The College Football Playoff is about a month away, and already there are betting lines available for the potential matchups. While the point spreads offered at two offshore shops differ significantly from one another, there are also big differences between their numbers and the power ratings posted by oddsmakers at [Circa Sports](https://twitter.com/CircaSports/status/1199478199069003777/photo/1) in Las Vegas. At BetOnline and Circa, Clemson owns the No. 1 power rating, and the offshore sportsbook lists the Tigers as favorites against all potential playoff opponents. At Bovada, Ohio State is favored against every team in the field, and all three books agree that Ohio State and Clemson are the top two teams in the nation. These ratings may come as a surprise to the public, as Clemson is No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings and have flown under the radar against a weak schedule. But Trevor Lawrence has bounced back from a slow start to the season. Over his past six games, the Clemson QB has completed 74.1% of his passes for 1,444 yards and a 19:3 TD:INT ratio. His streak of 111 passes without a pick is the second-longest active streak by a Power 5 QB, according to ESPN. At the Westgate SuperBook, the [Tigers' odds to win the national championship](https://www.betchicago.com/odds-win-national-championship-cfb-playoffs-ohio-state-lsu) shortened from +275 to +225 this past week, making them the second favorites behind Ohio State at +160. LSU's road to the playoff isn't as easy as Ohio State's or Clemson's, as it needs to beat Georgia in the SEC title game to ensure a spot in the final four. Bovada prices LSU as a 6.5-point favorite over Georgia, and BetOnline's spread is LSU -3. Per Circa's power ratings, which have LSU just 2.5 points better than the Bulldogs on a neutral field, value in the advanced lines is on the underdog. It's interesting to see where different books power rate teams, but you can expect the numbers to tighten per the market by kickoff of the semifinals on Decemember 28 or the championship game on January 13. ## College football playoff point spreads BetOnline Clemson -1 vs. Ohio State Ohio State -3.5 vs. LSU Clemson -4.5 vs. LSU LSU -3 vs. Georgia LSU pk vs. Alabama Ohio State -7.5 vs. Georgia Ohio State -3.5 vs. Alabama Clemson -4.5 vs. Alabama Clemson -8 vs. Georgia Alabama -3.5 vs. Georgia ## College football playoff point spreads Bovada Clemson -6.5 vs. Alabama Clemson -10.5 vs. Georgia Clemson -1 vs. LSU Clemson -13.5 vs. Oklahoma Clemson -14.5 vs. Utah LSU -3.5 vs. Alabama LSU -6.5 vs. Georgia LSU -6.5 vs. Oklahoma LSU -9.5 vs. Utah Ohio State -6 vs. Alabama Ohio State -8 vs. Georgia Ohio State -2.5 vs. Clemson Ohio State -2.5 vs. LSU Ohio State -12 vs. Oklahoma Ohio State -10.5 vs. Utah Georgia -6.5 vs. Oklahoma Georgia -2.5 vs. Utah Alabama -10 vs. Oklahoma Alabama -6 vs. Georgia Alabama -8 vs. Utah Utah -1.5 vs. Oklahoma __MORE:__ [Week 14 Big Ten betting lines, projections](https://www.betchicago.com/week-14-big-ten-betting-lines-projections-weather-minnesota)
