First Round Draft Order – Seattle vs New England in Super Bowl LX

Seattle vs New England in Super Bowl LX Hold Final Selections

NFL Draft 2026 – ‘The Raiders are ‘On the Clock’!
 Jets, Cardinals, Titans & Giants, Hold Top 5 Selections

 2026 NFL Draft Selection Order

The NFL Conference championship games have finalized the top 30 selections in the frist round of the NFL Draft 2026. It will be Seattle vs New England in Super Bowl LX after winning confereence titles.  Neither team even made the playoffs after the 2024 season.

With the closure of the regular season schedule and the early playoff games, the NFL Draft order has been established for the top 30 non-playoff teams. Four teams hold a 3-14 record with the Raiders landing the 1st overall selection on the weaker strength of schedule.  The Jets, Cardinals and Titans hold the next three selections with each club at 3-14. These clubs started multiple QBs in 2025 after several injuries and poor performances forced weekly changes at the position. Of the top five teams, only the Giants with rookie Jaxson Dart and Titans with rookie QB Cam Ward have bona fide starters set for the coming years.

The Giants are next at the 5th pick at 4-13 and within reach of trading up for an earlier selection. It is the usual suspects in the top ten with several pretenders like the Chiefs and Bengals both falling below the .500 mark with weak 2025 performances.

The bottom 12 playoff positions will be decided by playoffs results. The Super Bowl teams will hold the 31st and 32nd positions.  The strength of schedule % will determine the final positions of all tied teams. The SOS is based on all of each team’s opponents record. Each succeeding round, the tied teams will rotate up within their tied bracket.

Playoffs – Divisional, Conference & Super Bowl games determine final 8 positions

A teams’ opponent’s W-L record will determine all tie situations. Teams that are still tied will flip though none necessary this year. Playoff teams will shuffle according to their postseason results to determine the final top 32 selections. Super Bowl game will determine final two positions.

 Team tie-breaking procedure for the NFL Draft
If two or more clubs are tied in the selection order, the strength-of-schedule tie breaker is applied, subject to the following exceptions for playoff clubs: The Super Bowl winner is last and the Super Bowl loser next-to-last. Any non-Super Bowl playoff club involved in a tie shall be assigned priority within its segment below that of non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff clubs exited from the playoffs. Within a tied segment a playoff club that loses in the Wild-Card game will have priority over a playoff club that loses in the Divisional playoff game that in turn will have priority over a club that loses in the Conference Championship game. If two tied clubs exited the playoffs in the same round, the tie is broken by strength of schedule. If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, when applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip.

Indiana is King of College Football

Indiana is King of College Football

CFP Championship Game – Indiana Beats Miami 27-21

  Jan. 20, 2026 – Miami Gardens, Fl

Frank Coyle / Head scout

The Indiana Hoosiers beat the Miami Hurricanes for their first national championship in college football history. It was a win for the ages as they completed a magical 2025 season going undefeated with a strong victory over the Hurricanes 27-21.

The Hoosiers were not affected by the Miami advantage of playing on their home field for the title game. They have overcome numerous obstacles this season on their way to the national title. They have been the doormat of college football annually, losing the most games in history. Their performance this year stands alone as the most amazing campaign with a perfect season 16-0. They were the first team to achieve 16-0 at this level.

It all changed with the hiring of HC Curt Cignetti in 2024 who began the incredible rebuilding process. The signing of Cal transfer QB Fernando Mendoza was a key addition which transcended them to national power this season. Cignetti built a disciplined, smart team club with sound systems and few mistakes. The team radiates discipline and poise and rarely turns the ball over or get few penalties. That has been the difference in several big games the past two seasons. Mendoza completed a story book 2026 performance, winning the Heisman Trophy in December, beating Ohio State for the Big Ten title and sweep in the CFP series to win the crown. Mendoza made an amazing 4th quarter play on fourth down when he ran a 12-yard QB drew and broke several hard hits to dive into the endzone with the game winning TD. Their aggressive defense completed the victory with a game ending interception of QB Carson Beck by corner Jamari Sharpe with seconds remaining deep in their territory. It completed the most incredible long shot champion in college football history. Indiana now has a national title in football to sit next to their basketball championships. Hail to the Hoosiers!

Fernando Mendoza Looks to Guide Hoosiers to National Title

Carson Beck Hopes to Direct Another Impressive Miami Win

The CFP title game brings two new teams this year to the national venue in Indiana and Miami. The Hoosiers (15-0) look to complete their magical season and go undefeated through the regular season, Big Ten and CFP playoffs. Heisman trophy winner, QB Fernando Mendoza has been near flawless, dissecting the highly rated Bama and Ducks defense with impressive CFP wins. The Hoosiers are one of the most disciplined and efficient teams in history, under the guidance of HC Curt Cignetti. He has instilled discipline and organization on a club which did not win the Big Ten since 1967. Wideouts, Elijah Sarratt and Omar Cooper have provided big plays and sure handed targets consistently. Their defense has been a cohesive unit which plays sound disciplined football forcing offenses to beat them physically.

Miami (12-2) has combined three impressive CFP wins over Texas A&M, Ohio State and Ole Miss behind QB Carson Beck to earn the title game. A win tonight would be the Hurricanes first national title since 2001. They have responded to the guidance of HC Mario Cristobal, running a balanced offense and an aggressive physical defense which has taken over games through their stretch drive.

QB Carson Beck has provided good leadership and the ability to deliver the ball to a solid group of playmakers. Freshman sensation playmaker Malachi Toney has been a difference maker in key spots and gives them a dangerous weapon which they go to in critical situations. Runner Mark Fletcher has been a workhorse back, giving this attack an excellent balance in big games. Their aggressive defense has relied on a talented tandem of edge rushers in Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor to apply consistent pressure to give their secondary many opportunities on key passing downs.

The matchup has the makings of a classic contest with the Hoosiers looking to control the line of scrimmage and keep the Miami tough defense off balance. The Indiana offensive line has been highly productive and very underrated through the undefeated season. Miami looks to play their home field advantage to the fullest and bring out the alumni to create the old time Miami mystique. Their legacy of stars from Ray Lewis and Ed Reed to their long list of QBs over the past several decades will be in attendance.

Giants Signing HC John Harbaugh

Giants Signing HC John Harbaugh

The Giants have landed their man with the verbal agreement, signing head coach John Harbaugh. The Giants moved quickly with Harbaugh who was shockingly fired after losing the Ravens’ season finale to the Steelers, eliminating them last week from the postseason. The Giants are finalizing a five-year contract to be announced latter this week.

Harbaugh holds a 180-113 regular-season record, the winningest coach in Ravens history by 100 victories. Under Harbaugh, the Ravens went to the playoffs in 12 of his 18 years, won six AFC North titles and won Super Bowl XLVII.

Rarely a coach of this caliber becomes available on the open market. The Giants were his first interview and they sold him on the top organization, young roster at key positions and the early open market on a coaching staff. Harbaugh is 63 years old after two decades in Baltimore. He commands the locker room and has coached every position on a team. There are expected to be many coaching changes on the Giants staff. Harbaugh is expected to bring OC Todd Monken along to help in the development of rookie QB Jaxson Dart. Monken set new records in 2024 when he led the Ravens to the #1 ranking in scoring in both passing and running along with producing 4000 yards passing and 3000 yards rushing. Monken has worked under Harbaugh for the last three seasons of his 11-year NFL career.
