- Sep 5: Florida State is now a top-five favorite in the CFP National Title odds following its Week 1 win over LSU. The Seminoles’ odds shortened from +2150 to +1100 — a huge swing that may have been further boosted by Clemson losing to Duke on Monday.
- Sep 2: Colorado’s National Championship odds improved from +20000 to +10000 at DraftKings following their Week 1 upset win over TCU, although FanDuel still lists the Buffs as +30000 longshots.
- Jul 11: LSU’s odds to win the National Championship have steadily improved throughout the offseason. After opening around +2000 back in January, the Tigers are now sitting at +1200.
- May 1: Georgia’s odds have shortened slightly to +245 as hype builds around a possible three-peat for Kirby Smart’s program. Michigan, meanwhile, has faded from +800 to +1020.
- Jan 10: Georgia has opened as the heavy favorite to three-peat in the National Championship odds (+275), with Alabama a distant second at +550 and Ohio State third at +750.
2024 CFP Championship Public Betting Splits
DraftKings Sportsbook released CFP Championship public money data for the 2023-24 college football season following Week 1. Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes as +10000 longshot odds are receiving the most money to win the National Title (21%), although FSU (17%) and Michigan (11%) are close behind.
Colorado’s win total opened at just 3.5 this season, but the CFP Championship betting splits show that the public is putting their faith in Deion turning this program around. Right now, a simple $10 wager on Colorado to win the CFP at DraftKings would return $1,000 if the Buffs were to accomplish the near-impossible.
Past College Football Championship Winners (CFP Era)
| Year | Champion | Runner-up | Final Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Georgia | TCU | 65-7 |
| 2021 | Georgia | Alabama | 33-18 |
| 2020 | Alabama | Ohio State | 52-24 |
| 2019 | LSU | Clemson | 42-25 |
| 2018 | Clemson | Alabama | 44-16 |
| 2017 | Alabama | Georgia | 26-23 |
| 2016 | Clemson | Alabama | 35-31 |
| 2015 | Alabama | Clemson | 45-40 |
| 2014 | Ohio State | Oregon | 42-20 |
With consecutive titles in 2021 and 2022, Georgia is the only repeat winner of the College Football Championship in the CFP era (2014-present). Alabama leads the way with three national championships since the College Football Playoff was implemented.
Although TCU didn’t win the National Championship, they are arguably the top underdog story of the CFP era thus far. Sonny Dykes’ team opened as a +20000 longshot (0.5% implied probability) to win the National Title in 2023 and came one victory away from doing the improbable.

Table updated through 2023-24 CFP.
There are only six teams who have won a game in the College Football Playoffs, and both Alabama and Clemson have more CFP wins than the others combined. These two schools have simply dominated the CFP era.
No Independent or team from a Group 5 Conference has ever won a national championship in this time. Only one Group of 5 team (2021 Cincinnati) has even made the CFB Playoff since its inception in 2014. See the current odds to make the College Football Playoff in our tracker.
Active Coaches with National Championships
| Coach (Current Team) | Number of National Titles |
|---|---|
| Nick Saban (Alabama) | 7 |
| Dabo Swinney (Clemson) | 2 |
| Kirby Smart (Georgia) | 2 |
| Jimbo Fisher (Texas A&M) | 1 |
| Les Miles (Kansas) | 1 |
| Mack Brown (North Carolina) | 1 |
There are only six active college football coaches with national championship rings. Alabama head coach Nick Saban has twice as many CFB Championships (7) as any other active college football coach.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart can pull into second place on the list of active college football coaches with national championships if he achieves the three-peat with his Bulldogs.
