Alabama already has two losses in its first season under Kalen DeBoer. It’s only a slight Alabama Crimson Tide -2.5 (-118) on DraftKings 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 | SMU Mustangs -160 on DraftKings | vs. Boston College, @ Virginia, vs. Cal |
| No. 14 Texas A&M | Texas A&M Aggies +800 on DraftKings | vs. New Mexico State, @ Auburn, vs. Texas |
| No. 15 LSU | LSU Tigers +700 on BetMGM | vs. Alabama, @ Florida, vs. Vanderbilt, vs. Oklahoma |
| No. 16 Ole Miss | Ole Miss Rebels +360 on DraftKings | 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.
