The upcoming College Football Playoff season has already sparked interest with Texas and Ohio State emerging as the early favorites to clinch the 2025-26 title. Texas, with odds at +450, is slightly ahead of Ohio State at +500, according to ESPN BET. Georgia follows closely with odds at +600. Oregon and Penn State are also in the mix, both at +750. Ohio State’s recent victory over Notre Dame in the National Championship game has set the stage for their favored status. Meanwhile, Texas is set to usher in the Arch Manning era, with Manning favored as the second choice for the Heisman Trophy. The transfer portal adds complexity to predicting outcomes, with sportsbooks adjusting their power ratings to account for changes in team rosters. Despite the preseason favorites, history shows that the betting favorite hasn’t won the championship since Alabama in 2017.
