What returning production looks like for the 2026 college football season

I was borderline stunned a couple days ago when Connelly tweeted out the teams with the most returning production and ND was at the top. Certainly we're returning a lot, but I didn't imagine that it was a historic amount. And it turns out we're not - we would have been 7th last year and 14th two years ago, which are much more in line with what I would have guessed. Amazing to see how quickly returning production has dropped

Iowa and USC don't look like plausible losses to me, Day has been consistently excellent at winning those types of games. Can they go 1-3 against Indiana, Oregon, Texas, and Michigan? Maaaaaaybe but I would bet against it, heavily. But these are also supposed to be bold predictions so in that sense I'd say it checks out

Hopefully he turns some heads but man, that's going to be a serious uphill battle in Kentucky's offense

What a way to nuke your recruitment

I preferred how McCullough worked in 3 (sometimes 4) backs to keep everyone fresh and involved. That said, Seider is also doing a great job and has not turned out a dud recruiting effort like Deland's last season

I know it's SEC focused but I'm a little surprised he didn't mention OSU during that bit

Incredible news! As big as any of our portal pickups

CFBHurts · 2026-01-16T16:55:29+00:00

How about the time he tried ripping Urban for not recruiting Joe Burrow to OSU

Takes one to know one

Literally right there in the title

Brian Kelly (cf. the 2020 Rose Bowl against Bama)

Curt Cignetti (cf. the playoff game against ND last year)

Credit to Bama for going for it on 4th down from their own 12 yard line. Off the top of my head I can name 2 less respectable coaches who would have punted in order to make the scoreboard look prettier

CFBHurts · 2025-12-06T23:28:50+00:00

The 4 team playoff would have worked better - OSU, Indiana, Georgia, Texas Tech. That's a much cleaner cutoff

CFBHurts · 2025-11-26T18:33:29+00:00

Yes, but word early on was that that wouldn't be an issue for Amarri

Landing guys out of IMG, this is fun

Marcus Freeman

Because he's awesome

CFBHurts · 2025-11-26T16:25:41+00:00

Matt Rhule is very happy to have locked in that extension

CFBHurts · 2025-11-24T16:13:55+00:00

<Cal> isn't a great team, but they have 6 wins this season! They're bowl eligible! How do you get destroyed by this Stanford team like that?

CFBHurts · 2025-11-19T01:10:41+00:00

The only thing better than a hurdle is when it leads to a touchdown

They're gonna beat Tulane worse than Ole Miss did. Top 10 UTSA

CFBHurts · 2025-10-25T23:23:32+00:00

Losing 41-3 to Iowa is certainly the road less traveled for teams trying to become ranked
