Phil Steele's 2026 preseason poll has been released, ranking all 138 college football teams. The top spot goes to Notre Dame, who missed out on the College Football Playoff last year but returns key pieces like quarterback CJ Carr and cornerback Leonard Moore. Oregon, Georgia, Ohio State, and Texas round out the top five, with each team boasting a strong returning quarterback and a solid recruiting class. The poll also features surprises, such as Indiana at No. 6 and Oklahoma at No. 7, who both had impressive turnarounds last season. The full rankings can be found on Phil Steele's website, with media days and training camp just around the corner, signaling the start of an exciting college football season.
