In simulations of the upcoming college football season using 'College Football 27', Ohio State emerged as a leading contender, capturing 22 national championships across 100 seasons. The simulations showed the Buckeyes qualified for the College Football Playoff (CFP) 85 times, making the title game 57 times. This contrasts with last season's simulation, which predicted Penn State as the top team, resulting in coaching changes for that program. Other notable teams included Oklahoma with 17 championships and Miami with 13.
