The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the Sacramento State Hornets 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 Sacramento State Hornets roster and what to expect in the Mid-American Conference this season. Can Sacramento State make a clean jump from the FCS Big Sky to FBS football in the MAC after a 7-5 finish in 2025? Was pulling Alonzo Carter away from Arizona the right hire to lead the Hornets into their new league?
Can new offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau get quarterback Carson Conklin firing after the junior returned from Fresno State? Will defensive coordinator Adam Clark patch up a group that returns just 42 percent of its production? How does a roster with only 21 percent of its offense back hold up in year one at the FBS level? Did a recruiting class ranked 122nd nationally with 50 commits bring in enough bodies for the MAC grind? Which games on the 2026 schedule give the Hornets their best shot at a bowl? And where's the betting value on the Sacramento State win total, MAC odds and College Football Playoff chances? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.
