Notre Dame Tops College Football Undefeated Contenders on Kalshi
The Fighting Irish's craving for bakery sweets shows as a cupcake schedule is on deck for the 2026 college football season. Given the weakness of Notre Dame's schedule, Kalshi has it as the most likely team to go undefeated.
Notre Dame is trading at 33% on Kalshi's undefeated CFB season market to go a perfect 12-0 in the regular-season.

At first glance, Notre Dame really only has two tests on its schedule for this season. The first comes in Week 7 on the road at BYU and the next in Week 10 at home against Miami. The remaining schedule is much lighter.
BYU went 12-2, reached the Big 12 Championship, and stayed perfect at home last season.
The Irish played Miami in the opener last season and lost 27-24. Notre Dame hosts the game this season in South Bend where they went 6-1 last year. Miami has all the momentum right now as a top National Championship contender.
Outside of the threats
Diving into the remainder of the schedule, all but Navy and SMU finished under a .500 record last season. Combined, the 10 of them went 48-75 last season.
The three Big Ten opponents in the first four weeks (Wisconsin, Purdue, and Michigan State) all finished in the bottom-four of the conference standings. Rice went 5-7 and finished 11th in the American Conference.
SMU also finished as a top-5 team in the ACC last season. North Carolina, Boston College, and Syracuse finished as the bottom three in the ACC, while Stanford finished 12th.
Early market prices
