The current favorite to win the 2025-2026 college football national championship is the Ohio State Buckeyes. They are followed by Indiana, Georgia, Oregon and Texas Tech.
Ohio State Buckeyes
Ohio State will play Miami in the Cotton Bowl Classic on December 31 on ESPN. The Buckeyes are a 10-point favorite in College Football Playoff odds with a total of 42.5.
Miami enters this matchup at 11-2 with one of the most balanced profiles in the ACC. The Hurricanes average 414.5 yards per game and score 32.2 points, leaning on Carson Beck’s 3,175 passing yards and a steady ground game led by Mark Fletcher Jr. Defensively, Miami has been outstanding, ranking 11th nationally in total defense and top-10 against the run, allowing just 87 rushing yards per game. That front has been the backbone of a unit giving up only 13 points per contest, keeping the Hurricanes competitive in every style of game.
Ohio State counters with one of the most dominant statistical resumes in the country. The Buckeyes rank No. 1 nationally in total defense, passing defense, and scoring defense, allowing just 8.2 points per game and a stingy 213.5 total yards. Offensively, they bring strong balance of their own, averaging 429.5 yards and nearly 35 points behind Julian Sayin’s 3,323 passing yards and Bo Jackson’s 1,035 rushing yards. With elite efficiency on both sides of the ball and a perfect 5-0 road record, Ohio State presents Miami with its toughest test of the season.
Indiana Hoosiers
Indiana will play Alabama in the Rose Bowl on January 1 on ESPN. The Hoosiers are a 7-point favorite in NCAA football odds with a total of 48.
Alabama enters this matchup at 11-3 with a profile built on defense and timely passing production. The Crimson Tide allow just 17.9 points per game and rank top-15 nationally in total defense, holding opponents to 288.9 yards per contest. Their pass defense has been especially strong, giving up only 168.4 yards per game, while Ty Simpson’s 3,500 passing yards give the offense enough balance to complement a run game that has struggled at times (109.9 yards per game). Alabama’s ability to limit mistakes — only 12 turnovers — and win field-position battles has kept them competitive even when the offense isn’t explosive.
Indiana counters with one of the most complete statistical resumes in the country. The Hoosiers are undefeated at 13-0 and rank top-10 nationally in total offense, scoring 41.9 points per game behind a powerful rushing attack (221.2 yards per game) and steady quarterback play from Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza (2,980 yards). Defensively, Indiana has been elite, ranking fourth in total defense and second in scoring defense at just 10.8 points allowed. With a top-three run defense and only eight turnovers all season, the Hoosiers bring the kind of efficiency and physicality that can stress Alabama’s inconsistent ground game and force the Tide into a one-dimensional approach.
Georgia Bulldogs
The Bulldogs will play Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl on January 1 on ESPN. Georgia is a 7-point favorite in college football odds with a total of 55.5.
Mississippi enters this matchup with one of the most explosive offenses in the nation, leading the country with 539.5 total yards per game and ranking second in passing at 338.4 yards. The Rebels pair that aerial firepower with a strong ground game (201.1 rushing yards per contest) and a top-10 scoring offense at 37.3 points per game. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss (3,298 passing yards) and running back Kewan Lacy (1,366 rushing yards, 21 touchdowns) headline a unit capable of stressing defenses at every level. The concern lies on the other side of the ball, where Mississippi allows 368.2 yards per game and ranks outside the top 60 in total defense, including 160.1 rushing yards allowed — a vulnerability that could be tested heavily in this matchup.
Georgia brings a far more balanced profile, pairing a steady offense with one of the nation’s most efficient defenses. The Bulldogs average 406.9 yards per game and nearly 32 points, leaning on a strong rushing attack (186.6 yards per game) and the steady play of quarterback Gunner Stockton (2,691 passing yards). Defensively, Georgia ranks 12th nationally in total defense and top-10 in scoring defense, allowing just 15.9 points per game. Their run defense is elite, giving up only 79.2 yards per contest, which sets up a strength-on-strength battle against Mississippi’s powerful ground game. With both teams entering at 12–1, Georgia’s defensive consistency and ability to control tempo give it a stabilizing edge against the Rebels’ high-variance, high-octane style.
Oregon Ducks
Oregon will play Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl on January 1 on ESPN. The Ducks are a 2-point favorite in College Football Playoff odds with a total of 52.
Oregon enters this matchup at 12–1 with one of the most balanced statistical profiles in the country. The Ducks average 468.9 yards per game and rank top-15 nationally in both rushing (217.1 yards) and scoring offense (39.2 points). Quarterback Dante Moore has thrown for 3,046 yards, while the ground game, led by Noah Whittington, gives Oregon a physical edge that pairs well with a defense ranked eighth nationally in total yards allowed. The Ducks give up just 271.4 yards per game and are top-10 against the pass, creating a matchup where they can force opponents into long fields and limited possessions.
Texas Tech counters with an even more explosive offensive résumé, ranking sixth nationally in total offense at 480.3 yards per game and second in scoring at 42.5 points. Behren Morton leads a potent passing attack with 2,643 yards, while Cameron Dickey powers a top-30 rushing game with 1,097 yards and 14 touchdowns. Defensively, the Red Raiders are elite, ranking third in total defense and first in rushing defense at just 68.5 yards allowed per game. That combination of offensive firepower and defensive dominance has fueled a 12–1 season and an 11–2 ATS record, making Texas Tech one of the most complete statistical teams in the country heading into this showdown.
Texas Tech Red Raiders
Texas Tech will play Oregon in the Orange Bowl on January 1 on ESPN. The Red Raiders are a 2-point underdog in NCAA football odds with a total of 52.
Texas Tech enters this matchup at 12-1 with one of the most complete statistical profiles in the country, pairing a top-six offense with a top-three defense. The Red Raiders score 42.5 points per game — second nationally — behind Behren Morton’s 2,643 passing yards and Cameron Dickey’s 1,097 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. Their balance makes them difficult to scheme against, and their defense is even more imposing, ranking third in total yards allowed and first in rushing defense at just 68.5 yards per game. That front has been the backbone of an elite unit that gives up only 10.9 points per contest, allowing Tech to control games physically and force opponents into predictable situations.
Oregon brings a strong resume of its own, but Texas Tech’s defensive strengths match up well with the Ducks’ preferred approach. Oregon averages 217.1 rushing yards per game and leans heavily on its ground game to set up Dante Moore’s 3,046 passing yards. That plays directly into Tech’s biggest advantage — a front seven that has shut down every rushing attack it has faced. The Ducks’ defense is top-10 nationally, but they’ll be tested by a Red Raider offense that ranks sixth in total yards and has multiple ways to stress coverage. With an 11-2 ATS record, Texas Tech enters this matchup with the statistical edge, the defensive profile to dictate tempo, and the offensive firepower to trade scores if needed.
