Early College Football Playoff picks for 2026: Big Ten depth, 2 elite SEC teams and some shockers

College Football Playoff picks for 2026 are the topic of this episode of The Bill and Doug Show. Yes, it's early, but it's worth it to get thoughts down before spring football gets into full swing.

A year ago, Bill and Doug did this and it wasn't great: Bill got four playoff teams right and Doug got three. But isn't understanding why you were wrong part of the battle?

This episode runs through how much deeper the Big Ten might be than the SEC, how to think about teams with big transfer classes, and what is the expected number of 2025 playoff teams that will make it back in 2026?
Plus, does the Big Ten really have three playoff locks these days?
Thanks for joining The Bill and Doug Show.
