2024-2025 College Football Betting Online
Despite failing in their attempt for a 3-peat national championship, the Georgia Bulldogs are favored to win their third national championship in four years in the 2024-25 college football season. Top challengers to Georgia include the Ohio State Buckeyes, Texas Longhorns, Oregon Ducks, Alabama Crimson Tide, Ole Miss Rebels, and LSU Tigers. With the retirement of Alabama head coach and college football GOAT Nick Saban, there is a sense that the Alabama dynasty is coming to an end. Georgia is touted as the one program that can fill that void. Otherwise, more parity is expected in 2024-25.
College Football Season Kicks Off on August 24, 2024.
The National Championship Game is on Monday, January 20, 2025.

*Odds as of Monday, July 22, 10:00 AM ET
Georgia Bulldogs
Head coach Kirby Smart is a recruiting machine and has consistently put together the highest-ranked classes in the country over the past several years. Georgia was a close call for their third consecutive national championship last year but was upset by Alabama in the SEC championship game for their only loss of the season. Georgia is deep, talented, well coached, and now without the Saban Shadow lurking over them. Thus, the Bulldogs are a solid favorite.
Ohio State Buckeyes
Head coach Ryan Day has been a success at Ohio State, at least by the standards of a normal power program. But Day has lost three consecutive games to Michigan. In Columbus, Ohio, that is totally unacceptable. But Day’s hated arch-nemesis, Jim Harbaugh, has left Michigan for the NFL. Thus, the slate is clean, and Ohio State expects to re-dominate its series with the Wolverines, known as “The Game.” Heaven help Day if he loses to Michigan’s rookie head coach, Sherrone Moore.
Ryan Day stands an excellent chance to beat visiting Michigan at The Horseshoe and potentially win a national championship. Ohio State had a tremendous offseason and improved itself immensely on both sides of the line. The big question is if Kansas State transfer QB Will Howard can play at a championship level.
Texas Longhorns
Texas is back. That phrase has often been considered the kiss of death, but after making the 2023 College Football Playoff, it seems apropos. Head coach Steve Sarkisian will lead the Longhorns into their first season as members of the SEC with a loaded roster and two outstanding quarterbacks: 2023 starter Quin Ewers and 5-star recruit Eli Manning, who spent last year hitting the books and serving as Ewers’ understudy.
The big question gamblers and college football enthusiasts have is, does Texas have the toughness and physicality for the man-eating SEC gauntlet?
Oregon Ducks
The Oregon Ducks could have been a 2023 College Football Playoff team and many believe they should have. However, the Ducks lost twice to the hated arch-rival Washington Huskies, and that cost them a CFP shot. But with the expanded CFP in 2024-25, Oregon has more margin for error.
Oregon will be in its first season as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The Ducks are getting a reduced rate of pay from the B1G but could well prove they deserve more money than anyone else in the league. Head coach Dan Lanning learned his trade under Kirby Smart and that means recruiting. Lanning has stocked Oregon with a loaded roster capable of beating anyone in 2024-25.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Last year head coach Kalen DeBoer led the Washington Huskies to the national championship game, losing to Michigan. It was a remarkable season for Washington, and it was assumed that DeBoer would build a dynasty. But when Nick Saban retired, the entire landscape of college football dramatically changed. Less than a week after losing that national championship game, DeBoer left Washington for Alabama.
It is said you never want to be the man that follows the man but DeBoer is confident he can maintain Alabama’s championship standards.
Ole Miss Rebels
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin wanted to replace Saban, who once served as Alabama’s offensive coordinator. But after getting passed over, Kiffin has his best team yet at Ole Miss with an improved defense and lethal offense. Ole Miss could make for a strong dark horse selection.
