Likely Insider Betting connected to the CFP Committee Meetings
As others pointed out
Florida State has been the heavy favorite for the final spot in the CFP with odds of -350 to -400 vs +125 for Bama (Georgia was and remains a long shot) on FanDuel and DraftKings.
In the last couple of hours, the odds are shifting towards Bama. FSU is now approx -160 and Bama is now approx -115 and they are tweaking by the minute.
Across sports, this kind of last minute shift in odds toward the actual result leads to an investigation, in this case, of the betters and everyone that had access to the meetings. Insider betting is illegal. The next step is usually to announce an investigation and check text, phone, and email records. Or, is the CFP able to bury this?
This has to be the biggest scandal in college football. /s

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Corruption at its finest
December 3rd, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
I see the signs on this one...it must have been that someone stole signs!
Someone look into Pete Finebald the twerp creep!
December 3rd, 2023 at 2:58 PM ^
What is Connor Stalions' alibi?
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
He doesn’t have one, so Harbaugh is banned from coaching for two games.
December 3rd, 2023 at 2:59 PM ^
Bobby Bowden is turning.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:01 PM ^
If you lost money here, you bet that you are pissed.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
Talk about CHEATING.
Look in the mirror CFP.
Go Blue.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
Suspend Harbaugh.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:09 PM ^
Contact the NCAA, Petitti, and. PI with connections to the “Just for Men” brand of products.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:11 PM ^
Is it safe to put FSU in without their starting QB? I mean, the backup got a concussion. Maybe just force them to be ineligible for bowl games -- for player safety. Think of the children.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:12 PM ^
If FanDuel and DraftKings want to place odds on something where people have true insider information --- well, that seems ridiculous to me.
But they must make $$$ on it. They also put up odds on WWE!
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:18 PM ^
at around 1am I got FSU to not make it at +420. I didn't want it to happen, but that was easy money to not pass up.
December 3rd, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
i woke up and got bama +134 to make it and FSU +350 not to... made a decent amount of money today
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:19 PM ^
No they only ratfuck Harbaugh
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:42 PM ^
Ratfuck?
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:04 PM ^
They do!
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:21 PM ^
If you were delusional enough to put money on FSU making it, you might have a betting problem.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
Hopefully Florida legislators get into this. Otherwise, there’s zero chance anything happens. The new ESPN sportsbook has nothing to do with any of this
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:32 PM ^
the preferred snack of the CFB committee
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:41 PM ^
I have 1,000 questions
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:44 PM ^
I have but one...
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
Strange that this product doesn't exist here in the pacific northwest.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
I don’t believe this—no added MSG?
December 3rd, 2023 at 7:36 PM ^
Apparently they’re tasty enough on their own.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:48 PM ^
But not the biggest scandal in the history of the Big Ten
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:55 PM ^
Im sure Harbaugh will be suspended as a result
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:26 PM ^
Probably since our AD is on the committee.
December 3rd, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
Why \s. This is highly probable
December 3rd, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
Bet!
Am I doing it right??
December 3rd, 2023 at 4:53 PM ^
Watch them pin it on Conner by hacking Warde's phone.
December 3rd, 2023 at 4:54 PM ^
No need for the
/s
This year was grimy. I don't see why people can't both admit that, sure, you probably want to play FSU over Bama but FSU was also totally boned.
It's a stain on the sport and the message it sends is both disgusting and will not go away with a 12 team playoff. That doesn't solve the problem of the message the committee just sent.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:00 PM ^
This would be the second biggest scandal in sports history. Behind the Michigan sign stealing scandal, of course.
December 3rd, 2023 at 5:03 PM ^
Booger is my here. Not that Booger
December 3rd, 2023 at 11:57 PM ^
It was Pettiti, betting big based on an inside tip before he forwarded the inside info to his buddy Thameltoe.

If they didn't want the process to be corrupt, they would have more discretely defined criteria and less reliance on subjective committee members' feelz. I mean, a vibes-based selection process is a recipe for soliciting lobbying/influence/bribes. It's not a flaw, it's a feature.
