Oklahoma surged back into the top tier after a decisive win, while Ohio State maintained its stronghold at the top of the rankings.</p>
<p>Other notable movements included teams jockeying for playoff positioning, with programs like Georgia, Texas A&amp;M, Ole Miss, and Indiana continuing to solidify their cases for a postseason berth.</p>
<p>The latest <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6812184/2025/11/16/ap-top-25-rankings-alabama-north-texas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AP college football rankings</a> reflect the intensity of late-season matchups, where every victory or loss carries heightened significance.</p>
<ol>
<li>Ohio State (57)</li>
<li>Indiana (8)</li>
<li>Texas A&amp;M (1)</li>
<li>Georgia</li>
<li>Ole Miss</li>
<li>Texas Tech</li>
<li>Oregon</li>
<li>Oklahoma</li>
<li>Notre Dame</li>
<li>Alabama</li>
<li>BYU</li>
<li>Vanderbilt</li>
<li>Utah</li>
<li>Miami</li>
<li>Georgia Tech</li>
<li>USC</li>
<li>Texas</li>
<li>Michigan</li>
<li>Virginia</li>
<li>Tennessee</li>
<li>James Madison</li>
<li>North Texas</li>
<li>Missouri</li>
<li>Tulane</li>
<li>Houston</li>
</ol>
<h3>Key Highlights from the Rankings</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ohio State remains No. 1, showcasing dominance on both sides of the ball.</li>
<li>Georgia jumped Alabama, after the Crimson Tide loss to the Sooners.</li>
<li>Oklahoma climbed significantly after defeating Alabama.</li>
<li>Texas A&amp;M and Indiana stayed firmly in contention.</li>
</ul>
<h2>12 Team Playoff System</h2>
<p>The new 12-team College Football Playoff expands the postseason field, giving more programs a shot at the national title.</p>
<p>Introduced in the 2024 season and continuing into 2025–26, the format includes the five highest-ranked conference champions, who earn automatic bids, plus the following seven highest-ranked teams. The top four seeds receive first-round byes, while teams ranked 5–12 face off in opening-round games hosted at the higher seed’s campus, creating an exciting mix of home-field advantage and playoff intensity.</p>
<h2>18+ Offshore Sportsbooks</h2>
<p>For fans following these rankings with a wagering interest, it’s important to note that <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/">legal sports betting in the United States</a> varies by state, with most domestic books requiring bettors to be 21 or older. However, many offshore sportsbooks accept players as young as 18. These platforms often provide competitive odds, early lines on college football matchups, and unique betting markets not always available domestically.</p>
<p>While <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/">18+ College football betting sites</a> can be appealing to younger bettors, users should exercise caution. These sportsbooks operate outside U.S. regulatory oversight, meaning protections and dispute-resolution processes may differ from those of licensed operators. Responsible play is essential, and bettors should weigh the risks before engaging with offshore options.</p>The post <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/news/ap-top-25-college-football-rankings-week-13-overview/">AP Top 25 College Football Rankings – Week 13 Overview</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com">Sports Betting 18</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2025-26 NCAA College Football season begins on August 23rd, and online sportsbooks are geared up and ready with a fleet of odds and futures for the champions of the Power 4 conferences and the CFP Title Game.</p>
<p>Can the Ohio State Buckeyes repeat as CFP National Champions? Will the winner come from a program not associated with the Big Ten or the SEC? Today, we have a look at what the odds are suggesting at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/">online college football betting sites</a> and offer our predictions and a few sleepers as well.</p>
<h3>2025 Big Ten Conference Championship Odds</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ohio State +200</li>
<li>Penn State +240</li>
<li>Oregon +300</li>
<li>Michigan +850</li>
<li>USC +2000</li>
<li>Iowa +3500</li>
<li>Nebraska +3500</li>
<li>Illinois +3500</li>
<li>Indiana +4000</li>
<li>Washington +6000</li>
<li>Minnesota +10000</li>
<li>Michigan State +12500</li>
<li>Wisconsin +15000</li>
