[QUOTE="iggymcfly, post: 108604, member: 1915"] As far as sports betting goes, futures aren't exactly an efficient market, but it still gives at least some idea what the oddsmakers think about the championship race. Alabama: +155 Oregon: +230 TCU: +425 Baylor: +800 Florida State: +900 Ohio State: +1200 Missouri: +3300 Arizona: +10000 Georgia Tech: +10000 Mississippi State: +20000 Takeaways: -Passing Michigan State and Wisconsin should not be an issue as neither is even listed in the playoff odds. Note also that Mississippi State has twice as bad odds as us with no games left, and they have a significantly better chance if we lose, so in the special case where we beat Florida State, we would be a huge favorite to get in over the Bulldogs since all of our chances are included in that scenario while Mississippi State's chances are reduced when we win. -Missouri has significantly better odds than us. That means that they're probably a very legitimate threat to pass us if they beat Alabama. The head-to-head works in our favor, but with our extremely negligible chance of passing Alabama, we should definitely be rooting for the Tide on Saturday. [/QUOTE]
