Tech national championship odds improve again

By
Oct 7, 2014

The odds on Georgia Tech winning the inaugural College Football Playoff have dropped again. Online sportsbook Bovada lowered the odds to 100/1 this week following the Yellow Jackets' win over Miami to remain undefeated at 5-0. Tech began the season at 500/1, where it remained until Sept. 23, when Bovada dropped the odds to 300/1 after the Jackets' win over Virginia Tech.

Louisville, Missouri and USC have the same odds as Tech. There are 21 teams with better odds than the Yellow Jackets. Of the seven teams that started the season at 500/1 – Boston College, Tech, Oregon State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, South Florida and Central Florida – Tech is the only team still on the board. The 100/1 odds are the second longest being given. Iowa is at 150/1.
