Sportsbook Odds on CFP Rankings, Next Coach at FSU

The latest college football polls from writers and coaches are out, but the only one that matters this week won’t be revealed until Tuesday night. 

The first CFP rankings of the season will be announced tomorrow at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN, and one sportsbook has tried to project where the committee will place certain teams. 

SportsBetting has odds for which teams will occupy each of the top four CFP spots. It also has over/under ranking positions for one-loss teams like Penn State, Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma and Utah as well as unbeaten teams in Minnesota and Baylor. 

Keep in mind, the oddsmakers don’t always get it right, but neither does the committee. And if you compare the updated national championship odds (below) to the rankings, it’s apparent that the bookmakers are trying to put themselves in the minds of the CFP committee because the top teams don’t match up. 

The site also has odds for Florida State’s next head coach, following the abrupt firing of Willie Taggert on Sunday. Iowa State’s Matt Campbell has the lowest odds, and there are two Stoops on the list.
