With spring practice over and many important transfer portal decisions made, now is the perfect time to bring back the Future Power Rankings, a personnel-based analysis of the next three seasons of college football.
After looking at the quarterback and defense, attention turns to the offense, and things are constantly evolving. Last year's FPR offense piece began with a look at Washington's practices, highlighting standouts such as quarterback Michael Penix Jr., wide receivers Roman Odunze and Jalen McMillan, and tackle Roger Rosengarten. All of the players selected in the top 100 of last month's NFL Draft are gone. Washington has a new coach (Jedd Fisch) and a whole new offensive depth chart. Given all the uncertainty, Washington could barely finish as a top-25 offensive line through the 2026 season.
Changes have been made elsewhere since the quarterback FPR list in March. Georgia strengthened its quarterback prospects with the transfer of Jaden Rashada, and Miami added strength to its offensive backfield with running back Damian Martinez. Colorado reorganized its running back room with Ohio State's Darran Hayden and Miami (Ohio)'s Rashad Amos, while also sending Dylan Edwards to Kansas State and Alton McCaskill to Arizona State. lost to.
Rankings are heavily dependent on coaching, given roster fluctuations. Lincoln Riley of the University of Southern California, Ryan Day of Ohio State, Lane Kiffin of Ole Miss, Karen DeBoer of the University of Alabama, Mike Norvell of FSU, Josh Heupel of the University of Tennessee, Steve Heupel of the University of Texas. Players like Sarkisian, who has overseen elite offenses for many years, will continue to represent the team here. Coaches taking new jobs (Washington's Fisch, Mississippi State's Jeff Levy) will also be considered.
As always, offensive rankings primarily reflect quarterback rankings, but there are some key differences, especially for teams with strengthened areas such as the offensive line.
let's start.
