2026 CFB Top 771

[ST_Lawson]

There's a guy who does a ranking of every college football team in the NCAA, NAIA, and others and puts it together in a spreadsheet from Ohio State down to Marine Maritime. For reference, we're at #252, in with mostly lower FCS and fairly decent D2 teams, although ahead of us are D3 North Central (IL) and Mount Union, and NAIA Grand View (Iowa).
