2024 College Football Playoff Odds: Oregon State, Texas, UGA, OSU or Stadium?


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

The first round of the CFP begins Friday, when No. 10 Indiana faces No. 7 Notre Dame. On Saturday, No. 11 SMU takes on No. 6 Penn State in the first CFP game of the weekend.

Then, two candidates will 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 night. The Longhorns are currently a 12-point favorite over the Tigers, and the Buckeyes are a 7.5-point favorite over the Volunteers.

But there are possibilities beyond simple game lines.

What about Texas and Ohio State vs. Field? How about the other two favorites, Oregon and Georgia, facing off against the other top teams?

Let’s dive into the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of December 19th.

CFP Championship Game Winner – Georgia vs. Field

Georgia: +500 (bet $10 to win a total of $60)
Field: -750 (bet $10 to win $11.33 total)

CFP Championship Game Winner – Ohio State vs. Field

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

CFP Championship Game Winner – Oregon vs. Field

Field: -525 (bet $10 to win $11.90 total)

CFP Championship Game Winner – Texas vs. Field

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

As noted, the field — which includes Indiana, Notre Dame, Penn State, SMU, Clemson, Tennessee, Boise State and Arizona State — is heavily favored over the four candidates.

Of the four names at the top of the nomination board, the Ducks are the only ones who enter the playoff undefeated. They own wins over two other CFP participants in OSU and PSU.

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