Top 2020 NCAAF Championship Contenders by Conference

All the top-rated online sportsbooks have posted a set of NCAAF futures odds to win the 2020 national title. Since spring practice and annual spring games were cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak, there is quite a bit of grey area surrounding every Division IA team’s prospects for next season.

Team unknowns, along with numerous question marks on each side of the ball makes it all the more harder to handicap any team right now. However, in light of the posted odds to win a national title, there is also some solid betting value to be found if you know where and how to look.

To help clarify the contenders on the futures list, the following is a breakdown of teams by the five individual major conferences:

ACC

Clemson +300

Miami, Florida +8000

Florida State +10000

North Carolina +15000

Virginia +25000

Virginia Tech +25000

Syracuse +50000

Boston College +100000

North Carolina State +100000

This list begins and ends with Clemson as the overall favorite to win a national title.

Everyone else on this list is playing for a distant second in the ACC. Led by Heisman favorite Trevor Lawrence at quarterback, the Tigers offer quite a bit of value in the top spot.

Big 12

Oklahoma +2000

Texas +3300

Oklahoma State +5000

Iowa State +10000

Baylor +25000

Kansas State +50000

TCU +50000

Texas Tech +50000

The Sooners should win the Big 12 again to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff, but Texas is a value-added team to watch as well. Betting the Longhorns to win the conference might make some sense right now.PPH News: Pelican PPH Offers Bookies More For Less

Oklahoma and Texas will most likely meet each other twice this season to decide their national title fate.

Big Ten

Ohio State +400

Penn State +2500

Michigan +3300

Wisconsin +5000

Minnesota +8000

Nebraska +10000

Iowa +15000

Michigan State +50000

Northwestern +50000

Purdue +50000

Maryland +100000

It is tough to see the Buckeyes not playing in the playoff as Big Ten Champions. They also offer value in their +400 odds to win a national title behind Heisman hopeful quarterback Justin Fields. Wisconsin always offers some added value to win the conference title playing in the Big Ten West.

Pac-12

Oregon +2500

USC +6600

Washington +8000

Utah +10000

Arizona State +15000

California +50000

Colorado +50000

Northwestern +50000

Stanford +50000

UCLA +50000

Washington State +50000

This is definitely the most wide-open race for a conference title among the majors.

Yet, none of these teams should seriously compete for a national title.

Oregon are the logical pick to win the Pac-12 this season, but taking a flyer on Arizona State as a moderate longshot could be a good way to hedge that bet.

SEC

Alabama +600

Georgia +1000

Florida +1600

LSU +2000

Texas A&M +2500

Auburn +3300

Tennessee +5000

Kentucky +10000

Mississippi State +15000

The top five teams on this list also fall into the Top 10 of the NCAAF Championship futures list.

This is good and bad if you are a big SEC betting fan.

With the best teams beating each other up during the regular season, the value in each team’s individual odds to win a national title is diminished a bit. Still, it is hard to see Alabama out of the playoff two years in a row. That chip on its shoulder is big enough to carry this team all the way to another national title.
