Utah enters the 2026 season under first-year head coach Morgan Scalley following Kyle Whittingham’s departure to Michigan, creating notable roster and staff turnover that shapes the 8.5 win total market. The Utes lost their entire starting offensive line from an 11-2 campaign, along with key defensive contributors and several assistants, prompting transfers and new additions like wide receivers Braden Pegan and Kyri Shoels plus offensive tackle Cedric Jefferson. Returning quarterback Devon Dampier and running back Wayshawn Parker anchor the offense under new coordinator Kevin McGiven, while the defense retains experience at linebacker and in the secondary. A favorable early schedule featuring home games against Idaho, Arkansas, and Utah State before a road test at Iowa State provides time for the young line to develop ahead of a tougher November stretch that includes Houston, BYU, Arizona, and TCU. Preseason projections cluster around 8 wins, reflecting competitive balance in the Big 12 with realistic paths to eight or nine victories.

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.
