Maryland enters the 2026 season under eighth-year head coach Mike Locksley with substantial roster continuity after back-to-back 4-8 campaigns, returning 71% of production overall and ranking among the nation’s leaders in experience metrics. Sophomore quarterback Malik Washington anchors the offense alongside a retooled staff featuring new offensive coordinator Clint Trickett, while the defense enters year two under Ted Monachino with 13 defenders logging 200-plus snaps and emerging contributors such as Sidney Stewart and Zahir Mathis. The nonconference slate offers favorable early opportunities after a 62-0 win over Hampton, but the Big Ten schedule features multiple road tests against upper-tier opponents and winnable home games against UCLA, Rutgers, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Trader sentiment reflects this balance of returning talent and schedule difficulty, with implied probabilities centered on a narrow range around five or six total wins.

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.