<li>UCLA +17500</li>
<li>Rutgers +20000</li>
<li>Maryland +30000</li>
<li>Northwestern +30000</li>
<li>Purdue +30000</li>
</ul>
<p>The Buckeyes currently hold the lead in the latest preseason Big Ten odds but are closely trailed by Penn State and Oregon. Michigan is a distant fourth, and the moneyline odds for fifth and beyond are separated by over a thousand.</p>
<p>Much like last season, selecting a winner with so many powerhouses involved is difficult, but we do like Michigan as a sleeper to win the Conference.</p>
<h3>2025 SEC Conference Championship Odds</h3>
<ul>
<li>Texas +275</li>
<li>Georgia +300</li>
<li>Alabama +400</li>
<li>LSU +700</li>
<li>Mississippi +2000</li>
<li>Texas A&amp;M +1600</li>
<li>Florida +1800</li>
<li>Tennessee +2800</li>
<li>Oklahoma +2200</li>
<li>Auburn +2800</li>
<li>South Carolina +3000</li>
<li>Missouri +6000</li>
<li>Arkansas +15000</li>
<li>Kentucky +30000</li>
<li>Vanderbilt +30000</li>
<li>Mississippi State +30000</li>
</ul>
<p>Just like the Big Ten, the SEC appears to be a three-dog race in 2025-26. The Texas Longhorns hold the best chances of winning the SEC, with Georgia and Alabama right behind them. The LSU Tigers seem to represent the final team with any prayer of hoisting the SEC Championship Trophy this December.</p>
<p>We do like the Florida Gators as a sleeper at +1800 now that <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45886666/florida-qb-dj-lagway-returns-practice-following-calf-injury" target="_blank" rel="noopener">QB DJ Lagway</a> is expected to be ready for the season opener.</p>
<h3>2025 ACC Conference Championship Odds</h3>
<ul>
<li>Clemson EVEN</li>
<li>Miami Florida +380</li>
<li>Louisville +850</li>
<li>SMU +900</li>
<li>Georgia Tech +1400</li>
<li>Duke +2500</li>
<li>Florida State +2600</li>
<li>North Carolina +4500</li>
<li>NC State +4500</li>
<li>Pittsburgh +4500</li>
<li>Virginia Tech +4000</li>
<li>Syracuse +6000</li>
<li>Boston College +8000</li>
<li>Virginia +8000</li>
<li>California +10000</li>
<li>Wake Forest +30000</li>
<li>Stanford +30000</li>
</ul>
<p>The Clemson Tigers are 280 points ahead of the Miami Hurricanes in the preseason ACC futures. We believe either Clemson or Miami will get it done, but like the SMU Mustangs as a sleeper at +900.</p>
<h3>2025 Big 12 Conference Championship Odds</h3>
<ul>
<li>Kansas State +550</li>
<li>Utah +550</li>
<li>Arizona State +600</li>
<li>Baylor +700</li>
<li>Texas Tech +550</li>
<li>TCU +850</li>
<li>Iowa State +1200</li>
<li>Kansas +1400</li>
<li>BYU +2200</li>
<li>Cincinnati +2800</li>
<li>Colorado +2800</li>
<li>Houston +3000</li>
<li>Arizona +3500</li>
<li>Oklahoma State +5000</li>
<li>UCF +5500</li>
</ul>
<p>There is a six-team logjam at the top of the Big 12 odds to win, with Kansas State, Itah, and Texas Tech sharing the lead at +550. Due to the dominance of the Big Ten and SEC, there&#8217;s a chance that only one Big 12 team will make it to <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/playoffs/">the CFP</a>.</p>
<h3>2025-2026 NCAAF Championship Odds</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ohio State +500</li>
<li>Texas +500</li>
<li>Georgia +650</li>
<li>Penn State +750</li>
<li>Oregon +1000</li>
<li>Alabama +1000</li>
<li>Clemson +1000</li>
<li>Notre Dame +1200</li>
<li>LSU +1600</li>
<li>Michigan +2500</li>
<li>Florida +3000</li>
<li>Miami FL +3500</li>
<li>Texas A&amp;M +3500</li>
<li>Ole Miss +4000</li>
<li>South Carolina +5000</li>
<li>Oklahoma +5000</li>
<li>Tennessee +5000</li>
<li>USC +8000</li>
<li>Auburn +6000</li>
</ul>
<p>The top six positions in the CFP futures offered at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/betus/">BetUS</a> are members of the SEC and the Big Ten. We&#8217;re locking in the Alabama Crimson Tide at 10-to-1 as our sleeper pick of the preseason.</p>The post <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/news/2025-26-college-football-playoffs-and-conference-betting-preview/">2025-26 College Football Playoffs And Conference Betting Preview</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com">Sports Betting 18</a>.]]></content:encoded>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Next Monday night at 7:30 p.m. in Atlanta&#8217;s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Ohio State Buckeyes will play for this year&#8217;s CFP National Championship. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. <a class="mh-excerpt-more" href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/news/cfp-national-championship-betting-preview-notre-dame-vs-ohio-state/" title="CFP National Championship Betting Preview: Notre Dame vs. Ohio State">[...]</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Next Monday night at 7:30 p.m. in Atlanta&#8217;s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Ohio State Buckeyes will play for this year&#8217;s CFP National Championship. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.</p>
