UNDERRATED: Indiana Hoosiers, Curt Cignetti FACE AP Poll Slap–Big 10, ACC Teams That Win 10+Games

from Locked On College Football · host Locked On Podcast Network

The AP Poll was officially released, with reigning champion Indiana selected at #6 going into this season. Which team(s) in the top 10 are most likely to end the season unranked, as happens every year? On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses Ohio State's most likely 2026 record. For the Buckeyes to go "under" their win total they would have to do something they've done just 4 times this century. SMU has a chance led by QB Kevin Jennings to be one of the darkhorse Playoff threats in the ACC. Does the schedule shape up for Rhett Lashlee's team to get back to the ACC Championship Game?
