The college football season is right around the corner, and it’s time to make some predictions we’re sure to be mocked for when the dust settles . The first two seasons since the Great Realignment and the expansion of the College Football Playoff have shown us that what we think we know before a season will be irrelevant by the time the dust settles.
We’ve seen the miraculous rise of a powerhouse (Indiana), the dramatic fall of others (Penn State, Clemson), and it’s anybody’s guess what is to come over the next four months.

While it's been said for decades, the NFL may truly be in its "passing era." The importance of the aerial attack in today's game is higher than ever, and the same can be said for the talent level at quarterback. Simply put, there have never been this many gifted quarterbacks in the league at the same time.  Overall, the position is much deeper than it was a year ago.


Running backs play one of the lowest valued positions in the NFL -- but they're making a comeback.  Instead of carrying the ball 30 times in a grinding offense, they're running routes from the backfield and boosting their offense on the ground and through the air.

Over the last handful of years, the tight end position has evolved into more of a mismatch weapon in the NFL than ever before...if you can find the right guy. The evolution of the position has been a lot of fun to watch, and it's really opened things up for some unique talent to shine across the league.

Wide receiver remains one of the most dynamic and scheme-shaping roles in the modern game. From versatile slot threats to dominant outside weapons, the league’s best receivers bring unique skill sets that demand defensive attention and elevate quarterback play.

33:10- 2nd Half: TOP 7 NFL WIDE RECEIVERS For 2026

The NFL is enjoying a golden era for pass rushers. The game is flooded with surefire Hall of Famers as well as young stars eyeing that distinction. If quarterback is the most important position in football, then it’s fair to argue that the one tasked with taking them to the ground on a down-by-down basis is a close second. 

Roaming the middle of the defense are the linebackers. Tough, imposing, intuitive and able to make up ground quickly—those are just some of the traits that define the league’s best at the position. Many of the top linebackers aren’t just great players, they’re also tremendous leaders who own the responsibility of wearing the green dot and calling the defensive plays to their teammates.

The pantheon of elite cornerbacks has a high barrier to entry. Outside of quarterback, there may be no harder position to play in football than cornerback.The position requires a rare combination of size, speed, fluid hips, elite reaction time and overall toughness to play it at the highest level. As the NFL’s crop of wide receivers continues to improve, it’s never been more important to have shutdown cornerbacks to defend against them. 

Modern safeties are versatile, and teams are deploying them in different parts of the field with frequency. The latest trend in the NFL is utilizing a safety with size as a "big nickel," putting them in the slot to disrupt closer to the line of scrimmage. This year's safety group features at least two dozen quality players worth consideration but not many truly elite players.

EIGHT Of The Last EIGHT NBA Champions have came from different franchises. Except for a few dark years, the finals have always featured the best two teams from the entire league putting on a show for the world. The winners of the finals automatically go into history as one of the best squads to ever step onto the court with a victory. The ranking is subjective but considers many factors, including regular-season and playoff performance, quality of postseason opponents, efficiency metrics and individual honors.
