This isn't your average college football ranking.
My Ultimate 136 is a set of rankings that is fluid, but it's my job to look ahead and make a claim for all FBS teams based on what I know and why I know it. Here are the three pressing questions I started by asking when putting together this list:
Who do I think is good?
Why do I think they're good?
What are the chances they will finish above or below my expectations?
Here is a look at where Kennesaw State lands in my Ultimate 136.
Kennesaw State ranking: 130
Last year's ranking: 133
Top player: DB JeRico Washington Jr.: Started all 12 games as a redshirt freshman last season, leading the team in interceptions (2) and forced fumbles (3); finished second on the team in pass breakups (6).
[Kennesaw State's 2025 schedule]
RJ's take: College football is so brutal that the only head coach Kennesaw State had in its history, Brian Bohannon, got fired after a poor Year 1 in FBS.
In walks former NC Central coach Jerry Mack with the task of making the Owls into a program that can finish in the middle of one of the worst conferences in the sport (C-USA). The job is tough. The schedule is mean, and the administration has the attention span of a newborn puppy. Good luck, Jerry.

Tradition Meets Transition: The Rocky Road for College Football's Biggest Brands
College Football Tradition Meets Transition: The Rocky Road for College Football's Biggest Brands Updated Aug. 11, 2025 8:21 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link The impact of conference realignment over the past 15 years could easily fill several volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica. But as college football continues to evolve at a rapid pace, some of the sport's most recognizable programs are showing signs of strain after switching leagues. Since the early 1970s, Oklahoma, USC, Alabama, Ohio State and Nebraska have been standard-bearers for excellence in the sport. The three that have changed conferences since 2011 — Oklahoma, USC and Nebraska — have struggled to regain their footing since making the move. Neither USC nor Nebraska appeared in this season's AP Top 25 or Coaches Poll. Oklahoma was ranked No. 18 in Monday's AP preseason poll (No. 10 in my "Ultimate 136") but was left out of the Coaches Poll for the first time since 1999. That means 62 FBS coaches came to the conclusion that none of these blue-blood programs are among the 25 best — something that would have felt unthinkable just 15 years ago. [ Check out RJ Young's Ultimate 136 College Football Rankings here ] Since 1950, Alabama has won 14 (claimed) national titles and seen four players win the Heisman Memorial Trophy; USC has won seven national titles and been home to eight Heisman winners; Ohio State has won eight national titles, produced six Heisman winners, and is home to the only two-time Heisman winner in the history of the sport; Nebraska has won five national titles and counts three Heisman winners. ADVERTISEMENT Two of those programs — Ohio State and Alabama—have remained members of their respective leagues, the Big Ten and SEC, for over a century. And their decision not to change conferences or even venture toward independence has paid dividends in this new era of college football where we've seen the collapse of the Pac-12 Conference, the expansion of the Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Big 12, and 49 programs changing their conference allegiance. Nebraska's move to the Big Ten hasn't lived up to Huskers fans' standards, with just one 10-win season and eight losing seasons as a conference member. It's a stark contrast from the Huskers' Big 8 and Big 12 years, where, when paired with Oklahoma in the same league, Nebraska could be counted on to win at least nine games and a national title every eight years from 1962 to 2002. USC's first season in the Big Ten began with it ranked inside the top 25 and ended with a rather deflating 7-6 record. While the program had been slipping — everything is downhill when you win 11 or more games for six straight years from 2002 to 2008 and two national titles — not enough media members or coaches believe Lincoln Riley has done enough to warrant inclusion into the preseason top 25. Oklahoma's first season in the SEC began with it ranked inside the top 20 and ended with just the second losing season in Norman since 1998. What's more is, the Sooners have won 10 or more games 18 times from 2000 to 2021. For Brent Venables, who is responsible for the only two losing seasons Oklahoma has suffered in the 21st century, this season could not be more important. If Oklahoma in the SEC feels a lot like Lewis Hamilton's move from Mercedes to Ferrari, that's because it is. Both can't figure out how to win in the new digs, and both are searching for an identity that was once as sturdy as a 1,0000-year-old tree. Among the three aforementioned teams, Oklahoma is not only the program with the biggest target on its back, but also the one with the toughest schedule: No. 1 Texas, No. 8 Alabama, No. 9 LSU, No. 13 South Carolina, No. 14 Michigan, No. 21 Ole Miss and No. 24 Tennessee are lined up and ready to pour it all on OU. When the Sooners announced their move to the SEC, most Oklahoma fans celebrated. The athletic department even threw an "SEC Day" to commemorate the move because, well, the grass must just be greener in the SEC. It turns out that even if it's green — mo' money, mo' money, mo' — it still has to get cut. And, so far, Oklahoma can't get it done. Nebraska, a program that reached its first bowl game in eight years last season, the longest bowl brought in program history, is also trying to climb back up the mountain it once ruled with a fan base as rabid and switched on as any. Rather than learn from Nebraska, Oklahoma and USC might come to find out they should've paid closer attention. Know your roots. Respect them. And if you cut them off, don't be surprised if you start to fall. RJ Young is a national college football writer and analyst for FOX Sports. Follow him at @RJ_Young .

