Can Oregon Replicate '23 Michigan and '24 Ohio State?

The Big Ten is on a roll right now in the College Football Playoff. Three straight National Championships with Michigan in 2023, Ohio State in 2024, and Indiana in 2025. Will that streak continue in 2026 and will it be Oregon who finally claims the crown?

Can Oregon Replicate '23 Michigan and '24 Ohio State?

Michigan and Ohio State brought back experience and talent in 2023 and 2024 - they won championships. Will Oregon follow suit in 2026?

Rick Neuheisel predicts the Buckeyes will win the B1G conference title in 2026. A title Ohio State has not won since 2020. Who knew!

Fine with me if the championship game is a rematch of the 2025 game between Indiana and Ohio State; Oregon as the 5th or 6th seed would be perfect. Give me a 1st-round game in Autzen vs the 12th or 11th seed.

CBS Sports' 'Inside College Football' with Rick as one of the anchors is on Tuesday nights during the regular season.

In my opinion, Inside College Football is the best of the weekly CFB programs. No bias shown to one conference or another.

Although in the Big Ten Preview show, Rick noted that since CBS went B1G, the conference has won three Nattys, and some other conference once affiliated with CBS has won none. 😍
