FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt provides his Way-Too-Early Top 10 for the upcoming 2026 season, ranking the teams he believes should go into next year as the favorites in the sport. Klatt considers where to rank the defending champion Indiana Hoosiers as they begin their question for a repeat title under Curt Cignetti. Will a Big Ten team be #1 as the conference seeks its 4th straight National Championship with teams like Ohio State, Oregon and even Michigan looking to reload for 2026? Will it be Texas or Georgia as the highest ranked SEC team as Arch Manning returning to Austin surrounded by new weapons from the Transfer Portal? Is Miami's resurgence here to stay - did they make the cut in Klatt's Top 10?
