The college football world can't seem to agree on how they view Georgia football in the College Football Playoff. Some still think Georgia has a chance to win a National Championship even after Carson Beck was officially ruled out for the season while others think this news will make it impossible for UGA to win the national title.
So while the college football world is torn on how to think, Vegas is quite certain on how they view Georgia. In fact, Georgia's odds recently improved even after the news about Beck was released.
Georgia football's National Title odds are improving
About a week ago, Georgia had the third best odds to win a national title according to FanDuel Sportsbook at +500. This was tied with Ohio State and slightly behind Texas with Oregon leading the way with the best odds. These odds were before the first round playoff games occurred, so they were likely to adjust based on how the games played out. And that's exactly what happened.
Ohio State shot up FanDuel's odds to +330, which is slightly behind Texas at +310 who is now the betting favortie. Oregon fell back significantly without even playing from +350 to +480, likely because of how great the Buckeyes looked against Tennessee on Saturday night.
But Georgia also saw their odds move, and they improved slightly to +480. This is a little surprising because Notre Dame looked pretty strong against Indiana, but for whatever reason Vegas is now more confident in Georgia winning a national title than they were before the first round CFP games.
Georgia clearly has a lot of work to do if they are going to win a National Championship, but the nice thing is that the three teams with better odds are all in the other half of the bracket. So Georgia has the best odds to win it all from their side of the bracket, meaning Vegas thinks they have a better chance to make the National Championship game than Notre Dame, Penn State and Boise State.
While it is nice that this is the case, Kirby Smart and Georgia still have to go out and win these games. And that all begins on Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame.
