The Texas Longhorns ended their season with a dominant win over the Texas A&amp;M Aggies in rivalry week. Not only were the Longhorns able to take down their longtime rivals, but they were able to clinch their spot in the SEC Championship game for a rematch against the Georgia Bulldogs. Nonetheless, with an explosive offense and a stout defense, Texas will be a true contender when the College Football Playoff kicks off.
Odds to Win National Championship: Texas +380

1) Texas Longhorns (11-1)

The Penn State Nittany Lions stayed on course all season, even after losing to Ohio State. After consistently stacking wins, James Franklin's squad now finds themselves in a position to compete for the Big Ten Championship with a shot at a top seed and a bye in the first round of the CFP. While they may not be considered a favorite to win the natty, they're a dark horse team who could run the table.
Odds to Win National Championship: Penn State +1000

2) Penn State Nittany Lions (11-1)

At one point in the season, Notre Dame's early loss to NIU looked like it could dampen their playoff hopes. However, the Fighting Irish continued to take it game by game, and now they're sitting at 11-1 as a lock to compete in the College Football Playoff. And if teams don't take them seriously, Marcus Freeman's team has the talent to upset the top programs in the postseason.
Odds to Win National Championship: Notre Dame +800

3) Notre Dame Fighting Irish (11-1)

SMU has quietly stacked wins all season long, and after a while, their path to the College Football Playoff was hard to ignore. Now, they've secured a spot in the ACC Championship game where they could serve as a top seed in the CFP. SMU is a team on the rise.
Odds to Win National Championship: SMU +3200

4) SMU Mustangs (11-1)

The Indiana Hoosiers emerged as a true competitor in the Big Ten conference this season after hiring Curt Cignetti in the offseason. Indiana has a path to compete in the Big Ten Championship game, but losing to Ohio State ended those hopes. While many people seem to be discrediting the Hoosiers for their easy schedule, there's no denying that Indiana is a top program in the country.
Odds to Win National Championship: Indiana +4000

5) Indiana Hoosiers (11-1)

Boise State has stayed consistent throughout the entire season, with their one loss coming in a close one against the Oregon Ducks. The Broncos offense has looked explosive, and their defense has proven it can get the job done. While they may not be considered a true contender, their ability to compete for the Mountain West Championship and potentially represent the Group of Five in the CFP says otherwise.
Odds to Win National Championship: Boise State +10000

6) Boise State Broncos (11-1)

The Army Black Knights are never considered a top team in the nation nor viewed as a competitive program. However, Army put the critics to rest this season with one of the more dominant seasons in program history. With a 10-1 record, the Black Knights have impressed from start to finish.
Odds to Win National Championship: Army +100000
