2025-2026 College Football Championship Odds
The 2025-2026 College Football Playoff field is set with 12 teams competing for the national championship. The playoff begins with first round action on December 19th and 20th although the top four teams in the rankings will get a bye to the quarterfinals which take place on December 31 and January 1. The top contenders to win the college football national championship are a little bit different as Notre Dame was left out of the CFP Playoff field and with Indiana beating Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. As we head into Week 16 with Army playing Navy and the bowl games beginning, the order of the top teams is slightly different. The 2025-2026 college football title odds have Indiana and Ohio State at the top, followed by Georgia, Oregon, Texas Tech and Texas A&M.

The current favorite to win the 2025-2026 college football national championship is basically a pick between the Indiana Hoosiers and Ohio State Buckeyes. Those teams are followed by Georgia, Oregon, Texas Tech and Texas A&M.
Indiana Hoosiers
In a nail-biting Big Ten Championship clash at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana slipped past Ohio State 13-10, claiming their first conference title since 1967 and securing the top seed in the College Football Playoff. The Hoosiers (13-0) snapped a 30-game losing streak against the Buckeyes dating back to 1988, ending OSU's 16-game winning streak in the process.
Ohio State struck first in the opening quarter with a 7-yard TD pass from Julian Sayin to Carnell Tate, capping a 67-yard drive to lead 7-0. Indiana responded with a 29-yard field goal from Nicolas Radicic to cut it to 7-3 before the quarter ended. The second quarter stayed low-scoring: the Hoosiers added another field goal for a 6-7 halftime deficit, while OSU's Jayden Fielding answered with one of his own to extend the lead to 10-6. Indiana's defense dominated the third, forcing back-to-back sacks on Sayin—including one that pushed OSU to a 3rd-and-27—and a punt to open the half.
The game turned decisively in the third when Mendoza, facing 3rd-and-8 from the OSU 17, delivered a pinpoint 17-yard back-shoulder fade to Elijah Sarratt for the go-ahead touchdown, putting Indiana up 13-10. The Hoosier defense, led by a stifling front seven and secondary, clamped down from there, allowing just 58 rushing yards and sacking Sayin three times. Late in the fourth, Mendoza connected with Charlie Becker for a crucial 37-yard grab on 3rd-and-6 to seal the first down and the win.
Indiana gets a first-round bye and won’t play until the quarterfinals where they will play the winner of Alabama vs. Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl on January 1.
Ohio State Buckeyes
For the first time since the 2021 regular-season finale, Ohio State walked off the field as losers. In the Big Ten Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium, the defending national champion Buckeyes fell 13-10 to a relentless Indiana team that simply refused to let them breathe.
OSU grabbed the early 7-0 lead on Julian Sayin’s 7-yard strike to Carnell Tate, but the offense never found rhythm again. The Buckeyes managed only 58 rushing yards—their second-lowest output of the season—and were sacked three times, including a crushing third-quarter sequence that turned a promising drive into a 3rd-and-27 disaster. Jayden Fielding’s 42-yard field goal in the second quarter would prove to be Ohio State’s final points of the night.
Indiana took its first lead at 13-10 on a perfectly thrown 17-yard back-shoulder fade from Fernando Mendoza to Elijah Sarratt late in the third. From that moment, the Hoosiers’ defense lived in the backfield and the Buckeyes had no answer. A late fourth-quarter drive stalled when Sayin’s deep shot to Jeremiah Smith sailed just out of reach on third down, forcing a punt that effectively ended the game.
Ohio State gets a first-round bye in the College Football Playoffs, as they will play next in the quarterfinals where they will play the winner of the game between Texas A&M and Miami in the Cotton Bowl Classic on December 31.
Georgia Bulldogs
Georgia finally broke Alabama’s grip on the SEC Championship Game, rolling past the Crimson Tide 28–7 on Saturday in Atlanta behind a poised, mistake-free performance from Gunner Stockton and a defense that looked like vintage Kirby Smart. Stockton threw three touchdown passes and added 39 rushing yards, guiding an offense that didn’t light up the stat sheet but cashed in every red-zone trip and controlled the game from the opening drive. Georgia led 21–0 before Alabama ever found the end zone, with Dillon Bell, Roderick Robinson, and Zachariah Branch all hauling in touchdown passes as the Bulldogs methodically built a lead that never felt threatened. The defense did the rest, holding Alabama to just 209 total yards, stuffing two fourth-down attempts, and keeping Ty Simpson under constant duress in one of the most dominant championship-game efforts of the Smart era.
The win snapped Georgia’s 0–4 skid against Alabama in SEC title games and marked just the second time Smart has beaten his former mentor, turning Mercedes-Benz Stadium into a sea of red as Bulldogs fans celebrated back-to-back conference crowns.
