College Football National Champion — live odds
How to read the odds
The top row is the consensus favorite. The edge is in disagreement: if you rate a team higher than its market price, that gap is the value. The 24-hour change column flags where money is moving today.
Why markets beat the polls
The AP and coaches' polls are opinion. A market is thousands of traders re-pricing on every result and injury, which makes the live number the sharpest single read on who's truly favored to win it all.
