Whats up guys had a long drive this past week where I was gonna have access to a few books I don't typically so I was scanning the market and have spent some time digging into one that had caught my eye. At travel time Fanduel was offering our top 3 favorites Bama, UGA, OSU vs the field at -198 and if Clemson is going to stay down like some experts think with the loss of their coordinators that felt like it was one of those classic "no way it can lose!" type of bets. With NIL and the CFP system itself becoming so prevalent in recruiting our preseason shape up has this season looking as top heavy as almost any of the CFP just based off the odds but 2020 does pretty closely resemble this seasons preseason odds. I spent most of my research just analyzing what previous seasons have looked like for a vs the field style bet and then dug deeper into how it played out for seasons with the tiers of favorites that most closely resembled this season. Realistically the obvious reason to avoid this bet is the massive juice on a future ties up a big chunk of your bank roll for the entire season so I don't think any of us are making this bet but for some preseason discussion why would you or wouldn't you take this wager? I will point out now at the time of posting odds have already moved to -188 when the -198 was actually giving some edge percentage-wise if you converted our top three favorites to implied probability from their straight up odds.
