hoover doesn't work out? What if you know, losing some of the pieces, the key pieces that you lost, like Elijah Surratt and Fernando Mendoza. What if that's just not you know, that that brings too much of of troubles on the offensive side of the ball to be able to come out and to to really secure a win here and there. You know, if you think of times like the Penn State game where they really needed the the the offense to move the ball, it was those guys that did it. And so I'm I'm gonna pick them as my biggest disappointment. And it's probably the biggest disappointment of my selections on this list. I'll ramble through them real quick one more time. National champions, the Ohio State Buckeyes. Also the most confident conference conference winners, conference champions, the Ohio State Buckeyes as well. My Heisman Trophy winner, CJ Carr, the quarterback out of Notre Dame breakout team is going to be the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Maybe winning eight or nine games. Who knows? Maybe, maybe winning 10, 10 games, making it to the Big 12 championship game, and really surprising the nation under their first year there under Eric Morris. Breakout player, I'm gonna pick Danny Okoya, the Edge from the Oklahoma Sooners, as well as the best defense being the Oklahoma Sooners, best offense, Oregon Ducks. And biggest disappointment, me for picking the Indiana Hoosiers. But ultimately, we want to hear from you.
