Oregon State 2026 Season Preview | Win Total, Pac-12 Odds & College Football Playoff Chances

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the Oregon State Beavers 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 Oregon State Beavers roster and what to expect in the Pac-12 this season. Can first-year head coach Jamarcus Shepard turn things around after a 2-10 finish in 2025? Will transfer quarterback Maalik Murphy give new offensive coordinator Mitch Dahlen an offense that finally moves the ball? And how much can new defensive coordinator Mike McIntyre squeeze out of a defense that already graded better than the record?

Which returning starters, from tight end Gabe Milbourn to offensive linemen Nathan Elu, Josiah Timoteo and Tyler Voltin, anchor this rebuild? Can a transfer haul headlined by wide receiver Xayvion Noland and EDGE Ish Findlayter add enough juice to a class that signed zero top 300 recruits? Do defensive holdovers Takari Hickle, Jacob Schuster, Aiden Sullivan, Trey Glasper and Sailasa Vadrawale III hold up in the rebuilt Pac-12? What makes a gameday at Reser Stadium in Corvallis one of the best atmospheres in the sport, chainsaw and all? How brutal is a schedule that opens against Houston and Texas Tech before Montana comes to town? And where's the betting value on the Oregon State Beavers win total, Pac-12 odds and College Football Playoff chances? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.
