The 2024 college football season has been highly entertaining halfway through the year. Contenders are starting to appear in the first season of the 12-team college football playoff. In years past, one win could end a team\u2019s chance at a postseason opportunity. That is no longer the case with the 12-team college football playoffs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In Week 7, a team like the Ohio State Buckeyes will benefit from playoff expansion. Ryan Day\u2019s squad lost a tough 32-31 matchup vs. Oregon on the road. The Ducks are now 6-0 on the season and are #2 in the country. Ohio State is 5-1 and dropped to #4 in the country. While they took a tough loss to Oregon, the team could still finish as a top-four team this season.<\/span><\/p>\n After Week 7, the Texas Longhorns<\/a> have the lowest odds at (+370) to win the National Championship this season. Head coach Steve <\/span>Sarkisian has built a tough program and the team is 6-0. Even when starting QB Quinn Ewers went down with an oblique injury, the Longhorns never missed a beat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Backup QB Arch Manning came in and was able to keep the winning streak alive. The Longhorns are at home in Week 8 for a top-five matchup with #5 Georgia heading to Austin. Even after a loss to Oregon in Week 7, the Ohio State Buckeyes<\/a> have the second-lowest odds at (+450) to win the National Championship. In three weeks, the Buckeyes will be on the road to face the Penn State Nittany Lions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWho is favored to win the National Championship in 2024? <\/b><\/h2>\n
