Editor’s note (Aug. 18): with the uncertainty surrounding the entire 2020-21 season, most sportsbooks have removed their college football futures. This tracker will not be updated until the start date and length of the season are finalized.
The 2020-21 college football season will (hopefully) kickoff on August 29th, when Notre Dame and Navy clash. From there, it’s a mere 3.5 months until the four-team College Football Playoff field is finalized.
The graphs below set out the average odds for the main CFP hopefuls heading into and during the 2020-21 season.
