**Ohio State enters the 2026 season as the clear preseason consensus No. 1 in both the AP and Coaches polls, driven by elite offensive talent including quarterback Julian Sayin and wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, plus depth across the roster after key defensive turnover.** The Buckeyes’ Big Ten schedule strength and program resources position them ahead of Oregon, Georgia, and Notre Dame in trader assessments of early-season ranking stability. Oregon’s highest-ever preseason placement and Indiana’s drop from defending champion status highlight a competitive top tier, while early nonconference results and injury updates will quickly influence poll movement. Market pricing reflects this talent and continuity edge for Ohio State amid an expanded College Football Playoff field.