Which 10 Players Have The Most Sacks per Game in FBS History?
College Football Which 10 Players Have The Most Sacks per Game in FBS History? Published Aug. 11, 2025 7:01 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Getting to the quarterback is the name of the game if you're an edge rusher, but only so many players can be elite at doing that. The easiest way to determine the best pass rushers in college football history is to look at who finished with the most sacks, but we took another angle: which players logged the most sacks per game? Some of the players on this list might surprise you, while others were a slam-dunk pick for the NFL. That said, here's a look at the 10 players who recorded the most sacks per game in FBS history (minimum 20.0 career sacks). 10 Players With The Most Sacks per Game in FBS History Bruce Irvin (right) helped West Virginia win the Orange Bowl during his time there. (Photo by) Before the Seattle Seahawks drafted him with the 15th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Irvin was a dominant player at West Virginia. He was second in the nation in sacks in his first year with the Mountaineers, logging 14 in 2010 after a 16-sack season at Butler Community College the year prior. ADVERTISEMENT T-8. Dan Klecko: 0.87 Dan Klecko was a force at Temple despite the Owls' poor records. (Photo by Al Tielemans/Sports Illustrated via Getty Images) Klecko, following in his father's footsteps, was able to shine during his time at Temple. He won Big East Defensive Player of the Year in 2002, when he recorded 10.0 sacks. Demarcus Lawrence was a standout in multiple facets for Boise State. (Darin Oswald/Idaho Statesman/Tribune News Service via Getty Images) Lawrence, who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, had 20.0 sacks in 23 games over two seasons at Boise State. He actually began his college career at Butler Community College, but this exercise only takes into account stats recorded at the FBS level. Jaylon Ferguson was a four-year standout at Louisiana Tech. (Photo by) Ferguson was a highly productive pass rusher during his time at Louisiana Tech, posting seasons where he had 14.5 and 17.5 sacks. He finished his career with a total of 45.0 sacks. Ja'Von Rolland-Jones was named Defensive Player of the Year in the Sun Belt twice. (Photo by John Peterson/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) A two-time Sun Belt Player of the Year, Rolland-Jones recorded at least 8.0 sacks in the four seasons he was at Arkansas State. He finished his college career with 44.0 total sacks. Myles Garrett gave himself plenty of reasons to smile during his college career. (Photo by) There's a reason why the Cleveland Browns didn't hesitate to select Garrett with the first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He had 11.5 sacks as a true freshman in 2014, finishing his time in College Station with 32.5 sacks. He might have finished with more than that had he not suffered an ankle injury in the middle of his final year with the Aggies. 4. Greg Gathers: 0.92 Greg Gathers might have been higher on this list had he not dealt with a kidney disorder. (Credit: Doug Pensinger/Allsport) Gathers might have been higher on this list had he not been diagnosed with a kidney disorder prior to his senior season in 2002. Treatment for the disorder slowed him down before eventually causing him to step away from football. He finished his college career with 31.0 sacks over three-plus seasons. Julius Peppers was a two-sport standout at UNC. (Credit: Craig Jones/Allsport) Peppers was the third-best pass rusher on a per-game basis in college football history while also juggling a college basketball career at North Carolina. The ex-Tar Heel recorded 30.5 sacks over his college career. Terrell Suggs was a standout at Arizona State. (Photo by Peter Read Miller/Sports Illustrated via Getty Images) When you set a single-season record for sacks, it's going to be easy to get your name in the top 10 in this list. For Suggs, his 24-sack season in 2002 gets him the No. 2 spot on this list, as the former Arizona State standout finished with 44.0 sacks in his college career. Before his Hall of Fame NFL career, Dwight Freeney had a Hall of Fame college career. (Photo by) Before he became a Pro Football Hall of Fame pass rusher, Freeney was a Hall of Fame pass rusher at the college level. In just two seasons as a starter at Syracuse, Freeney recorded 34.0 total sacks. That included setting a program record of 17.5 sacks in his senior season in 2001.

