Boise State, Navy among top Group of Six teams for CFP

As the 2026 college football season approaches, teams like Boise State and Navy are considered strong candidates to make the College Football Playoff. Boise State reenters the Pac-12 after a playoff appearance in 2024 but struggled last season. Navy, the American Conference favorite, aims to secure a CFP spot with a revamped offense following the departure of key players. With only one Group of Six team likely to make the playoff, both teams must prove themselves throughout the season. The playoff format guarantees spots for power conference champions, making it crucial for Group of Six contenders to excel early in the season.
