College Football Conference Title Futures for Week 11

Utah Utes (-118)

Utah is one of two remaining undefeated FBS teams and has conference wins over two top-14 teams.

Devon Dampier continues to make the case that he belongs in the Heisman Trophy conversation. He led the Utes’ offense in the win over BYU, throwing for 177 yards and 2 touchdowns, and rushing for 89 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The Utes have an offense that can lead this team, and one of the top defenses in college football. The defense ranks fourth in the country in opponents' red zone conversion rate (68.0%) and in interceptions (13), and 15th in points allowed per game (16.3).

That win over BYU might have secured their spot in the Big 12 championship.

North Texas Mean Green (+125)

Last year, North Texas was the top offense in the country, averaging 45.1 points per game. It would have been intriguing to see them in the College Football Playoff, but an unfortunate loss to Tulane in the American Conference Championship ended that chance.

The Mean Green’s biggest question coming into 2026 was how big of a hole it would leave after their star quarterback Drew Mestemaker, leading running back Caleb Hawkins, leading wide receiver Wyatt Young, and head coach Eric Morris all left for Oklahoma State. You would never have guessed this offense lost so much talent; it leads the nation in total yards per game (534.7) and ranks second in points per game (44.7). 

Quarterback Tayven Jackson is third in the country in passing yards (2,880) and seventh in passing touchdowns (23). Running back Jahiem White is third in the country in rushing yards (1,186) and fifth in rushing touchdowns (16). 

No one in the conference has been able to contain North Texas’ offense, as it’s put up 45 points or more in each conference matchup. 

The Mean Green might need a big offensive performance against UTSA, which has scored at least 31 points in six of eight games.

A win against the Roadrunners would likely put North Texas back into the conference championship. With how this offense is rolling, it’s hard to think anyone in the conference can stop them.

Georgia Bulldogs (-200)

Georgia went into their bye week after an upset loss to Auburn at home, which cost them their No. 1 ranking.

Coming off the bye, the Bulldogs have found a spark and have been impressive in their last two games. 

Georgia demolished then-No. 17 Florida 27-8, including a 24-0 run to start the game. 

Last week on the road against then-No. 10 Ole Miss, Georgia broke the hearts of everyone in Oxford as they easily took care of the Rebels 42-7, including a 35-0 run to start the game.

The Georgia defense has looked dominant over the past two games, allowing just 15 points and 504 total yards and recording nine sacks. 

Georgia hasn’t needed Gunner Stockton much because the run game has carried the team. Over the last two games, they’ve totaled 512 rushing yards and are averaging 6.5 yards per carry. 

They are getting contributions from multiple running backs; last week against Ole Miss, Nate Frazier, Bo Walker, and Dwight Phillips Jr. each averaged 6.0 yards per carry or more. The ability to rotate running backs and get production out of each is an incredible advantage.

Because it’s the SEC, the Bulldogs have two more ranked conference opponents, No. 18 Missouri at home and No. 21 South Carolina on the road, before their non-conference matchup against Georgia Tech. 

They have won three out of the last four SEC Championships, and despite the parity in the conference, the Bulldogs feel a step above everyone else.