2025 Alabama Fall Football Preview: Are Running Backs a Concern?
In 2023 with the Washington Huskies, Kalen DeBoer produced his first 1,000+ yard rusher as an FBS head coach when Dillon Johnson went for 1,195 yard and 16 touchdowns. In DeBoer's first Alabama season, the decision was made that utilizing quarterback Jalen Milroe as the primary ball carrier was the best path to success. As a result, Milroe dashed for 726 yards and 20 scores. Those are good numbers to be sure, but they came at the expense of the running backs corps. Jam Miller was the Tide's leading running back rusher last season with 668 yards. That total represents the lowest single season leading number by an Alabama running back since Ahmaad Galloway tallied 659 in the difficult 3-8 season of 2000. With Milroe is Seattle, that trend is bound to change. The Crimson Tide running backs will be leaned on much more in 2025 as the primary ball carriers as well as receivers. For a program that has had seven running backs drafted from 2018 to 2024, Alabama is an unusual position of not having a marquee running back on the team – the kind of guy that the whole college football world talks about. Of all the question marks on this team, running back is a big one and nobody seems to be talking about it. Miller's experience puts him at the top of the depth chart for now. However, it's not outside the realm of possibilities that he finds himself unseated by one of the younger guys or the transfer. COACHSPEAK Following the second practice of fall camp, Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb spoke with the media. One discussion led to the Crimson Tide running backs. 'They all have different skillsets. Jam, again another one of our leaders on the football team. Jam is a super smart player, good hands out of the backfield. Really physical, he's running strong at 220 right now. Good top-end speed. Daniel (Hill) is your bigger back downhill, Richard (Young) is that kind of guy. Dre Washington is a guy who's really showed up the first few days. I was really impressed with his vision. 'I think the big thing, they all have their style of running that they are good at. I think the pass protection, the consistency and understanding their rules and things like that, I think everybody's playing catch-up to Jam. Making sure those guys come along and get there. Coach G (Robert Gillespie) does a phenomenal job getting those running backs ready for that.' One of the biggest obstacles for running backs moving from the high school ranks up to the FBS – and more importantly the SEC level – is pass blocking 6-2, 235 lbs maniac blitzers who already have half of a dozen steps of momentum to get to ramming speed. Miller definitely has a step up on the rest of the contenders in this category. More recently after the first scrimmage last Saturday, DeBoer had some nice things to say about Miller and some seriously vague comments about others. 'Jam started out really well. I thought the offensive line did a nice job creating some seams for Jam to hit; got to the second level and broke a couple tackles. I thought it was one of the better showings I've seen Jam have in a scrimmage. 'Daniel Hill is a guy we're getting more and more comfortable with. He's a big back, but I think he's deceiving when it comes to what he does from a skillset standpoint because he can catch the ball out of the backfield. 'Dre has been consistent all camp long. I thought he poured a couple balls – a couple runs up in there. Did a nice job, maybe when there's not even something there, just moving the pile and getting those 3-yard gains that are important to setting your offensive up for good down and distances. 'Rich continues to do his thing, too… All of them. 'I think Jam certainly had the best day, and that's been consistent. Feel good about all of them in pass protection, first with their responsibilities and the ability to go up there and execute, too, and get the job done with blitzes and things like that. Our running backs are doing a good job and when they get out, they've been effective pass-catchers, as well. In both instances, DeBoer and Grubb raved about Miller, who is clearly the No. 1. They both also mentioned Daniel Hill, Richard Young, and ULL transfer Dre Washington with Hill mentioned second after Jam in both instances. These two quotes seem to give some insight into how the rotation might unfold. DEPARTED Justice Haynes (448 yds, 7 TD) – The Tide's No. 2 from last season never quite lived up to the lofty expectations of a 5-star recruit. He was good but not great. Plus, he battled injuries in his two season