USC enters the 2026 season with quarterback Jayden Maiava returning as the starter and substantial offensive continuity under head coach Lincoln Riley, supporting expectations for a competitive Big Ten campaign. Preseason win totals settled at 8.5 across major sportsbooks, reflecting trader consensus on a roster blending experienced skill players with an improved recruiting class and defensive staff additions. A challenging schedule that includes road games against Oregon, Penn State, and Ohio State, plus home matchups with Washington, will test depth and execution. Recent program investments in NIL and line development provide upside, though prior seasons under Riley have shown vulnerability to conference physicality and defensive inconsistencies that could cap the win total near or below the line.

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.
