Clemson still CFP favorite despite rankings drop
Pollsters and oddsmakers quite often don’t see eye to eye on where college teams rank.
That is certainly the case this week as the AP Poll dropped Clemson to fourth in its rankings, but most sportsbooks still have the Tigers listed with the lowest odds to capture a second consecutive CFP championship.
SportsBetting.ag (Twitter: SportsBettingAG) has updated CFP odds and Clemson remains atop the list with 5/2, or +250, odds. Wisconsin’s chances fell to 50/1 after being 16/1 last week.
On the Heisman Trophy odds board, Tua Tagovailoa isn’t the favorite for the first time all season. The ankle sprain that will force him to miss next week’s game, and possibly more, has dropped him to third on the Heisman list.
Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts have jumped ahead of Tagovailoa.
