2023-2024 College Football Playoff Betting
This will be the last year of a four-team College Football Playoff. The CFP will triple to 12 teams starting in 2024, and that will erase many of the controversies that we currently have over who does and doesn’t belong in the playoffs. Any undefeated Power Five team will be a part of the CFP, and the top Group of Five team will also qualify for the expanded playoff. Of course, even with the expanded playoffs, teams from the SEC are considered the overwhelming favorites to win the national championship, as we continue to see with the college football futures odds.

College Football Playoff Format
Over the last several weeks of the regular season, the College Football Playoff Selection Committee gets together and votes on its Top 25. The committee is tasked with ultimately choosing the best four teams in America to play against each other.
The locations of the national semifinals move every season. The Cotton Bowl and Orange Bowl are tied together, the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl are tied together, and the Peach Bowl and Fiesta Bowl are paired together. Once every three years one of those pairs hosts the national semifinals, and they play home to the Selection Committee bowl games in the other two seasons.

Alabama is the most successful team in the modern era of college football. The Crimson Tide have been dominant since Nick Saban came to Tuscaloosa, and he has led the program to six national championships. That has led to Alabama putting distance between itself and other powers like Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma, and Ohio State.
While Notre Dame was once a national power, the Fighting Irish have only been somewhat competitive over the last three decades. They haven’t won a national championship since Tony Rice led the Fighting Irish to a title in 1988, and they were flattened when they faced elite teams in the Brian Kelly era.
