College football season is here!! In this Fanatic Friday episode, Nick and Wil are breaking down everything you need to know heading into kickoff. From Texas holding the preseason No. 1 spot to Penn State’s surprising ranking, they share their bold predictions, top 25 surprises, and which unranked teams could make a run into the playoff conversation. Get ready for a deep dive into all four major conferences, sleeper picks, and a few spicy takes that might shock you.


Key Takeaways:

  • Texas claims the preseason No. 1 spot for the first time in both the coaches and AP polls.
  • Ohio State opens the season as a home underdog against Texas, the first No. 1 preseason team to face that in history.
  • Penn State’s ranking at No. 2 raises questions due to their track record in big games and loss of their top tight end.
  • Clemson’s No. 4 spot surprises both hosts, with Miami possibly overhyped in the ACC rankings.
  • Bold prediction: Alabama may finish outside the top 10 for the first time in years.
  • Special mentions include Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Kentucky, and South Carolina as possible surprise teams in their conferences.
