2018 College Football Playoff Odds & Predictions – 4 Teams Who Will Make Playoff

#1 Alabama Crimson Tide(+275 odds to win 2018 College Football Playoff National Title) – Head coach Nick Saban is the best in the business and he never rebuilds at Alabama. He simply reloads. The 2017 Crimson Tide team will once again be amongst the nation’s best as it’s loaded with future NFL talent and former 5 star high school blue chip recruits ready to make names for themselves. Sophomore quarterback Jalen Hurts should be much improved from his solid freshman season and the Bama offense should be much more consistent in both phases of the game(passing and running) with new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll coming in from the New England Patriots. Defensively, Bama once again should have one of the nation’s most dominant units with 6 starters back from last year’s top-rated unit in the nation.

#2 Ohio State Buckeyes(+700 odds to win 2018 College Football Playoff National Title) – While Nick Saban is our top choice for the best coach in college football, Urban Meyer is a close 2nd. Meyer is still seething from an embarrassing 31-0 loss to Clemson in the College Football Playoff semifinals last season but has 15 starters back and a talented influx of talented freshman to help rectify that loss. Make no mistake, the Buckeyes are loaded this season and have the horses to not only get back to the College Football Playoff but also win the National Championship. Ohio State is for real this season, folks.

#3 Florida State Seminoles(+700 odds to win 2018 College Football National Title) – The ACC Football league has improved greatly over the past handful of years and is now considered to be arguably the best league top to bottom in all of college football. The Florida State Seminoles are the class of the ACC talent-wise this season and will surely be in the College Football Playoff if they win the ACC Title. And, make no mistake, Florida State should win the ACC Title with 14 starters back from last season’s 10-3 team that closed the year on a 5 game winning streak including a 33-32 win over Michigan in the Orange Bowl. Sophomore quarterback Deondre Francois is the straw that stirs the drink and we expect him to be much improved from his freshman season and challenge for the 2017 Heisman Trophy with big time stats.

#4 USC Trojans(+700 odds to win 2018 College Football National Title) – The top pick in the 2018 NFL Draft is expected to be USC quarterback Sam Darnold if he decides to leave after his sophomore season this year. Darnold is a super talent as he tossed 31 touchdowns and threw for 3086 yards last season in leading the Trojans to a 10-3 record and a 52-49 win over Penn State in the Rose Bowl. USC closed the 2016 season on a 9 game winning streak and have huge expectations this year with Darnold good enough to carry a defense that is solid but far from great. USC’s offense should be electric this season and there is no reason why they shouldn’t win the PAC 12 and get to the College Football Playoff riding the arm of Darnold.