in Tuscaloosa. He never could take over the top spot. Haynes has transferred to Michigan and is expected to be their No. 1. RETURNING Now in his fifth season, running backs coach Robert Gillespie is the most tenured Crimson Tide assistants after DL coach Freddie Roach (Year 6). The 45-year old has coached at the Capstone since 2021. This might be a pivotal season for Gillespie. # 26 Jam Miller (Sr., 5' 10''/221) – As mentioned, Miller was the leading running back rusher in 2024. As a freshman, he was the fourth team running back. In 2023, he moved up one notch. Last year, he was the No. 1 and most experienced back. He had some good moments but did not quite feel like RBs of the past decade and a half. Against SEC opponents, only once did he rush for 50 yards or more, and that was against Auburn. He tallied 84 yards in that game on a career-high 28 carries, but that averages out to only 3.0 yards per carry. In fact, from the first SEC game (vs Georgia) to the end of the season, he averaged 3.5 ypc. That is not to say Miller not a good football player. It's just that he has yet to be tasked with carrying a team through a game. Tide fans have been spoiled by the riches of Nick Saban-era running backs. Yet, there was one among that group who seemed to languish deep in the depth chart for most of his college career until he got to his last season, and that guy just happens to now be the starting running back for the Washington NFL team. Let's hope Jam turns into a B-Rob instead of a forgotten back in the annals of Alabama history. With six scholarship running backs on the roster, depth is not a problem. The real issues are the lack of experience for these younger guys and keeping everyone healthy. # 9 Richard Young (R-So., 5' 11''/212) did not get too many opportunities to tote the rock in 2024 – 27 rushes, 146 yards, 2 TD – mostly due to a leg injury he suffered in Week 3 against Wisconsin. However, he did play in seven games and had some flashes of brilliance, including exclamation points against Mizzou and LSU. Young received a fair amount of buzz during spring practice and should get plenty of chances to show what he can do. # 4 Daniel Hill (So., 6' 1''/244) played in nine games as a freshman between offense and special teams. He tallied 61 yards on 21 carries, all in garbage time. The numbers aren't great but the fact that the staff saw fit to burn his redshirt speaks volumes to their belief in his immediate value to the team. Along with the current attaboys, Hill also received some praise from the coaching staff back during the spring practices. He is by far the biggest back on the roster by 20+ pounds. # 28 Kevin Riley (R-Fr., 5' 11''/191) played in only two games as a true freshman (4th quarters vs WKU and Mercer). With no A-Day Game this past spring, it is difficult to get a handle on what he brings to the table. DeBoer previously eluded that Riley may have been battling an injury a season ago but is healthy now. The scouting report on the Tuscaloosa native is that he is a shifty kind of runner with explosiveness. Clues to his future with the team may lay on how much he participates on special teams this fall. NEWBIES #20 Dre'lyn 'Dre' Washington (R-Sr., 5' 9''/216 ) was the third option at RB for Louisiana-Lafayette in 2024. He had 73 rushes for 478 yards and 5 TD for the Ragin' Cajuns in that campaign. Even so, the Bama staff must see something in him that they think is special. With this being his final season of eligibility, there must be a common sentiment between the two parties that Washington can be a significant contributor to the Tide offense in 2025. He has a good burst at the line and can turn on the jets with breakaway speed when in the open field. It will be interesting to see what he can do behind a competent offensive line. #0 AK Dear (Fr., 6' 1''/212) – Not to be outdone, Alabama signed this high 4-star prospect who was the No. 2 ranked running back in the nation for the Class of 2025. The Quitman, MS native ran for 2,016 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns in his senior year. As long as everyone else stays relatively healthy, he may be looking a redshirt this season. ACCOLADES Along with being added to the The Doak Walker Award watch list, given annually to the nation's top running back, Miller was named preseason third team All-SEC by the media at SEC Media Days. PREDICTED DEPTH CHART It may be a running back by committee sort of campaign this fall. The pecking order could look like the following: JAM MILLER DANIEL HILL DRE WASHINGTON RICHARD YOUNG KEVIN RILEY/AK DEAR Who is second behind Jam Miller?
