Ohio State enters the 2026 season as the consensus preseason No. 1 in the Coaches Poll and multiple media rankings, buoyed by a 12-2 finish in 2025 that included a College Football Playoff quarterfinal appearance. The Buckeyes return significant experience on both lines and benefit from a relatively favorable early schedule before tougher Big Ten tests. Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Notre Dame sit close behind, each with strong returning production and favorable recruiting classes, though all face questions at key positions. The first AP and Coaches Poll rankings of the year will set the initial market baseline once the regular season opens in early September, with early results and strength-of-schedule outcomes likely driving rapid adjustments in trader consensus.
