2024 College Football Playoff odds: Oregon, Texas, UGA, OSU or the field?

There are 12 teams in the College Football Playoff, but four have emerged as favorites to win.

The first round of the CFP begins Friday, Dec. 20, when No. 10 Indiana takes on No. 7 Notre Dame. On Saturday, December 21st, No. 11 SMU will face No. 6 Penn State in the first CFP weekend game.

Then two of the favorites take the field that day.

No. 5 Texas will host No. 12 Clemson on Saturday night before No. 8 Ohio State hosts No. 9 Tennessee that evening. The Longhorns are currently 11-point favorites over the Tigers and the Buckeyes are 7.5-point favorites over the Volunteers.

But there are odds that go beyond simple playing lines.

How about Texas and Ohio State against the field? How about the other two favorites, Oregon and Georgia, against the best of the others?

Let’s take a look at the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of December 12th.

CFP Championship Game Winner – Georgia vs. Field

Georgia: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)
The Field: -650 (Bet $10 to win $11.54 total)

CFP Championship Game Winner – Ohio State vs. Field

Ohio State: +475 (bet $10 and win $57.50 total)
The Field: -700 (Bet $10 to win $11.43 total)

CFP Championship Game Winner – Oregon vs. Field

Oregon: +360 (bet $10 to win $46 total)
The Field: -525 (Bet $10 to win $11.90 total)

CFP Championship Game Winner – Texas vs. Field

Texas: +360 (bet $10 to win $46 total)
The Field: -525 (Bet $10 to win $11.90 total)

As previously mentioned, the field – which includes Indiana, Notre Dame, Penn State, SMU, Clemson, Tennessee, Boise State and Arizona State – is a heavy favorite over the four favorites.

Of the four names at the top of the odds, the Ducks are the only ones to enter the playoffs undefeated. They have victories over two other CFP participants in OSU and PSU.

Texas, Georgia and Ohio State each suffered two losses during the regular season. Both of Texas’ losses came at the hands of Georgia, Ohio State lost to Oregon and Michigan, and Georgia fell short to Alabama and Ole Miss.

Oregon Ducks: Did they get enough reward for being the No. 1 seed?
