Today on The Hard Count with J.D. PicKell ... Who will be the Top 10 teams in college football over the next three years? J.D. updates his rankings from last season with some new teams on the list and some big movers. Then we kick it over to our interview with Miami head coach Mario Cristobal, who reflects on his team making the national championship, what's next for Miami, and why he hates the phrase 'The U is Back'.

To close the show, we hand out some transfer portal quarterback superlatives, check in on where things stand in the state of Texas between Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech, break down the potential stakes of the Ohio State vs Michigan game given their schedules, and react to Oklahoma's 2026 schedule.
