The 2026 AP Top 25 preseason poll drops today at noon ET, with Ohio State leading as the favorite to win it all, followed by Notre Dame, Texas, Indiana, and Oregon. After a rocky 2025 season marked by early losses—including a shocking defeat to Ohio State—Texas is counting on Arch Manning to turn things around. Meanwhile, Ohio State, despite falling short in the Big Ten title game last year, remains a powerhouse with a returning QB/RB duo and defensive leadership. The voting process has transformed from faxed ballots to automated online rankings, awarding 25 points to the No. 1 team and just one point to the No. 25.