Georgia (12–1) now heads into the College Football Playoff with a top-four seed and a first-round bye locked up, returning to the Sugar Bowl on January 1 with momentum, confidence, and the sense that this team—battle-tested, hardened by a season of close calls, and anchored by a defense that’s peaking at the right time—is built for another deep postseason run.
The Bulldogs have a first-round by in the College Football Playoff and will not play until the quarterfinals when they face the winner of the game between Tulane and Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl on January 1.
Oregon Ducks
The Ducks have not played since winning against Washington in their regular-season finale. Dante Moore threw for 286 yards and delivered a back-breaking 64-yard touchdown strike to Malik Benson with 7:55 left, powering Oregon to a 26-14 road win over Washington. Atticus Sappington was perfect on four field goals—including a career-long 51-yarder—while Moore added a 1-yard sneak as the Ducks leaned on their elite secondary to twice pick off Demond Williams Jr. and hold the Huskies to season-low passing production. With starter Jonah Coleman still limited, Oregon’s offense found just enough big plays to complement another dominant defensive effort and extend the nation’s longest true-road winning streak to 12 games under Dan Lanning.
The victory gave Oregon (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten) its second win in five tries over Washington and capped the regular season on a high note heading into the playoff. Benson’s catch-and-run dagger came right after the Huskies had closed within five, and the Ducks’ defense slammed the door the rest of the way. Oregon now awaits Selection Sunday fully expecting to be in the 12-team field—likely with a protected seed and a home playoff game—after proving once again that Lanning’s squad wins the games it has to, exactly when it has to.
Oregon will play James Madison in the first round of the College Football Playoff on Saturday, December 20.
Texas Tech Red Raiders
In a commanding performance at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas Tech claimed their first Big 12 Championship with a 34-7 thrashing of BYU, capping a 11-2 season and earning the conference's automatic bid to the College Football Playoff as the No. 4 seed. The Red Raiders (11-2) dominated from the opening whistle, never allowing the Cougars (10-3) to find their footing in Joey McGuire's signature brand of explosive, up-tempo football.
Tech opened the scoring just 2:37 into the game when quarterback Behren Morton's 28-yard slant to Isaiah Titialii found paydirt, putting the Red Raiders up 7-0. The lead ballooned to 14-0 midway through the first quarter on Joyner's gritty 6-yard touchdown plunge after a 72-yard drive fueled by a 35-yard chunk play to Josh Kelly. BYU's only response came late in the half—a 41-yard field goal from Will Ferrin to trim the deficit to 17-3 at halftime—but Tech's defense, anchored by a swarming front four, forced a Retzlaff interception on the Cougars' next possession, setting up a quick 24-yard field goal by Chris Waters to start the third.
The second half was all Red Raiders. Morton connected with Myles Price for a 42-yard bomb touchdown early in the fourth, extending the margin to 27-3, before a 15-yard Joyner scamper sealed the rout. Tech's offense churned through 74 plays, while the defense limited BYU to 200 yards and zero red-zone trips after the first quarter.
Texas Tech will get a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff and won’t play next until the quarterfinals where they will face the winner of the game between James Madison and Oregon in the Orange Bowl on January 1.
Texas A&M Aggies
In the annual Lone Star showdown at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, Texas A&M's undefeated dreams shattered in a 27-17 rivalry loss to Texas, dropping the Aggies to 10-1 and handing the Longhorns (9-2) a crucial late-season boost. The Thanksgiving weekend clash—Texas A&M's first trip to Austin as an SEC foe—turned on turnovers and missed opportunities, as Mike Elko's squad couldn't overcome a defense that allowed 185 rushing yards.
Texas jumped ahead early with a 12-yard touchdown scamper from RB CJ Baxter on their opening drive, leading 7-0 just 5:12 in. The Aggies responded in the second quarter when Weigman hit Noah Thomas for a 36-yard strike, tying it at 7-7, but Texas quickly answered with a 45-yard field goal from Bert Auburn to reclaim the lead at 10-7 before halftime.
The third quarter flipped the script. Texas extended to 17-7 on a Quinn Ewers 22-yard dart to Isaiah Bond, but A&M clawed back with a 4-yard Moss plunge to make it 17-14. However, Weigman's second interception—picked off by safety Michael Taaffe—set up a short-field 28-yard Texas touchdown run by Jaydon Blue, pushing the margin to 24-14. A&M added a late fourth-quarter field goal from Caden Davis to cap scoring at 27-17, but a failed fourth-down conversion sealed their fate.
Texas A&M will play in the first round of the College Football Playoff as they take on Miami on Saturday, December 20.
