of the crucial transfer website decisions have actually been made, making it the perfect time to revive Future Power Rankings– a personnel-based take a look at the next three seasons around college football.After taking a look at quarterbacks and defenses, the offenses remain in the spotlight, and the landscape is always evolving. Last year’s FPR offense piece opened with a scene from Washington’s practice, noting standouts like quarterback Michael Penix Jr., pass receivers Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan, and take on Roger Rosengarten. All of them are gone, selected in the leading 100 choices of last month’s NFL draft. Washington also has a new coach( Jedd Fisch)and a completely new offensive depth chart. Offered all the unpredictability, Washington hardly made the top 25 offenses through the 2026 season.There are modifications elsewhere, even because the quarterback FPR list back in March. Georgia improved its future quarterback outlook with transfer Jaden Rashada, while Miami added to its offensive backfield with running back Damien Martinez. Colorado has reshaped its running back room with Ohio State’s Dallan Hayden and Miami (Ohio)’s Rashad Amos, while losing Dylan Edwards to Kansas State and Alton McCaskill to Arizona State.Given all the roster fluctuation, the rankings lean more on coaching. Those who have supervised perennially elite offenses– USC’s Lincoln Riley, Ohio State’s Ryan Day, Ole Miss’ Lane Kiffin, Alabama’s
Kalen DeBoer, FSU’s Mike Norvell, Tennessee’s Josh Heupel and Texas’Steve Sarkisian– will continue to be represented here. Coaches taking brand-new tasks– Fisch at Washington, Jeff Lebby at Mississippi State– also will gain consideration.As always, the offense rankings will mainly mirror the quarterback ones, although there are some essential differences, particularly for teams that have actually strengthened locations such as the offending line.Let’s get started.
