Called for by many, for a long time, NCAAF powers finally adopted a College Football Playoff system prior to the 2014 season. Replacing what was an often-controversial Bowl Championship Series (BCS), the College Football Playoff (CFP) system is better than the BCS and a solid foundation to build on. While adding four more contenders would be optimal, four squads are selected to play in the college football National Championship playoffs.

US College Football Playoffs 2018-19 Year End Review - 2020 Update
Please Note: Free picks return in August 2020 - News and odds updates posted as warranted.
Ugh! That did not go well eh? Hesitant to jump into a playoff feature, without regular season winnings already in the bank, we crashed during the 2018-19 College Football Playoff series. While we cashed tickets all season, within our NCAAF futures feature, we didn’t make any predictions here until the New Year’s Six Bowl games. That started well but ended poorly. We compounded our issues by whiffing on the Clemson vs Alabama CFP National Championship match. Alas, we finished with a 2-6 record and a (-425.76) loss.
We promise to do our best to be better right out of the gate during the 2019-20 season. In the meantime, we offer hearty congratulations to National Championship MVP QB Trevor Lawrence, his supporting Clemson Crew and HC Dabo Swinney. A likeable group, the Tigers youthful exuberance was somewhat lacking with HC Nick Saban led Alabama squads. Holding a 14-13 lead after the first quarter, the Cats offense exploded, plus their defense stiffened, and the Cats rolled over the Crimson Tide 30-3 in final three quarters.
“Despite the loss Nick Saban is a sparkling 139-15 since 2008 in Alabama”
When the final whistle blew – the scoreboard showed a 44-16 blowout by Clemson. We had to go back to October 7, 2000, to find a loss even close to this in the Nick Saban US College Football era. That was a 41-9 spanking by #12 Florida when Saban prowled the sidelines as bench boss of the LSU Tigers. Alabama’s biggest loss, in the era of Saint Nick, was by 14 points as the Tide were rolled 35-21 at #19 South Carolina during the 2010 regular season and suffered 45-31 loss to Oklahoma in the 2014 CFP Sugar Bowl.
Clemson, who first fielded an Independent squad back in 1896, claimed a third NCAAF National Championship. The Tigers won their first title after a 12-0 regular season and 22-15 victory over Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl. QB Deshaun Watson was the star when Clemson claimed their second crown with a 35-31 over Alabama in the 2017 CFP title match. We are especially happy for the players that stuck around for their Senior season and avenged a 24-6 Sugar Bowl thumping by the Tide in the 2018. Impressive by all..
“2020 CFP National Championship odds are posted at top online sportsbooks”
Less than 48 hours after the Tigers celebration ended, at Levi’s Field in Santa Clara, CA, Canada’s own Bodog sportsbook has 2020 College Football Playoff Championship prices on their betting board. While things may change, with players still declaring for the NFL Draft in April 2019, or others (Tide QB Jalen Hurts?) transferring to another school, Clemson has opened as tiny +175 chalk. Alabama is not far back with a +250 line while the Georgia Bulldogs have been tagged with a +550 National Championship price.
With NCAA Basketball and March Madness taking over the US College sports scene, this feature will receive updates as warranted. Prior to the 2019-20 regular season, we will jump in with quick weekly updates and well-researched NCAA Football predictions. In the meantime, we have sprinted out of the gate with our hoops futures and free picks early in the 2018-19 NCAAB season. We are also busy with previews and calls on the 2019 NFL playoffs through to the clash to claim Super Bowl 53 on February 3, 2019, in Atlanta, GA.
Premium matches, the CFP Committee selects eight teams from the final ranking list to play in four prestigious games that are played under Major Bowl banners that are not sponsoring that year’s Final Four.

This Conference Championship caliber action is readily available at CSB top rated online sportsbooks.
Following two weeks of Bowl games, the College Football season nears its pinnacle with two semi-final playoff matches. The best of the best, during the NCAAF regular season, get extra time to prepare as the Final Four squads clash during New Year's Day weekend to decide who plays for the National Championship. Some players are hitting the big stage for the first time while others take part in the final match of their University career. Following the teams closely, during weekly futures updates, we have a solid handle on these football betting opportunities.
Void of the Super Bowl two-week break, the National Championship game plays out one week after the semifinal matches. A cherry on top of three days of fantastic pigskin prognosticating, the NCAAF title match is on the Monday night that follows Saturday and Sunday NFL Wild Card playoff action. We remind Canuck Cappers that Championship game single bets are not available at local lottery kiosks - no matter the sport.

NCAA Football Bet Tracker: Pregame Wager - Bet Cashed - Ticket Trashed
Bettors get a "Best vs Best" battle as #1 Alabama clashes with #2 Clemson to close out the 2018-19 US College football season. A soggy field greets the teams when the NCAAF National Championship contest kicks off at 8:00 PM ET at Levi's Stadium, in Santa Clara, CA. During semifinal contests, the Crimson Tide advanced with a 45-34 Orange Bowl win over the Oklahoma Sooners while the Tigers trounced Notre Dame 30-3 in the Cotton Bowl Classic. Both teams are running white-hot heading into in this much anticipate battle.
National Championship: #1 Alabama (14–0) vs #2 Clemson (14-0)
Alabama numbers are affected due to playing a slightly tougher schedule than Clemson. This is the fourth straight year the Tigers and Crimson Tide have clashed in the College Football Playoff series. Alabama won the 2016 Championship 45-40, Clemson claimed the 2017 NCAAF title 35-31, prior to Alabama winning the 2018 Sugar Bowl semifinal clash with Clemson. In their only contest against a similar AP Top 25 team, the Tide rolled over Texas A&M 45-23 while the Tigers claimed a close 28-26 victory over the Aggies.
Evenly matched, here are some key comparisons for the National Championship:
“All-Time vs Clemson, Alabama is 2-2 ATS 3-1 S/U and 2-2 Over/Under”
Our New Year's Six predictions started well and then faded as we lost some razor close contests. Our Florida and Clemson calls cashed easily as the both teams won going away. Following what should have been a game ending play, an Alabama player was flagged for a personal foul and Oklahoma posted a back door cover with a TD one play later. UCF lost by a half point to LSU, Ohio State allowed 20 fourth quarter points and failed to cover by 1.5 points vs Washington and we whiffed on Georgia who mailed in a 28-21 loss vs Texas.