<p>Notre Dame has won 11 college football national championships since they first began play in 1887, with their last coming 36 years ago in 1988 when Lou Holtz was the head coach.</p>
<p>Ohio State has 8 national titles, and are heavily favored to win their 9th just seven days from now.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/">Online college football betting sites</a> have posted lines for the big game that favor OSU by a range of -8.0 to -8.5 points.</p>
<h2>2024-45 CFP National Championship Betting Line</h2>
<h4>Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish</h4>
<ul>
<li>Ohio State Point Spread: -8.0 (-105)</li>
<li>Ohio State Moneyline: -360</li>
<li>Notre Dame Point Spread: +8.0</li>
<li>Notre Dame Moneyline: +280</li>
<li>Over: 46.0 (-110)</li>
<li>Under: 46.0 (-110)</li>
</ul>
<p>Notre Dame has had a relatively easy path to the CFP finals when compared to OSU. In the first round, Notre Dame beat the Indiana Hoosiers 27-17, dispatching a program that was playing above their heads all season.</p>
<p>In the second round, the Irish beat the Georgia Bulldogs who were without their starting quarterback. They beat the Bulldogs by a final score of 23-10.</p>
<p>In the semifinals, ND faced Penn State, their toughest opponent yet in <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/playoffs/">the College Football Playoffs</a>. The Irish narrowly escaped thanks to a late interception thrown by PSU quarterback Drew Allar.</p>
<p>The Buckeyes had arguably the toughest road of any team to make it to the CFP Finals. In the first round, they drew the Tennessee Volunteers and dispatched them by a score of 42-17.</p>
<p>In the second round they had to play the Big Ten Champion Oregon Ducks, a then undefeated team that was ranked number one in the nation. The Buckeyes blew the doors off the Ducks 41-21.</p>
<p>In the semifinals, OSU faced the Texas Longhorns, a team that many <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/">online sportsbooks</a> suggested would win it all before the CFP began. Ohio State won that contest 28-14.</p>
<p>Can Notre Dame&#8217;s run-heavy attack keep pace with Ohio State? Fighting Irish head coach Marcus Freeman believes that will be the key to winning the game.</p>
<blockquote><p>“For us, we have to be able to run the football, and we’ve got to find ways to do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>ND Head Coach Marcus Freeman</p></blockquote>
<p>Ohio State will continue to throw the ball downfield, with coach Ryan Day allegedly removing screen passes from the playbook.</p>
<blockquote><p>“I actually said to the coaches, we&#8217;re going to stop doing screen drill because we don&#8217;t call any dang screens.”</p>
<p>Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day</p></blockquote>
<p>This game will also represent the first time either program has played 16 times during the same season.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The CFP has entered the quarterfinals with four games happening tomorrow and Wednesday. Lines are posted now for CFP betting, as well as futures that are taking action on the eventual National Champion.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The CFP has entered the quarterfinals with four games happening tomorrow and Wednesday. Lines are posted now for <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/playoffs/">CFP betting</a>, as well as futures that are taking action on the eventual National Champion.</p>
<p>Tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m., the second round of the college football playoffs will begin with a matchup of Penn State and Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.</p>
