No college football team is heavily favored to win the college football playoff.
In fact, no team is even on the minus side. That means every team pays out a higher than 1:1 rate for wagers.
Here are the odds for the top teams:
Alabama: +140
Clemson: +400
Oklahoma: +600
Auburn: +700
Miami: +800
Wisconsin: +1,200
This marks the first time that oddsmakers are really starting to see cracks in the armor of Alabama. I don’t think anybody would have had them in the plus region even a couple weeks ago. The teams being this close means that oddsmakers really don’t see much difference between the top teams, and that anything is possible at this point.
Clemson at +400 seems a shade high, but I’m loving Oklahoma at +600. That seems like an absolute steal. Absolutely worth taking the Sooners at that rate.
