California Golden Bears
California's top projected fantasy scorer for the 2026 season is Adam Mohammed, a RB projected for 159.9 points (overall rank #668 among every FBS draftable player on the board). Across its top 10 board-ranked players, California projects for 931.2 combined fantasy points — 9.7 points above the ACC median of 921.5, ranking #8 of 17 in the conference. Its deepest position group is wide receivers, worth 475.4 combined projected points from 13 rostered players.
The ACC is one of the sport's four power conferences. Saturday Night Showdown carries live projections and a full draft board for all 138 FBS programs — power-conference and Group of Five alike.
Projected points and board slot are Saturday Night Showdown's own 2026 season-long projections and value-based draft board, generated before Week 0 kicks off — not stats from games already played, and not an average of real-world draft results.
