Shock Prediction: Cinderella Teams to Overturn College Football Powerhouses in 2026 Playoff
Ohio State, the No. 8 seed in the College Football Playoff, took down Tennessee, Oregon, Texas and Notre Dame en route to a national championship. It was a special run for the Buckeyes, who finished the season at 14-2, with losses to Oregon and Michigan in the regular season.
The 2026 College Football Playoff is expected to stay at 12 teams, with the same setup as last year:
- Five highest-ranked conference champions (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, along with the highest-ranked champion from the Mountain West, American Athletic Conference, Sun Belt, Mid-American Conference or Conference USA)
- The next seven highest-ranked teams
- The four highest-ranked conference champions will receive the top four seeds and a bye into the quarterfinals
- The other eight teams will play in the first round, with the higher seeds hosting games on campus
Who will the 12 teams in the 2026 College Football Playoff be?
