No. 25 Virginia Has the Worst CFP Odds of Any Ranked Team But Payout is $40K on a $100 Bet

Texas is the new No. 1 team in college football after an epic fourth-quarter comeback. The Longhorns rallied from a 23-3 deficit to stun previously top-ranked Ohio State.  But one of the ranked teams promises a payout of $40,000 for every $100 bet.  That team would be Virginia. 

Virginia comes into Week 2 as a -8.5 favorite vs. West Virginia. 

To see how the voters align with the sportsbook, check out the table below from BetOnline Sports & Casino, comparing the latest AP poll rankings to the current CFP Championship odds

Notes:

  • No. 25 Virginia has the worst CFP odds of any ranked team at 400/1 for that $40,000 payout on a $100 bet bet.
  • Florida has the best CFP odds of unranked teams and better odds than nine ranked teams
  • Four unranked teams have Top 25 CFP odds rankings
  • The biggest differences between rankings and odds:
    • Oregon +13 in the odds rankings
    • BYU -12 in the odds rankings
    • Oklahoma +10 in the odds rankings
    • Iowa -8 in the odds rankings
    • SMU, Houston and Virginia -7 in the odds rankings.

No. 25 Virginia and West Virginia will renew a long-dormant rivalry when they meet Saturday night in the Duke's Mayo Classic in Charlotte, N.C.

The game is at Bank of America Stadium, the same site where the Cavaliers defeated the Mountaineers 48-22 in the Continental Tire Bowl in their most recent meeting on Dec. 28, 2002.

Virginia (2-0) has outscored its first two opponents 93-11, including last Friday's 59-3 demolition of Norfolk State. West Virginia (2-0) also won in lopsided fashion with a 52-7 thumping of UT Martin last Saturday.
