What Are the Payout Odds if Army Makes the College Football Playoffs?
BetOnline.ag also has updated CFP qualification chances for six of the fringe programs potentially on the outside looking in.
Army is listed but their payout odds are $4000 for every $100 bet.
We asked AI and got a lot of mumble jumble, to be honest.
On3 provided us with a better answer as to how Army could still squeak in.
"Army would need to beat Tulane and get some help in the form of a UNLV win to set up a debate with the Rebels come Selection Sunday, but the Black Knights aren’t dead."
Yes, it's possible for Army to make the College Football Playoff (CFP), but here is what they are up against:
Army (10-1 Straight Up) needed Boise State to lose at least one game, but still win the Mountain West championship. The first part of that equation did not go Army's way.
ESPN gives Tulane an 80% chance of beating Army in the AAC title game. That's still doable with the Green Wave a -5 favorite in that one.
The Black Knights have already had one of the best seasons in recent school history. Their peak of No. 16 in the AP Poll was their highest since 1962..
Army's only loss this season was to Notre Dame, and they got destroyed.
