The only memorable game was the double overtime win by Texas against Arizona State in the Peach Bowl. Seeding has meant very little in the College Football Playoff, as the committee will need to rethink how the seeding is done for next season. All four of the top seeds in the College Football Playoff are gone. Ohio State was a No. 8 seed and yet they are now the favorite in college football futures odds to win the national title. Notre Dame was a No. 7 seed, Penn State a No. 6 seed and Texas a No. 5 seed.

As the 2024-2025 College Football Playoff heads into the semifinals, the Ohio State Buckeyes are the current favorite to win the national title. The Buckeyes are almost a touchdown favorite over the Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl Classic. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are the second choice in college football futures odds, while the Texas Longhorns are the third choice. The Penn State Nittany Lions are the longshot in College Football Playoff futures odds. Notre Dame is a slight favorite in NCAA football betting odds against Penn State in the Orange Bowl.

The College Football Playoff National Championship Game takes place on Monday, January 20th.
