After just one single year as head coach of one of the most dominant programs in the nation, Ryan Day is ranked No. 7 in Sporting News’s Bill Bender’s annual rankings of all 130 college football coaches heading into the 2020 season.
Sporting News ranked all 130 coaches based on career accomplishments, and both last season and the past three years. When it gets tight, they took the coach they’d like in a head-to-head matchup, according to Bender.
The SEC led the way with eight coaches in the top 25, followed by the Big Ten with six.
