Yahoo Sports' 2026 college fantasy product covers only the Power-4 conferences plus Notre Dame — the Sun Belt isn't in it. Saturday Night Showdown carries all 138 FBS programs, Southern Miss included.
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.
