Michigan Wolverines tight end Colston Loveland (18) celebrates after winning 2024 College Football Playoff national championship game against the Washington Huskies at NRG Stadium.
Michigan reigns supreme!
The Michigan Wolverines secured their first ever College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday, defeating No. 2 Washington by a considerable margin, 34-13. The Wolverines became just the fourth school all-time to finish the season as champions with a perfect 15-0 record.
Of course, eventually the Wolverines’ celebration will cease. Head coach Jim Harbaugh may be headed to the NFL for a second stint, leaving the Wolverines perhaps short-handed heading into their title defense in 2025. Only Alabama (2011-12) and Georgia (2021-22) have been able to earn back-to-back national titles this century — unless you also count USC’s co-champions and vacated titles in 2003 and 2004. It will be a daunting task for the Wolverines.
In fact, Michigan is not even the favorites to win the national title next year. Here are the top-10 schools with the best odds to win next year’s College Football Playoff. Odds are courtesy of BetMGM.

College Football National Championship odds 2025:
1. Georgia Bulldogs (+325)
With quarterback Carson Beck returning for next year, the Georgia Bulldogs will look to rebound from a disappointing finish to the 2023-24 season. Beck should have more help as well with incoming Florida transfer Trevor Etienne likely making a large impact in the Bulldogs’ backfield.
All in all, the Bulldogs boast one of the best incoming classes for 2025 as they always do. Regardless of who winds up stepping up for the Bulldogs, they are sure to be competitive next season.
2. Alabama Crimson Tide (+550)
Alabama will take major hits on defense next…
