COLLEGE FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW Pt. 2 (8.20.25): Group of Five, CFP make/miss, Heisman report, and a National Championship bet
Description
In part 2 of the college football betting preview podcast, Matt Russell (@mrussauthentic) discusses the Group of Five conferences, who’s worth a bet to make and miss the College Football Playoff, and the Heisman Trophy outlook before the season starts.
Matt discusses the two teams in the American worth betting, but why those wagers should come in two different markets. Then, is Liberty a fade in Conference USA? Why you need to catch a team on the way up earlier in the G5 — especially the MAC. The Mountain West is Boise’s to lose again, but there’s a pair of teams that at least have a chance. Finally, there are few instances when a team has a ceiling that’s not captured by the betting market, but there might be one in the Sun Belt.
After three surprise qualifiers for the CFP last year, who can be the long shots to hit in Year 2 of the 12-teamer? Plus, is Clemson a lock for the playoff?
If there’s one upper-echelon team who could miss the CFP, who would it be?
Maybe you missed it?

Finally, Matt picks out his best bet for the national championship, and why it’s surprised even him, based on how he perceived this team coming out of last season.
