Ohio State enters the 2026 season as the consensus preseason favorite to reach the College Football Playoff national championship game, sitting atop the AP and Coaches polls with strong national title odds alongside Notre Dame and Oregon. The Buckeyes benefit from elite talent retention and a high floor, while Notre Dame’s experienced roster and defensive depth position them for a deep playoff run following recent near-misses. Oregon and Texas round out the top tier with strong quarterback play and conference positioning. Defending champion Indiana faces roster turnover after its undefeated 2025 campaign but remains a top-10 contender amid broader NIL-driven parity that has expanded the group of realistic playoff teams to roughly a dozen programs. Early non-conference results and injury updates will quickly shape implied probabilities.
