Published Tue. Jul 21st, 2026 2026 Season Kicks off August 29

An abbreviated schedule of 8 games will kickoff the race for the 2026 National Championship. It's been a long wait for me I can tell you for sure. With my health holding steady, although guarded and monitored carefully, I'm thankful to say the Billingsley Report will continue on for  at least one more year! As in 2025 my nephew Steve joined me in Alvin to create the 2026 Pre-Season Rankings, but this year he travelled from his new home in Columbia, Missouri where he moved to in the off season.
