TRENDING: Oregon might have by far the BEST defense in the country going into the 2026 season… 🤯
This is what they are working with:
EDGE: Matayo Uiagalelei (projected 2027 1st round pick)
DT: A’Mauri Washington (projected 2027 1st round pick)
DT: Bear Alexander
EDGE: Teitum Tuioti
LB: Jerry Mixon
LB: Devon Jackson
CB: Brandon Finney Jr (freshman All-American)
CB: Ify Obidegwu
CB: Davon Benjamin / Na’eem Offord / Dorian Brew (all former 5 stars)
S: Koi Perich (preseason All-American)
S: Aaron Flowers
This defense is absolutely loaded with talent and has very good depth, which is rare in today’s day. It’s definitely going to be scary, as that defensive line is experienced, with many opting to come back to school instead of declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft.
I’m very excited to see what they can do. Thoughts? 💭
Here's how we will crown a national champion January 1st while saving bowl season and fixing the recruiting/portal calendar issue

Notre Dame was ranked over Miami in EVERY. SINGLE. EDITION. of the College Football Playoff rankings.
Since the first CFP poll dropped, ND beat:
• Navy 49-10
• No. 22 Pitt 37-15
• Syracuse 70-7
• Stanford 49-20
Neither Miami nor ND played this weekend, and Miami’s conference champion is 8-5 Duke.
Just a slap in the face to Notre Dame.

The harsh reality is Bama fans are not used to other teams having good players in this era of football.
Talent is more evenly distributed than it was in the apex of the Saban era.
What are y’all’s thoughts on our S&C coordinator David Ballou? Personally, I think he’s too much science and not enough real strength and conditioning. “Sports science” should only be about 20% of your overall program in my opinion. I think he should be gone yesterday.
