Both Texas and Oregon will disappoint. Indiana will be a better team this year than last.

Your Hot Takes for the 2026 Season
- Thread starter suffocation_
- Start date
Dylan will start at some point and look really good.
Texas will have 5 first round picks.
We win a game we aren't supposed to.

Rhule beats an interim head coach and gets another extension.
Iowa wins 6-7 games and Ferentz retires. UNC wins 9 games. Miami is mid. Oregon is average. Texas Tech wins it all :/
Bill steps away from Chapel Hill before the end of the season.
Miami, Ole Miss, and Michigan are all going to be fascinating to watch in that all 3 I could see winning anywhere from 6 games to 11 games.
Nebraska WON’T make the playoffs this year
Most of the questionable coaches are in the first 5 games. I assume Rutgers likes Schiano. But this is the Big Ten. Never know when somebody might have utter moral failure.
James Franklin wins 9 games at Virginia Tech.
Thats what everybody is expecting. Thats why mine was a hot take lol
What makes you think Indiana will be better than last year?
Indiana will not win the CFP national title.
LSU and Cleveland Browns switch places and nobody notices.
Scott Frost, having flashbacks to 2019, watches his UCF team blow a 17 point first half lead in Boulder and lose to CU in overtime in UCF's Big 12 season finale on 11/28, finishing with another losing conference record. He quits UCF following the season saying "I took the wrong job again" and goes back to his old job as OC at Oregon where he was last "truly happy." Frost brings in Mario Verduzco as QB coach with visions that they can turn Dylan Raiola into the next Adrian Martinez. The plan unravels when the Ducks come to Lincoln in 2027 and the Huskers kick their *** and purge a decade worth of demons out of the program in one game. Dannen has a statue of Matt Rhule erected outside Memorial Stadium and gives him a lifetime contract extension the next week.

Quinn Clark has a 900 yard receiving season.
Dylan Raiola starts >4 games for Oregon.
Iowa loses to a gutted Iowa State program.
Georgia wins the Natty.
Nebraska beats Ohio State and Iowa in November. Maybe. (probably not)

13 returning starters of a national championship team, reloading with a top transfer portal class that includes the best QB Cignetti has had to work with.
Just pattern recognition on how Cignetti has elevated talent.
That means we'd beat 2 out of 4 in Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, and Illinois which i'm taking in a heartbeat.
I think they’ll be phenomenal…but so tough to be better than last year IMO.
That’s why it’s a hot take though!
I hope they just keep winning...it is nice to see all of the huge annoying fan bases complain about how their coaches can't be as good as Indiana and Cignetti. Maybe kind of break this agent/coach cartel that is saddling programs with overrated coaches on huge salaries with irresponsible buyouts. And no, it isn't "the market", it is a charity scam. If each team was owned by an owner there would be zero chance that these buyouts and huge salaries would happen. The average NFL coach makes 6 million with no buyout...Matt EFFIN RHULE makes 13 million after NIL and has 70 million to go in buyout...wtf.
If you can win by hiring kind of a normal guy, to a semi-normal salary and expect him to be a good leader...it might stop people from hiring all of the psychos that abound today.
Seriously though, how awesome is it that Cignetti is essentially the Aatami Korpi of college football(Sisu reference, and if you haven’t watched the movie, I don’t know what to say about you).
People who wanted to know, knew exactly who he was. Others found out, and fast.

Notre Dame runs the table as the only undefeated team with their pathetic schedule.
Then as the #1 seed, they lose to #9 seed Texas 27-13 in the Quarterfinals held at the Rose Bowl. Texas sneaks in after a disappointing 9-3 season and they beat #8 seeded Oklahoma in a revenge game in the first round.

My wife suddenly reverses course and finds my screaming "F ck" at every Husker blunder irresistible. She tells me to drink more and prepare for sexy time immediately following the game!
Really hard to imagine an AD making so few public appearances and becoming so unlikable that it will be a celebratory day when he leaves.
Both in the first 3 games.
Expect Rule to contribute big time through out the year.
Yep and it will an NFL guy that thinks he has a right to come back and play in the BIG or the SEC.
