Clemson, Colorado Overrated by College Football 25 Relative to Oddsmakers, Ole Miss Underrated

For the most part, the odds follow the odds board outside of a few delineations from the norm.

Clemson has been a CFP contender for much of the past decade-plus, but with head coach Dabo Swinney's reluctance to embrace the emergence of the transfer portal, the Tigers have slipped as a viable contender in the eyes of oddsmakers.

The Tigers are still a strong club, but not at the top of the nation like it was several years ago, closer to the group of teams in the high 80's rather than the ones that have a rating of 90 or better.

If there is a team that should flip ratings with Clemson, it's Ole Miss, who is viewed as a true National Championship contender this season under head coach Lane Kiffin, who has built a high powered offense around the likes of quarterback Jaxson Dart. The Rebels have better odds to win the CFP than three of the eight teams with a rating of 90 (Clemson, LSU, Notre Dame) and the same as SEC foe Alabama.

The last team worth noting is Colorado.

The Buffaloes are a polarizing team that has a lot of popularity around head coach Deion Sanders and his son Shedeur, who is a high level quarterback, as well as two-way star Travis Hunter. However, with a shaky offensive line and depth concerns, the Buffaloes are a fringe bowl contender, not an elite team that College Football 25 pegs them as.
