The College Football National Championship, unlike some other sports, consistently produces the same pool of a few winners. The likes of Georgia, LSU, and Ohio State have managed to occasionally overtake the dynasties that Alabama’s Nick Saban and Clemson’s Dabo Swinney created. But for the most part, Alabama and Clemson have run the playoff since it started.
The decision on whether or not the playoff will actually expand and give these longshot teams a chance to secure a spot is still up in the air. Having to be one of only four teams in the entire country to make it in, there is a chance that with a strong schedule and undefeated season one can make a push.
Here are some long shot picks for the 2022 College Football National Championship (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook).
