The Bulldogs opened as +350 favorites at
FanDuel and +450 at DraftKings to win the 2024 College Football
Playoff, which will expand to 12 teams for the first time. The
Bulldogs are favored ahead of SEC rival Alabama, with the
Crimson Tide opening at +550 and +600, respectively.
The Bulldogs' quest to win three consecutive titles was thwarted
by the Tide in last month's SEC championship. It was Alabama
that went on to reach the CFP, losing 27-20 in overtime to
Michigan in the semifinals. Georgia and Alabama have seen their
2024 rosters bolstered by the addition of transfers along with
the top two recruiting classes in the country by 247Sports.
Ohio State, which landed one of the most coveted quarterbacks
via the transfer portal in Will Howard, opened with the
third-shortest odds at +800 at both books.
The Buckeyes are followed by the Texas Longhorns, who opened at
+850 at FanDuel and +900 at DraftKings. The Longhorns' furious
rally against Washington in the other semifinal fell short in a
37-31 defeat.
Michigan is +1000 at both books, followed by Oregon at +1200 by
FanDuel and +1000 by DraftKings.
Florida State, which controversially was left out of the CFP
despite an undefeated season as the ACC champion, opened with
the ninth-shortest odds at +1800 at both books.
Washington suffered a 34-13 defeat on Monday night, and the
Huskies are +5000 longshots to win next season's title as they
prepare to join Michigan in the Big Ten.
