Can I bet on who will win the college football national championship?

Yes, every legal sportsbook offers odds on teams to win the national championship. Some books list every time, while others just list true contenders. If you're in a state where betting on college teams from that state isn't legal, they just won't be listed, and you're wagering on the national champ without said teams. So if you're in New Jersey and Rutgers beat Alabama in the title game and you bet the Tide to win in the futures market, you'd win your bet.

How do college football odds work?

College football futures odds work like all other odds. American odds are centered around winning or wagering $100 -- so if Alabama is +200 to win the national title, a $100 bet on the Tide would pay $200, plus your original $100 back. That scales up or down depending on how much you want to bet -- a $1 bet would pay $2.

Who won the 2023-24 College Football Playoff?

The Michigan Wolverines defeated the Washington Huskies 34-13 to claim the 2023-24 National Championship.

Which team has won the most National Championships?

Alabama has the most national titles in the Poll Era (since 1936) with 13. Prior to that, many teams claimed national titles, as there was no official way to determine it like there is today.

The National Championship race appears to be wide open three weeks into the college football season.

Georgia has been the favorite to lift the trophy at the end since the start of the season. The Bulldogs remain favored, however, they stumbled to a one-point win over Kentucky this past week and lost their No. 1 spot in the AP Poll.

Georgia is +320 to win the National Championship at DraftKings. Georgia now has a week off before heading to Tuscaloosa to face the Alabama Crimson Tide, a game that is sure to shake-up the odds.

Right behind them is the Ohio State Buckeyes at +340 on DraftKings. Ohio State has not been tested so far. Their first major test will be on Oct. 12 against Oregon.

The teams slowly creeping up the odds board are Tennessee and Miami.
