The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the UAB Blazers 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 UAB Blazers roster and what to expect in the American Conference this season. Can Alex Mortensen make good on his first full season as head coach after taking over midway through a rocky 2025? Was that 4-8 record more competitive than it looked on paper?
Can West Virginia and BYU transfer quarterback Ryder Burton build on his upset heroics and steady a rebuilt offense? Does new defensive coordinator Todd Grantham fix a unit that ranked among the worst in the country a year ago? How does a non-conference slate that opens at Illinois before ULM, Louisiana and Samford set up? Can the Blazers navigate an American Conference gauntlet that runs from Memphis to North Texas? And where's the betting value on the UAB Blazers win total, American Conference odds and College Football Playoff chances? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.
