2022 CFP Odds Movement Timeline

• Jan. 3: Georgia has opened as a -145 favorite over Alabama in the title game after stomping #3 Michigan in the semifinals, 34-11.
• Dec. 19: Two weeks of pre-game betting have shown that bettors have more confidence in Alabama (which improved from +128 to +120) than Georgia (which faded from +128 to +135).
• Dec. 5: With a dominant win in the SEC title game, Alabama has become a co-favorite with Georgia at +128. Michigan (+800) and Cincinnati (+1200) are widely expected to be the other two teams that qualify for the CFP this afternoon and sit third and fourth, respectively.
• Nov. 28: Michigan’s huge win over Ohio State moved its odds from +4500 to +950. OK State’s equally huge win over Oklahoma moved the Cowboys from +4500 to +1300. Both teams likely need to win their conference-title games next weekend to reach the four-team playoff.
• Nov. 21: The Buckeyes improved again (from +375 to +300) after a 56-7 statement win over #7 Michigan State. Oregon faded from +2750 to +20000 thanks to a 38-7 blowout loss at the hands of Utah

• Oct. 17: Iowa tumbled from +3000 (fifth-best odds) to +7500 after a stunning 24-7 upset loss to a sub-five-hundred Purdue team at home.
• Oct. 10: Alabama’s stunning upset loss at the hands of Texas A&M led to the Tide fading to +225. Georgia, which routed Auburn on the road, is now the +125 favorite.
• Oct. 3: Cincinnati improved from +4500 to +3250 after handing Notre Dame its first loss of the season in South Bend. The Irish faded from +5000 to +14000.
• Sep. 26: The gap between Alabama (+175) and Georgia (+188) is almost nil. The gap to third-favorite Ohio State (+1400) has grown to a chasm.

• Aug. 9: Even though Spencer Rattler’s Heisman odds are shortening in the preseason, Oklahoma’s title odds faded from +688 to +713. The rest of the top-five favorites stayed the same.
• Aug. 3: After a summer of transfers across the nation, Alabama has shortened from +300 to +253, while second-favorite Clemson faded from +388 to +408. Georgia (+563) passed Ohio State (+606) as third-favorite. Oklahoma (+688) rounds out the top-five, as usual.
• Jan. 25: Alabama’s odds have already shortened from +325 to +300. Two other top-five teams – Georgia and Oklahoma – saw their odds fade slightly: Georgia dropped from +750 to +775 and Oklahoma from +725 to +788.
