The Favorites

Alabama (+350): It’s not uncommon for championship winning teams to be the favorites coming out of the gate, outside of the 2019-20 LSU team that lost most of its starters. Alabama isn’t a team that takes time to rebuild, they just reload. There’s a ton of talent upcoming, including former five-star quarterback Bryce Young. The Tide aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Clemson (+400): College football is a coaching league. Talent certainly matters, but all the teams that are perennial contenders have great coaches. Clemson has one of the best in the business and with another superstar quarterback stepping up– D.J. Uiagalelei– the Tigers should find themselves right back in the CFP mix.

Georgia (+400): J.T. Daniels announced he would return to Georgia for another year, immediately putting them among the elite ranks of the coach-quarterback duos. Georgia also fields one of the best defenses in the nation, regardless of who they lose to the NFL Draft. 2020 wasn’t their year, but expect Kirby Smart to point the ship in the right direction this fall.

The Contenders

Ohio State (+600): The main concern is that superstar quarterback Justin Fields is leaving the team for the NFL, but plenty of talent remains in Columbus (Garrett Wilson, Zach Harrison). The Buckeyes are always in the conversation, but what’s lost to the NFL this year is shaking oddsmakers.

Oklahoma (+600): It was a tough start to 2020 for the Sooners, starting 1-2 for the first time in decades. Oklahoma moved on to roll the remainder of their schedule, secured the Big 12 Championship, and dominated Florida in the Cotton Bowl. Most of the roster returns, including Spencer Rattler.

The Longshots

Iowa State (+2000): Outside of the top five annual contenders, numbers and talent drop off severely. The Cyclones finished with their highest AP ranking in program history and stamped their season with an outstanding Fiesta Bowl win over Oregon. All-American back Breece Hall is back for another year, as is veteran quarterback Brock Purdy.

USC (+3000): The trend of experienced star quarterbacks returning to their teams continues with Kedon Slovis. Slovis is near the top of Heisman odds tables at almost every sportsbook and the Trojans are looking to fill their potential. A Pac-12 title game loss to Oregon was their sole loss in 2020.

Florida (+4000): Kyle Trask is gone for the NFL, but in his place steps up dual-threat Emory Jones. They still field a ton of talent, including an experienced defensive crew. The Gators will always be able to reload talent under Dan Mullen and will find themselves in the CFP conversation at the very least.

Basics of NCAA football futures

Sports betting is legal in several US States, with more legislation moving towards legalization every day. There are several sportsbooks with user-friendly apps that are available to serve as a platform for betting on NCAA futures.

The advice in this article is specified towards sports betting on sites such as DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook.

When a sport is in season, the “Futures” tab can usually be found next to the game lines. But if you want to bet on the CFP before the season starts, most books will bring you right to the Futures section.

The odds for each team are primarily indicated in two ways. Most books will list a team as a +200 favorite, indicating that a $100 bet on that team to win the national title will pay out $200 if successful.

Some books list those odds as 2/1, but the math is the same. Those books will use those odds as fractions as well. As an example, a team listed as an 11/2 favorite to win the title would pay out 5.5x the investment. That same multiplier would be listed as +550 under the other format.

These odds can change throughout the season and even during the preseason if any news surfaces about injuries, transfers, or scandals related to the athletic department or coaching staff of a program.

History and favorites

Due to the top-heavy recruiting system in place for college football programs, it is extremely rare for an unknown team to win the national title.

But Ohio State was the fourth-ranked team in the field of four when it won the 2014 CFP title.

There is some value to be found if you’re willing to bet against the consensus favorites, which are currently Clemson and Alabama. There is also value if you find the right sportsbook on which to take one of those favorites, so be sure to shop around for the best odds at online books.

When it comes time to bet the actual matchup in the College Football Playoff title game, keep in mind that the underdog had won or covered the spread in all five championships until LSU’s convincing victory in 2020. Also, five of those six title games have gone over the assigned point total.

College Football Playoff History Results & Notes

College Football Playoff Historical Notes

Ohio State, the No. 4 seed, won the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship by defeating Alabama in the semifinals and Oregon in the title game.

The Buckeyes were listed as underdogs in both games, cashing money-line odds as high as 7/2 and 2/1 in the postseason affairs. The ‘over’ went 2-1 in the 2014 College Football Playoff.

Alabama bounced back in 2015 by knocking off Michigan State and Clemson to claim its fourth national championship in the last seven seasons. The Crimson Tide failed to cover in the National Championship against the Tigers in a 45-40 victory as 6.5-point favorites.

In 2016, it was Clemson blowing past Ohio State and edging Alabama in a thrilling victory in Tampa, claiming its first title since 1981, and just the second in school history.

The 2017 national semifinals were stark on contrast.

Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma battled Georgia in the Rose Bowl, combining for 102 total points, most in the game's history. It was also the first overtime game in the Rose Bowl, as Georgia survived to move on. In New Orleans, Alabama used their suffocating defense to exact revenge on Clemson by a 24-6 score, setting up an all-SEC national title game.

Alabama rallied past Georgia in the title game in Atlanta, 26-23 in overtime as Nick Saban captured his fifth championship as head coach of the Crimson Tide. The Bulldogs picked up the cover as underdogs improved to 4-0 ATS in college football playoff championship games.

The 2018 national semifinals were a pair of blowouts, as Clemson hammered Notre Dame 30-3 and Alabama routed Oklahoma 45-34 in a game which wasn't as close as the score might indicate. Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray was no match for the runner-up, Tua Tagavailoa, who led his team back to the title game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

Alabama and Clemson exchanged early haymakers in a high-scoring first quarter, with the Tigers leading 14-13 after the first 15 minutes thanks to a missed extra point. However, the Tigers defense showed up when it mattered most and the Tigers started to some separation. They came out in the second half and capped off a 30-3 run for their second national championship in three seasons, becoming the first team in college football history to go 15-0. The underdogs moved to 5-0 ATS in college football playoff championship games, as the Tigers didn't need the 5 1/2-point spread.

Clemson got off to a quick start against LSU in the title game Jan. 13, 2020 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. However, a 17-7 lead by Clemson, the largest deficit of the season for LSU, served as a wake-up call. Heisman Trophy winning QB Joe Burrow and the LSU Tigers outscored the Clemson Tigers by a 35-8 count the rest of the way, and it was party time on Bourbon Street for the hometown side.

The national title marks the first for Louisiana native head coach Ed Orgeron, and the fourth in school history for LSU, including the second in school history in this building.

Alabama picked up its first title since 2017 in a 52-24 drubbing of Ohio State to claim the 2020 National Championship in Miami. The Crimson Tide covered for the first time in five tries in the title game since the format moved to the College Football Playoff.

Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith ripped through the Buckeyes' defense as the Crimson Tide wide receiver hauled in 12 receptions for 215 yards and three touchdowns in the win. Underdogs covered in the first five CFP championship games, but the favorites have cashed easily in the last two opportunities.
