The College Football Teams to Get EXCITED About in 2026 | SVPod

SVP and Stanford Steve are here to give their thoughts on various CFB storylines - including the recent AP Top 25 Preseason Poll release - ahead of the season and break down some NFL preseason games. Steve thinks Indiana is too low and the Hoosiers can do it again, and there also might be some former champs who could make noise in 2026 as well in the Big Ten. Week 1 isn’t great but Week 2 is loaded, and the guys give the games they’re looking forward to most just a couple weeks out. Optimism is easy to come by this time of year… is that what makes August great? SVP brings up the compelling case of why August might be one of the better months of the year. Plus, the Orioles are in the mix, Ty Simpson looked good in his debut, Cashmere Keith displayed phenomenal composure and SVP shares more insight into his progress on CFB 27. Finally, the difficulty approaching Arizona State sorority girls, various stories on why SVP was NOT a model student, a jellyfish update, thoughts on the Jayden Daniels situation, Super Bowl predictions, and Rest In Peace Skip Bertman. | SVPod
