Updated college football national championship odds for 2024

The 2024 college football season is already filled to the brim with storylines led by conference realignment in the SEC, Big Ten, and Big 12, the evergrowing transfer portal, and, of course, an unregulated NIL landscape that has teams placing their highest bids to acquire a player to compete.

This month, spring football has fans excited for what’s to come with their respective teams. In contrast, Texas A&M’s new head coach, Mike Elko, comes into a familiar spot after serving as the Aggies’ defensive coordinator from 2017 to 2021 under then-head coach Jimbo Fisher. Nearly every major program has already completed their respective spring game outside of A&M, as the Maroon & White spring game is set for Saturday, April 20.

Looking far, far ahead, the CFB playoff structure’s expansion to 12-teams has every program on its toes, knowing that a possible nine or ten wins could secure a postseason spot that isn’t a run-of-the-mill bowl game, and yes, despite a lack of, well, consistently living up to preseason expectations, Texas A&M under Elko could be right in the thick of things due to the Aggies’ relatively manageable SEC schedule.

So, thanks to FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football future predictions, we can now gauge the Top 15 contenders who should be vying for a playoff spot in late Dec.

Texas A&M Aggies

Maria Lysaker-USA TODAY Sports

2023 record: 7-5 (4-4 SEC)

FanDuel odds: +4000

As I have said time and time again this offseason, if the offensive line holds up, a healthy starting quarterback Conner Weigman should thrive in new offensive coordintoar Collin Klein’s spread out offense.

Missouri Tigers

Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports

2023 record: 11-2 (6-2 SEC)

Fan Duel odds: +3500

Outside of losing star running back Cody Shrader, quarterback Brady Cook and stud wide receiver Luther Burden III should be enough for the Tigers’ to be in the thick of the playoff race at the end of the year.

Tenessee Volunteers

Randy Sartin-USA TODAY Sports

2023 record: 9-4 (4-4 SEC)

FanDuel odds: +3000

Tennessee is interesting due to former five-star blue chip quarterback Nico Iamaleava taking over full time next season, because if this kids hits his stride early, and most importantly, head coach Josh Heupel let’s him make plays out of structure on a regular basis, the sky is the limit for the Volunteers.
