Now that College Football Playoff expansion has altered the format of the College Football Playoff, the NCAA postseason for everyoneโ€™s fall sports season is guaranteed to feature at least one power school.

Itโ€™s a very exciting time for hundreds of thousands of fans.

Yes, the college football odds market at BetMGM now includes many nontraditional teams. College football fans looking for some insight into which G5 team might clinch that playoff bid can turn to the College Football Playoff odds market.

Hereโ€™s a look at those teams, according to BetMGMโ€™s odds in Week 10.ย 

G5 Playoff Odds

  • Boise State -175
  • Memphis +800
  • Tulane +800
  • Army +800
  • Louisiana +1300
  • Navy +3000

G5 Playoff Spot: Boise State Commands Strong Position

Undefeated Boise State is in a strong position to make the CFP. The Broncos could run the table in the Mountain West and make the playoff field as a 13-0 conference champion.ย 

However, Boise State could also drop a game at any time playing a MWC schedule with a handful of strong challengers and difficult road destinations. The Broncos still need to play at San Jose State and at Wyoming. They have a home game against Oregon State, which was a power conference team just a year ago.ย 

Thereโ€™s also the Mountain West title game, which would disqualify Boise from automatic contention if they lose.ย 

Ashton Jeantyโ€™s Heisman status is an X-factor that helps the Broncos immensely in the polls. But there are still plenty of outcomes that could throw Boise back into the pool of contenders and create an opening for someone else.ย 

At this point, thereโ€™s a lot of value in throwing darts at other G5 teams in the playoff market.
