2027 Early CFP Championship Favorites

Ohio State leads at +600. Notre Dame (+700) is next, with Texas at +750. Indiana and Oregon follow at +800, then Georgia (+900) and Miami (+1200).

Ohio State Buckeyes National Championship Odds

Current Odds: +600 2025 Record: 13-2 Conference: Big Ten

The Buckeyes return the best QB-WR duo in college football. Quarterback Julian Sayin threw for 3,610 yards and 32 touchdowns as a redshirt freshman, finishing fourth in Heisman voting. Receiver Jeremiah Smith caught 163 passes for 2,558 yards and 27 touchdowns across his first two seasons.

Ohio State returns 12 starters (8 on offense, 4 on defense) and added impact defenders through the portal. The schedule is brutal with road games at Texas, Indiana, Iowa, and USC.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish National Championship Odds

Current Odds: +700 2025 Record: 11-2 Conference: Independent

The Irish have the easiest path among favorites. Quarterback CJ Carr completed 66% of his passes for 2,741 yards and 24 touchdowns as a redshirt freshman. He also leads our Heisman Trophy odds, so the year-two hype is real.

Notre Dame’s schedule creates a clear path to an undefeated or one-loss regular season. Marcus Freeman’s defense held its final nine opponents to 17 points or fewer in 2025. The Nov. 7 trip to Miami is the season’s biggest test.

Texas Longhorns National Championship Odds

Current Odds: +750 2025 Record: 10-3 Conference: SEC

Arch Manning enters 2026 looking to bounce back after a season that saw Texas miss the playoff. Manning threw for 2,942 yards and 24 touchdowns while adding rushing scores. The bettors like the rebound: Texas draws 10.1% of tickets and 13.8% of the money at BetMGM.

Texas addressed offensive gaps through the portal. Auburn transfer Cam Coleman brings elite receiving talent. Raleek Brown and five-star Derrek Cooper upgrade the backfield. Manning had minor foot surgery in January but should be ready for fall camp.

Indiana Hoosiers National Championship Odds

Current Odds: +750 2025 Record: 16-0 Conference: Big Ten

The defending champs won’t sneak up on anyone this time. Indiana’s run from 100-to-1 longshots to national champions was one of the great underdog stories in the sport’s history.

Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza left for the NFL after throwing 41 touchdowns. Curt Cignetti landed TCU transfer Josh Hoover, college football’s leading returning passer with 9,629 career yards and 71 touchdowns. The defense allowed just 9.3 points and 219.1 yards per game in 2025, the best marks in the country.

Oregon Ducks National Championship Odds

Current Odds: +800 2025 Record: 13-2 Conference: Big Ten

Quarterback Dante Moore is back after throwing for 3,565 yards and 32 total touchdowns while completing 72% of his passes. The entire starting defensive line also returns, giving Dan Lanning one of the nation’s best fronts. Plenty of sharps call the Ducks the best value in the top tier.

CFP National Championship History

The College Football Playoff era began in 2014-15, replacing the BCS system with a four-team format. Starting in 2024-25, the playoff expanded to 12 teams.

Alabama dominated the CFP era with three titles (2015-16, 2017-18, 2020-21), while Clemson captured two (2016-17, 2018-19). Georgia won back-to-back titles in 2021-22 and 2022-23. Michigan won in 2023-24, Ohio State in 2024-25, and Indiana claimed the 2025-26 crown.

Indiana became the first team to go 16-0 and win a national championship since 1897 Penn. The Big Ten has now won three straight national championships (Michigan 2023-24, Ohio State 2024-25, Indiana 2025-26). See the current odds to make the College Football Playoff in our tracker.
