College Football Playoff Odds 2025-26: SEC Teams Surge Following Latest CFP Rankings
Following the release of the College Football Playoff selection committee's second CFP rankings, several teams saw their College Football Playoff odds shorten.
Ohio State, Indiana, and Texas A&M remain the top three seeds in the CFP rankings, with all three programs' CFP odds pulled weeks ago. However, No. 4 seed Alabama remains on the board as a -1600 favorite to reach the College Football Playoff, with No. 5 seed Georgia (-2000) and No. 7 seed Ole Miss (-2000) the bigger favorites.
The newest rankings also led to Texas Tech (-1000), South Florida (+125), and Texas (+190) having their odds shortened, while the only ACC team to make the newest bracket, Miami (+450), remains a long shot.
