Rutgers enters the 2026 season with a projected win total near 4.5–5.5 after finishing 5-7 in 2025. The schedule features seven home games but includes a demanding Big Ten slate with matchups against Indiana, USC, Michigan, Penn State, and others, offset slightly by the absence of Ohio State and Oregon. Key developments include the naming of Boston College transfer Dylan Lonergan as starting quarterback and the addition of a new defensive coordinator in Travis Johansen amid efforts to address last season’s defensive shortcomings. Returning offensive standouts such as running back Antwan Raymond and wide receiver KJ Duff provide continuity, while non-conference games against UMass, Boston College, and Howard represent the clearest paths to early wins. Preseason projections from ESPN FPI and others cluster around 4–7 wins, underscoring questions around depth, defensive improvement, and road performance in conference play.

Only official regular-season games count. Conference championship games, bowl games, and College Football Playoff games do not count even if the NCAA recognizes them as such. Only played games resulting in a win will count toward this total.
If the listed team plays fewer games than scheduled due to cancellation, weather, forfeit, or any other reason, only actual wins recorded count toward the total; canceled or unplayed games do not count as wins.
If the 2026 NCAA Division 1 Football regular season is cancelled, postponed after December 26, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or it cannot be determined how many wins the listed team recorded within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source will be official NCAA and conference records (https://www.ncaa.com); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
