2024 College Football Playoff odds: Ohio State, Georgia tied; Tennessee moves
Just a few weeks into the college football season and the playoff picture is already a hot topic.
The College Football Playoff is officially expanding to 12 teams this season, meaning an early-season loss or midseason conference loss might not torpedo a program's chances of competing for a national title, like in years past.
That's an important note, considering a few big-name programs have already suffered defeats.
Let's check out the odds to make the 12-team Playoff at FanDuel Sportsbook as of Sept. 16.
