5 Most Overpriced College Football Contenders For 2024

Florida State Seminoles

Maybe the Florida State Seminoles left a bad taste in our mouths with how last season ended against the Georgia Bulldogs. With all of the opt-outs in the Orange Bowl and a lackluster effort, we're not sure what to expect from Mike Norvell's program in 2024. I'm not sold on the quarterback position with Florida State, which makes evaluating the team difficult before next season. For now, I'm comfortable looking elsewhere for value on the board and avoiding Florida State's +2200 national title price. 

Clemson Tigers

It's hardly a secret that the Clemson Tigers have struggled to adjust. The Tigers are behind in recruitment and dishing out money in NIL, which has slowed their program. There's a lot of buzz about quarterback Cade Klubnik, but I'm not sold on him leading the Tigers to a national title. The Tigers sit on the outside of the top ten with their national championship odds at +3000, and if recent memory suggests anything, that's a price bettors should be comfortable fading. 

Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish continue to be a solid program but isn't on the level of Georgia or Ohio State. Riley Leonard is an interesting addition to this group as their starting quarterback, and he enters the year with +2000 Heisman odds, which have him hovering around the top ten. I'm not quite sure if Marcus Freeman is the coach that will lead them over the hump. For now, Notre Dame's +2500 national championship odds aren't in an area where they're worthy of considering. 

LSU Tigers

There are reasons to get optimistic about the LSU Tigers in 2024, but we haven't fully bought into Brian Kelly's program. Garrett Nussmeier is an exciting quarterback prospect and a legitimate Heisman candidate at +1800, the sixth-shortest odds. The talent is there for Nussmeier to come in and find immediate success, yet I'm not entirely sold on the rest of this roster. Like Nussmeier, the Tigers also hold the sixth-shortest odds to win the natty at +1500. That price is too high for what we know about this Tigers team. 

Florida State Seminoles

Maybe the Florida State Seminoles left a bad taste in our mouths with how last season ended against the Georgia Bulldogs. With all of the opt-outs in the Orange Bowl and a lackluster effort, we're not sure what to expect from Mike Norvell's program in 2024.
