SEC Contenders in the Title Race
The SEC remains one of college football’s two powerhouse leagues, and current college football odds for the 2026‑27 national championship reflect that, even with Big Ten programs sitting at the very top of the futures board.
Georgia leads the conference around +900 on most boards, with LSU next at roughly +1200 as both programs reload with blue-chip talent and favorable paths back to the 12‑team CFP.
Texas and Texas A&M, now fully settled into SEC life, profile as live threats in the +750 and +1600 ranges, while Alabama lurks in the +1800 band as a “down year” blue blood that oddsmakers still refuse to ignore.
Big Ten and National Favorites
The 2025‑26 national title went through the Big Ten, and early 2026‑27 futures say that won’t change soon. Ohio State and defending champion Indiana sit on the first line of the market at around +650 to +700, often joined by Notre Dame and Texas as co‑favorites depending on the sportsbook.
Oregon gives the expanded Big Ten another serious threat near +850 to +900, keeping the conference at the center of every college football futures conversation.
Value Picks and Long-Shot Futures
Notre Dame continues to be priced like a true contender, typically in the +650 to +750 range thanks to a soft schedule and a built‑in path to the CFP if it finishes in the top 12.
Just behind the front line sit programs like Texas Tech (+1400) and Miami (+2000), plus SEC risers such as Texas A&M (+1600), all offering longer but still realistic odds for bettors willing to back a non‑blue‑blood or emerging power.
