Who can bounce back from a disappointing season?

Always College Football with Greg McElroy

About this episode

Preseason hype is what college football fans LIVE for, but what happens if your team fails to meet those expectations? Don’t worry McElroy is here to give you a comprehensive "bounce back" guide for 10 teams in the 2026 season. South Carolina, Auburn, Illinois, Arizona State, Louisville and more have "February optimism" right now but still have the sting of the harsh reality of last year's failures. It’s time to move on from the disappointment to redemption as McElroy identifies personnel upgrades, portal wins, and favorable schedules for the upcoming season. Learn more about your ad choices.