<h3>Penn State (#6) vs. Boise State (#3)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Spread: Nittany Lions -11.5 (-105), Broncos +11.5 (-115)</li>
<li>Moneyline: Nittany Lions -480, Broncos +350</li>
<li>Over: 53.0 (-110)</li>
<li>Under: 53.0 (-110)</li>
</ul>
<p>Boise State has only lost one game this season, and it was by one point to the top team in the nation &#8211; the Oregon Ducks. Still, college football sportsbooks have no confidence in BSU and have rated them as an 11.5-point underdog for tomorrow&#8217;s game.</p>
<p>Whoever advances to the CFP semifinals will get to play the winner between Notre Dame and Boise State in the Orange Bowl.</p>
<p>On New Year&#8217;s Day at 1 p.m., Texas and Arizona will face off in the Paech Bowl.</p>
<h3>Texas (#5) vs. Arizona State (#4)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Spread: Longhorns -13.0 (-105), Sun Devils +13.0 (-115)</li>
<li>Moneyline: Longhorns -490, Sun Devils +355</li>
<li>Over: 51.0 (-110)</li>
<li>Under: 51.0 (-110)</li>
</ul>
<p>The Texas Longhorns, despite not winning the SEC, are the top-rated program in the CFP futures. The are projected to beat Arizona State by 13 or more points on Wednesday, and the winner will play in the Orange Bowl against Oregon or Ohio State on January 9th at 7:30 p.m.</p>
<p>Later on January 1st at 5 p.m., two Big Ten giants, Ohio State and Oregon, will meet in the Rose Bowl.</p>
<h3>Ohio State (#8) vs. Oregon (#1)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Spread: Buckeyes -2.0 (-110), Ducks +2.0 (-110)</li>
<li>Moneyline: Buckeyes -125, Ducks +105</li>
<li>Over: 55.5 (-110)</li>
<li>Under: 55.5 (-110)</li>
</ul>
<p>The Buckeyes blew a chance to make it to the Big Ten Championship when they lost their season finale to their arch-rival, the Michigan Wolverines. Now, OSU fans get a chance to knock off the Big Ten Champions and move on the semifinals, and they&#8217;re favored by 2 points at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/">18+ sportsbook sites</a>.</p>
<p>The winner of this game will face either Texas or Arizona State in the Orange Bowl.</p>
<p>Capping off the second round of the CFP at 8:45 p.m. is the Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl.</p>
<h3>Notre Dame (#7) vs. Georgia (#2)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Spread: Irish +1.5 (-110), Georgia -1.5 (-110)</li>
<li>Moneyline: Irish EVEN, Georgia -120</li>
<li>Over: 45.0 (-110)</li>
<li>Under: 45.0 (-110)</li>
</ul>
<p>The Fighting Irish would&#8217;ve finished undefeated if not for a fluke loss to Northern Illinois in early September. The Bulldogs will be without their starting quarterback on Wednesday, but the oddsmakers still favor them to narrowly beat Notre Dame by 1.5 points.</p>
<p>The victor will play in the Cotton Bowl on Friday, January 10th, at 7:30 p.m.</p>
<h3>2024-25 CFP Futures</h3>
<ul>
<li>Texas (#5) +300</li>
<li>Ohio State (#8) +350</li>
<li>Oregon (#1) +400</li>
<li>Notre Dame (#7) +500</li>
<li>Penn State (#6) +500</li>
<li>Georgia (#2) +525</li>
<li>Boise State (#3) +3000</li>
<li>Arizona State (#4) +5000</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://collegefootballplayoff.com/news/2024/6/5/2425-schedule.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The CFP schedule</a> hasn&#8217;t exactly played out in the Longhorns&#8217; favor, but they do have a bit of a layup in the second round.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first rankings issued by the College Football Playoffs Committee will be released on November 5th, the same day the United States will elect the next President.</p>
<p>There are four weekends of college football remaining until those initial CFP rankings are dropped. Three major games are going down this Saturday, which will shape how those rankings are crafted in one month&#8217;s time.</p>
<h3>Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Oregon Ducks</h3>
<ul>
<li>Point Spread: OSU -4.0 (-110), ORE +4.0 (-110)</li>
<li>Moneyline: OSU -185, ORE +160</li>
<li>Over: 52.5 (-110)</li>
<li>Under: 52.5 (-110)</li>
</ul>
<p>The Ohio State Buckeyes are now the second-ranked team in the AP Top 25 after being leapfrogged by the Texas Longhorns. Ohio State travels to Eugene, Oregon, this Saturday to face the third-ranked Ducks.</p>
