College Football 26: New Rush LTD & Alumni Rolls Everything You Need to Know
Aug-18-2025 PST
New Rush LTD Charles Woodson
Let's talk Charles Woodson, the latest Rush LTD. He's a Michigan legend, and while not everyone's favorite, this card is undeniably cracked.
89 Speed
87 Zone
85 Man Coverage
There's also a standard LTD version with the exact same stats, except for one less speed (88). Honestly, unless you're obsessed with min-maxing, the 88-speed version is perfectly fine. You'll save a ton of coins too-not worth dropping a million+ for one extra speed point.
Alumni Cards Are Back: Peppers, Moon, Bennett & More
The Alumni program saw a big update too, and it brought some serious heat.
Julius Peppers
85 Speed
87 Acceleration
85 Power Move
85 Finesse
88 Block Shed
This guy is an absolute monster off the edge. If you get him, he's an auto-starter.
Warren Moon
There's a new event to get him:
Reach level 12 (30 wins)
Earn 87 OVR Warren Moon (BND)
Honestly, he's not all that impressive. If you've already got Vince Young, this might not be worth the grind.
Heads-up: You need 10 Alumni players to enter the Moon event, but they don't have to be starters. Just stash them as backups.
Jonathan Ogden
A 6'9 left tackle-basically a skyscraper at the edge of your line. He might just be the best LT in the game right now. Big, strong, reliable.
Cornelius Bennett
84 Speed
86 Acceleration
He's solid, but doesn't match Peppers in any metric. More of a rotational guy unless you're just starting out.
Packs Are Live-But Are They Worth It?
Let's talk packs.
Alumni Roll Price Increase
The Alumni rolls went from 2,600 to 4,500 training. That's an absolutely massive jump. So be warned-training is expensive now, and rolls might not feel as rewarding.
Rush Opportunity Packs
Hard pass. These "limited opportunity" packs offer:
10% chance at an 88
Usually return 80s or 81s
These aren't worth the coins, especially with better packs available.
Pack Luck Recap: Big Wins and Surprises
The pack luck today was insane, starting with an LTD pull out of training rolls. Two Rush LTDs landed back-to-back, including a Charles Woodson, which sold for 600K coins instantly.
Other Notable Pulls:
87 Cornelius Bennett (BND)-Solid for depth
88 Travis Hunter (BND)-Already owned him, but still a top-tier card
85 Ronnie Lott-Good quicksell value
86 Rabbit Evans, Gauge Keys, Zane Durant-Decent mid-tier pulls
85 Elijah Griffin, 84s and 83s-Great training fodder
Rush Goal Line & Coverage Packs: Are They Worth It?
These packs offer some potential if you're chasing LTDs or missing key players from the Rush promo.
Rush Goal Line BND Pack
One of three 83+
Two of four 80+
52% chance at an 87+
These gave out a lot of full cards today, including:
Jonathan Ogden
Brian Dawkins
Cornelius Bennett
Not bad value-but remember, BND limits your flexibility.
Rush Coverage Pack
1x 82+
2x 80+
2x 78+
One of these gave us Travis Hunter-but again, BND hurts resale value.
Quick Tip: If you're only looking for coins, avoid BND-heavy packs. Use your money on platinum packs or save for training to hit the rolls.
Are the Training Rolls Still Worth It?
Training rolls cost a brutal 4,500 training per roll, but they're still your best shot at getting an LTD without dropping a million coins.
Pulled Charles Woodson
Pulled Jonathan Ogden-sells for ~170K
Saw plenty of 87s & 88s
Training is expensive, but if you get lucky, you can print coins.
Final Verdict: What Should You Be Doing?
If you're playing College Football 26 right now, here's your best plan of attack:
1.Do your daily recruit packs-Always value here.
2.Hunt rush LTDs through training rolls-High risk, but massive reward.
3.Avoid bad value packs (especially BND opportunity packs).
4.Grind the Warren Moon event only if you don't already have Vince Young.
5.Invest in alumni players-Especially if you plan to enter the Moon event. Get backups!
6.Sell high right now-Some cards are inflated from the hype (Peppers, Woodson).Wrapping Up
This was one of the most exciting days in CFB 26 so far. Two Rush LTDs pulled. Major pack luck. But also some price hikes and value traps to watch out for. Be smart with your cheap CFB 26 Coins, don't go overboard on BND packs, and grind what's actually worth it.
