College Football Odds: New-Look Playoff Format Unfolds Thursday


Betting on the 2014 FBS National Champion

Since the regular season finished last summer, the college football
betting community has been salivating over the arrival of a four-team
playoff bracket. At long last, after months of grueling competition, the
new postseason is about to begin.

This Thursday, the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide will look to secure its
spot in the finals by one-upping the hungry Ohio State Buckeyes (No. 4)
in the semifinals. With a 12-1 record, it’s not surprising that the
fearsome Tide is a 9-point favorite over Ohio State for this Sugar Bowl
game. Alabama is the 11/10 favorite to win the title. The futures market
also offers an exact matchup bet for the NCAA National Championship
game, and the Alabama versus Oregon is favored with a -140 moneyline.


Oregon is scheduled to face the reigning champion Florida State
Seminoles on Thursday for a chance to contend in the final game. The
Ducks are early 9-point favorites in the matchup, but the Seminoles are
certainly capable of dealing damage.


The football world has been waiting for this week for months now, and
each of the four squads has experienced their fair share of time under
the spotlight. It’s time to see how the first year of postseason action
unfolds.

Your Complete 2014-2015 College Football Bowl Schedule, Write-ups and Opening Lines


Betting on Bowl Games and TopBet

The 2014-2015 college football bowl schedule is here, and it’s never been sweeter.


Bowl season peaks around New Year’s, and the inaugural College Football Playoff,
which will feature three teams (Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State) that
ranked in the top 20 in scoring this season, and the fourth, Florida
State, hasn’t lost a game since 2012. Of those four, two will play in
the National Championship on January 12, capping off what will be an
incredible run of great games.


But there’s so much more. The Big 12’s TCU Horned Frogs and Baylor
Bears were both left out of the Playoff for 2015, but are nonetheless
set to play in prestigious bowls. TCU gets the Ole Miss Rebels in the
Peach Bowl, a game that will be defined by the struggle between the
Frogs’ impressive passing game and Ole Miss’ elite secondary.


Baylor, in the meantime, will face one Michigan State’s exceptional
defense in the Cotton Bowl. Nonetheless, linesmakers are expecting
offense (the total is set at 72), perhaps in part because Baylor has won
its last four games by double digits.


Speaking of high scoring, Arizona meets Boise State in the Fiesta
Bowl on the last day of 2014, and Mississippi State gets Georgia Tech in
the Orange Bowl. The Fiesta Bowl could come down to turnovers, as Boise
State crippled themselves with giveaways in their two losses this
season, and Arizona has the 24th-best turnover margin in the country.
The Orange Bowl, on the other hand, will be decided on the ground, as
both sides have Top 25 rushing attacks.


All that said, you can’t go wrong if you’re watching college football
over the holidays, even outside of the big six. Dig into all the games
and their betting lines below and get ready for what should be an
incredible finish to the college football season.

With the first round of the playoffs scheduled on New Year’s Day, the
NCAA football betting community will have plenty of time to stew over
the committee’s selections.The Alabama Crimson Tide is favored to win
the championship followed by Oregon, Florida State and Ohio State. The
Tide is also the 10-point favorite in the Ohio State Buckeyes match that
will take place at the Sugar Bowl. A Sugar Bowl victory would pit them
against whichever team wins the Rose Bowl.


The Oregon Ducks are the 9.5-point favorites to beat Oregon at the
Rose Bowl. While the Ducks are heavily favored in their semifinal, they
are only 17/10 to win the College Football Championship; Alabama is 1/1 to win the title.
