College Football Spring Rankings 2026: CFN Top 25​

CFN reveals its 2026 College Football Spring Top 25, including the expectations, transfer impact, and bold predictions heading into the season.

1 Ohio State​

Ohio State was the No. 1 team at the end of the regular season, and yet 2025 didn’t represent the program’s best work. No one can touch the Buckeye superstars on offense, and the defense just brought in an NFL Combine's worth of transfers to take over.

Last year, Ohio State was almost forgotten about over the second half of the season with its relatively easy slate. This year? At Texas, Illinois, at Iowa, at Indiana, at USC, Oregon, at Nebraska, Michigan. (The 2026 season can’t get here fast enough.)

2025 Record: 12-2
CFN 2025 Preseason Rank: 4
CFN 2025 Final Rank: 4
Top Transfer In: James Smith, DT Alabama
Top Transfer Out: Quincy Porter, WR to Notre Dame
2026 Realistic Expectation: Win the national championship (and beat Michigan)

Use the sad emoje as would prefer tOSU be ranked about 8 or 9, and let them surge toward the end. At #1, there's only one place to go.....so now we're on an 0-2 record.
