2026 College Football Power Rankings: Which Underdog Teams Are Poised to Shake Up the Season?
There are also coaches in new places, as James Franklin is with Virginia Tech, Matt Campbell is now at Penn State, and Lane Kiffin is off to LSU. Further, some of the top non-power conference schools were gutted by the transfer portal, as players followed their coach to new power conference programs.
The landscape of college football has also changed. North Dakota State and Sacramento State jumped up from the FCS ranks to the FBS ranks. North Dakota State will be joining the Mountain West, while Sacramento State heads to the MAC. Meanwhile, the MAC also loses Northern Illinois as they move to the Mountain West. The Mountain West also adds UTEP, but loses five teams, as Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Utah State all head to the Pac-12. They will be joined by Texas State in the Pac-12 from the Sun Belt. Finally, Louisiana Tech leaves Conference USA and heads to the Sun Belt.
