Oregon Ducks predicted by CBS Sports to win 2026 national championship

CBS Sports analysts have unanimously predicted that the Oregon Ducks will win the 2026 college football national championship. During a preview of Oregon’s season opener against Boise State, analysts Damien Harris, Danny Kanell, and Kenjon Barner, along with anchor Emily Proud, all selected the Big Ten team to claim the title.

The prediction cites Oregon’s roster depth, the presence of head coach Dan Lanning, and the return of quarterback Dante Moore as key factors. While the Ducks reached the College Football Playoff semifinals last season, they were eliminated by Indiana.
