One of the nice options that DraftKings offers when it comes to college football futures is the ability to parlay teams to make the College Football Playoff — something the majority of sportsbooks do not allow. That gives bettors the flexibility to add some favorites to a long shot shot they like, parlay a couple long shots together for a monster payout, or put some of the favorites together to make the price more reasonable. I opted for the latter with my 2026 CFP Parlay on DraftKings.
College Football Playoff Parlay Picks
After the 10-2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish missed the CFP last season, they came up with their motto for 2026 — “leave no doubt.” ND returns elite talent all over the field, and is favored in all 12 games. The only game the Irish are not a double digit favorite is when they host Miami in November — the ultimate revenge spot after last year’s loss to the Hurricanes wound up deciding both teams’ playoff fate. Maybe ND slips up in a game, but they’d need to have a disaster to miss the CFP.
Oregon is a trendy pick to win the National Championship. The Ducks were a young team in 2025, but an electric one. Oregon made a deep playoff run, and now most of that young talent returns to the 2026 team with more experience under their belts. The Ducks are a 6-point underdog at Ohio State, but favored in their other 11 games. They’d likely have to lost twice as the favorite to be kept out of the CFP field.
Kirby Smart has built the model of consistency at Georgia. Removing the shortened 2020 Covid season, Smart has led the Bulldogs to 10 or more wins in eight consecutive years. Seven of those seasons finished with 11 or more regular season wins. Three of those seasons finished a perfect 12-0. Georgia is favored in all 12 games this season, 10 of them by double digits. With one of the most experienced rosters in the country, no reason UGA’s double digit win streak would end in 2026.
