The final Group of 6 conference preview episode hits the Sun Belt, the American Athletic Conference, and the rebuilt Pac-12 with full 2026 picks, predictions, betting angles, title-game projections, surprise teams, disappointment picks, and schedule notes.

The Sun Belt enters a transition year with James Madison trying to survive another coaching change under Billy Napier, Old Dominion and Marshall pushing in the East, and a chaotic West led by Troy, Louisiana, Arkansas State, and newcomer Louisiana Tech. Gary explains why JMU is the champion pick, why Troy and Louisiana Tech carry betting value, and why Southern Miss may be the biggest fade in the league.

The American looks wide open after major coaching and roster turnover. Navy has the cleanest path, UTSA has the best quarterback profile with Owen McCown, Memphis has the transfer upside under Charles Huff, and ECU, Army, USF, Tulane, FAU, and Tulsa all bring different paths and problems.

The new Pac-12 is back as a rebuilt Group of 6 power league, with Boise State as the overwhelming favorite. San Diego State, Fresno State, Texas State, Washington State, and Utah State all have challenger cases, but the real question is whether anyone can make Boise State uncomfortable.
