Preseason Top 30 2025/26 College Football

Another dose of sports to cure the workday boredom on another hot June day. Thankfully, the last one of the year. The last June day that is. It’ll still feel like 100 for the next 60 days or so. Turn on the A/C, find the shade, drink plenty of water, or saunter amongst the aspens at higher elevations to escape the relentless Summer that has yet to show the full force of its fiery heat across the nation.

That’s why it’s June and I’m thinking about football. Football means fall is approaching, so thinking about it, talking about it, and predicting it makes it seem like cooler temps are closer than they probably are. I’m sure opinions will alter as the season nears, but after three days of season prep, I feel confident in this list. Enjoy!

That’s the time and at this exact time–that’s the list.

It’s not random, not a coin flip, or throwing darts at a board, although those first three options may be more accurate than this and I would have a better excuse were they proven to be completely and utterly shambolic by seasons end. The unpredictable nature of College Football does allow off-the-wall, erratic, and sometimes downright irrational predictions, so operating within that framework, “Anything is Possible” as Kevin Garnett exclaimed after beating the Lakers in ’08.

Find the humor and keep on movin.’
