The best jobs in college football have changed dramatically in the NIL and transfer portal era. Money, leadership, recruiting power, playoff access and conference affiliation matter more than ever, and some traditional powers are no longer automatic top-10 programs.
In this video, I rank the top 10 college football jobs in 2026. Ohio State, LSU, Texas, Notre Dame and Georgia all make strong cases near the top of the list. But the biggest surprises may be further down the rankings: Texas Tech has officially become a top-10 job in the NIL era, Miami is rising quickly, and Alabama and Oklahoma both miss the cut.
Can a Big 12 program really be a better job than Alabama? Is Notre Dame now a top-five destination because of Marcus Freeman and its path to the College Football Playoff? Should LSU rank ahead of Texas? And is there any legitimate argument against Ohio State at No. 1?
Let me know where I got it right and where I got it completely wrong.
