Five sleeper bets Tom Fornelli expects to surprise in 2026 college football

CBS Sports writer Tom Fornelli highlights five teams he believes will outperform their 2026 preseason win totals: the Florida Gators, boosted by a coaching upgrade under Jon Sumrall; the Kansas State Wildcats with Collin Klein potentially contending for the Big 12 title; the Michigan State Spartans under Pat Fitzgerald turning the corner with a strong transfer class and improved defense; the USC Trojans, led by Jayden Maiava, potentially becoming a playoff contender; and the Virginia Tech Hokies, where Franklin’s impact could spark a climb in the ACC. He acknowledges his predictions may miss, but he’s betting on these teams delivering surprises in 2026.

Tar Heels, Hokies Clash in Penultimate Smith Center Showdown

No. 18 North Carolina (22-6, 10-5 ACC) hosts Virginia Tech (18-10, 7-8 ACC) at the Smith Center for the penultimate home game of the season. UNC rides momentum from a Louisville win (without Caleb Wilson) and Seth Trimble’s career-high 30 points, while Tech counters with balanced double-figure scoring and a stingy 3-point defense but slower pace and weaker interior defense. UNC leads the series 74-17 (34-6 in Chapel Hill; 9-1 in Smith Center) and beat Tech 91-59 in Blacksburg last season; projected UNC starters are Trimble, Veesaar, Dixon, Bogavac and Stevenson, with Hansberry, Avdalas, Lawal and Hammond leading Tech.

Georgia Amoore, a junior guard from Ballarat, Australia, is leading the Virginia Tech Hokies to their first Final Four appearance in program history.
