The 2020 season has already been arguably the strangest on record thanks to the restrictions put in place over the coronavirus. But the Power 5 is insistent that the season will go on.
As usual, the SEC is well-represented in the list of teams favored to make the College Football Playoff. But Clemson and Ohio State continue to come out first and second in most projections. A second SEC team hopes to make it in at the expense of Notre Dame and the Big 12.
Here are the latest figures from Vegas to win it all, according to Super Book Sports.
College Football Playoff national championship odds
Clemson Tigers
Odds to win College Football Playoff: 5/2
- The Tigers remain the consensus favorite to win it all. Trevor Lawrence is the nation’s best quarterback and he’s armed with a bevy of skill players who can ball with anybody.
Ohio State Buckeyes
Odds to win College Football Playoff: 3/1
- OSU will have just nine games to prove to the Selection Committee that they’re worthy of a Top 4 spot. Penn State, Michigan, and the Big Ten East champion stand in their way.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Odds to win CFP: 5/1
- You have to wonder if Alabama will be able to crack the Top 2 judging by their schedule, and the much easier schedules that Clemson and Ohio State have. On the other hand, if they go undefeated, you can easily argue the Tide is No. 1.
National Championship 2020 Score
Florida Gators
Odds to win CFP: 10/1
- The Gators made a statement with an offensive explosion against Ole Miss. If they can keep it up — and importantly, tighten up their defense — they could be favored against Georgia and make a run for the SEC East this season.
Georgia Bulldogs
Odds to win CFP: 10/1
- UGA looked sluggish on offense to say the least in Week 1. But this is a national championship caliber defense in all phases. If they can figure out how to move the ball, the Bulldogs could go down to the wire with Florida for a chance to play in Atlanta and beyond.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Odds To Win National Championship 2020
Odds to win CFP: 20/1
- The Irish took a week off against their will because of COVID. But when they return, ND brings back an offense that can move the ball well on the ground. The litmus test of course remains their huge home game against Clemson on Nov. 7.
Texas Longhorns
Odds to win CFP: 20/1
- Tom Herman’s team took a slight step ahead of OU in the Big 12 pecking order after escaping with a win at Texas Tech and the Sooners lost. But the Horns needed 63 points and an overtime period to do it. Lots of things to tighten up here before Texas is a definite contender.
Penn State Nittany Lions
Odds to win CFP: 30/1
- This looks like the second-best team in the Big Ten after OSU. And they’ll have a chance to scuttle the Buckeyes’ CFP hopes if they can pull off a huge upset at Happy Valley this year. Penn State brings back an experienced OL, Sean Clifford at quarterback, and a weapon in Pat Freiermuth at TE.
Oklahoma Sooners
Odds to win CFP: 30/1
- Spencer Rattler has experienced the ups and downs of a career at QB in just two career games. But his three picks contributed to the Sooners’ upset loss at home to unranked Kansas State. Still, there’s a long way to go, and history shows OU has hope. Ohio State was upset at home in their second game in the year they won the first-ever CFP National Championship.
The rest of the best
- Oregon Ducks: 30/1
- Auburn Tigers: 40/1
- Michigan Wolverines: 40/1
- Wisconsin Badgers: 40/1
- USC Trojans: 40/1
- Texas A&M Aggies: 60/1
- Minnesota Golden Gophers: 60/1
- Mississippi State Bulldogs: 60/1
- North Carolina Tar Heels: 100/1
- LSU Tigers: 200/1
- Memphis Tigers: 300/1
- Washington Huskies: 300/1

Preseason Vegas Lines for Past NCAA Football Championship Teams
The table below lists the preseason line on every team that went on to win the title since 2002. The 2010 Auburn Tigers were the most unlikely champs in recent history. A $100 bet on Auburn made before the start of the 2010 season would have paid $5,000 at the end of the year. Compare that to the heavily-favored 2004 USC Trojans.
