Clemson (+225) should be the favorite. The Tigers have made the national championship game each of the last two seasons and four of the last five, having won it all twice. More importantly, they have QB Trevor Lawrence, arguably the best quarterback in college football, returning for his junior season. He has led them to the title game in his first two seasons and won one.

Likewise, you have to count on the SEC to be represented in the title game. At least one SEC team has been in the championship game every year since 2015.

Ohio State (+300) is also a good bet. The Buckeyes made the semifinal last season, narrowly losing to Clemson and the Buckeyes have QB Justin Fields returning as the starter under center.

The favorites are the favorites for a reason. The only teams you should reasonably bet to win are Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama (+450) and LSU (+650).

Picking only two? Go with Clemson and Ohio State.

If there is a long shot, stick with the SEC and go with Florida (+1400). The Gators have a returning starting quarterback, while Georgia (+900) looks to replace QB Jake Fromm.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Clemson to win the college football national championship will earn $22.50 in profit if they do.