<p>Oregon and Ohio State are 5-0 overall with 2-0 records in the Big Ten. The winner of this game will get the early edge on what could be the Conference&#8217;s only CFP berth.</p>
<p>The Buckeyes and Ducks kick off at noon. Ohio State is favored to win by 4 at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/">NCAA Football sportsbooks</a>.</p>
<h3>Mississippi Bulldogs vs. LSU Tigers</h3>
<ul>
<li>Point Spread: MISS -3.0 (EVEN), LSU +3.0 (-120)</li>
<li>Moneyline: MISS -145, LSU +125</li>
<li>Over: 64.0 (-110)</li>
<li>Under: 64.0 (-110)</li>
</ul>
<p>The LSU Tigers are ranked 13th, and while they dropped their opener to the USC Trojans 27-20, they remain undefeated in the SEC. Saturday at 7:30 PM, the Tigers will host the 9th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels, who enter the game with a record of 5-1 overall and 1-1 in the SEC.</p>
<p>Miss lost to Kentucky 20-17 two weekends ago. Only three SEC programs remain with undefeated in-conference records &#8211; LSU, the Texas A&amp;M Aggies, and the newly top-ranked Texas Longhorns.</p>
<p>Preseason odds for <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/playoffs/">betting on the College Football Playoffs</a> suggest that at least five SEC teams could qualify, leaving plenty of room for one-loss teams like the Bulldogs and potentially LSU.</p>
<p>The latest line on the game favors Ole Miss on the road by 3 points.</p>
<h3>Iowa State Cyclones vs. West Virginia Mountaineers</h3>
<ul>
<li>Point Spread: ISU -3.0 (-110), WV +3.0 (-110)</li>
<li>Moneyline: ISU -150, WV +130</li>
<li>Over: 51.0 (-110)</li>
<li>Under: 51.0 (-110)</li>
</ul>
<p>The 11th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones face the Mountaineers in West Virginia with a kickoff set for 8:00 PM. ISU is 5-0 and 2-0 in the Big 12.</p>
<p>WV is unranked, and while they&#8217;re undefeated at 2-0 in Big 12 play, they&#8217;re 3-2 overall. Their two losses have been quality, however. The Mountaineers lost the season opener to Penn State and a heartbreaker to Pittsburgh on September 14th.</p>
<p>The Cyclones are favored to win by a field goal in Morgantown.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once the August temperatures get so high that you can smell the grass burning on your lawn, you know it&#8217;s time for some college football. On Saturday, there are two NCAA Football games on the schedule to serve as an appetizer for the real first Saturday of action coming up on August 31st.</p>
<p>Starting things off at noon is a battle of Atlantic Coast Conference rivals who crossed the Atlantic to play in Dublin, Ireland. Dating back to 1988, college football has experimented with games played in Ireland.</p>
<p>It was first known as the Emerald Classic and is now dubbed the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. This year, FSU will play the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets, a team that the Seminoles haven&#8217;t gone up against since October of 2022.</p>
<h2>Florida State Seminoles (#10) @ Georgia Tech Yellowjackets</h2>
<ul>
<li>Point Spread: FSU -10.5, Tech +10.5</li>
<li>Moneyline: FSU -440, Tech +330</li>
<li>Over/Under: 55.5</li>
</ul>
<p>The kickoff is set for Saturday at noon, and FSU is favored to best the Yellowjackets by 10.5 points at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/">college football betting sites</a>. Florida State is known for early season struggles, even during the best of times.</p>
<p>The Noles will start DJ Uiagalelei at quarterback, a journeyman who has had stints at Clemson and Oregon State. FSU needed an answer after Jordan Travis was drafted by the New York Jets, and all other potential starters entered the transfer portal.</p>
<p>Uiagalelei needed a legitimate home following the implosion of the Pac-12, and Tallahassee does seem like the perfect fit. <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/playoffs/">CFP sportsbooks</a> predict that FSU will become the ACC Champions and qualify for the 12-team playoffs.</p>
<h2>SMU Mustangs @ Nevada Wolf Pack</h2>
<ul>
<li>Point Spread: SMU -25.0, Nevada +25.0</li>
<li>Moneyline: SMU -2500, Nevada +1150</li>
<li>Over/Under: 56.5</li>
</ul>
<p>The second game of opening Saturday kicks off at 8:00 PM, and the Southern Methodist University Mustangs are projected to roll the Nevada Wolf Pack in Reno, NV&#8217;s Mackay Stadium.</p>
