Oklahoma State 100-1 to win 2018 CFB National Championship
New year, same favorites. With 2017 in the books and 2018 on deck, Alabama and Clemson are the favorites once again to win it all (and why not?) with Georgia and Ohio State just behind them. Oklahoma State, which had 33-1 odds this time last year, opens at 100-1.
We’ll look first at the heavyweights.
The Favorites
Team | Odds |
---|---|
Alabama | 11-4 |
Clemson | 6-1 |
Georgia | 15-2 |
Ohio State | 15-2 |
Michigan | 9-1 |
Penn State | 11-1 |
Oklahoma | 18-1 |
Michigan? I know Shea Patterson is probably going to be immediately eligible, but the team that lost to South Carolina in a bowl game has better odds than Penn State and OU?
The Fringe Favorites
Team | Odds |
Auburn | 20-1 |
Texas | 20-1 |
Miami | 22-1 |
Wisconsin | 22-1 |
LSU | 25-1 |
Michigan State | 25-1 |
Washington | 28-1 |
Texas! Every year, it’s incredible. Also, Auburn at 20-1 with Jarrett Stidham returning is a great play. Give me all of that one.
The Darkhorses
Team | Odds |
---|---|
FSU | 33-1 |
Notre Dame | 33-1 |
Stanford | 33-1 |
Texas A&M | 33-1 |
USC | 33-1 |
Virginia Tech | 33-1 |
West Virginia | 33-1 |
Florida | 50-1 |
Oregon | 50-1 |
TCU | 50-1 |
UCLA | 75-1 |
I love the random UCLA at 75-1, which screams, “we don’t know what to do with Chip Kelly losing the No. 1 pick in the draft!” Also, if Texas A&M or Florida win it all next year, I will eat my laptop on Periscope.
The Longshots
Team | Odds |
---|---|
Arizona | 100-1 |
Boise State | 100-1 |
Kansas State | 100-1 |
Mississippi State | 100-1 |
Missouri | 100-1 |
NC State | 100-1 |
Oklahoma State | 100-1 |
UCF | 100-1 |
Utah | 100-1 |
Wake Forest | 100-1 |
Arizona is a fun bet because of Khalil Tate, UCF is fun because they’re the defending national champions and Oklahoma State is actually a good bet because it has so many weapons and a great unknown at QB. Betting on unknowns at these odds is how you should roll, even if 9-10 wins is probably the ceiling for the Pokes in 2018.
