The College Football Playoff committee has issued its Top 25 rankings, the last one before the final version is released Sunday.
You will hear a lot of opinions over the next few days on VSiN from our hosts and their guests, although none of them is likely to be as caustic as this one from The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman. (If only because we discourage F-bombs on the network.)
But I turned to the betting market to see how it sizes up the “Bubble” teams (odds from DraftKings to make the 12-team CFP field):
- 9. Alabama -1800
- 10. Notre Dame -500
- 25. James Madison +150
- 11. BYU +400
- 12. Miami FL +650
- Unranked Duke +2000
- Unranked UNLV +3000
As for the conference championships that (presumably) will help determine the CFP, VSiN.com managing editor Adam Burke has posted betting previews for Friday’s four games:
Conference USA: Kennesaw State (-2.5) vs. Jacksonville State, 7 ET
Sun Belt: Troy (+23) vs. James Madison, 7 ET
American: North Texas (-2.5) vs. Tulane, 8 p.m. ET
Mountain West: UNLV (+4) vs. Boise State, 8 p.m. ET