<p>The Wolf Pack are expected to do well in the Mountain West this season but are forecasted for a 25-point whooping at home this weekend.</p>
<p>The Mustangs will play their first ACC opponent on Saturday, September 28th, when they invite FSU into Gerald J. Ford Stadium. There is a very good chance that both teams will be undefeated entering that contest, as neither faces any top-ranked programs between now and then.</p>
<p>Based on the preseason betting odds for the <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/championship/">CFP National Championship</a>, SMU isn&#8217;t expected to compete for a spot in the playoffs. Despite that outlook, both teams should be ranked in the top 25 come the 28th if neither has a loss on their record.</p>
<p>Of course, both of these contests are just a mere sampling of what&#8217;s coming up, as all programs will have a game in the books no later than August 31st.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The NCAA Football Bowl Game season is nearing its completion as all but one will remain once January 1&#8217;s contests conclude. The New Year&#8217;s Six Bowl Games will take up most of the oxygen at <a class="mh-excerpt-more" href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/news/ncaa-bowl-game-betting-2023-24/" title="New Year&#8217;s Day College Football Bowl Game Betting At 18+ Sportsbooks">[...]</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/bowl-games/">NCAA Football Bowl Game season</a> is nearing its completion as all but one will remain once January 1&#8217;s contests conclude. The New Year&#8217;s Six Bowl Games will take up most of the oxygen at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/">18+ college football sportsbooks</a> for the next three days, and there are some unusually large point spreads being offered.</p>
<h3>The Orange Bowl</h3>
<p>We&#8217;re talking about this game first for two reasons. First, both Florida State and Georgia have built resumes deserving of placement in the 2023-24 College Football Playoffs, but the selecting body chose Texas instead.</p>
<p>The Seminoles are the first undefeated Power 5 conference champion to miss the CFP in the final year the Selection Committee will have to make a decision that matters. Following next season, the playoffs will expand to 12 teams.</p>
<p>Have a look at the current CFP rankings. Anyone listed ninth or beyond has no business competing for a College Football National Championship, and that&#8217;s the case most seasons. There will be no future uproar for a 2-loss, 13th-ranked team that was excluded.</p>
<p>The second reason we&#8217;re highlighting this contest is due to the 19.5-point spread. The Bulldogs are expected to blow out FSU because several of the best Seminoles players are sitting out the Orange Bowl to avoid risking injury in a game that doesn&#8217;t mean anything.</p>
<p>This entire scenario has been a disgrace to FSU fans, the Orange Bowl, and college football in general.</p>
<h3>The Sugar Bowl</h3>
<p>Alabama and Michigan are the top two teams favored to win it all at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/playoffs/">CFP betting sites</a>. That means whoever wins the Sugar Bowl will be favored to beat the winner between Texas and Washington in the Rose Bowl.</p>
<p>The Wolverines are favored to win by two points on Monday.</p>
<h3>The Rose Bowl</h3>
<p>The Texas Longhorns are favored by four over the undefeated Pac-12 champions, the Washington Huskies. No team has managed to beat Michael Penix Jr. and the Huskies so far this season, and Texas has already proven fallable with their loss to Oklahoma.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be surprised to see Washington cover. The Huskies could win outright, but covering is the safer bet. When it comes to <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/championship/">betting on the CFP National Championship</a>, we wouldn&#8217;t lay any action on either of these teams winning the whole thing.</p>
<h3>The Fiesta Bowl</h3>
<p>Due to next year&#8217;s conference-friendly rules for CFP inclusion, seeing teams like the Liberty Flames competing for a championship could become the norm. The Oregon Ducks are favored by -16.5 over Liberty, and we don&#8217;t expect this game to be competitive.</p>
<h3>The Cotton Bowl</h3>
