See make/miss odds from DraftKings Sportsbook further below as you can also wager on a team to miss the CFP.

  • December 3: Florida State’s odds to make the CFP improved to -450 on average after they defeated Louisville in the ACC Championship. Oddsmakers are projecting Alabama (+110) will be the team left out on Selection Sunday.
  • December 2: Alabama became a huge -800 favorite to make the CFP after defeating Georgia in the SEC Championship, while the Bulldogs’ playoff odds faded to +400.
  • November 26: Michigan became a gigantic -4000 favorite to make the CFP after beating Ohio State, while the Buckeyes’ odds faded to +1300. Georgia (-475), Oregon (-280), and FSU (-150) also have favorable odds heading into Conference Championships.
  • November 21: Oregon is now a heavy -170 favorite to make the CFP even though Washington is ranked No. 4 in the latest CFP rankings. Florida State, meanwhile, has seen their odds fade to +140 due to Jordan Travis’ injury.
  • November 6: Oregon (-105) has claimed a spot in the four-team CFP odds following its big win over Cal in Week 11. Although undefeated Washington beat the Ducks during the regular season, oddsmakers are essentially predicting Oregon will take down the Huskies in the Pac-12 Title game.
  • November 1: After Ohio State was surprisingly unveiled as the No. 1 team in the initial CFP Rankings, DraftKings shortened the Buckeyes’ CFP odds from +115 to +105. OSU still has the longest odds to make the CFP of the four teams, however.
  • October 23: Ohio State (+110) has overtaken Washington (+120) as the fourth favorite to make the CFP after the Huskies narrowly avoided an upset loss to lowly Arizona State in Week 8.
  • October 16: Washington is now one of the favorites to make the four-team CFP after taking down Oregon in Week 7 to remain undefeated. While the Huskies have +125 odds to make the playoff, Oklahoma (+160) and Ohio State (+170) aren’t far behind.
  • September 5: Florida State’s odds to make the playoff improved to +180 following its Week 1 upset win over LSU, while the Tigers’ odds lengthened to +750. Colorado, meanwhile, now has +3500 average odds to make the CFP after upsetting TCU.
  • August 21: Iowa has seen notable improvement in its odds to make the CFP leading up to the start of the season. After opening with playoff odds around +2500, the Hawkeyes are now being given +1100 odds to make the four-team bracket.
  • June 6: Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and Alabama have opened as the four favorites to make the CFP in 2024. The two-time defending national champion Bulldogs have the best odds at -250, while the Crimson Tide have the worst odds of the four at +155.
