  • 7+ wins — the market puts it at 91%, closing 20 Dec 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if the Florida college football team achieves at least seven wins during the 2026 regular season. Otherwise, it resolves to "No." Readers often mistakenly believe that bowl game wins count toward this total, but only regular-season games are included.