<p>This contest between Ohio State and Missouri will also be heavily impacted by several players opting out. This time it is the Buckeyes who will be relying on a few second-teamers, but they are still three-point favorites over the Tigers.</p>
<p>Outside of FSU and Georgia, OSU has the next-best argument for being included in the playoffs. They lost to the best team in the country on the road by six points on the final day of the regular season and finished 11-1.</p>
<h3>The Peach Bowl</h3>
<p>Penn State is favored by five against Ole Miss on Monday. The Peach Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl feature teams that have no righteous claim to a CFP berth. Once again, this bowl game will feature several opt-outs, so tune in at your own risk.</p>

The post <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/news/outside-of-texas-and-alabama-who-is-happy-with-this-cfp-decision/">Outside Of Texas And Alabama, Who Is Happy With This CFP Decision?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com">Sports Betting 18</a>.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Florida State Seminoles entered Saturday&#8217;s ACC Championship Game as the fourth-ranked team in the country, according to the College Football Playoffs Selection Committee.</p>
<p>Even though the Noles were down to their third-string quarterback, redshirt freshman Brock Glenn, they still beat the 14th-ranked Louisville Cardinals and covered the two-point spread offered at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/">18+ college football betting sites</a>.</p>
<p>The win brings FSU to 13-0 overall and poised to enter the CFP as the third or fourth seed. The CFP Selection Committee saw things differently and opted to include the Texas Longhorns and Alabama Crimson Tide as the third and fourth seeds.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no doubt that both Texas and Alabama have put together a resume worthy of consideration by the committee.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s also without doubt is that the committee decided to inject speculation and personal bias into the selection process, projecting what might happen rather than basing decisions on what&#8217;s already been proven.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s additionally maddening is the forthcoming 12-team College Football Playoffs format that is being installed a season too late. If it were active this year, the committee may have left things alone and granted the Noles the three seed that they earned.</p>
<h2>Why Florida State Should Have Made The CFP</h2>
<p>We&#8217;ve already stated that an undefeated Power Five Conference champion has never missed the <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/playoffs/">College Football Playoffs</a>. For some reason, this carried less weight than the SEC Champion being included when both standards should have presided.</p>
<p>The outlier is clearly the Texas Longhorns. How does the 7th-ranked team climb to number 3 by beating the 22nd-best team in the country? It doesn&#8217;t happen unless the committee drastically changes its mind about something.</p>
<p>The Alabama win over Georgia in the SEC Championship Game started this ball rolling. Once it became clear that the SEC Champion would be a part of the four-team playoff, the fact that Alabama had lost to Texas became a problem.</p>
<p>The Longhorns beat the Crimson Tide by 10 at Bryant-Denney Stadium, so fairness would dictate that Texas would also make it as a one-loss team. The Texas loss to Oklahoma at home didn&#8217;t put enough of a dent in their resume to keep them out.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that FSU held Louisville to their lowest point total of the year when they only allowed six points in the ACC Championship Game. That defensive presence alone should have given committee members confidence that they could hang with the best of the SEC, Big Ten, and Pac-12.</p>
<p>Football is a team sport where the championship results should be decided on the field. NCAA Football has opted out of that logic and continues to operate under a playoff plan that isn&#8217;t corruption-proof.</p>
