College football easiest schedules based on 2026 preseason rankings

People always say they want to play against the best, but would you really complain if the road to success wasn't all that challenging?

The preseason US LBM Coaches Poll release reveals where top contenders will start the college football season, and luckily, some squads won't have to deal with those powerhouses. Seeing few or no numbers next to any opponent's name on the schedule is a delight to start the season, meaning it's not looking like a grueling 2026.
