Inside the Secret Behind SIAC Commissioner’s Game-Changing HBCU Football Poll Shakeup

So here’s a question that might get you thinking: What happens when four powerhouse HBCU conferences decide to stop competing off the field and start collaborating on one unified football poll? Well, it turns out, magic—or at least something close to it—because the SWAC, MEAC, CIAA, and SIAC commissioners just pulled off a major play. Enter the Black College Football Poll, a long-awaited project years in the making, designed to finally give HBCU players and teams the recognition and spotlight they’ve more than earned. Dr. Anthony Holloman, SIAC’s commissioner, didn’t just throw out some catchphrases; he made it clear this poll is about controlling the narrative—about uniting to elevate the game and the institutions behind it. Starting fall 2026, imagine weekly rankings, fierce debates powered by media and coaches alike—think the HBCU gridiron now has its own pulse, its own voice. And, oh yeah, we’re talking about awards too—Coach of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year—you name it, all wrapped in a collaborative effort that respects both Division I and II. It’s a fresh chapter, a calculated move to grow and unite, ensuring nobody misses the brilliance on these fields. Curious to see how this shapes the future? You’d better be. LEARN MORE
