- The Mountain West lost five teams to the Pac‑12 and replenished with FBS newcomer North Dakota State plus Northern Illinois and UTEP.
- Big Four conferences stayed put for 2026 — the Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and ACC had no changes (Big Ten still includes ex‑Pac‑12 schools), and 22 teams shifted conferences overall.
