CFP odds, favorites to make 12-team field after Week 9

With nine weeks in the books on the 2024 college football season, the College Football Playoff picture has become slightly clearer on who will — and who won’t — make the 12-team field.

No. 3 Penn State and No. 4 Ohio State kept their unofficial ‘locks’ of making the College Football Playoff — per odds on BetMGM — intact in Week 9, as the Nittany Lions and Buckeyes staved off upsets to Wisconsin and Nebraska.

Perhaps the most notable change to CFP odds that came out of Week 9 is the drop in LSU’s odds of making the postseason. The Tigers’ upset loss to then-No. 14 Texas A&M has Brian Kelly’s squad at +225 odds of making the 12-team playoff.

The 2025 College Football Playoff will be the first time in the history of the playoff where the playing field will expand from beyond four teams.

This drastic change to the CFP will give the four highest-ranked conference champions a first-round bye and the next highest-ranked conference champion an automatic bid before filling in the remaining teams with at-larges. It will also see the first home games in playoff history, as seeds 5-8 host seeds 9-12 on campus.

Here’s the latest on who are the favorites to make the 2025 College Football Playoff:
