Ohio State enters the 2026 season as the consensus preseason favorite to reach the College Football Playoff National Championship game, topping the Coaches Poll and leading futures markets ahead of Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Notre Dame, and Indiana. The Buckeyes return a loaded roster under Ryan Day after a 12-2 campaign that ended in the CFP quarterfinals, while Oregon and Georgia bring similar depth from strong 2025 finishes in the expanded Big Ten and SEC. Notre Dame benefits from an independent schedule with fewer landmines, and rising programs like Texas and Indiana carry momentum from recent playoff appearances or breakthrough seasons. With the regular season opening in early September, early injuries, quarterback stability, and strength-of-schedule results will quickly shape which contenders separate in the 12-team playoff race.
