**Baylor enters the 2026 season with a projected win total near 6.5 amid significant roster turnover and coaching changes.** Head coach Dave Aranda faces pressure after a 5-7 finish in 2025 and a 36-37 career record, with bowl eligibility and job security at stake. Junior transfer QB DJ Lagway from Florida anchors an offense returning just one starter, while new defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman (from Kansas State) assumes play-calling duties alongside 14 portal additions on defense, including standout DL Hosea Wheeler. The schedule offers early winnable games against Prairie View A&M, Louisiana Tech, and Colorado but features a neutral-site opener against Auburn and a brutal November close against ranked BYU, Texas Tech, and Houston. Preseason analyses project records clustered around 5-7 or 6-6, reflecting questions around offensive line depth, Lagway’s durability, and defensive scheme implementation in a competitive Big 12.

Only official regular-season games count. Conference championship games, bowl games, and College Football Playoff games do not count even if the NCAA recognizes them as such. Only played games resulting in a win will count toward this total.
If the listed team plays fewer games than scheduled due to cancellation, weather, forfeit, or any other reason, only actual wins recorded count toward the total; canceled or unplayed games do not count as wins.
If the 2026 NCAA Division 1 Football regular season is cancelled, postponed after December 26, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or it cannot be determined how many wins the listed team recorded within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source will be official NCAA and conference records (https://www.ncaa.com); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
