All of the teams currently in are favored to hold their spots.
BYU and Alabama are projected to have the toughest time with it. Though the Cougars have a coveted bye, they are about to play a huge rivalry game on the road at Utah. They're set as [tallysight-widget type="odds-text" id="672bae8b7137a135775e2367"] favorites.
Alabama already has two losses in its first season under Kalen DeBoer. It's only a slight [tallysight-widget type="odds-text" id="672baed634f26d3992836fbe"] favorite in its next game at LSU. Oklahoma and Auburn also remain on the schedule.
Bubble Teams In College Football Playoff Bracket
Below are the teams with the best chance to crash the party, as the first four are out.
Team Current Odds Remaining Schedule No. 13 SMU [tallysight-widget type="odds-text" id="672bace3ed0baccaca8f52f1"] vs. Boston College, @ Virginia, vs. Cal No. 14 Texas A&M [tallysight-widget type="odds-text" id="672bacf47137a135775e231a"] vs. New Mexico State, @ Auburn, vs. Texas No. 15 LSU [tallysight-widget type="odds-text" id="672bad1234f26d3992836faa"] vs. Alabama, @ Florida, vs. Vanderbilt, vs. Oklahoma No. 16 Ole Miss [tallysight-widget type="odds-text" id="672bad291b87ac78fb4f3dd0"] vs. Georgia, @ Florida, vs. Mississippi State
On the flip side of Alabama, LSU currently has some tough games. The Tigers host the Tide and then play in Florida. The Gators have played some better football of late. LSU can move the needle by picking up two impressive wins.
Ole Miss is in a similar situation. The Rebels host the formerly top-ranked Bulldogs before heading to Florida themselves. A loss to 3-6 Kentucky would cast a shadow over their resume.
Pay attention to this week's college football odds to try to predict how next week's bracket will shake out.
