BYU enters the 2026 season with elite returning production at 63 percent overall, led by sophomore quarterback Bear Bachmeier and senior running back LJ Martin after a 12-2 campaign in 2025. The Cougars open ranked No. 14 in the AP poll—their highest preseason mark since 1985—and benefit from roster retention plus additions such as transfers Kyler Kasper and Walker Lyons at skill positions. Head coach Kalani Sitake and new defensive coordinator Kelly Poppinga oversee a unit projected to remain among the Big 12’s stronger defenses. The schedule features winnable nonconference games against Utah Tech and Colorado State alongside a demanding Big 12 slate that includes home matchups versus Arizona, Iowa State, and Notre Dame plus road tests at TCU and UCF. High expectations center on a potential conference title push and College Football Playoff berth, with trader consensus reflecting the program’s recent momentum and talent depth.

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.
