SUMMARY: Football season is heating up in Mississippi as Ole Miss is ranked No. 21 in the Associated Press preseason top 25 for 2025-26. Despite losing key players to the NFL Draft and returning few starters, Lane Kiffin’s program remains highly regarded. Last season, Ole Miss narrowly missed the College Football Playoff after tough losses but achieved double-digit wins. Austin Simmons takes over quarterback from Jaxson Dart, with returning and transfer wide receivers bolstering the offense. Running backs and offensive linemen blend returning talent with new transfers. Defensively, coach Pete Golding rebuilds after key departures, confident in his mix of returners and newcomers. The Rebels open the season against Georgia State on August 30. Mississippi State and Southern Miss received no top 25 votes.

Despite outgaining the Chargers in offense, the Saints failed to score in the red zone. Chargers rookie Eric Rogers had two interceptions returned for a touchdown and key stops. Saints head coach Kellen Moore emphasized the need to protect the football moving forward. The Saints face the Jacksonville Jaguars next.

SUMMARY: Rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart made his preseason debut for the New York Giants in a 34-25 win over the Buffalo Bills, showing promise with 154 passing yards, a touchdown, and mobility. Dart led three scoring drives but noted room for improvement, especially on third-down conversions. Veteran Russell Wilson also played efficiently. Coach Brian Daboll praised Dart’s poise and confidence. The Giants, rebuilding after a poor season, hope Dart will be their future quarterback alongside Wilson. The Bills rested MVP Josh Allen, with backups Mitch Trubisky and Mike White contributing. Both teams prepare for upcoming joint practices and games.
