As December dawns in the world of college football, conference championship games have arrived and the college football playoff field is just about to be finalized. There are several potential first-round draft picks playing this weekend including QBs Fernando Mendoza / Indiana (SNS #1 QB), Ty Simpson / Alabama (SNS #2 QB), RB LJ Martin / BYU (SNS #6 RB), WRs Carnell Tate / Ohio State (SNS #2 WR), Germie Bernard / Alabama (SNS #5 WR), Caleb Douglas / Texas Tech (SNS #8 WR)...

SNS' number one QB prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft, Fernando Mendoza (Indiana), was barely on the draft radar when the season began. The quality of the 2025 QB class will be determined after Dante Moore (Oregon) and Ty Simpson (Alabama) decide to declare or to return for another season of college football.
