Coming off a rout of top 15 Oklahoma State, nearly posting 100 points on Texas Tech, beating top 20 West Virginia in Morgantown, and then beating down top 10 Kansas State, the Frogs leapfrogged (snicker) Alabama into the College Football Playoff rankings' top four. Nine games into their 2014 season, TCU was arguably playing better than anyone in the country. And they were absolutely robbed of their shot at a national title last season. They bring back quarterback Trevone Boykin, who finished fourth in last year's Heisman voting. They head into this fall ranked #2 in the nation. TCU is getting a deserved preseason kiss from the AP voters. You know, the way Kansas did last season. Kansas football may be down in the dumps right now, but you don't have to be good to impact the College Football Playoff. With what we know about the Jayhawks heading into this season, those odds seem downright kind. However, the 'Hawks odds of winning the Big 12 (10!!) are listed at 300/1. Kansas, as you'd expect, doesn't even register on the scale, which feels no need to mention anyone lower than a 500/1 odd. Tied for second is Alabama and Texas Christian at 7/1. The 2015 preseason College Football Championship and Conference odds are out, courtesy of Bovada in Las Vegas.ĭefending champion Ohio State, with its embarrassment of riches at quarterback, is the odds on favorite to repeat at 11/4.
