With the season approaching, I wanted a better way to prepare than reading dozens of separate previews or listening to hours of podcasts, just to forget most of it by Week 1.

I started with a few, then more, then decided to expand to all P4 + ND. It ended up being more arduous than I anticipated, but also rewarding.

I have published the 2026 preseason primers for every ACC team, plus an ACC conference primer and Notre Dame.

They are mostly designed as quick references for watching games, with roster/coaching changes, 2025 context, advanced stats, schedules, players to know, and a small betting lens.

This is totally free and not self promotion. I was creating these for myself and friends and just thought others would find them interesting.

The only reason for a website was to make them more accessible than just sharing links to google drive.

Hope you enjoy!

Yikes

For the ones that don’t know, London Johnson has been dismissed and Seth Trimble is currently ineligible. This leaves Jackson Shelstad as the only PG on the depth charts currently.

Jeff Brohm wasted no time turning Louisville into a consistent ACC contender. Is 2026 the year he goes a step further?

📌 Lincoln Kienholz gets his shot, will he be the guy to take the Cards to the promise land?

📌 If Kienholz plays well, everything else will take care of itself. Isaac Brown is one of the best RBs in the sport. WR and TE is revamped with talent

📌 Clev Lubin and an excellent secondary lead the way on defense. Could this be Jeff Brohm's best defense yet?

Preview attached. What are your predictions for Louisville in 2026?

I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Louisville page

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-lou

It's got the projected record and rating, returning production (under 20% back), the transfer-portal board, a game-by-game betting profile, and where the model has the Cards finishing in Jeff Brohm's fourth year.

Fair warning, after the Louisville preview, there's a paywall on the other teams. This thing took forever to make lol. But for the love of Reddit, and since I'm shamelessly posting in your house, code LEECORSOROCKS unlocks the whole thing free, no card, nothing. If you hit the paywall, tap "Have a promo code?" and drop it in

So, what'd I get wrong? You know Cards ball better than my model does. The thing that sticks out to me is 9 wins with a roster that graded 50th in talent while every rating system had you around 27th, and then covering once in eight home games.

What a disappointing performance. Just tons of contested deep threes. A lot of these guys just look like they’re going through the motions. I wouldn’t be shocked if we get walloped at home too.
