Nike Sponsors 15 of the Top 25 College Football Programs

It’s been a long seven months since we last watched NCAA football, but that’s about to change as the 2025-2026 season starts this weekend. Ahead of kick-off, the Associated Press provides rankings for the top 25 teams in the nation, and Nike schools dominate the list. Out of the top 25, 15 of them have Nike/Jordan Brand sponsorships. 8 of the top 10 rep The Swoosh, showing the powerhouse roster that the Beaverton-based brand has built.
Many of the schools have their own footwear offerings from Nike, more specifically the Nike Pegasus 41 and Nike Offcourt Slides. These dropped over the summer, but are still available in most sizes across Nike’s NCAA roster. Alongside this, there are plenty of jerseys, T-shirts, and hats to rep your favorite squad this season.
Below, we’ve rounded up all of the Nike/Jordan schools in the AP Top 25, highlighting a handful of products we thought would be perfect for the 2025-2026 NCAA campaign.
