2024 College Football Season Preview
Another fall's worth of college football betting is nearly upon us, so let's have a look at the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS season and forecast what bettors can expect for this year.
The CFP Committee has announced plans to meet throughout the season to deliver their rankings and eventually decide who will advance to the NCAAF postseason for a chance at a National Championship.
Based on the current NCAAF postseason betting odds, as well as the betting lines that have been made available for conference titles, we can expect some of the usual customers to be involved in the playoffs when CFP decisions are made in late December.
Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC)
The FSU Seminoles are slight heavy favorites to repeat as ACC champions and advance to the CFP this year. Both Clemson and Miami are expected to contend for the ACC Championship as well. The preseason NCAAF futures suggest that only one team from the ACC will make it to the College Football Playoffs, so it is a winner-take-all.
- Florida State +300
- Clemson +325
- Miami Florida +400
- Louisville +800
- NC State +700
- Virginia Tech +750
- North Carolina +2800
- Syracuse +4000
- Georgia Tech +7000
- Boston College +10000
- Duke +12500

- Virginia +13000
- Wake Forest +25000
- California +5000
- Stanford +50000
- SMU +1600
Southeastern Conference (SEC)
There is no longer any doubt in the minds of football betting enthusiasts as to which conference is the most dominant in NCAAF - the SEC. The Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs always seem to be involved in the national championship picture. The projections for this year are no different. Once again, Alabama is looking to reload and reestablish its top spot on the college football scene, but the odds imply that they will finish behind both the Bulldogs and the Texas Longhorns.
- Georgia +190
- Texas +330
- Alabama +650

- South Carolina +15000
- Mississippi State +30000
- Vanderbilt +50000
Big 12 Conference (Big 12)
The new look Big-12, like the ACC, is positioned to send only the conference champions to the CFP. One month out from the beginning of the 2024-25 season, the winning program is projected to be the Utah Utes, with the Kansas State Wildcats holding the second spot. Don't sleep on Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes at +2800 during the second year of his coaching tenure.

The Big Ten is once again expected to be won by the Ohio State Buckeyes, which will guarantee them a spot among the final four College Football Playoff seeds at the end of the season. The Michigan Wolverines are also expected to give them a run, with preseason futures that suggest they could make the CFP without winning the Big Ten. The Oregon Ducks and Penn State Nittany Lions are also expected to compete to become the conference's top team.
