Ohio State Wins Championship; Miami Eyes Rebound

Following Ohio State's victory over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff national championship, attention is shifting to the 2025-26 season with the new 12-team playoff format making predictions challenging. Miami Hurricanes, after a strong start to the 2024 season, finished 18th in the AP Poll due to a late-season collapse. Despite this, they look forward to the next season with promising recruits and transfers. Ohio State is considered too high at +450 odds due to uncertainties, while Miami is tied with South Carolina at +4000, indicating expectations for a rebound season. Texas A&M shares +3300 odds with South Carolina for the national title, with SEC teams like Texas and Georgia having better odds. South Carolina, led by quarterback LaNorris Sellers, holds 60/1 odds for the national title, reflecting preseason expectations based on their prior season performance.
