"Top-ranked Indiana's remarkable dream season ended with the Hoosiers defeating No. 10 Miami 27-21 in Monday night's CFP National Championship presented by AT&T at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The Hoosiers, who became the first FBS program to lose 700 games and had 100-to-1 odds to win a national title at the start of the season, are the first team to go 16-0 in a season in the modern era. Not surprisingly, the Hoosiers are No. 1 in the first edition of the 2026 Way-Too-Early Top 25."
"2026 outlook: After Texas Tech's No. 1-ranked transfer portal class helped it win its first outright conference title since 1955, the Red Raiders went back into the portal to reload, which figures to happen every season as long as there's natural gas and oil in the Lonestar State. Sorsby was the biggest pickup, after Tech's offense flopped in a 23-0 loss to Oregon in the CFP Quarterfinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl."
Indiana completed a 16-0 season by defeating No. 10 Miami 27-21 in the CFP National Championship at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The Hoosiers became the first FBS program to have previously lost 700 games and overcame 100-to-1 preseason odds to claim a modern-era perfect season. Indiana is ranked No. 1 in the initial 2026 Way-Too-Early Top 25, followed by Texas, Notre Dame, Georgia and Oregon. Texas Tech reloaded its roster through the transfer portal after winning its first outright conference title since 1955, adding key offensive pieces while suffering major defensive departures.
