Opening College Football Playoff Odds for Every Game
The 2025 College Football Playoff is officially set!
In a season full of surprises, the final playoff bracket was no exception. Despite being ranked above Miami in every edition of the college football playoff rankings, the committee decided to leave Notre Dame on the outside looking in, swapping Miami in front of the Fighting Irish for the No. 10 spot, despite neither team playing on conference championship weekend.
Miami didn't make the ACC Championship Game, but the Hurricanes are the only team representing their conference. Duke upsetting Virginia yesterday left the Blue Devils as the No. 6-ranked conference champion due to out-of-conference losses to both UConn and Tulane. That means that there are two Group of 5 conference champions in the playoff, with Tulane out of the ACC and James Madison out of the Sun Belt.
Let's take a look at the official bracket and the opening odds for the first round.
