even out after falling in the swelled x title biz, Ohio State was listed as the slight favorite to win the national title after the College Football Playoff field was announced Sunday.
Ohio State was installed as the 240 favorite by DraftKings, slightly ahead of second choice Indiana , which was listed at 250. Indiana beat Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday at Indianapolis to clinch the Big Ten title.
Ohio State last won the Big Ten title in 2020 and was kept out of last year's conference title game after a late-season loss to rival Michigan. But the Buckeyes showed their resilience by winning four games in the College Football Playoff and earned the national title with a 34-23 victory over Notre Dame.
Georgia was listed as the third favorite at 600. Oregon was next at 750 despite not being one of the four teams that received a first- round bye.
Fourth-seeded Texas Tech was listed fifth at 800, while Texas A&M was sixth at 1800. The only three-loss team in the field, Alabama , was tied for the seventh-best odds along with Ole Miss and Miami at 2500. Oklahoma was 10th at 5500.
The longest shots on the board were the Group of Five teams included in the field James Madison at 50000 and Tulane at 60000.
First-round CFP matchups will be played on Dec. 19-20 at the home of the higher seeds:
No. 5 Oregon vs. No. 12 James Madison No. 6 Ole Miss vs. No. 11 Tulane No. 7 Texas A&M vs. No. 10 Miami No. 8 Oklahoma vs No. 9 Alabama
No. 1 Indiana will face the Alabama-Oklahoma winner on New Year's Day at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. No. 2 Ohio State plays the Miami-Texas A&M winner at the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Eve in Arlington, Texas.
