Transfer Portal Rules: Players will be able to officially enter the transfer portal from January 2 through January 16, 2026. This moves all portal activity out of December and removes the old spring window. This main portal window opens right after the CFP quarterfinals. Players who are still competing in later playoff rounds will get a separate five day window after their final game to enter. Coaching Change Exception: Players now have a 15 day window to enter the portal immediately after their head coach leaves. They also get another window that begins five days after the new coach is hired or publicly introduced.

It doesn't close for players that are still playing until 5 days after their last game

Playoff team players have 5 days after their last game to declare.

Wouldn’t say that. Just have to adjust .

It’s what they’re doing right now with the quarterback situation.

The only thing it messes up is having to hold spots. You run the risk of them ending up not coming when you could have filled the spot with someone earlier .

We don't really have to "hold" spots. Its very unlikely we will fill our entire 105 alottment/roster limit. Now, there will have to be conversations pertaining to starting roles. But that conversation would happen regardless.

hypothetically how does it work for these teams replacing guys who do decided to transfers out? do they just get screwed because there is no other transfer window now?

This is not a new thing. Teams still playing get extended time to enter. Same as it’s been for years.

If you're still playing, you get an extension on the window. Your coach leaves, you get a new transfer window. The Jan 2-16 window isn't and end all be all.

The transfer portal needs to move to the end of May.

The playoff teams are getting screwed big time, and we plan on making the playoffs every single year.
