The 2026 College Football season kicks off August 29th in Week 0, with more than 130 FBS teams battling to win their conferences. Conference championship odds will shift all season based on wins and losses, injuries, and roster changes.

One big change this year: the Pac-12 is back. Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Colorado State, Utah State, and Texas State left their old leagues to rebuild the conference. That gives us 10 FBS conferences in 2026.

We’re tracking the odds to win each FBS conference as they change throughout the season. The page starts with the Power Four conferences (in alphabetical order), followed by the Group of Six conferences.

Power Four conference odds get updated weekly. Group of Six odds update monthly or when major changes occur.

Power Four Conferences: ACC | Big 12 | Big Ten | SEC

Group of Six Conferences: American | C-USA | MAC | Mountain West | Pac-12 | Sun Belt
