The ACC welcomed three fresh programs to the conference in 2024, only one of which (SMU) is making its presence felt in these college football odds.

However, the ACC championship odds board still runs through Miami despite the Canes suffering their first loss in Week 11.

ACC championship favorite

Miami  Miami Hurricanes (+105 to +120)

An undefeated 9-0 start came to an end for the Miami Hurricanes in Week 11, but Mario Cristobal's squad is still in good position to win the ACC for the first time.

The Canes close out the regular season with games against Wake Forest and Syracuse, then will be up against SMU or Clemson in the title game.

Understanding college football futures odds

Sportsbooks release college football futures odds pretty much as soon the clock hits zero in the previous season's National Championship Game. There are many ways to wager on NCAA football futures but we'll use picking the outright winner of the National Championship — definitely the most popular — as our example.

During the offseason and preseason, you'll be able to get a plus-money price on basically any team in the nation as there is so much uncertainty around what will happen next year.

NCAA football championship odds will usually look like this:

  • Alabama Crimson Tide +125

This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to win $125 if the Crimson Tide win the national title. If it's close to the end of the regular season and there is a particularly dominant program, you might see that a team has a minus sign (-) ahead of its odds. 

  • Georgia Bulldogs -145

This means that if you bet on Georgia, you would need to bet $145 to profit $100 if the Bulldogs won the championship.

Of course, futures odds are a fluid market. They can change every day based on news, injuries, suspensions, transfers, etc. In college football there generally isn't too much movement in the futures market during the offseason, but once the season begins, look for huge changes week-to-week based on wins and losses.

All the odds seen above are in American format. Should you find decimal format or fractional format easier to read, simply convert the odds with our easy-to-use odds converter tool.
