Paul Finebaum didn’t mince his words regarding Georgia’s standing following their loss to Notre Dame in the Quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff, comparing the Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

While Notre Dame’s win against Georgia was the first win in a big bowl game in more than 30 years, Penn State is still searching for that level of win under James Franklin. The Nittany Lions had the so-called easy path to the semifinals and took advantage with a dominant win against SMU and a comfortable win against Boise State.

As a result, Ohio’s best sportsbooks now favor the Buckeyes to win the national championship. Oddsmakers were high on Ohio State after the regular season, giving OSU the third-best odds to win the title. No CFP team has been more impressive than the Buckeyes, and sportsbooks responded accordingly.
