The Big Ten has crowned a different national champion in each of the past three seasons, meaning anyone in the conference has a chance to win it all in 2026.
Oregon enters the year as a popular pick to break through after four stellar seasons under head coach Dan Lanning. However, defending national champion Indiana returns off one of the most stunning turnarounds in recent memory and now has to prove it wasn’t a one-year fluke.
Ohio State, meanwhile, opens the season as the nation’s top-ranked team in several projection models despite a major defensive overhaul, and USC’s revamped defense under new coordinator Gary Patterson could make the Trojans one of the conference’s most intriguing wild cards.
Elsewhere, new head coaches at Michigan (Kyle Whittingham), Penn State (Matt Campbell) and Michigan State (Pat Fitzgerald) add fresh storylines to a conference that remains as top-heavy as ever.