<p>It is the only major sport where non-players have any say as to how the championship will be decided, and that will continue after the 12-team format is installed.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2023-24 NCAA Football regular season comes to a close this weekend as all major college football conference winners will be decided on Friday and Saturday. <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/">18+ college football betting sites</a> are ready with game lines for each matchup, granting insight into which teams have the best shot at moving on to the CFP.</p>
<h2>Pac-12 Championship Odds</h2>
<h3>Oregon Ducks (#6) vs. Washington Huskies (#4)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ducks Point Spread: -10.0</li>
<li>Ducks Moneyline: -380</li>
<li>Huskies Point Spread: +10.0</li>
<li>Huskies Moneyline: +290</li>
<li>Over/Under: 66.0</li>
</ul>
<p>Friday night at 8:00 p.m., the Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies face off in the Pac-12 Championship Game in Las Vegas, Nevada&#8217;s Allegiant Stadium. On October 14th, the Huskies beat the Ducks by a final score of 36-33.</p>
<p>For the rematch, Oregon is favored to win by ten points. Ducks QB Bo Nix has a lot to do with that, and he is also the favorite in the current Heisman odds. The winner of this game has a solid chance of making it into the <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/playoffs/">College Football Playoffs</a>, but it isn&#8217;t guaranteed.</p>
<h2>Big 12 Championship Odds</h2>
<h3>Oklahoma State (#20) vs. Texas Longhorns (#7)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Cowboys Point Spread: +15.0</li>
<li>Cowboys Moneyline: +500</li>
<li>Longhorns Point Spread: -15.0</li>
<li>Longhorns Moneyline: -750</li>
<li>Over/Under: 55.5</li>
</ul>
<p>The 2023-24 Big 12 Championship will be decided on Saturday at noon at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Longhorns are favored by over two touchdowns and should have no problem winning the Big 12 Championship.</p>
<p>Texas would need loads of help to reach the playoffs, but it isn&#8217;t out of the realm of possibility.</p>
<h2>SEC Championship Odds</h2>
<h3>Georgia Bulldogs (#1) vs. Alabama Crimson Tide (#8)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Georgia Point Spread: -6.5</li>
<li>Georgia Moneyline: -235</li>
<li>Alabama Point Spread: +6.5</li>
<li>Alabama Moneyline: +195</li>
<li>Over/Under: 54.5</li>
</ul>
<p>Atlanta, Georgia&#8217;s Mercedes Benz Stadium will host the 2023-24 SEC Championship Game between the two-time defending National Champions, the Georgia Bulldogs, against Nick Saban&#8217;s Alabama Crimson Tide.</p>
<p>The game is set for a 4:00 p.m. kickoff, and oddsmakers are siding with the Bulldogs for the win by just under a TD. If Alabama wins, they will throw a significant wrinkle into the <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/college-football/championship/">CFP National Championship betting</a> picture.</p>
<p>The winner is automatically qualified for the CFP, but if the loser is Georgia, it&#8217;ll be hard to keep a one-loss Bulldogs team out of the final four.</p>
<h2>ACC Championship Odds</h2>
<h3>Louisville Cardinals (#10) vs. Florida State Seminoles (#5)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Louisville Point Spread: +2.0</li>
<li>Louisville Moneyline: EVEN</li>
<li>Seminoles Point Spread: -2.0</li>
<li>Seminoles Moneyline: -120</li>
<li>Over/Under: 48.5</li>
</ul>
<p>This year&#8217;s ACC Championship Game will be played at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Kickoff is set for 8:00 p.m., and the Seminoles hold a slim two-point edge in the spread.</p>
<p>If the Seminoles win, they&#8217;ll finish undefeated with a decent shot at the playoffs. An Alabama or Washington win will hurt their chances and give the College Football Playoffs Selection Committee a lot to think about this weekend.</p>
<h2>Big Ten Championship Odds</h2>
<h3>Michigan Wolverines (#3) vs. Iowa Hawkeyes (#17)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Wolverines Point Spread: -23.0</li>
<li>Wolverines Moneyline: -2200</li>
<li>Hawkeyes Point Spread: +23.0</li>
<li>Hawkeyes Moneyline: +1000</li>
<li>Over/Under: 35.5</li>
</ul>
<p>Since the Big Ten is the only remaining Power Five Conference that still features divisional play, their Championship Game is largely moot. The Michigan Wolverines are guaranteed a spot in the CFP if they win and are favored by over three touchdowns on Saturday.</p>
