Some people want to do away with preseason polls.
They point to the season-long advantages early-ranked teams receive, and they point to the inaccuracies the polls perennially produce.
Last year, 13 of the preseason AP Top 25 teams finished outside of the AP Top 25 final rankings.
As always, there are some significant disparities between which teams the pollsters view as contenders and which teams the bookmakers view as contenders.
SportsBetting.ag has put together a table comparing the AP rankings to the CFP Championship odds rankings, which you can find below.
Notes:
- No. 12 Arizona State has worse CFP odds than 14 teams ranked below the Sun Devils
- No. 13 Illinois has worse CFP odds than 16 teams ranked below the Illini
- No. 6 Georgia has the second-lowest CFP odds
- No. 19 Oklahoma has the 14th-best CFP odds
- No. 20 Texas A&M is tied for the 11th-best CFP odds
- No. 25 Boise State has the worst CFP odds of any ranked team
- Auburn has the best CFP odds of unranked teams and better odds than 9 ranked teams
- USC has the second-best CFP odds of unranked teams and better odds than 8 ranked teams
- Five unranked teams have Top 25 CFP odds rankings
