With spring games longs in the rear-view mirror and a new season approaching, BetMGM has created new college football futures odds markets for 2026 conference championship winners.
For college football fans doing some early homework on what the 2026 season could bring, the odds can be helpful guideposts that signal early-season expectations.
But expectations aren’t everything, which is why there’s often real value available in these markets for hardcore NCAA football fans who are deep in the weeds on rosters, recruiting, and NIL infrastructure.
After all, three of last year’s power conference winners were Duke, Indiana, and Texas Tech. Who had that on their predictions sheet?

| Big 12 | Texas Tech | 50% |
