The College Football Championship game was technically played Jan. 9, but that was a 65-7 massacre. The real championship was decided on New Year’s Eve when the Georgia Bulldogs knocked off the Ohio State Buckeyes on their way to back-to-back titles. Although, with every new year comes a renewed sense of optimism and for some programs. A few new faces come along as well. With that said, let’s take a look at the odds to take home this year’s National Championship.
2023-24 NCAAF Championship Odds
Here are the best prices on the top contenders for the 2023 NCAA Football Championship. A lot of the names at the top of the list are ones we see every year. Who can be a dark horse championship contender in 2023? If you have one in mind, check out the odds below.
Why is Georgia the Favorite to Win the National Championship?
When you win back-to-back National Championships, you remain the favorite until someone knocks you off. That is where the Georgia Bulldogs find themselves this coming season. The team will have some new players as 10 guys from that last championship team were taken in the 2023 NFL Draft. No team in the AP era or Bowl Championship era has ever won three straight titles. Georgia will be breaking in a lot of new starters for this championship run. How quickly the new faces gel and contribute will determine whether or not this is a team that can make that deep Bowl Championship run.

The second-shortest price to win the NCAAF championship are the Alabama Crimson Tide. That’s no surprise as Nick Saban’s teams are always up near the top of the rankings. The SEC powerhouse finished last season 11-2 after knocking off Kansas State 45-20 in their bowl.
Ohio State
The Ohio State Buckeyes are the only other team that comes in below 10-1 to win the National Championship game. They were knocked off by eventual champion Georgia last year 42-41 in a game they were up by double digits heading into the fourth quarter.
