I put projections for the games without lines based on Sagarin Ratings. A lot of unfavorable matchups for the Big Ten non-playoff teams. Nebraska is the only team favored by much, and Minnesota projected to be a small favorite.
PSU will be a TD favorite in each of their first two games.
Projections of lines of their possible semi-final opponents:
Georgia | +2.5 |
Notre Dame | +3.5 |
Indiana | -2 |
Penn State would have very reasonable odds to make the finals.
Projections of Oregon/Ohio State's semifinal opponents:
Opponent | Oregon's Line | Ohio State's Line |
Texas | +1 | pickem |
Clemson | -7 | -7.5 |
Arizona State | -6 | -6.5 |
Projections of Indiana's possible semifinal opponents:
Boise | -6.5 |
Penn State | +2 |
SMU | -1 |
